Some quick questions from an almost DIY-Newbie

[Weslocke]

I've been playing with mixes for a while now, mostly from following the recipes you guys have posted on here already.

But a few quick questions:

1) When I get a mix that tastes great when testing with my 1.8 drip atomizer, when I put it into my Vivi later the taste tends to be weaker... as well as usually 'soapy' tasting (not my word, but I agree with the person who said it). (I usually vape around 6watts, so somewhere around 3.7volts depending on the clearo)

2) My mix is usually either 70/30 or 80/20 PG/VG, with 4%-5% vodka to thin it out. What the opinion on vodka as the thinner to get a bit of TH, and is that too much for that mix?

3) And lastly, have you guys seen a 'reverse calculator'? By that I mean one that I can enter the number of drops I've used as I fiddle with the recipe, and when I'm done it give me the percentages that I ended up using?

Thanks in advance you guys!

That's why I drip. I find clearos and cartos alter taste and I vape for the flavor.

I've never used, or needed, any thinner at those PG/VG ratios. But, I've never found vodka or PGA to add to the TH as others have.

No, I haven't seen that, but it is a mildly interesting idea.
