i'm planning on trying to mix my own and before weighing out £60 and would like some advice if this sounds about right,
i usually vape sub-ohm 3mg bottles @ £1 a go which is fine but when i buy the odd bottle of a better brands same flavour (i always stick to heisenberg) it blows my usual supply away, but the cost always pulls me back to the £1 bottles

how far is this off the mark?

1000ml 70-30 vg/pg
200ml vg 18mg nicotine shot
90ml heisenberg concentrate (vampire vape)
also thinking of adding some koolada ws-23 to drip in individual bottles trial & error

this gives me 129 10ml bottles, or 134 if i like the koolada added for for £62, well under ten bob a bottle

thanks, korky

Hi @korky thats a lot of heisenburg

i dont mix much anymore but i would say why not just mix up 100ml at a time to start with as if the % is slightly off you could fek the whole mix up

id also say its best to buy vg and pg separate. i know some do use the pre mix but i think the majority use the seperate vg and pg.
oh and if heisen is 20% concentrate mix on the bottle you would need around 200ml to make up the full 1000ml final mix

have a look through post 6 as the seperate work out cheaper than the pre mixed. only ones ive used is darkstar and last two orders from vapable POTV Vendors & Recommended E Liquid Suppliers

yep, heisen is the only vape i really like, i was intending on making small batches to start to find the correct mix but didn't want to order far too much of 1 ingredient at the start, will look at buying separate vg/pg then, just wanting a decent taste on a budget

I mix up 500ml batches of heisenberg for a friend.......using 90ml of VV heisenberg which is 18% flavour total.
Yours will be well weaker, @ less than half the % I make it at......it will be shite.

I always mix Heisenberg at 16.5% for my mate, that seems to be the sweet spot for her. Is that 9% you’re going to mix? That won’t be anything like the real thing. Defo make some smaller batches - I’d suggest mixing a small amount at 15% to start, see how you find it.

Isn’t 90ml 9% of 1000ml? I’m extremely tired so may be missing something

having looked into mixing more, i guess buying some scales for ease of use is better,
are the ones on ebay/amazon for a fiver good enough? they do 0.01g
i'm now thinking of just buying 1 ltr of VG , 500 ml of PG, 100 ml concentrate flavour & 20x10 ml 18 mg nicshots and play around
a kind gent pm'd me about buying 78 mg nicotine but unsure of where to buy it

 

[MrDJ]

i bought the scales from ebay for £7 (link on post 6 above) and they do the job. might be worth buying the extra weights to calibrate now and again.
there are a few places for 72% but it cant be talked about on here as the law changed and its meant to be for trade only.

everything is in the post now, i've several empty 10ml bottles but what do you recommend storage in after i've cracked the right mix to suit me?
was thinking of buying some 30ml glass bottles for easy clean & reuse,
bearing in mind i usually vape 80-100ml per week, would it be suitable to always have 3x30ml bottles steeping and 3x30ml ready for use and keep rotating so always got a weeks supply ready and a weeks steeping?
i'd read that if mixing larger batches, regular open & closing of bottles allows air to degrade the mix as well as my core ingredients i mix with
