I can't get the math right.
submitted over 10 years ago by thepiercedweirdo

I have some 50/50 base left over from my tank days. I've now sworn my life to RBAs/RDAs. I'm stuck on this problem. I think the answer is right. But best to ask the internet in hopes of a real response.

I want to bring it up to 75V 25P. Do I add an equal ammount of vg to the 50/50 mix?

Yes.

Think of it in ml of VG/PG:

  1. 50ml VG / 50ml PG

  2. add 100ml of VG:

  3. 150ml VG / 50ml PG = 75/25

Thank you. I thought so. I try to get stuff right the first go around since math isn't a strong point of mine. This is a repair of sorts so it kinda threw me. I almost had sink rage and rinsed it all.

No need to let impatience turn into anger. You're DIYing, you're already "better" than 95% by taking a proactive step towards more control over your vape.

That's something to enjoy, even if it gets tricky sometimes. It is never a reason to blow the lid.

Also, that's why we're all here -- to help each other with our math. Good math means better safety, and double-checking your numbers with another person is good science.

It's good to know that there is an active/interactive community out there. I've been skulking around numerous forums for years. And just tonight thought, why not reddit? Glad I followed through. I've gotten bored of prefabricated flavor concentrates and want to get into making my own flavors. After looking around this looks like the place to be.

this will also weaken the flavor. might as well start making new juices of your own. much easier. the amount of math to bring the flavoring percentage back to its original level is a lot more difficult not to mention somewhat impossible since you dont know for sure what they were using

I don't think their was any flavoring in the juice. He's trying to up the VG level in his VG/PG base.

It's true. I'm just increasing the VG in my base. I've doctored up some store bought liquids for my mom and girlfriend in the past to bring the nicotine down. It was easy enough. I just had to match the base and add a similar flavor to it to repair the dilution.
