PG or VG when mixing

[anders]

Been a e smoker for 4 days now and im loving it !!

I want to try and mix my own juice, i got this now

http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/products/totally-wicked-eliquid/electronic-cigarette-10ml-totally-2-product.html

but i cant figure out if its pg or vg in it so can choose the same when buying titanium ice.


And btw is there an expiration date on any of the liquids ?


*and what kind of dilution Should i choose *

Hiya anders, welcome to the forum. The Red Label juice is 80% PG and 20% VG. E-Juice is good for a couple of years if kept sealed, out of light and relatively cool, ie not left on a windowsill in the middle of summer.
Happy vaping.

Hi anders, welcome to the forum

The eliquids you have selected are premixed and ready to vape, so you don't need to mix these, unless you wanted to combine flavours of course  

I would give this section a read to give you some understanding about mixing, it describes each ingredient and how it maybe used and the effects they each give

Have fun

Okay thanks SvevieV,

So i can buy the titanium in pg and the pure glycerine in vg to get approximately the same ratio as in red label ?

Thanks for the link Astrecks, but what i meant was, what i needed to buy to make the type of liquid as in the Red Label juice

It depends on your final strength, to be sure its is best to get both PG and VG or AG as your diluent, most premixes are 80% PG and 20% VG, most people buy the base nicotine in PG.

Hello Anders and welcome to the forum 

It helps a lot to have a tool in the aid of calculating the ratios.

If you are on windows you can use my mixinghelper to get the ratios correct.

Or you can use the tod muller online version

anders, when you start mixing you can also play around with the different bases to get different tastes/thoathits/vapor production/etc

PG is supposed to give more of a throat hit and have better flavor transfer

VG/AG is supposed to give more vapor and can add sweetness (i don't know if i have noticed a sweetness difference though personally) it is thicker than PG so if you are having an issue with your device because of a liquids viscosity you can change ratios of PG and VG around to help that.

personally when i mix i use the TW ratio for a 6mg juice which is 3 nicotine/7 flavor(using the DV flavors) and 20 pg/vg (which i split 15 pg and 5 vg ), it seems to give me a good vapor and flavor... but I'm lazy and i just get the premixed fluid from a 3rd party that has the best flavor of peppermint i have found.
