Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

No, but it carries the flavors better, and maybe it carries some flavors better than others?

I see what you mean now but I was mixing 50/50 just a short time ago.

Before or after you started using more fruits?

That's what i've been mixing with (50/50) Just used it up the other day.

 

[FranC]

My 3-4 newest mixes have the 25/75 base.

 

[FranC]

My flavor testers are mixed with the new base mix too.

So you don't know yet if the new base makes a difference? I think DavidOck has an equally valid point. Maybe try 40/60. When you get the peg mix 3 different testers of various bases but use the same fruit in all 3 at the same percentage .

Good idea. Now what would you suggest for the 3 bases??

 

[Letitia]

Well pick one of the fruits you've already mixed with the new base, then mix a 40pg/60vg and a 60pg/20peg/20vg.

I'm just not getting this though my head. Why would I want to lower pg?

To help lower vg in the mix. remember vg is sweet. PG,PEG is not sweet at all.


eta...I did it again......not reading all post before posting myself.....sorry for the duplicate info.

 

[Letitia]

All this talking about pg is making me itch. Off to try to walk my Em. Have a feeling she'll be walking me tonight.

I absolutely do give up some flavor with my base but pg doesn't work well for me and dw alleviates my heavy lung feeling. I tried PEG 20% and kept dw 3% and juice tasted good but was too loose for my tastes. Tried just PEG at various % and with dw at various %, just can't find a happy vape place using it. Some of my pg issues have shown back up at a lesser degree as well. Have no clue what to make of that because my pg from flavors has dropped considerably over the last few months. I'm guessing I'm just going to have to arrange my mixing to allow for long steeps. I do get as bright a flavor with max vg it just takes much longer to bloom. One of the reasons I've been collecting super concentrates, shorter steep less pg. Same with moving to higher mg salts, less pg.

Wow have no idea how this post became so long, apologies.

I have a challenge for you and anybody else that is willing to try it. Pick a simple recipe such as a berry mix (something simple like forest fruit) and mix it at max VG and another of the exact same but do 50/50 pg/vg or PEG/vg. You can give the max vg a head start if you want. Try them at the exact same wattage with the same coil. Im willing to bet the 50/50 has a cleaner,brighter flavor. I did this a couple years ago over a month long test. This is why I went in search of a pg substitute

I'm not willing to try. 80%+ VG, 10%DW, 11%- flavor works for me. PEG 3350 doesn't make me feel any better than PG did, I'm not risking PEG 400.
I don't doubt it's a better flavor.

There is no way I would ever return to 50/50 period. I might agree to a 75vg/25 peg but betting I would prefer the vg/dw vape regardless of flavor. I can mix to my mav vg preferences.

 

[Myk]

I can mix to my mav vg preferences.

I figure my recipes may not be good to someone using PG. It's also why I only use other people's recipes as a rough idea.

I've only followed one recipe to the letter. I always adapt. Am going to try dc99 apple recipe % tho, just not the sweetener. While I find the VTA sugar cane acceptable it isn't my go to.

Will do.

Max vg has no flavor carrier (pg) so a 50/50 mix would have to be a brighter flavor.

A couple tobacco blends on the agenda for today if I can manege that........

 

[FranC]

I thought I had plenty of steeping patience but I think I've lost it. Really want to try my newer mixes and flavor testers......but I won't. May try a couple testers fresh though.

 

[FranC]

May do a testers on the Dairy Milk
