First mixes

You are still confused about mg and %
1.2mg is not a normal strength manufacturers make unless you have it made specially for you.
12mg is made which is 1.2%

Well, you know what I meant sorry.

I knew what you meant, just making sure you knew what you meant otherwise it could lead you to get your calculations wrong.
Though if you had made 1.2mg you would have had a mix with almost no nicotine, and that would rule out nic as the problem.

Dtl thats high nicotine, my advice drop the mango to 2%, then drop your vg/pg lvl to 65% vg and 35%pg and finally my asvice would be.

stop using pg and vg all together and instead use pg flavouring and nicotine pg based with the rest made up of ag much smoother and acts like a 50/50 juice wicking wize

Yes, yes, I always getting mixed up 1.2/12, I know what I mean. Just like to confuse myself and others!
@travolski what is ag? Seeing somewhere something about it, but never look in to it properly.

I'm using either cleito or crown 2 dtl, always using 12mg nic. In all of them. Got nicotine from DarkStar which is 72mg vg based. In 30ml of juice on web calculator as stated : Nicotine 5ml, PG 10.5ml, VG 10ml, Flavouring 1.5 ml X 3, 4.5ml total. (which is 5% of each flavor)
Thoughts?!
Thank you all for replying and suggestions!

@mi1984 Just had a look at that mix on steam engine & it's more 30 VG - 70 PG. When your inputting ingredients in you have to state what base they are ie Nic is normally PG as are the flavours. In a 50/50 mix the VG should be 50% & nic, ingredients & PG make up the other 50%.
Recipe
Nicotine base (PG) 5
Flavor 1 (PG) 1.5
Flavor 2 (PG) 1.5
Flavor 3 (PG) 1.5
VG 14.82
PG 5.68
This is in ml & could be why your mix is harsh, too high PG %

Cheers, I'll have a look at that but my nicotine is vg based anyway. Flavourings usually pg based, I'm aware of that. Is it steam engine. Com?

Just figured most people use PG based nic. Might be worth double checking as when i ran your mix through Steamengine I assumed PG nic hence why the PG/VG ratio was out.
Yes http://www.steam-engine.org/juice.asp. I use ejuicemeup, a small programme that's dead easy to use & has recipes built in to try.

Cheers, just had a look at it, put all info and ingredients in calculator and it gave me same as others. So don't know really, the only option I have, I think, is process of elimination : make base with 0mg nicotine, then make mix but use only 2 out of 3 flavors, and then see which one of them is causing harshness.

The ag stands for aqeus glycerin i beleive it is, ive got lubrisolves ag here and its excellent. Its basically 80%vg and 20% sterile water mixed the result is basically vg with the consistancy of pg

OK, nice to know. What is main difference in vaping between vg and ag? Is it smoother? Thanks.
