I myself, no longer vape. However a good friend of mine would really like to know how to cut a 30ml bottle of tasty vapor-24mg 35%VG, down to 18mg without messing up the pg/vg ratio? I told him i would try to find out! Any ideas?

Thanks a million!

He could cut it with 10ml of a 65/35 PG/VG. Or 6.5ml of PG and 3.5ml of VG added to the original 30ml.

It will cut the flavor accordingly, but if mg & PG/VG ratio is all he is concerned with, that shouldn't be an issue.

The very simplest way is to pick up a second bottle of exactly the same juice, but at 12 mg strength. Dump the two one ounce bottles into a two ounce empty bottle, shake, and you will have two ounces of 18 mg strength.

Next would be get a 0 nic doubler of exactly the same flavor and PG/VG ratio. Use 10 ml of the 0 nic doubler and 30 ml of the 24 mg juice, shake, and you'll have 40 ml of 18 mg juice.

Beyond the above two choices, if you can accept diluting the flavoring you could add PG and VG directly, but that's normally more of a hassle than it's worth. 6.5 ml of PG, 3.5 ml of VG, plus the original 30 ml of 24 mg juice will give you 40 ml of 18 mg strength, preserving the 35% VG, though cutting the flavor (since you're adding flavorless PG and VG).

Hope this helps.

Hoosier is usually bang on, but I believe his "goesinto" needs a new battery, today.

Diluting with 10ml = going from 24 mg down to 16mg. OP wants 18mg or a 25% reduction

25% of 30ml = 7.5ml of PG/VG

7.5 x 65 = 4.875 PG 4.8 is close enough
7.5 - 4.8 = 2.7 VG

All that being said, I would try batches as a 25% reduction is a large reduction in flavour.

That's even a better idea, no flavour loss.

Hoosier was correct with 10 ml of 0 nic PG and VG.

Initial TV juice: 30 ml x 24 mg/ml = 720 mg of nic.

Add 10 ml of PG and VG, as Hoosier said, and you now have a total of 40 ml, no change in the total nic since we're just adding 0 nic.

720 mg / 40 ml = 18 mg/ml final nic strength.

I think it is time to switch to pepsi. I always get the total backwards

Whew! Thanks Mr FM.

If my internal calculator is getting whacky, I need to find a new job.

Had me worried there for a minute. Even dragged out the ol' TI-85 to see if I was going on the fritz.
