A friend has bought me a 100ml shortfill of Rodeo menthol (70VG/30PG). I'm planning to add 2 x 10ml 20mg Blue Slush nic salts (50/50), but can't figure out the maths. What will the final PG/VG mix and nic content be please? I'm kind of hoping it will end up tasting like Heisenberg Menthol, which is today's new discovery, and the first flavour I've tried that I actually like beyond Solt Menthol 20mg.
 
The 2 x salt nic will h e a total of 400mg nic (2 x 20 x 10) so the final strength after you mix it all together will be 400/120.
 
Ah so if I vaped 10ml over a few days, the total nicotine content would be 33mg, which is the equivalent to say 5 of the old ciggies I used to smoke. That's pretty good over a few days, considering I was on 30/day a fortnight ago.
 
That’s good going @Tiglath . Are you finding it’s satisfying your nic requirements? I’m still puffing about 5-7ml of 12mg every day after nearly 3 years. I suspect my nic consumption has increased since I binned the fags. :D
 
Ratio is 53.33333/46.66666 I think

100ml @ 50/50 = 50vg 50pg
20ml @ 70/30 = 14vg & 6pg

total 64vg/56pg on 120ml (in theory)

multiply each figure by .8333333 (120 x 0.8333333 = 100ml aprox (99.999996))

64 x 0.8333333 = 53.33333
56 x 0.8333333 = 46.66666

yeah a smidge over 50/50 or less than 55/45, nowt to worry about if mixed up OK
 
Yes it's completely fine. Not missing the fags at all, even on a work day. I suspect the vaping is satisfying the manual habit, and the nicotine is largely irrelevant. I did give up for 3 months last year using reducing strengths of gum, but then I moved house and went straight back to it. This time I think I've found what works.

Ahh moving house, especially if buying/selling can be one of the most stressful moments

tbh imho this vaping malarky for kicking the habit is probably 75% mind over matter
a way to break the habit smokers have had for decades - we need something that emulates smoking still

many of us have tried the gum (tastes like shit), patches, sprays even fucking hypno/self help books etc.....
didn't really help that much - well pretty fucking obvious it didn't coz if we quit completely, off the fags cold turkey
then just wtf would we all be doing on here a vaping forum ????

Most of our success is likely down to this vaping malarky emulating the fags/smoking habit leading to us quitting for so long

Nicotine levels - well you yourself decide upon that but depends on how much/often you vape
I started on 18/16mg, then dropped to 11mg, then a little less at 9mg aprox
now just just just about managing 6mg MTL but chaining a little more @ around 7ml a day or 5 bottles a week
before on higher nic & e-pens I did say 35ml on 11mg a week......

BUT we are all different on here, some do 100ml+ or almost zero nic for example

you or your own body will tell you if you are lacking nic by craving/climbing walls
or over doing it by starting to feel dizzy/nauseous if overdoing the nic a smidge
(just a case of listening to your own metabolism or giving it a while to adjust)

Congrats anyway for giving up the fags
