If you mix Equal Parts of Each together, you will end up around 25%PG|75%VG at 4.5mg/ml

For Me, that's a Nice Ratio and a Good mg/ml for a Subtank.

If you want to Experiment, you can Fill the tank up with the Other when you get to about 1/2 Empty on the tank. Or just Eye Ball it to add an Equal Part.
Oh that's awesome!! I will totally do that when this one is half empty, thank you I had no idea I could do that...THANK god for all of you I feel like I get a step ahead and then go backwards lol

I would stay far away from the guy who wants to sell the efests. The brown ones do look like HG2s, but the sticker is covering up the printing on the battery. Any chance you could peel it back and take a photo of the actual printing on the wrap? I use LG HGs in my RX200s. I think I have a dozen of them. THey are excellent 20A batteries. Real ones look like this:

Sorry another question, is there a max wattage with this batteries I should not go to? I am only at 25 but figure it might be good to know
On the LG batteries, 60 watts on one battery and 100 watts on 2 will keep you safe. But you only have a one battery mod, right? Stick with 60.

I really wasn't necessarily looking for more clouds, I love the flavor too but I was told that I can only put max VG in this thing, ...

That is Utter Nonsense. You can put any Ratio of PG to VG in it that you want.

Most People stay at or Above 50% VG. But everyone is Different. And you might like Less VG and More PG.

I was happy to find some numbers under the sticker, this guy sold me the efest charger and these batteries the other guy is the one who told me that these batteries were dangerous and convinced me to buy an efest green battery. The guy who sold me the green battery is the one I suspect was giving me a load of bs.

So glad you told me that because both told me the lowest VG I could go was 80%, maybe I won't mind it but for now I can barely taste it so I am going to take your advice and mix the 6mg 50/50 when my tank gets down halfway, thank you for that, I never knew the world of vapor shops was like this, I assumed all would say the same thing

Those are real, my friend. And do stay far away from the other guy with the Efest batteries. Efest makes a decent charger but I no longer recommend them for reasons having nothing to do with the charger; I don't like Efest batteries as they consistently overrate them, and they get ugly with people who point this out. In any event, those LG HG2 are excellent 20A batteries. I use them myself, as I said. The other guy is lying to you, plain and simple, or he doesn't know what he's talking about which is just as dangerous.

Thank you, this is he same guy who I suspect is jacking me so I will take your advice, thank you you've made me feel much better, so the question is do I actually use that other battery? He charged me $12 for it too I have no problem eating the$12 for safety purposes

I honestly can't say, Irish. Mooch does not list that battery in his chart, and that's all the data I have. It could be a great battery. Or maybe not. That's the problem with rewraps, you can't know what battery is under the wrap. Honestly, I don't think it would be a real problem. At 25 watts, where you vape, you'll only be drawing a little over 7 amps even when the battery is low on charge. Even a 10A battery should hold that. But I can not know that. You might try taking it back to him. Or get half your money back selling it to an idiot hanging out in the cloudy back part of the store where the idiots hang out :)

Maybe that was the Lowest VG Level that they Sold in those Shops? Or Maybe the people who told you that were just Not the Sharpest Knifes in the Drawer?

All I know if that You are the Only One who will know what you Like and Don't Like. And you can Run any e-Liquid you want in an Atomizer.

Thank you, that helps me so much because I didn't necessarily want to go down on my nic level either and he insisted I do that. Thank you, and all of you for taking the time to answer all my questions. Eventually I'll get the hang of it now that I finally know who to listen to at what shop and it's so great to have all of you so now I can go in there and tell them what I want and know it's right.

Hey I am just glad you told me all this, I would rather eat the 12 bucks and stay on the safe side....I just mixed the max vg with the 50/50 I had and it's perfect! I am so glad I finally have a setup that satisfies, I never knew vaping could be this awesome, I would have quit smoking years ago.

I think sometimes the Best thing to do is just to Tune Out the Suggestions and the People who are Tell You that you "Have To" do something, and just let your Taste Buds be the Judge.

Many People Fail with e-Cigarettes because they want something just like Smokes. Open the Pack, Insert into Mouth, Light end. Repeat 20 times in One Day.

e-Cigarettes aren't like that. There are about a Bazillion and Seven Combinations. And what works for Me (or anyone else) May or May Not work for you.

You've got a Great Mod. Atomizer and Batteries. Now you just need to do some Taste Testing to find the type of e-Liquids that you like. You'll get there. But it may take some Trial and Error.

Good advice.

I will do that, I will say it again, I am So grateful to have found this forum, starting out and knowing nothing I would have never expected I had to learn this much and shame on vapor shop owners who take advantage of newbies, I am furious. To look me dead in the eye and tell me that the brown batteries are bad because they are made in China only to find out they are rewrapped and actually made in China. It's just like anything else I guess, you trust that that give you the right advice thinking that they wouldn't steer you wrong because they want you to come back. Little does he know I have all of you to ask, I think it's time I tell this dh I don't appreciate being suckered. I am excited at what lies ahead and finding what works for me and what I like and don't like.

I have no doubt you all will get me there...I still am trying to get the basics down but I am close...my tank is gurgling I assume I have some juice in my tip, how do I fix this? I haven't even touched the wattage yet, the airflow is very confusing I guess I just have to mess with it until I find the right spot lol
