I’ve asked @daath but he’s not sure. I can’t figure it out. Somehow these base recipes are possible to create without being forced to include any PG, VG or Nic. Here are two examples - http://tjek.nu/r/2xeq and http://tjek.nu/r/1xa3
When you mix concentrated flavors directly with one another they create one completely different flavor. If you are trying to achieve different flavors in your e-liquid then it is necessary to mix them separately within their own base then combine each flavor base that you desire in your e-liquid. My method that works well for me is as follows.
I vape primary VG. ; therefore, I make 120ml bottles of single flavor e-liquid that contains no nicotine and only 10% solution of PG to aide as a flavor carrier. My bases are predominantly creams, caramel, butterscotch, and various types of vanilla that take longer to steep. I also use a milk frother to mix my base e-liquid. I froth each bottle for 2-3 minutes every day for two weeks the custards up to a month. I let each bottle breathe each day for 30 minutes to allow the evaporation and malliardation process to occur. One must remember not to allow their e-liquid to breathe to long because just like ale, e-liquid will lose flavor if left uncapped to long. After each base is steeped I can add these bases to fruit concentrated flavors. Froth again, test vape, if needed steep a few more days. This may seem like a long process but I make e-liquid daily. At any given time I have over 50 bottles of e-liquid that’s been steeping from 1-30 days. So I’m always in supply. I make my 120ml bases once a week to be sure that I always have the base I need. With this process when I vape butterscotch, caramel, and sweet cream each flavor is distinct with each puff. I hope this helps and didn’t confuse you. E-liquid is actually a art, a skill learned with lots of mistakes. I’ve been making mine for over two years now. My wish for Christmas would be a shake and vape recipe!
Thank you Hannah. Lots of good information there. But that’s not really what I’m after. In the calculator when you want to enter a base like this, how do you do that and it not include any PG VG or Nic. So I’m speaking strictly of the calculator.
Now let me say that on 2 previous occasions (probably within just a day or two of each other) I tried to do this by simply having flavors total 100% and zero nic, 100% pg. It just wouldn’t save and I would have to lower one of the flavors by just a percent - enough to get it to save.
They say the definition of insanity is doing to same thing over and over again, expecting a different result So I thought why not, I’m a little cracked anyway. So i just tried it again. This time it worked. Saved my base with all flavoring and didn’t force me to have any diluent. I don’t know if Lars did anything to help with this or if there was some problem before but it’s working now. Case closed
Thanks man. Yeah I was typing when you were it seems. Really this had me baffled because previously when I tried I did just that, 100% pg and zero nic. It just wouldn’t save. That’s been a few weeks ago now though. Glad to know I can do it now.
Thanks. I’ve known about this but there’s just no way to save it. Whatever the issue was previously though where the calculator was preventing me from creating one from 100% flavorings is obviously not doing that anymore. Working perfectly now.
When you set up one like that does it show what % to mix it? That’s why I use the other method because you get added details. As long as you save the recipe, it’s only 1 click to make a base.
Yes, I get that too. It’s really all good now that I can create one without it forcing me to add PG. This was obviously just an anomaly when it happened before.
