48mg to 12mg nic ?

[binaryman]

I have 48mg of PG/Nic and want to cut it to 12mg for my liquids.

I don't have any PEG or PG or PGA but only have distilled water, everclear and VG.

Normally I dilute my Nic juice with VG to go from 48mg to 24mg, but if I try to do that going from 48mg to 12mg with Vg I am afraid it will be to thick for my Go-cart.

Does anyone have a recommendation ? I was thinking:

25% 48mg/PG-Nic
25% everclear
35% VG
15% Flavor

25% PGA would be way too much. Doubt you would enjoy the taste and the juice would be very thin.

25% 48mg PG is a given, to make 12mg juice.
15% flavor

That accounts for 40% of the mix so far, leaving 60% to go. Since you have VG and distilled water, use those. Make up a quantity of pre-thinned VG, using 4 parts VG with 1 part distilled water, and add this mixture to make up the remaining 60%. (warming the bottle of pure VG will make it thinner and easier to measure)

If you still want to use some PGA, just substitute it for some of the water when thinning the VG. I recommend limiting the amount of PGA to less than 10% of the total recipe volume.

Thanks for the advice! It turned out great!

25% everclear is quite a bit. When I add alcohol to my juice (for throat hit) I only add 1-3%

thanks for the advice. I had a couple other people tell me that to. I decided not to use it. The looks I got from others was the look that I shouldn't be mixing at all after a display of ignorance like I did in the email

"We don't know what we don't know" is a popular saying where I work.

Me, I just say "D'oh!"

Heck..you aren't gonna know if you don't ask. The only thing I would suggest is that sometimes 15% flavor is too much. I usually start with around 10% and 2% cotton candy (I put that in everything), then after it steeps a bit I decide if I need more flavor or not

Where do you get your cotton candy ? Considering that as a base in all favors interests me. I might do the same.

I suggest Perfumers Apprentice as a source for Cotton Candy flavoring. It's 10% ethyl maltol in a PG base.
