If you want to make 60ml of juice at 70/30 multiply 60 by 70 percent for VG and 30 percent for PG, which is 42 VG and 18PG in total.
Using a standard 70/30 10ml nic shot makes life easier as you just count it as 7ml of VG and 3ml of PG.
To make a total of 42ml of VG you will need 35ml of straight VG as another 7ml will come from the 70/30 10ml nic shot to make 42ml in total of VG, which is 70 percent of 60ml.
For the PG first figure out what concentration of flavouring you want to use. If you intend to use 12 percent for example. multiply the total of 60ml of juice by 12 percent which is 7.2ml of concentrate. As you need 18ml of PG in total - use 7.2ml flavour concentrate, 3ml from the nic shot and add 7.8ml of straight PG.
Using a mixing calculator is easier as you don't have to crunch the numbers in your head, just don't confuse the VG and PG.
if you get them backwards you'll end up with juice as thin as tapwater - and the high concentration of PG could give you the throat hit from hell.
Edit - sorry bud. It took me so long to type this you'd already got your answer ages ago lol. But you can yse any nic shot - just count how many mls of VG and PG it has and include them in your figures.
