My introduction to ECF

[DCxNIGHTWINGx]

Hi everyone, id like to introduce myself, i am new to this forum, I quit analogs and just started vaping a couple weeks ago, i just recieved a lavatube mini, i got some smoketek cartos a LR 306 atty, drip tip and some juice. I started by watching grimmgreen, pbusardo and vapingmonkeys videos on my xbox and decided i wanted to get into the vaping scene & get a full sized tube mod instead of my little hotvapes e-cig hardbox kit which wasnt working for me so well. I live in washington and havent been able to find anyone in my area who vapes which kinda sucks since nobody here knows what im "smoking". so shoot me a message if you live near the puget sound area im in bremerton, id like to get my 5 posts in so i can ask a question about a juice problem im having in the regular forum. glad to be here thanks everyone.

thanks guys, i ordered 3 bottles with 36mg nic content.. i had no idea that its impossible to vape that stuff i filled an entire carto with blueberry candy and it was intolerable. so i was wondering if i can just buy a bottle of the same flavor in 0mg and cut it. but since its calculated by volume or w/e i dont know if it would work, and id hate for them to go to waste. any ideas?

Absolutely, if you add equal amounts of 0 nic to 36 nic you will get 18.

You will probably be more successful cutting it with PG or VG instead of adding extra flavoring. There are calculators to help you do this.

Or 1/3 0mg with 2/3 36mg for 24mg.

You will probably be more successful cutting it with PG or VG instead of adding extra flavoring.

And the flavor will be reduced!

Calculators specifically for juice? If so can you direct me to them?

I second that

Yup. What nic strength are you trying to cut it to now?

ok, cool. id like to cut it to somthing like 11mg, maybe 18. id rather more flavor over nicotine, since i like to chainvape sometimes, and i get really hot and sweat when i get top much nic in me. so your saying i should get a bottle of pur vg or pg? i havnt seen anything like that on the web for sale?

There are a few ejuice calculators, some you can download, and some you can do online. There is even an iPhone APP. Here is one most of us DIY'ers use. eJuice me Up

By the way, I'm the queen of 36mg vapes hehe... but if I get one that is too stong, (even for me) I just decant some in another little bottle and add some VG (food grade vegetable glycerine that you can buy at the pharmacy) - to taste. The end .

If you use just pg/vg, you will lose flavor. Just cut it with the same juice, but 0 nic. If you want 18, just mix it 1:1. If you want 12, mix 1 part 36mg with 2 parts of 0mg.

Really it would be best if you got 0 nic of the same flavor. Like a iffy said it will dilute the flavor too much. Other than than that after your more fimillar with juices you can start making your own.
