Quick Question about Nicotine and PG/VG

[lisa2276]

I just started mixing my own juice, and I bought my nicotine (36mg, 100%PG) juice from MyFreedomSmokes.com. I usually order my juices at 60/40 or 70/30 because I find PG to be irritating to my throat and nasal passages. Is is better to order my nicotine juice in 100%VG or 50/50 PG&VG and then add the additional VG to make it 70%VG and 30% PG? How does everyone else do it? I have calculators for juice mixing, but they don't show too many options for adjusting PG/VG.

i buy mine with all VG and then add just a little PG if i have to. Most flavours seem to be in PG too. I like a 70/30 too but i find measuring PG easier to add because it's thinner.

Thanks, I finally got it. I was putting in too much info instead of just putting in my target PG/VG and ratio of the nicotine and carrier.

If you want your juice to be 70% VG, I would order my Nic In 100% VG (That's also the way I order my Nic). Since your flavors are going to be normally all PG and if you use 10% or more of flavors, that's going to use up 10% or more of your total of 30% PG with flavors alone.

You didn't mention at what Nic mg you were shooting for in your finished juice, but if it's 18mg, that's going to be 50% of your juice right there using 36mg Nic concentrate.

If you let us know what Nic mg you prefer to vape at, we can tell you for sure how you should order your Nic.

Hope that isn't confusing - Good luck with your DIY

Cheers,
Steve

I buy my nic 50/50, that way I can adjust it easily. The best ejuice calc I found is this The latest version is in the OPs sig

Thanks, I like to go between 18 and 24 and I bought the 36 mg nic juice. I'm probably getting about 18 mg mixed, I probably should have ordered the 48mg nic instead so it would be easier to dilute to 24. I'm shooting for a 70/30 VG/PG mix at 18mg strength, but I know that a lot of VG mutes the flavor so I add a few more drops of flavoring after its mixed.

Thanks,
Lisa

Your best bet is to buy 48mg 100% VG nic and mix it with your PG nic. 35ml of VG nic and 15ml PG nic will give you 50ml 44.4mg 30/70 (PG/VG). You can use this as your base and if you simply use 50/50 doublers, you'll get a 22mg 30/70 mix which is close to the 24mg you wanted.

Thanks, that seems like a pretty easy way to do it.

Let me ask if this is right: I take the 250ml of 100mg/100%pg and cut it with 250ml of VG I would end up with 500 ml of 50mg 50Pg/50VG??
