Newbie DIY question #3! Plan of Action! Advise please...

[Ralikar]

Okay, I think I'm gonna try some DIY at Wizard's Lab!

Goal: Make a simple recipe daily vape-- 1-4 basic flavors.

Problem: Seems like Chinese juices tears up my sinuses for some unknown reason. Currently vape Johnson Creek which is mostly (unknown %) PG and seems to agree with me.

Plan:

1) buy 3 60ml nic juices from WL (only $5 each). A 90/10... 80/20... 70/30... Vape all three and see which seems to agree with my sinuses. Rather than making my own, this will be a set WL formula so I can just reorder the same one later for simplicity sake.

2) Buy 6-7 simple flavors.

3) Take the juice from #1 and try to make a few good daily vapes just using the basic core flavors--blueberry, etc.

4) Get formula.

5) Reorder the nic juice in the exact PG/VG ratio I deem appropriate to my sinuses, toss in the % of simple flavor I discovered and Mix up a cheap and simple daily vape.

Sound reasonable? TY!

It does. You're getting the nicotine in the strength you vape or your diluting it with pg/vg?

I tried to find info on the pg/vg ratio of Johnsons Creek but didn't find any info. I did find this thread although it's a bit old.

I DIY some and also purchase some. It definitely save money if you can at least DIY some of your e-liquid. Hope you find a recipe you like. There is a bit of trial and error involved.

Good luck!

I cut my nic base in half and use pg, vg to cut it with... Saves even more money.
You do have a solid plan, and it should work out. DIY is fun.

Even your basic Flavors like blueberry etc normally can take a drop or two of a different flavor to really bring it out. Which is where the fun starts lol.

sounds good, but I would suggest 70/30, 60/40 and 50/50, all PG/VG. The culprit is usually PG, so I wouldn't try 90/10 ... too much PG. Most flavoring are in PG, so that only increases the PG/VG ratio. Also, your nic level decreases with added flavors.
Good Luck

Ditto the idea that the culprit is most likely PG, which my body doesn't like very much so the only PG I use is in flavoring and not even all of that is PG-based.

A bunch of us here work pretty much exclusively in VG.

Per Johnson Creek their PG juice is mostly PG as in not much VG at all. So why would PG be the culprit if I vape high PG juice now? VG makes my throat slimy ...
