Edit: How long should I steep it, and is it best to steep before or after I do my mixes, if I do steep ?

For your menthol mixes, little to no steeping time is needed in my experience. Menthol is pretty much a mix and vape formula for me.

I'm getting ahead of myself a bit, I know. I haven't even received my RTS order yet but am afraid it might be too wimpy of a juice, even at 36mg/ml PG base (I vape at 6mg/ml 50/50 base) for the "Throat Sensation" that I want, so was wondering if I could mix it with some of my 18mg/ml 50/50 MBV to bring UP the "Throat Sensation" but mix it down to my 6mg/ml @ 50/50 or even 70 PG/30 VG ?
Talk about diving right in ? I only want to go Unflavored, maybe with Menthol added sometimes, but No other flavorings. Whatdoyouthink ? Oh, I will mix up a very small batch of RTS @ 6mg/ml just to try at first before any of the above shenanigans are started and I burn the house down and kill the cat. I've got the latest "Juice me up" on my desktop now, but wondered if ya'll thought it even feasible for me to try ?

You certainly could do so if you wanted.

You may find that rts is better than mbv. Your idea of a good th and mine may be two different things. I don't know what mbv nic is like but I know rts is good for a vape and was good enough for me..

Mix the rts... vape it up, rts does have good th, so dont let me saying its clean throw you too much, it seems to hold a decent th for a clean nic, you may find it sufficient.

Enjoy the subtleties that different nics have if your going unflavored.. Different nics are your different flavors.

Roger ! I was re-reading from post #1 in this thread (my retention skills SUCK) and just got to wondering, I don't want Wimpy juice that's all. When I smoked Cigars, I inhaled every drag and Not like the college kids "puff", that's where I come from anyways, but I intend to mix a small batch First of RTS just to see. My idea of good "Throat Sensation" is a "peppery and rough contraction" throat sensation. Anyways, Noted, and Thanks Jeremy.

A lot has changed since this thread started. Nic has evolved. Also you only got a small bottle so your not very divested.

Yep, It will be interesting, MBV vs RTS. I WILL report back on my findings too as ya'll gave me the blue print to do that in this thread. Thanks again. :)

I picked up two liters of RTS 100mg nic about a year ago during a promo for $78, sort of a cheap safety net, but haven't used it yet. Looking forward to seeing your results!

:evil:2 Liters of 100mg nic ?? :vapor: Boy Howdy, How long do you think THAT will last you ? :vapor:

I mean when you get to mixing it into juice, not for storage ?? :vapor:

My wife and I currently vape 12mg, about 15ml/day combined. Diluting to 12mg ends up at about 8 liters of liquid per liter of 100mg. 16 liters of 12mg liquid should carry us for about three years, as we use about 5500ml/year. If we drop our nic, we can of course stretch that out a bit. We won't need that nic for another year based on other stock, and if things keep moving in the FDA's direction, there will be a few more liters hitting the freezer. Cheap insurance, and two year old nic from the freezer has been turning out great.

I got my RTS 36 nic 100% PG and their PG and VG glycerin's, all in 60ml bottles today. I mixed up 12ml of 6mg/ml in a 17ml dark plastic dripper bottle and am dying to try it, but will let it steep for a time (How long do ya'll think ??) and vigorously shake the S... out of it periodically (after which I will TRY to do a smell comparison before I load up my RTA's for a vape) . I plan to set up 2 Lemo V2's Identical and use MBV 6mg/ml (about 2 months old pre-mix) in one and RTS 6mg/ml in the other (both Unflavored and both mixed to 50/50).

Edit: I just remembered that I ALSO have 2 Magma's I can Drip with. That's a maybe for comparisons purpose.
