I mix my base a bit heavy on nic and a tad light on PG, since the flavors, in PG, will bring that up a bit, and the nic down. Works for me, at an 18 mg/ml target, base mixed at 20. If your target is a low nic %, it might not be acceptable. Or might :)

    I guess it’s how much you want to keep with your target. For me at 6mg it doesn’t matter if I’m a little more or less, but that’s me.

    I suspect you're right on that, Borno, close enough ;)

    For me, at 18, if it's 16 or 19, not a big difference. I do wonder if that strategy would be ok if the target was really low, say 3. A bigger relative change when that low. But maybe :)

    I ended up adding a little FLV pink guava (grapefruit) to my MB big watermelon and FA pomegranate ice cream 10ml mix. The big watermelon was just too sweet for me. Grapefruit fixed it. Next time I'll use FA watermelon instead.

    Yes, I found the MB sweet also.

    Oh thank God.

    I can't get a recipe to post. I've tried posting a photo. That didn't work. I've tried attaching a file. That didn't work.

    Thanks in advance for your help.
    It did work. The recipe you posted showed up for a very short time. Then, gone.

    If you drag and drop the photo into where it says "Write your reply..." (below) you will see the following:

    If you want your photo to show up inline with your message click on the "Full Image" button. If you want it to show up as a thumbnail, yep, click "Thumbnail".

    Then click on "Post Reply" like you would for posting any other message.

    Hope that helps. :)

    Somewhere between here and there
    As I'm having to go into more DIY, do most mix their base a bit heavy on nik to make up for dilution from flavorings, or not worry about it? :smokie:

    I do. If I want to come out around 12 then I mix my base at 15.

    It shouldn't make that much difference as long as you're not using a huge amount of flavouring but most recipe sites have a use ready made base option which will tell you how much to put in.

    Funny if pink guava is tart because when I smelt it I was convinced it smelt sweet?
