Mixing PG/VG or DIY with Premade juices

[penstyle]

Lets say I wanted to cut in half a fresh made store bought juice which probably needs 2 weeks to steep.
Should I wait till it is steeped to cut with my PG/VG?
Or add my PG/VG now then steep 2 weeks?

The scenario here is a 36mg with max flavor shots.

Better mix now to save time. I've learned that cutting juices, even when they are steeped, still requires additional steeping. This is especially true of tobacco flavors. BTW I can't imagine myself vaping 36mg. Some vendors don't even offer it in pre-made juices.

Just wonder how much are you cutting? And how would the flavour taste like after cutting the mg with just PG/VG?

Thanks....

Cutting 50/50. Well this is an experiment so I dont know the flavor. If I had thought more about it then I suppose I would have already done it differently. My target strength was really 12 so with that said then a 24 or 18 would have probably been more plausible. But at this time the batch is still steeping so nothing really known as of yet.

Curse of trying to save a buck and not thinking it through more.

I have some higher nic juices I bought as part of a large lot on the classifieds (I supply 2 other vapers) and since I don't want that much nic, I'm using pg /vg with some flavorings that are compatible to the premade juices and mixing it all at the same time. Some successes, some don't come out as planned, put all quite vapable. All part of the fun! My supplies should go on for a long time! I don't know your flavor profile, but a few basic flavorings that mix with many things might be the creams, custards, caramels, sugar cookie, cake...you could pick up say four or five flavors (from ecig express for instance) quite affordably...

Penstyle, you should do it like SuesandCootie, instead of just water down with PG/VG, use some flavour also in your PG/VG also.

But "All is part of the FUN".

If you have a 36mg/ml Retail e-Liquid and want to make it 18mg/ml with no Flavor , the Easiest way is to buy some 0mg/ml e-Liquid in the Same Flavor.

And then Mix it 1 to 1.

So you have 36mg with a double flavor shot (200%). If you mix down by half you'll have 18mg 100% flavor shot. If you cut it into thirds then you will have 12mg and 66.33% flavor shot. If your going to do it, do it now then steep. If your unsure take 5mls of the original and experiment.

example take 5mls add 5mls and taste
example take 5mls add 7.5ml and taste.
