How do I mix Chuff Stuff concentrates?

[darkminxi]

Hello. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I'm totally new to vaping.

I ordered 2 X 0 nicotine 30ml Chuff Stuff concentrates, but have no idea how to mix them!
I tried adding nicotine shots to one of the flavours (Campers Delight), but it tasted horrible, so horrible that I can't use it at all.

It says on the bottle "mix at 20%".
What does that mean?
Am I supposed to add some VG/PG as well as the nicotine and if so, what quantities?

I did message mixshop.co.uk (where I bought it from), but they didn't answer me.
I also saw on their website "how to mix shortfills", where it says just to add nicotine, but I don't think this is what I'm supposed to do with these Chuff Stuff flavours, as when I tried it, it just made the e-juice very watery and taste extremely unpleasant!

Any help would be appreciated.

It means to mix as 20% of your overall mix - which also needs to include VG, PG, and nicotine (if required). So yes, you would also need to add VG and PG.

Shortfills are a different thing to concentrates. Shortfills have flavours, VG and PG already mixed, so you only need to add nicotine.

hi and welcome to the planet @darkminxi
never a stupid question so dont be affraid to ask anything.

chuff stuff is only in concentrate now so you will also need VG & PG to mix it all together.
DO NOT use neat but youve already tried that.
shortfills are ready mixed zero nicotine juice and just need nic shots added.
concentrates are neat flavouring in a little pg so you still have to add the vg & pg.

you will need a calculator like this http://www.steam-engine.org/juice.html

for an example if you wanted to make 10ml of finished liquid you add the concentrate at 20% on bottom left. then chose what nic strength in the middle 2 boxes changing to the ratio you want and then it gives you how much to add on the right.

for example picture below
10ml final mix
20% flavour
1.8mg nic shot change to the nic ratio on the bottle 100VG, 70/30, 50/50, 100PG (will use 70vg here)
3mg final strength

its an easier way by using some scales. i use these https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_...Weighing+Scales+Jewellery+0.01g-500g&_sacat=0
or syringes which i think are harder.

you can find everything diy on post 6 here POTV Vendors & Recommended E Liquid Suppliers

It sounds like you have bought the concentrate so to make things simple you need a 150ml empty bottle add all the concentrate and 3nic shots if you vape 3mg or 6 if you vape 6 mg make sure the nic shot are 100 vg then fill to the top of the bottle nick with vg give if a good shake to mix everything you will end up with a mix that’s roughly 80vg 20pg that’s a simple way to discribe if you sub ohm hope that makes sense

Yup, they're concentrates, as in just the flavour. You need to add pg, vg and nicotine if you use nic.
Let's us all know how you like your juice and someone can give you quantities.
We'll need to know pg/vg ratio that you like. ie, 50/50 , 70/30 etc and what nicotine strength you like. ie , 3mg, 6mg, 12mg etc

They are concentrates, not shortfills.

Leni has answered my question, so I won't post links to them.

Thanks for your reply though!

 

[darkminxi]

Wow!
Thanks for all the replies!

Yes, they are concentrates, not shortfills.

I originally added 80% 18mg nicotine shots (100%VG) to 30ml of "Campers Delight" flavour.
It tasted horrible though and was very watery. I still have the mixed bottles of concentrate/nicotine, so I assume I need to add VG/PG to that now to make it taste right.

I still have another full, unused bottle of "Mammas" to mix.

I think 70/30 VG/PG would be a good mix and I like about 6 or 12mg of nicotine (not sure, because I'm new to vaping and still trying to get ideal nicotine levels to quit smoking).

Thanks again for all your replies, you are all so helpful!

When you say you 'added 80%' what do you mean? Do you know how much you added in ml? (How many nic shots?) And do you have separate VG and PG to add too?

Using your full 30ml bottle of concentrate, 100% vg nic shots ( 5 of them )
