Hello, I have one for you. I am new to mixing and I can't seem to calculate the VG-PG percentege. I am using a MTL RTA device so I would like to vape around 50-60% VG.
I am using Dinner Lady concentrates that should be 15% of the mix and to the best of my knolege contain only PG.
In my region i can't find 100% VG base and 100% PG base, to mix separately. My otions are 50-50, 60-40, 70-30 and 80-20 VG-PG. My nic shot options are 50-50 or 70-30 VG-PG with 20mg/ml nicotine.
I want to be precice and those online calculators don't help, because they seem to ignore the flavour concetrate's PG percentage and only indicate ml of VG-PG used separately.
I kinda figured I use 10 ml concentrate flavour, 10ml nic shot (that is the size of the bottles and wanna use it all) and 46ml base. I tried 50-50 base and 50-50 nic shot but it feels like it has a lot less VG than 50%.
What combination of base and nic shot shoud I use to get a 50-60% VG mix overall?
Juice calcs take into consideration pg amounts for flavors. You'll want to use ELR for that.
As far as precision goes, unfortunately that is thrown out the window when using premixed base. You can try to account for that of course by getting a base slightly higher than your target strength.
Getting 70/30 base would probably be the best option for you. That and get the nic shot in all PG.
I just realised too much PG gives terrible cotton mouth, never doing that again. I heard PGcarries flavour better than VG, so that was the thought process behind using a 50/50 base.
Does the size of the container where i leave the mixed liquid matter? I just let it sit in a dark place and shake it once a day, never opening it till it's done. I am thinking about the ammout of air inside the bottle. Using a 70 ml bottle with 65 ml of liquid inside vs a 100 ml bottle with 65 ml of liquid inside. Would the 2 have a perceivable difference in teaste?
If i would get a DL RTA and use 80W with a 0.2 ohm insetead of this MTL RTA with 25W and 0.5ohm would I get a lot more flavour? Kinda feels like it's not enough after a couple of months. I only like fruit and sweets flavours, no tabaco.
I can't seem to figure out where to buy nicotine. I know I need synthetic nicotine these days, but where do I order it from? Googling it has just led me through an endless circle of bullshit.
