Upping my PG ratio?

[1LastShot]

So far I have been using a 24 mg 100% VG base, mixing it with plain VG and adding PG based flavorings to result in a 12mg ejuice that is approximately 20/80 at its highest of flavoring percentages. I have been dripping for months, so high VG has been ideal. I decided to get a mini Vivi, and am concerned about using it with the high VG, so I also ordered some 24mg 100% PG in order to up the PG ratio in my mixes. Now...how do I do this? I use a basic ejuice calculator app on my iPhone, don't have a computer for the ejuice me up...and I know getting an exact "ratio number" is tough to do, but that's not really my exact goal. I would like to stay above 50/50 though. Much past that and I start having PG issues.

Any ideas or advice?

Yep. When you fall going up the stairs, stop and do a few pushups. Someone might believe you did it on purpose.

Other than that, why up the PG? Wouldn't it be easier to add a bit of PGA or H2O and thin it so the vivi wicks?

Good advice. I'll file that away with "Dont eat yellow snow".

My thought process on adding the PG was to thin it. I haven't used PGA or water yet- still a bit unsure how to use them and how it would affect my final product.

I also feel like the higher VG ratio I am using (I used to vape 40/60 vendor juice) might be affecting my flavor quality. It seems like no matter what I do it's not quite strong enough in the flavor area. I could be wrong though.

In my experience PGA thins the most with the least impact on flavor. I've never developed a rule of how much as I usually put 100ml of VG into a 120ml glass bottle and drip some PGA in, shake, roll the bottle around to watch it flow, and repeat until it is acting like PG. I did this for a friend who could only tolerate VG juice and liked clearos. Since she has quit smoking and vaping, I don't do this anymore, but I remember being entertained about how little it took.

Distilled water works fine but I found a few recipes that tasted different. Not necessarily worse or better, but different...it's kinda' hard to explain. It may have been in my head as my friend never noticed a difference. It does take more water to thin the VG down.

Seems to me that you have some experimenting to do. Remember to have fun!

thanks for the info- sounds like I need to play around with PGA. Now what exactly do I get?

Get the highest proof Everclear available in your location.

And I see you're behind me, so you can answer a question for me. Are me seams straight?

On a serious note, anywhere close to Greenfield? A B&M store is hosting a meet there in a few weeks. (details at the links in my dog)

Erm.....you have links in...your dog? I am going to assume you mean the link below your siggy and run with that notion rather than doing any searching of your pets.

ETA: ah yes, found it! It's not too far away, we'll try and find ourselves a sitter and come join in the fun!

Yeah, I do most of my posting from my phone and it likes to do odd autocorrects, but I usually catch them. And it posted it twice, so it's extra nice.

Cool. Look for me and say Howdy. I'm usually the largest bipedal creature at a meet and easy to spot.
