Question on VG mixing

I don't have any experience on mixing juices (hopefully someone can chime in on that department) but my first thought is, did you get a receipt of your order e-mailed to you, that way you can go back and see if it was your mistake in ordering or the vendor's mistake? If it's the vendor's mistake, you should contact them and have them replace it asap! Higher PG bothers me too. Just a thought.
I checked the order 5 times before sending it out and 3 times before it arrived and it was the right vg/pg ratio but when it arrived the receipt had it the way it came. I went online and checked the order status and they had changed the ratio in there too. I'm assuming they changed it when they realized they had goofed up the order. I wouldn't mind if I hadn't checked so many times to make sure the order was right, I would have assumed I had made a mistake but I'm so OCD I checked so many times I know I had the right ratio down.
I placed an order last week for 80vg-20pg juice and when I received it they had reversed the order I now have 80pg-20vg. I have a slight allergy to PG so can I go to drug store and buy some VG and add to juice to cut down on PG? If so how much should I add? I have 2 30ml bottles that were wrong.
1. Yes, you can. Look for USP grade VG in your local drug store or the pharmacy section at your favorite retailer, they usually carry it in small bottles.
2. Depends what ratio you're looking for. If you "make" 60 ml out of one bottle that's 80/20 PG/VG, you'll be at a ratio of 40/60 PG/VG, but keep in mind that your flavor and your nicotine will be cut in half.
If you're looking to get to the 20/80 PG/VG ratio, you'll need to add 90 ml of VG and make a total of 120 ml for that ratio, but that will be seriously diluted in the flavor department, and your nic will be cut to a quarter of your original purchase.

Even if it was your mistake, you might be able to work out some sort of deal with the vendor to get a replacement bottle of juice. Especially considering you have a sensitivity to PG.
Also it helps that you've ordered from them before, with a specific VG/PG mix (right?) so that you can say "Hey, it's an obvious mistake because I usually order this." If they're a good vendor, they'll be willing to work out some deal.

Nope, I tried that. This was the first time ordering from them. I usually get my juice from a local B&M but they couldn't tell me that their juice was diacetyl free and after reading about the dangers I was trying to play it safe. The online vendor told me they didn't even have a higher VG blend which they did when I ordered but now when I go online it's NOT a choice.
It doesn't matter to much on the nic cut because I ordered one 6 and one 0 nic but the flavor????? Could I buy some cinnamon at the grocery store and add to the apple pie to make it have some taste? The other was strawberry shortcake...don't know what to do about that????
That's a tough one, not knowing what flavorings and ratios the vendor used.
I'll say that generally speaking, grocery store flavorings are not recommended for use in vaping. You can always pick up a few small bottles of flavorings that are close in nature to the flavors in the e-liquid you have.
If you're going to do that, you might as well just be mixing your own batches to begin with. The hardest part about mixing flavors is ratios and balancing the flavors. Its like any other culinary thing.
Really, I see little point in trying to fix a 80/20 PG VG juice to get the VG ratio to a point thats tolerable for you. You're just going to ruin the juice. I'd suggest just either trying to work something out with the vendor, or giving those juices to one of your friends. You're just going to ruin the flavors if you add enough VG to make it tolerable to you, and you obviously shouldn't be vaping it as is if you truly have an allergy to PG.
You should put the mistakes up for swapping with something else. => http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-please-read-first-post-rules-guidelines.html
