E-Cig liquid

Spoke to a few people lately about mixing your own liquid, here's the products I use
1st you need a PG base, unflavoured but contains nicotine, you are better buying the higher dosage one (54mg), it is more expensive, but you will use less of it

2nd you will need a flavouring - I buy the PG based ones
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

3rd you will need a bottle of VG (Glycerin) you can buy it a Liberty flights, but you can get it at the chemist a lot cheaper, this is the one I use from Boots, what ever you get, make sure its 100% as the others at 80% Etc are diluted with sugar and will block your burner

4th you will need some distilled water, readily available from places like Halfords, but as you only use a small amount you could distill your own easily enough.
You need this to water down the VG liquid as it is too thick at 100%, when I diluted mine, I put 20ml in a 200ml bottle of VG

I got a few 30ml bottles, a 100ml mixing bottle, a 30ml shringe and needle all available from here

There is a calculator available here to show you how to mix it

The recipe I use to mix 100ml with a 10mg Nicotine strength and flavour set at 15% is
PG with nicotine - 18ml
Flavouring - 15ml
VG liquid - 67ml

I have just done a quick check, if you buy the PG at 54mg you use 18ml, if you buy the lower one at 27mg you would use 37ml - twice the amount

When mixing, for a good throat hit you need more PG, for a lot of smoke you need more VG
If you had 100% PG you would have good throat hit but no smoke
If you had 100% VG you would have no throat hit and lots of smoke
I mix mine at 32% PG and 68% VG

Hope this helps, if you do decide to mix your own and want any help with anything, just ask

I bought my flavouring cheap in a sale at Totally Wicked
Worth checking this site for prices

Nice one Ken,thanks

Thanks Ken------off shopping tomorrow for some bits as the liquid you gave me is far far better than anything that I have bought pre mixed from Totally wicked

If your using Liberty flights Alan, you might be better going to the shop at Darwen, I think they keep more there than their other outlets, I usually order it online then go and pick it up

First lot of homebrew being smoked now Ken.

Not as good as yours yet but I am only learning----Thanks

I got a new battery for mine yesterday, a variable voltage one, that makes a difference if you get a liquid thats not producing a lot of smoke or doesn't seem to burn right

Did you use the amounts I posted?
If so any difference must be down to the flavouring

New cartomizer, an Evod.
Bottom fill and wick so the fluid gets in the burner better, no leaks if it is turned upside down, and no horrible sweet taste of the fluid

Smokes well with the variable voltage battery

Well that battery didn't last long, had to fix it myself twice but it's died now, avoid buying one of these.

Ken

My big jar of fluid is getting low, I do not suppose you are heading this way in the near future.

Tell you what, you bring the bottle over then I will bring it to you full  
That reminds me, think I need to do a mix
