Hey all, i'm new to this sub-reddit i'm 25 y/o from Illinois and have been vaping for 3 years and making my own juice for 2
My question is, how should I go about converting a normal e-juice recipe into a salt nic recipe. Would I be able to use normal PG flavorings or would i need to get special PG flavorings specifically made to be used in salt nic. my nicotine salt base strength is 100mg. If I don't have to replace my PG flavorings by what % would i need to bump up the PG flavoring content to achieve the same amount of flavor. Here's a picture of one of my ejuice recipes for reference, if someone could manipulate it to look as it would need to to be a salt nic it would be much appreciated. I'm going for a content of anywhere between 25 and 50 nic.

You can use the same flavorings, there is no magical secret special flavors, use the same ones, and often at the same or only slightly higher percentages.
It is a sisyphean task to extract the same amount of flavor from a low power pod as you'd achieve from a regular mod.
As to adjusting flavoring, adjust your expectations and your recipe building to accommodate a simpler profile. One or two major notes really covers the bulk of what will come through cleanly. Past that it will very likely be muddled.
If you feel the need to adjust flavor percentages, start at 1.25x your normal and move up from there.
Thank you! what are acceptable VG/PG ratios for salt nic juice?
Whats the most popular ratio used by premium juice makers?
Most pods will play nicest with 50/50, anything over 70/30 will not wick well
It's not salt nic juice. It's pod juice. It matters not that you are using nic salt base
Well then allow me to reword it, let's use a mi-pod as a base device for my question.
about what pg/vg ratio is acceptable in those. as i said i plan to make 25-50 nic salt nic ejuice.
so it would be going into a pod system and i can't seem to find info on what those ratios are.
Freebase and saltbase are not really different, what makes it different is salt is generally used in low power devices, which makes it harder to taste things.
I use a subohm device and I use same recipes in my freebase and salt juices, they taste exactly the same.
So you are actually looking to convert a subohm juice to a mtl one, not freebase to saltbase.
To tack on, this also depends on your atty. For a pod system, I'd go higher nic and higher flavor, 50/50 VG/PG, no sweetener for the coils. For a MTL RTA that I'd like to run more open, less nic and thus less flavor (more than a DTL, tho), maybe higher sweetener to get a punch of flavor and more mouthfeel, but still near 50/50 or 60/40 VG/PG.
are there certain flavorings that are overly bad for pod device coils?
Ah, not really. Some juices have sweetener already in them so if you're really worried about coil life and going no sweetener, check out if those flavors are known to have some. Some juices have been known to go after plastic, so you might not want to make a pure pineapple ejuice.
As for vaping, I don't bother with heavier flavors like custards and creams because they can feel a bit lost with such low vapor production. Sharp fruits like citrus, apple, harder berries I tend to go for with some cooling agent. My go to is apple, and because I have a ton and I rarely MTL I use CAP Double Apple as a single flavor.
Flavor is already at 19%. How much higher do you want him to go?
I didn't tell him to raise the flavor, I told him my personal guideline. And I didn't take a look at the recipe. That's far too high, IMO.
