speeding up the mixing process

[sparkyth67]

I make all my mixes 60/40 24mg I was thinking of taking my 100mg nicotine and cutting it all down to 25 mg @ 60/40 then basically all I would have to do is add whatever percentage flavor to it does anyone else do anything similar to this and if so how does it work out for you

Although it could save me a few bucks, I don't bother with 100mg nic liquid. I just buy 24mg and add flavors so I don't have to bother with the extra step. Depending on flavoring percentage, I end up with something between 18 and 22mg. I'm not fussy about the nicotine level so this method works for me.

Absolutely.

I call it making "Pre-Mix". It has a Lot of Advantages. Like not having to Handle 100mg Every Time. And not having to Wash a bunch of stuff whenever you make 30ml of Finish e-liquids.

I did the Math one time for a Vendor I get my Nicotine Base from. By the time I added the cost of Buying PG and VG to Dilute the 100mg Nicotine Base down to a mg that I could vape, the cost of just buying 24mg or 18mg Wasn't that much different.

And as you mentioned, it is a Whole Lot Easier.

you could use mix it down to 50mg and still leave yourself plenty of wiggle room in the mix

that would be ok if all I wanted was to avoid handling 100mg but it still leaves the extra steps of measuring everything instead of just the flavoring

Making a Unflavored "Pre-Mix" works Great if a person Always uses the Same PG:VG ratio and uses the Same mg Level.

Just add Flavoring/Sweetener and go.

But making Pre-Mix doesn't work well if a person uses Different PG:VG/mg ratios.

I have found this process pretty easy for me, so I don't have to handle the nicotine each time and it is easier for me to measure at larger numbers.

I get 60mg Nic and combine it with PG/VG to get it down around 12MG. I leave 10% of PG out, for flavoring wiggle room.

For example, I do a 50PG/50VG mix and store in a 60ML bottle. I will then add:
30ml VG
12ml PG
12ml PG with Nicotine
That makes 54ML and leaves me 10% room for flavoring which is PG based.

I will then usually make juices in 10 ML increments, which means I will measure 9ML from my base bottle and then add flavorings around 10%. If I add more flavoring than 10%, it will cut my nicotine below 12MG but I'm not that particular as long as I'm around 12-6MG
