I am not a new mixer , have been mixing for 2 years but honestly I made a huge mistake and had to toss about 500ml of vg. I now have no vg , and only of. My question is how bad do you think it would be leaking wise, tasting etc. If I just mix my recipes with just pg for a few days for my self. I am ordering on Wednesday (payday) and I'll have my vg thursday, I have about 90 ml of actual juice left but I know I will run short atlest two days before.
I figured if I mixed up now so can steep , I plan on lowering my nic amt to 1% from 2% and should I lower the flavor values all around because pg seems to carry the flavor better? Also is it going to leak like a sieve if I use in my rta? Should I pack extra cotton? Any help is greatly appreciated .
Yeah you don't want to do this. Go to Walmart or a pharmacy and get some USP grade or equivalent VG. Why did you throw away your VG?
Ok will do, I'll check tonite. I was mixing last night my adv after a 14 hour shift and my son just wrote with permimant marker on my brand new $1500 couch so I wasn't in the right state of mind at the time And some how trippled the nic, read the wrong % which was for flavoring . So yea had a 9% juice and in my haste I threw it away . It honestly wouldn't have mattered because I don't have enough pg to dilute it close enough too make it vapeable for me . I found some bottles and I mixed prob a 50/50 60 ml so should be ok . I'm gonna go to Walgreens and Wal-Mart tonite.
Thank you
As for your couch problem, rubbing alcohol will take the ink right out.
I don't think it will be as bad as people are saying, but you will need to wick differently. It will be harsher, but lowering the nic and wattage you use can minimize it. Way back in the day ALL eliquids were 100% PG, it just works better in a MTL setup, but it will probably be passable for a short time.
I mix at between 85-95% PG and I like it just fine. It carries flavours very well, isn't as cloud-bro-y, and doesn't leak in the device I use. I don't find the throat hit to be as horrific as people make it out to be...I think that's more of a meme from people who never actually vaped high PG regularly.
Edit: Zero nic, direct to lung.
100% pg is fine, this is what was used back in the day but of course back in the day atomizers were mostly for mtl. So my advice, if you're going full pg keep it mtl and don't sub ohm. I use to vape 48mg full pg on a carto tank, no prob.
Ugh I feel for you. Even when I was smoking 1.5 packs a day anything higher than 18mg completely killed my throat and lungs. How did you manage that and NOT get turned off of vaping?
At the time I figured the more nic the better. This was around 2009 or 2010, devices and/or atomizers weren't as efficient at delivering nic as they do today. The atomizers were strictly mtl as well which makes it much easier on the throat. I went from from 48 to 36 and quickly dropped down to 18 and 12 as technology progressed. Nowadays, I only vape 6mg and use DL atomizers.
