Mixing For POD systems ( pod system recipe ideas )

Basically if you are using 6mg/ml of freebase nicotine, then use the same 6mg/ml of salt nicotine. You don’t want to increase your addiction to nicotine. If the vape output of the lower wattage pod systems are making you crave cigs because they don’t produce as much vape/nicotine in each intake, then just bump it up a tad like try 9mg/ml of salt nic.

Good luck, yea I always keep some store bought 50mg Nkd 100 stuff handy.

Im sure you know but… I make sure to get Nic salts in VG base only, since so much of it goes into my recipes. It’s pre-blended well also. Or else you could end up with bad lop-sided mixes like (60PG/40VG.) Because remember up, to 20% of it can be PG based flavoring also. It could be hard to to get even a 50PG/50VG recipe or a nice 40PG/60VG mix or more cloud producing mixes 30PG/70VG, 20PG/80VG, MAX VG.

It’s best to try out “mock” PG/VG numbers in the calculator first to see if you can even make what you want to make if you’re thinking of using a PG only Nic Salt Base or a Blend for high nic salt recipes.

When the Nic Salt VG base is at room temp, it’s only a one time process of putting it into a clean dropper bottle, then it’s just as easy as adding VG to recipes.

I just stick to mg/ml and the PG%/VG%'s in the links below. For me it is the only thing closest to a cig replacement quitting solution, it is just like a real cig buzz-wise.

The thing that confuses new and some old DYI’s is the 3%-5% thing.

But if you put in the highest strength nic (you can get) in the calculator and set the target to 30mg/ml and 50mg/ml then you will see it does come to 3% and 5%. But I would never use or buy pure nicotine. I don’t want to have to dress in a hazmat suit to handle it.

I would rather put in 50% of 48mg/ml nic salts base or 25% of 100mg/ml nic salts base to get my 24-25mg/ml for use. For low watt POD devices 1.0 ohm or higher only.

I use this info below as a good starting place to start mixing for PODs and high nic salt e-juice.

heres my first pod recipe using 25mg/ml nic salts . A blast ffrom the past , kilos dewberry cream was always a very good juice imo , i used the RFSC SM bc it has a creamy feel to it and used all these flavors a bit higher than i would especially when mixed … 7.5ml of nicotine in a 30ml holy moly…

do you let the recipes steep a couple days due to the amount of Nicotine ??? i know ill make sure to shake the shit out of b4 filling pod .

2 Likes

Nice

yes id do the normal steeping ranges 5-7 days fruits for that.

I notice you got the PG nic. Im glad you were able to get it up to 25% nic

Yes Shake a lot. PG high nic. “Hot Spots” Extra shaking prob a good idea. Im to afraid of hitting one with high nic. So I stick to VG it’s blended good at the mfg’s plant.

Do you really need to go that high on forest fruit in a pod recipe?

Some of these 15% could be lowered a bit. Pods are weird need to-the-ceiling type flavoring.
But the FFM one I tested and it’s not over powering and came from a good clone recipe… here

I just replaced the sweetener to (cap) at max range it’s works

Oh, yea, that recipe… I thought it was just an exception to the rule…

By rule I mean the normal mixing percentage

Pod can be mixed as low as 5% as well as high. I guess it depends on your taste and the flavor (s) used.

In the original mix the creator uses tfa sweetener which is a mix out of em and sucralose, at high percentage. This probably mutes the floral high notes of Forrest fruit and softens its edges overall with the sucralose. Like in this case the choice of that sweetener makes sense lol.

Maybe the creator doesn’t taste floral who knows. If you wanted to try it, go for it, can always lower or start way lower :slight_smile:

Ok Ill try… Yes I left a note in that Recipe it’s probably one of the last notes.

I’ll try lower, Just need something to fill the NIC void right now.

To its like vaping a Pine Tree but it’s nice. :relaxed:

Well you used super sweet (cap) this contains citric&malic acid on top of sucralose at higher concentration. It’s not a replacement.

There’s a reason tfa sweetener was used here. Also it’s a 2015 recipe and I would go way lower but that’s just me. I’m also not sure how your pod will like that high sweetener content lol.

If you like it great, if not try lower lol

so nice having your input! ty :hugs:

I did see that… ppl saying the real recipe taste comes from the EM. But ive been on a EM reduction kick. I was gonna do 1.5 SS and 4% Cotton candy.

No way will its go into my Brezze POD, I get the feeling it’a smack me in the face with something I dont expect just from smelling it… just the smaller pod.

Edit… its like pine tree needle tea in smaller pods.

Can I ask why this combo and why that high? Cotton candy is still EM.
