my first mix, very confused

[White Stone]

We finally found a flavor that seems it will be perfect.

We have many empty bottles. VG and the flavor. But how to we mix it?

Don't want to waste supplies.

Thanks,
White Stone

Flavor Hangsen Juicy Peach, by the way. . .

put VG, flavour and nic(optional) in bottle and shake.
OK think you are more on about ratios? Flavour can be anything from around 5% to 20% depending on how strong it is and how strong you want it to be, you can use something like eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator to get the amounts but the ratio will be a bit experimental.

With Hangsen start low on your flavor percentage. Their flavorings are pretty strong. I'd start at maybe 2% and move up from there if needed. Get you a good ejuice calculator. All you have to do is input the ingredients you have and what you want to end up with. It will do the rest. Then mix and enjoy. Good Luck

Never used Hangsen so I'd have to go with this not my 5% starting point. 2% wouldn't be good for my "that's about the right amount" measuring.

1 thing to add though, if you want to reproduce the same thing again and again you will need to keep notes on what you did....I don't bother as I'm happy with my hit and miss approach it adds a bit of excitement as you never know what your going to get.

Not adding nic, so I guess I will start low, make notes, test and repeat until I get the flavor we want.

I could happily live with hit or miss but my husband doesn't like experimenting.

I will report back when we get it sorted out. Hoping that will be sooner rather than later.

Thank you ALL for your replies. I love this forum & sub-forum.

Here is the site I use and I love their calculators. Do It Yourself E-Liquid (E-Juice) Recipe Mixing Station!

I always recommend first mixing a small tester batch. 5ml - 10ml is what I use if I am not sure. Also, I know you probably already know this but, keep very good notes on what you have done so replication will be easier. It took me while to learn that one.

Most important. . . have fun.

The best place to start is by doing some research. Let me recommend

My blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice.

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

Then read hoosier's blogs. These blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives.

E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

Then read Boletus's blog's. These blogs concentrate on formulation of nicotine baces regarding proper calculations methods for figuring Nicotine concentration as well as safety.

E-Cigarette Forum - Boletus - Blogs

Then read Ginger's book "E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid". It is a book which I've contributed to that delivers an in depth easy to follow guide in the art of DYI.

E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid

I recommend viewing VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety and bookmark it for future reference. It explains safety in all aspects of DYI.

VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

Besides figuring out your flavor percentage, you want to think about your VG/PG percentage. You only mentioned VG.
All VG won't be the optimal path to flavor.
If you were thinking of using all VG, and it's your first experiment, you might want to consider 70 VG / 30 PG instead.
