Morning shinies

What way round do you guys mix? I think I'm back to front, but there's a method in my madness.

VG
Nic
flavours
PG

9/10 I overpour the VG, or the nic, and this means I can balance out my stuffups by using less PG. Or if it's a major stuffup, pouring some VG back in the bottle!

I’m a chronic over pourer.
I use a graduated cylinder for the pg and vg until I get close, then a pipette. Most of my flavors are in dropper bottles so that’s pretty easy.
What I’ve been doing lately, since most of my recipes have the same % of flavor, I mix up base in bunches, 4 or 5 240ml bottles, and freeze them.

I haven’t been able to stop reading/watching this tragedy. President Zelensky is a study in leadership and courage.

I don't freeze my base. Four 240ml LDPE squeeze bottles of the stuff live in the fridge.

I don't freeze my base. Four 240ml LDPE squeeze bottles of the stuff live in the fridge.

I should leave at least one in the fridge I guess. I started doing it this way because I had more room in the freezer. My fridge I keep pretty packed.

Love your work Dolores

My mixes fall between 5% - 15% flavor total in general. Due to this if I want my pg/vg ratio to fall around 70/30 I should mix a base of 15%pg/85%vg? Won't this possibly cause nicotine levels to be stronger in some mixes?

 

[Letitia]

Honestly I haven't noticed the difference from one mix to the next regardless of flavor percentage. If you do the math the variances are negligible as far as nic strength and thick/thin ratios. Since I use salts and dw I can't offer a comparison of th from one mix to another though.

I can relate. Unfortunately, my freezer is pretty packed, too.

Yes, but you probably won't notice.

I am confused about it too Skeebs. Might be why I never did mix a base. I never know how much flavorings I will use.

Most of mine are 10-12% and I don’t notice a difference - I mix for 10%. Sometimes I have a 15% and either mix for that or not… I use 2-4 juices a day, I get my nic one way or another.

Between that, and the woman with the sunflower seeds!

 

[Territoo]

My mixes may contain between 4-10% flavor. My premix only has nicotine and PG then I top off with VG. This might throw my PG/VG ratio off, but my nicotine level is consistent.

 

[Skeebo]

Yes, but you probably won't notice.

Maybe.. Someone once put a single pea under my mattress and I noticed it.

You did an awesome job with that handbag!

I've been staying on top of what's happening too. And I totally agree with you on President Zelensky. I love the great determination and courage of the Ukraine people. My wife and in-laws were Ukrainian.

Play around with the nic strengths on ELR. You might just need to do one premix with a higher nic strength and one with it lower. Here's the differences between an 8% flavours (my current recipe) and a 15% using 8mg 20/80 premix.

Poetic license was very much used, I nuked everything that messed up my background!
