Shake N Vape Calculator
Creating the perfect vape juice mix is essential for achieving your desired throat hit and vapor production. Our Shake N Vape Calculator helps you determine the ideal ratio of Propylene Glycol (PG) to Vegetable Glycerin (VG) for your custom e-liquid.
How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your shake n vape mix, follow these simple steps:
- Enter the total volume of your e-liquid in milliliters (ml).
- Select your desired PG/VG ratio from the dropdown menu.
- Click "Calculate" to see the exact amounts of PG and VG needed.
The calculator will display the precise volumes of PG and VG required to achieve your desired ratio in the specified total volume.
Formula Explained
The calculation is based on the following simple formula:
Amount of PG = (Total Volume × PG Percentage) / 100
Amount of VG = (Total Volume × VG Percentage) / 100
Where:
- Total Volume = The total amount of e-liquid you want to create (in ml)
- PG Percentage = The percentage of Propylene Glycol in your desired ratio
- VG Percentage = The percentage of Vegetable Glycerin in your desired ratio
For example, if you want a 70/30 PG/VG ratio in 100ml of e-liquid:
- PG Amount = (100 × 70) / 100 = 70ml
- VG Amount = (100 × 30) / 100 = 30ml
Worked Example
Let's say you want to create 50ml of e-liquid with a 50/50 PG/VG ratio:
- Enter 50 in the "Total Volume" field.
- Select "50/50" from the ratio dropdown.
- Click "Calculate".
The calculator will show:
- PG: 25ml
- VG: 25ml
This means you need 25ml of Propylene Glycol and 25ml of Vegetable Glycerin to create your 50ml e-liquid with a balanced 50/50 ratio.
Common PG/VG Ratios
Different PG/VG ratios produce different vaping experiences. Here are some common ratios and their effects:
| Ratio | Throat Hit | Vapor Production | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100/0 | Strong | Low | Strong throat hit |
| 70/30 | Moderate | Moderate | Balanced experience |
| 50/50 | Mild | High | Smooth vaping |
| 30/70 | Very mild | Very high | Cloud chasing |
| 0/100 | None | Maximum | Maximum vapor production |
FAQ
- What is the difference between PG and VG?
- Propylene Glycol (PG) provides a strong throat hit and is good for flavor retention, while Vegetable Glycerin (VG) produces more vapor and is better for cloud chasing.
- Can I use other ratios besides the standard ones?
- Yes, you can use any PG/VG ratio you prefer. The calculator will work with any percentage combination that adds up to 100%.
- How accurate is this calculator?
- The calculator provides precise measurements based on the formula shown. For best results, use a calibrated measuring tool.
- Can I use this calculator for nicotine salt e-liquids?
- Yes, the calculator works for any type of e-liquid, including nicotine salt. The ratio calculation remains the same.
- What if I want to add nicotine to my e-liquid?
- After calculating your PG/VG amounts, you can add nicotine to the total volume. The nicotine will be dissolved in the PG or VG.
