The perfect diy mix

[slinkey97]

Hi Folks
was wondering if anyone had the perfect 70/30 mix i have just made my first diy attempt and seems to be a bit oily in taste also seem to cough when having a drag a lot .
i used the e juice me up calculator to do mix and having tried a couple of more calculators there seems to be quite a difference from them both to the E juice calc
any thought ideas please ill post my mix below which is what ive done

apple and cinnamon swirl
PG 16.2ML
VG 6.5ML
NICOTINE 2.5ML (7.2)
APPLE 3ML
CINNAMON 1.8ML
THIS IS 70/30 AT 6MG STRENGTH TO MAKE 30 MILL BOTTLE
Thanks guys
Al

Cinnamon! It's oily and a little goes a long way. Which brand is it?

Hi dave got it from vapemate.co.uk no specific brand

That is a lot of pg compared to what most people use these days.
i assume your nic and flavours are in pg.
Few people mix more than 50% pg and people who want clouds may use 20% or less.
Pg carries flavour better than vg that is why flavours tend to be in pg, but vg is smoother to vape and pg more throat hit.
I would try less pg perhaps somewhere between 50% and 20%

if the calculators are giving different numbers you are doing something wrong.

Hi oldhippydude
that was the answer is was kind of looking for i was wondering as i did the recipe on ejuice me up
then i tried exact same recipe on 2 other calculators and the PG volumes were quite a different not saying ejucieme up is wrong but other 2 were very close on PG volumes

when i did recipe did exact as it was got some more coming so ill have a play with it

If youre aiming for 70PG/30VG and assuming your nic is vg based then that stacks up but if you are aiming for 70VG/30PG then you've got it all arse about tit

Something don't seem right there is it 70% pg?

 

[slinkey97]
