In my first batch of DIY i think I may have wound up with too much PG cause Im getting little patches of hives! Im still getting very good vapor and the tastes seems to be the same. But I went to the DIY board and according to their math I mixed up base wrong to wind up with what I wanted. This is what I did. Nic base was 80 pg 20 VG and I mixed up a 250 ml bottle of 70 PG 30 VG base.

I usually make 30 ml bottles so that would be 5 ml of nic base 5 ml of flavoring and I would fill the rest up with my pre mixed PG VG blend.

So is there any way I could fix the bottles I already mixed up like that so I wouldn't have so much PG? Thats the only reason I can think of that Im getting these little rashes.

Sorry to hear about your DIY mishap and rashes... The only way you can "fix" the bottles that you've already made is to dilute them with VG (I would consider adding some distilled water to thin the extra VG). Of course, that will also dilute the flavor and the nic level. You can add flavoring to make up for some of that, but I wouldn't add more of your nic base since it is 80% PG.

If you are willing to place another order and wait, I would suggest ordering some VG nic base from your preferred vendor and try to balance it out that way. It will be complicated to fix it, but in the end the only thing you can do is dilute the PG in already your juice somehow...

Russian led me to drinking heavily. Happy Sunday everyone. Look for the guy wearing bill ... Murray at pro bowl. That's me.
Honestly I don't know what it is that I'm tasting from this provari at this point. All I know is the wife is outside smoking and I'm withholding...

Oz, you gotta cut out those naps man!

What's wrong with my naps now?

Just got back from the rounds... I think a nap in the near future sounds rather fantastic, thanks for the suggestion Cob :D
