Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Morning, mixers.

Other than some blustery winds, not much rain here yesterday. A little overnight, and the claim is the first of two storms will roll in today. Hope so!

Good morning, David. I hope you get the storms you want.

I don’t really do naps. I might take a nap once or twice a year and when I do it’s always 3-4 hours. I wish I could just lie down and sleep for a short time.

Then I guess you don't need to nap then.

I started using the cookie crack butter recipe and I swear I keep tasting lemon but there’s none in the recipe.

That's very weird.

3ml of 100mg should put you at 16.1mg

The second one is going to take 7ml of 100mg which will put you at 12.1 Both will throw off your pg/vg percentage.

Thanks for this. It was easier for me to ask, than try to figure out. I want to test their potency. I'll break the numbers down for 30ml bottles.

I still need to order VG, PG, and Flavors for Menthol juice, and the scale. I have a supply of 60ml & 120ml Gorilla Bottles.

A rough calculation here using my mixing spreadsheet for mixing base. For your 2] mix because the numbers are easier.

If I wanted to mix 100mls of 6mg base I would include 6mls of your nic with 94mls of VG/PG. To make it at 12mg would take 12mls of nic. So adding 6mls of your nic would give you approximately what you are looking for.

It would be 106 mls rather than 100 so the nic wouldn't end up being exactly 12mg, it would be a little lower. The ratio of VG to PG would be slightly different. And the % of flavoring would be slightly lower. The differences would be small enough that I don't think it would be noticeable.

Doing the same calcs for your first mix it should take 2.4 mls of your nic to increase it from 12mg to 16mg.

I could figure out exact numbers for you to end up with the exact level of nic you want but that would mean building a new spreadsheet. And the PG/VG ratio and flavor % would still change a little.

Given that you don't want to mess up with nic% you should probably wait for someone else to confirm the numbers.


Edit - Hitt got there before me and came up with around the same numbers so you should be good.

Thank-you for taking the time to run the numbers. My wanting to sort it, was confusing.

I think it's time I start sitting at my desktop for doing this.

Still hating the time change. I can’t remember how to set the clock on our new microwave. All other clocks are changed. I need to get off my behind and go look through some more boxes.

I mixed this for the first time 15 days ago. I still have 7 more days to steep but I may not hold out that long. I could break weak and give it a little test today.

This morning my mind was normal time, as I was on my phone. The change in time was...OK, time to change. Maybe tomorrow.
Our pets, they were rambunctious and ready for breakfast. They were getting a little pushy. Literally. Some of them will nudge me with their front feet (hands) very persistently....lol. I finally got up and headed for their food...as they were almost tripping me...pushing me along.

This time change needs to go away already.

Mine is right at a month steeped. It’s pretty good. More use will tell if it will be in my regular rotation. I could see adding lemon or raspberry to it.

Good luck.

Previously the (2nd one) Daze Glacial Mint (6mg) had an ice chilling throat hit, almost like speed-eating a slushie. Overpowering to me.

Since adding 7ml of 100mg/ml Nic, it's toned the throat hit down. Flavor-wise, it muted the flavor a little, but very nice on the palette. Mine anyway.

I got through two more boxes of gear so far today. The problem is that the keep pile is growing faster than the sell pile.

Hopefully that will change soon.

I don’t want to sell individual items for the most part. I’m going to try to do groupings of similar items if I can. I don’t want to have to ship a ton of packages.

Understandable. You might be surprised at my bundling, dependent on selection.

That's understandable. Wishing good luck on selling stuff.
