I can't seem to find the answer to my question and hope someone can set it straight for me. I want to buy e-liquid but want to know if I can buy e-liquid already mixed and ready to refill? I've watched the videos of how to mix it with glycerin but on the website of a place called Tasty something I seen something called doublers. Is this already mixed and ready to refill your cart?

If you were to buy something called Vanilla 18mg e-liquid, that would be a ready to use e-liquid, you just fill up your cartridge with it.

The doublers on the Tasty Vapor site are flavored no nicotine liquids. They are used to cut a high nicotine liquid down (say from 24 mg to 12 mg nicotine level) without losing flavor. If you were to cut a 24 mg liquid down to 12 mg you might make your liquid taste like nothing. The doublers help prevent that. Of course, if you don't want any nicotine you can vape the doublers straight. Geoff's liquids are very tasty and he's a great guy to boot, very helpful.

Thank you, now I'm getting somewhere. How can I tell the difference between an e-liquid that has nicotine and is ready to fill my cartridge to e-liquid that has to be mixed? Again, thank you. For instance on the Tasty Vapor site, if I wanted to order the Atomic Fireball it gives me the option for % of PG and nicotine strength. So is this a ready to use e-liquid? Is PG and VG just the vapor? If I wanted 36mg nicotine I'm not sure what % of PG to get and am confused about adding VG. 8-o

In your atomic fireball example, the nicotine level is just what it says... order the strength you are comfortable with.. 12, 24, 36, etc.

The % part of this is just as easy really, do you want any VG in your liquid? VG gives more vapor and makes vaping more like smoking to me, just my experience. I forget what his drop down box says, but you could go for something like 70% PG and 30% VG, Geoff then mixes it all together for you and you get one bottle that you can use to fill your cartridges with.

Most e-liquids are ready to use, you shouldn't have to mix anything at all. You can tell how much nicotine is in it by how it is listed. The listing should say something like 12mg Vanilla or 18mg Marlboro.

a site will say for instance : blueberry pg 36mg (that is premixed pg BASE ready to go stuff)
OR: mocha VG 10mg ( premixed ready to go VG base with lower nicotine strength)

Pg is propylene glycol ... VG is vegetable glycerin

I prefer VG base..maybe order a small bottle of pg base liquid and one of Vg base liquid to see which one you prefer

Hi Framwife

there is 3 parts to any eliquid.

1. there is nicotine
2. there is a flavor
3. there is either and/or VG or PG as the base.

when you add all 3 ingredients together you get something ready to refill with.

when they ask for PG % or VG% there are wanting to know from you, do you want the juice to be PG based or VG based or a mixture of both.

as some people are alergic to PG you can get VG added which will reduce the PG and also give you more vapor as VG produces very good vapor but less throat hit..
