Nicotine carrier question

[Mr Numpty]

If you mix by weight VG is actually easier to work with .. its easier to control the flow .. especially in non aqueous form

So true!

Ok, all that makes sense. I'll likely be measuring by volume rather than weight so it sounds like PG definitely will be preferable.

Any good recommendations for AVG suppliers? I was going to get stuff from Darkstar but they only do VG.

Flavour art do avg not sure on the prices, but its prob cheaper to do it yourself I got my last bottle of distilled water 500ml from classikool £5.
Durrant are cheaper though but the smallest bottles they do is 1ltr if I remember right.

Ok, I assume jewellers' scales would work for that? Thanks for the tip - I hadn't seen your comment when I last replied.

Damnit, I should've known that as that's where I'm planning on getting my concentrates from

Haha always the way mate, but if you grab some water from classikool its free delivery so wont be paying p&p twice I make mine 2.5ml water 97.5ml vg for 100ml avg juice is much better imo less harsh and much smoother.

Just for information, i make my own aqueous vg........ nothing mystifying btw , i just add between 5- 10% max water to my vg and away you go, i actually Never add pg to any of my mixes as i really dont like the "scratchyness" it adds as i find there is enough pg in the flavours. But remember it's horses for courses and really imo it depends if you are sub ohming or exclusivly using mtl. Good thread this btw.

Thanks @Unclebilbo and @Donald Trump's fister! Ok, so is mixing the water with the VG straightforward? Just shake or use the ultrasonic bath?

And that's an excellent point about PG already being in the concentrates. I do both subohming and mtl, but I'm more interested in diying 70/30 and above rather than 50/50 for now.

I prefer VG because it's harder to work with.

Yeah, but you're just a bit more weird than the rest of us...

No need for ultrasonic just shake till its clear, vg looks sort of stringy as you add pg or water to it but it mixes together very quickly.
If you use the ejuicemeup calculator theres an option to add water/alcohol so you dont need to premix it but I find it handy having a larger bottle premade.
