VG %

[MrToast]

What is the largest % of VG I could put in a mix using PG nic base? I gather VG is better for vapor production.

morning...vg is def best for vapour, as for the mix....can put what you like in...if you have 54mg nic and vape at 18mg then dilute with just vg then your base mix will be 66.6/33.3 VG/PG ratio...your mix will be quite thick though but not un-vapeable.could dilute your vg with distilled water or vodka first.

i have pg and vg and vape at 18mg so i use exact amount of each,so 10ml of pg nic,10ml of pg dilute and 10ml of vg dilute so my ratio is 66.6/33.3 PG/VG ratio...this is my base mix so once my flavouring is added im usually vaping at 14-16mg but thats fine for us

Thanks, i currently mix at 60/40 pg/vg but wanted to try a heavier VG mix, I will knock one up later. I use a ss mesh wick over a silica wick.

i dont use ss mesh,just cant seem to do it to be honest and its a faff so couldnt tell you the impact more vg has on your vape but doing samples is always good for a try...will be thick though,pop to offy for a small bottle of vodka,never tried this but its what ive read is recomended

If I bought a bottle of vodka it wouldn't last long enough to get into the mix

Ok I am now confused, I want to make a 20ml mix at 40/60 pg vg, I have 54mg pg nic base and want to use 15% flavour.

Using the calculator i get these results, but is this not 50/50

PG or VG	10.3		51.5%
Flavouring	3.0		15.0%
Dilutant	0.0		0.0%
Base Nicotine Liquid	6.7		33.5%

Certainly looks it to me.

Guesd you'd either need a slightly weaker mg nic, or a vg aswell as pg

For what it's worth though, for my taste you still get a load of vapour at 50/50.. And I find vape very important

You are right toast. That isn't right because it doesn't take the flavorings into consideration. Usually the flavouring I'd PG based too. Have you got PG base, VG base as well as the nic in PG?

 

[MrToast]

I have PG nic base @54mg and 0 nic VG and PG

I wanted to make a VG heavy mix

 

[AndyC1971]

For now I would do the following

2 ml of flavour
6 ml of PG nic 54
12 ml of VG base

This will give you a strength of about 16mg. You won't ever increase this strength or be able to use over 10% flavouring unless you purchase the nic in VG.
