About to take the plunge on diy mixing

[Blazing Atoms]

Hi all.

Qith all the chatter about flavour bans etc i have invested a little money on these items. I have no idea what im doing yet. But i assume with the base mix (70/30) i just add flavour and nicotine (looking to make 50ml a time of juice)

And i presume the pg and vg are what i would mix for different pg and vg ratios?

My end goal is a 50ml shortfill to which i add 10ml of 20mg nicotine shot for a 3mg juice.

Hope it all makes sense as i still cant see shit!!!

Base mix is just VG and PG mixed at a 70% VG / 30% PG ratio. If you're wanting to mix to 50/50, just use the PG and VG you got. Flavours are normally PG, so you need to take that into account.

No im just looking to make 70/30 mixes sir. So what do i need to consider when using that pre mixed base and concentrate?

Let's say you want to make 50ml of juice ready for a 10ml nic shot and that you want 16% concentrate (may be too much, but this is just an example).

Start with 40ml of 70/30 base. That's 28ml of VG and 12ml of PG.

Add 10ml of concentrate. That's now 28ml of VG and 22ml of PG. The ratio has plummeted to 56/44.

Now, if you add a 100VG Nic shot. That's now 38ml of VG and 22ml of PG. The ratio is now 63/37.

70/30 base just messes the whole thing up, it is far easier to use VG and PG separately.

Seperately, for the same result but at 70/30.

32ml of VG.
10ml 100VG Nic shot.
Total = 42ml of VG
10ml of concentrate.
8ml of PG.
Total = 18ml of PG (concentrate is PG).

42VG/18PG = 70/30 VG/PG.

THIS 100%. Mix to exactly the ratio you want and ejuice calculators will love you.

I don't know if there are any calculators out there that handle 70/30 base??

My man that was super helpful, thank you very much?

I've not come across one for the reason you already gave.

Ok gents ive whacked some numbers into the linked software. If im correct im laughing if not back to drawing board!

50ml of 3mg ry4

Nicotine at 18mg 100vg = 8.33ml

Pg = 31ml

Vg = 6.67ml

RY4 = 4ml

im a bit confused as nic shots are 10ml in uk
