Please Help with %

[405Brad654]

So I made a mistake. I decided I was going to do a 50/50 mix and make several flavors at once. I mixed the PG and VG 50/50 first and thought that I was going to come back and add nic and flavors. I forgot that the E-juice me up calculator added in the nic and flavoring to determine the final ratio.
I have several 50ml of 50/50 premix how do I go about adding flavors at 10, 15 and 20%
Also how would I go about adding nic in 6 and 12mg per ml strengh?

Please help me!

Depends on your nic, and flavorings.

Is the nic pg, or vg, or mix based?

Are the flavorings pg, vg, or alcohol based?

 

[405Brad654]

The nic is 100mg/ ml pg
The flavorings are of different content.

I say the flavorings are different because im making about 50+ flavors and they are different. All from WL

Okay, I don't know the exact amount needed of nic base and flavorings (depending on the strength and % desired), but, I do believe the only way to preserve that premix of 50/50 is to raise the total amount of finished product. By this I mean, you'll no longer have 50ml bottles, especially with the 20% flavoring bottles. 20% of a 50ml finished product is 10mls of that total 50. And that's not even including the nic.

Well, actually, I guess I didn't think of it (I am tired )... but I guess you could take some premixed fluid out of the bottles, and then add in desired ingredients to get the total finished product desired.

For example: Right now you have a 50ml bottle of 50/50, with no flavoring or nicotine, right? Let's say that you want to make that bottle a 12mg, 50/50, with 10% flavoring.

Now, let's say that all of your flavorings were pg based, and you have that 100mg/ml nic base, all pg as well.

Pretend for a moment that we're starting from fresh. You'd need 6mls of that nic base to get 12mg in a 50ml bottle, and 5mls of flavoring for 10%, right? Okay, so that's 11mls (and they're both pg)... so, if I think I am right, you would need to remove 22mls from the premixed 50/50 blend, add the 6mls of nic base, the 5 mls of flavoring, and 11mls of straight VG.

This way, you'll be back 50mls, retained the 50/50 blend, 12mg, 10% flavored of e-liquid.

Phew! That takes a lot when you're tired, lol.

Edit: This will, of course, vary depending on the end nic strength, and flavoring %. Not to mention if the flavoring is based in anything other than pg. But, do you see what I did so that you may do so in the future for any desired end results? I can't tell if I explained it good.

You are making 50 diff flavors?......well its simple enough ..when you add flavor and nic to whatever size batch you are making you have to add the exact amout of vg to keep it at 50/50

 

[Levitas]

Okay, an easier way to look at it: Pop up the mixing calculator, enter what your desired finished product will be.

Example: This is the recipe for a 6mg, 50/50, 10% flavoring in 50mls. (Link to calculator: E-Juice / E-Liquid Calculator)




So, all you would have to do is add the total amount of nic base with the total amount of flavoring (3+5 = 8mls). Now, we know that both of these (the nic base, and the flavoring) are both PG, so, in order to keep the 50/50 balance, remove 16mls from your pre-mix, and set it aside for future mixes.

Then, add the above 8mls (flavoring and nic base), along with 8mls of straight VG. Voila.

Or, to add to the help, is the PG/VG ratio that critical?

If it is 65/35 does your equipment stop working? Would it hinder you breathing?

If it's not that critical, stop worrying about it. I know I stopped worrying about the final PG/VG ratio a couple of years ago and it's been great.

 

[Levitas]

I was thinking that at first too, Hoosier. But, OP says he has numerous bottles already premixed, over 50 flavors, and has a supplier status. It's an assumption, but, I figured this was for distribution

However, if it's not, I agree!

 

[Hoosier]

I saw unreg'd there and figured it was a flash-in-the-pan. It's pretty rare for unreg's to come back here with full supplier status.

That, and I really, really hope that it was for personal use. (Maybe hope so hard that it seems impossible to see any other aspect.) A vendor mixing and selling that doesn't understand the math and process is the last thing we need.
