I messed up

[Old Goat]

Hi everyone,

I was mixing a new batch and got distracted — I changed PG and VG brands, and they look almost identical except for a small label at the bottom. Ended up using PG instead of VG and only realized it after adding 70%. The mix felt too thin, then I noticed it. I just added 30% VG and kept going with the rest since I didn’t want to waste it.

I only use Zeus mesh, so I know this high PG ratio (70/30) might not be ideal. I thought about just making another 100ml to bring it back to a better ratio, but I’m out of some of the flavors I used — already placing a new order though. In the meantime, do you think I can vape it like that?

Then I made it worse — I grabbed my nic salts instead of freebase, again by mistake. Two of the bottles ended up with 10mg salt (4mL of 250mg in 100mL total). I’ve been vaping 6mg salt on the Zeus almost every night without any issue, so I’m kind of used to it… but 10mg in mesh is definitely pushing it. I’ve read that it’s too much for sub-ohm — I’d like to hear what you think. Is it still manageable if I don’t chain vape?

I’ve mixed around 2.4L for myself so far, never had a real problem — and now I messed up twice at the same time
Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.

I’m using the magnetic stirrer for the 70pg right now.

I guess I will make it 60vg/40pg adding other similar flavors.

Ah, the classic “distracted goat” scenario. You’ve officially joined the club of mixers who’ve stared at nearly-identical bottles and thought, yeah, that’ll do.

A few things:

70PG/30VG in a mesh RTA → it’s thin, but it’ll vape. Flavor might be sharper and throat hit more pronounced, and you’ll get a little more spitback than usual, but it’s not dangerous. Your Zeus mesh will handle it, just maybe don’t chain vape like a lunatic.

Nic salts at 10mg in sub-ohm → technically it’s pushing it. Throat hit is stronger and it’ll absorb faster, so take it easy. If you’re used to 6mg in the same setup, you’ll notice the punch, but moderate sessions are fine.

Fixing the ratio → your plan of making another batch to bring it closer to 60VG/40PG is smart. You could also top off with VG if you want a quicker correction without wasting your existing mix.

Honestly, this isn’t as bad as it feels. Mistakes like this happen to every goat in the herd. Just pace yourself with the nic salts, expect a thinner vape, and take notes for next time. You’re already ahead of most: 2.4L mixed and still standing.

Moral of the story: read labels twice, stir, then pour, then check again. Or get the goat magnet — it keeps your brain in line.

Yup, you gone and fucked that up.
Some times I drip a Nic salt juice into my RDA by mistake. Instant rewick. You win some, you lose some.
