Yes I have problems too. That's why I was interested in SMT's recipe.....it's been steeping since 06/19 :D
Steeping since 6/19? ~11 weeks. :shock: It's ready Charlie. :thumb: Hope you like it. I look forward to hearing your feedback. :)

I mostly go grocery shopping in the off hours. That way I don't run into any kind of crowds. Most of the grocery stores around here are open 24 hours. In the super early mornings there is rarely more than a handful of people shopping in a warehouse sized store. Plenty of distance between people and I always mask up. I don't like the idea of a stranger picking out my produce and whatnots. I'm pretty fussy with my fruits and veggies.
We're fussy about our fruits and vegs too and we go to a separate bio supermarket for that, which is generally super empty and it's a huge space too. The online order is just for the other essential stuff that you need....not much fresh stuff and never veg.

Well you did say the longer the better....should be nice and mellow!!
Nicely mellowed in lovely southern France. Hmmm... probably taste better being steeped so close to the Mediterranean. ;) :D

    I got almost everything off my shelf in the garage and put into the new organizer drawers. I forgot to check for the height of my mods with tanks installed so I still have a box with the too tall setups but it definitely looks much better.

    How complicated is this ???

    I have one liter of 60/40 {vg/pg} base with 1.5 nicotine pre mixed.

    I want to change the mixture to 80/20 {vg/pg} still keeping it at 1.5 mg nicotine. I have a bottle of 100mg nicotine in a 100% pg base and a bottle of 100% vg. I also want to add strawberry and watermelon favors trying to duplicate a flavor called "strawberry-waterfelon" that I have from the now defunct Vapewild.

    How much vg and nicotine must be added? How much flavor is recommended? Any particular brand of flavors recommended?

    THANKS !

    Assuming you’re wanting to change the whole liter, this is what I did on elr. I can’t really say on the flavor amount to use.

    Hello,

    My best guessimate is make a liter of 1.5 mg nicotine with nothing but VG. The small amount of pg should not have a noticeable effect overall.

    To make the max vg liter add 15ml of your 100mg nicotine to 985 ml VG. Then divide this liter in half and add half of your other mix of 60/40 vg/pg to get it as close as anyone can to your request.
    So your end result will be 2 liters of 1.5mg of 80/20 vg/pg.

    Hope this helps and you have enough liter bottles...LOL or use whatever sizes you have just know its a lot of mixed base when finished and that liters are considered to be 1000ml each.

    :)

    lol Hittman types faster than me.....tho that doesn't take into account his first liter he wanted to change.

    Let me ask the question in a simpler way so I might better understand the answer.

    1. How much VG do I need to add to my 1 liter bottle of 60/40 {vg/pg} to change it to 80/20 {vg/pg}?
    2. Now the original mixture was at 1.5 nicotine - Now that I've added the VG, how much more of my 100mg base nicotine must be added to get the total new mix to still have a 1.5 nicotine strength?
    3. How much of those small bottles of flavors you get from say Bull City do you need {approximately} ?

    3. How much of those small bottles of flavors you get from say Bull City do you need {approximately} ?

    The easiest way is the way I already answered in my last posting. And the simpliest. You can take your 2nd bottle of the newly mixed base and have it stored in freezer for future use. Trying to change a vg/pg mixture, and keep the same 1.5mg you are going to end up with more than a whole liter anyway. There is no getting around it. Doing it the way I suggest you would end up with 2 liters of 80/20 vg/pg at 1.5mg. Isn't that what you wanted? You would have to end up diluting the 100mg in the future anyway.
    Let me give an example...

    To increase a vg/pg mixture you are diluting the mg(which you already know). There is not enough room in that 1 liter to make the change so using 2- 1 liter bottles is the only way. Unless you want smaller amounts but the process is still the same as answered.

    About the flavoring... Do you have a recipe for what you are tying to make?

    there is no change in mg when adding the two together....

    Try reading thru Sugar’s reply again. I find that usually works for me.

    My favorite, and I bought a batch of them when Vapeswild went out of business last year was called
    {Strawberry Waterfelon} which I believe is a mixture of Strawberry and Watermelon and I bought in the 80/20 mixture because they were sold out of to the 65/35 - At any rate I found the 80/20 smoother and have no problems with usage in my refillable pod devices.

    I had forgot to mention that the mg will remain at 1.5 when the two halves are mixed together......I edited my last post to you to say that(but wanted to make sure you saw this so.......)

    I will see if I can find a recipe for Strawberry Waterfelon. Are there any other flavoring you can taste in the mix?

    :)

    Also buying 10ml bottles to flavor that much juice is a waste of money. 30ml size makes more sense.

    To make the above for a 1000ml bottle you would use.

    Strawberry Ripe @ 20ml
    Sweet Strawberry @ 20ml
    Watermelon @ 30ml
    Super Sweet @ 5ml optional. I would taste first before adding any sweetner.


    If using the 2nd recipe replace the 2 strawberry's above with 4% of FA Strawberry.

    :)

    OK after doing the math and checking every which way I can,.......

    1. Need to add a total of 200ml vg+nic so.......
    2. Add 3ml of 100mg added to existing 1000 liter( so 200-3 is equal to actual vg added is 197ml to total the 200 in answer #1.
    Final answer to original question is
    197ml vg + 3ml of 100mg =200ml to be added to existing 1.5 mg 60/40 vg/pg 1000 liter.....

    Thinking maybe didn't like my first answer to your question so........here ya go.

    Afternoon. Just came back from the nursery looking at some trees and my Jeep had a weird vibration and when I slowed down there was a high pitched noise for a little bit. Wonder if I’ve got a caliper sticking or something. I was supposed to take it in for something else Wednesday but will probably take it tomorrow now.
