Save time and pre-mix PG ,VG and maybe Nic ?

[Youmadbrah]

I see people measuring PG and VG with syringes for every small patch they make. Not to mention dealing with VG and trying to dilute it with some sort. I pre-mixed two 100 ml bottles in a 100 ml graded cylinder. I added 60 ml PG followed by 40 VG and then a 70/30 one.

Very easy and saves ton of time. Pros can also mix Nicotine if they know the recipes that work for them. (I don't). Hope this tip helps ,because u guys help a lot.

Yep. I use 120ml bottles and have labels marking the top of the VG fill line and then another label marking the fill line that the PG brings it up to.

A quick shake and pop the Walgreen's oral dosing syringe's plug in the top and I'm ready to go.

Never have put nicotine in a premix because my recipes are all over the % spectrum and my juice consumption really alters a bunch for even a 2mg difference. (If my mix is 2mg lower than my normal I consume even more nicotine than if it is at "my level")

Yes I also pre-mix my pg/vg blend. I have a 16oz bottle with fill lines for vg then pg.

This is a great idea. I've considered doing this, but just haven't gotten around to it. Thanks for the reminder, I think I'm going to make a batch of unflavored base this afternoon.

The big advantage that I see, beyond saving time, is that when you make a big batch of base liquid it will be more accurately mixed than making tiny batches over and over again.

For my own mixtures, I premix 15mg 60PG/40VG in 120ml bottles. For the small (3ml) test batches I figure that a few cents for the nic is worth it.

I have never thought about doing this but let me ask this. I like my mixes 80/20 pg/vg. So say I mixing something with 3 flavors and my pg amount changes due to flavor now I am mixing just a single flavor and yet the pg amount changes again would this still be 80/20 if I made a base then added flavor? I could just be having a blonde moment or a brain fart which ever is better but something just tells me it would change for some reason.

Yep it would change. Not by much though I mean how much flavor you putting in? 20% pg flavor would change it a bit though.

Ok so lets say I use 15% CA flavor with 80/20 mix would that make it 90/10? or better yet what if I went 70/30 then adding the 15% make it 80/20?

So what I did was made a base no nic and measuring for 15% flavor and 18mg nic meaning after I mix it, it should be 80/20 minus a little if the flavor is under 15%

In E-juice calculator you can enter target PG% . And when you click calculate it will show you how much PG/VG to add. I noticed it is + or - 1 to 2% max. So it won't be noticed to vape 78% PG instead of 80%.

Edit: Thats only when adding flavors. Haven't got my Nic. yet.

 

[Youmadbrah]

Yes I noticed adding small Nic concentration will alter the final PG% alot. Maybe I'll change my PG/VG mix into 40/60 if I plan to add nic.
