Hi there,
I hope someone can give me an advice for my first use of Shake&Vape from IVG, please note that I am from EU so I am not using shortfills but rather longfill.
I can buy S&V from IVG which is 18ml flavour concentrate (30PG/70VG) in 60ml bottle. My goal is to get 50/50 final juice with 15mg nic salt.
My plan:
- mixing 70/30 0nic base (50ml) with 70/30 20mg nic salt booster (150ml) to get 200ml 70/30 base 15mg
- then filling the S&V to the full hence adding approx. 40ml of the mix from the step 1.
Will it result in approx. 50/50 juice with 15mg nic salt?
Need some guidance in the beginning.
Thanks a lot.
Hi. Not quite. You are mixing 50 ml of VG/PG with 150 ml of 20mg VG/PG. That equals.
200 ml of base at 15mg/ml.
If you take 40 ml (600mg) of base and mix it with 18 ml of flavor (one shot), you will end up with 58 ml (600mg), resulting in 10.5 mg/ml strength.
You can‘t make 15 mg/ml eliquid, nor can you reach 50/50 if you are mixing 70/30 nic shots with 70/30 base and a 70/30 one shot. Your end result will always be 70/30.
To make things easier for yourself, please use one of the calculators pinned to the sidebar when mixing eliquid. I also suggest you read the FAQ pinned to the sidebar and if you’re up to it, join our Discord for assistance.
I can't do the math yet but your plan will result in significantly lower nic than 15mg and ~~significantly higher PG than 50.~~
Even if you add 18ml of the 70PG 30VG 20mg nic salt in the IVG bottle, ~~you will get 50PG 50VG but the nic strength is only 10mg.~~
You will never get 15mg nic salt. Even if you use 42ml of the ~~70PG 30VG~~ 20mg nic salt and add 18ml of the IVG, the resulting nic strength would be 14mg, ~~and the PG VG would be 58PG 42VG.~~
Edit: I misunderstood the PG VG of the salt booster, thought it was PG first since it's how you specified the IVG.
Ok I see. Thanks for that. I can obtain either 70VG/30PG 20mg salt or 50/50. I need to make more research I guess. Thanks again!
Hi, I misunderstood the PG VG ratio of your salt - I thought you meant 70PG 30VG instead. In this case, you could get 50VG/50PG @20mg salt booster, pour it in the IVG until full (42ml of 50 50 booster) and you will get 56VG/44PG and 14mg nic, which I think is close enough for your need.
