percentage of flavor to use

[Wrainn]

Hi, I am new to diy and am trying to mix some geoffs blend from TV. I ordered 4oz doubler of geoffs blend and I have 48mg of unflavored nic juice. My question is, how do you know what percentage of flavor to use when mixing? Is there a guide to this. I am using the e juice calculator and am not sure what percentage of flavor to plug in there. My geoffs blend is all PG and my nic is pg base...Any help would be appreciated

OK, there is some confusion here and I will see if I can clear it up.

Geoff's blends are juice, not flavoring. His doublers are 0mg juice. Typically they are mixed with his nicotine containing juice to make custom nic levels so you don't drop the flavor level down with you nicotine level.

Now if you want to use unflavored 48mg base, basically think of the doubler as 0mg base and mix to the nic level you need. Most likely the taste will be very light unless you vape a very low nic level. (At 24mg final mix it would half unflavored and half flavored juice, and that's pretty slight on flavoring.)

Flavoring is concentrated and a 4 ounce bottle would last, even a heavy mixer like me, quite awhile. Flavoring is used from 2% to 30%. (I include this even though you do not have flavoring.)

This is how you want to enter it. Ive done the same with doublers.

With the e-juice me up calculator I would enter yours like this..

Nic Strength E-Juice PG 100% VG 0% 48 MG (your nic juice)
Target nicotine strength (whatever you want it to be) I used 18mg
Amount to Make (whatever you want to make) I used 10ml

At the bottom half enter...
PG 100% (your Doubler)
VG 0% (since you do not specify if you want to add any VG)

Press Calculate

With the settings above my results are as follows..
Nicotine Juice 3.75ml
PG 6.25ml (Doubler)

Since your PG has flavor in it, leave the Flavor sections at 0% as you wont be adding any.
Note: The higher nic mg you are wanting to end up with, the more your Doubler flavor will be diluted.
I use 60mg/ml nic juice and add enough for 12mg in 10ml and I do not lose much Doubler Flavor.
Your mileage will vary using 48mg nic.

I've tried geoff's blend and i can tell you i think its cinnamon, banana, and brandy. Most likely flavorings from Lorann's. So you might be able to get a close approximation on the taste for your unflavored nic juice so when you add your doubler you dont loose a whole lot of flavor.

I want to thank you all for your replies. When I ordered the doublers, I did not understand how it all worked. I talked with a friend who explained it to me, as you all have done in these post and I was able to have my order changed. TV has very good customer service and thank goodness for that or I would be sitting here with 4oz of geoffs blend mixed down with probably very little taste.

Again, thank you all!!!

I might have to try that one day.

I mix my doublers 60ml at a time, with 30mg per ml nic juice.
30ml doubler(flavoring) with 30ml nic juice comes out to be 18% nic, with excellent flavoring. I like my nic to be as 1:1(mg:ml) or 2:1 as I can get it for easy math & mixing.
