VG or PG based nic?

[DetraMental]

Had a question so I can get started. On Wizard labs website they sell 36mg nic in PG or VG. Say I buy 36mg in PG and my target of nic is 18. I cut that 50/50 with VG and add my flavoring accordingly? And do I still need to add PG?

I was thinking if the nic already has PG in it I can go ahead and mix in VG with the flavors I want? Just want to clarify. Thanks.

You can cut the vg nic solution with a pg solution and get your 50/50 base, then add your flavors. If you want to get into the small details where your flavors contain pg then you can figure in how much pg/ml they consist of, subtract that from the pg solution, use a vg solution instead to replace what you took out, and this will keep a true 50/50 base. I personally don't do this since it is such a small amount.

Thanks. I kind of figured it while typing. Checked the calculators and I see what I need to add. Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully soon I can get started making my own.

If you don't mind me asking....What's your preferred method of mixing it?

Yeah just give it good shake. Although it's thick it will still slosh around in there and get mixed up.

My preferred method of mixing is frothing. I got a cheap one on amazon and it works great: IKEA Produkt Milk Frother

Uses two AA batteries.

For DIY ejuice - I froth three times and let liquid clear each time between frothing. Bottle ready to go - no need to steep.

I was very interested in this when I first heard about it, but one of nic's enemies is oxygen. By aerating it with the frother, the oxidation process is heightened, which can result in a loss of nic and flavor potency. Have you ever tested the nic content before and after? I'm curious how frother affects it.
