Just a quick math check

So I have been reading about mixing but have yet to order any supplies. I want to be sure I understand the ratios properly.

Is this correct? Assuming I buy 70mg Nicotine Liquid and I use 20% flavourings and I am mixing to 18mg strength the ratio of PG to Nic I would use would be approximately 2:1. this is for ordering purposes rather than exact measurments while mixing.

The way I see it for 30ml @ 18mg/ml using 70mg/ml liquid I would use the following amounts

Nic Juice 7.8ML
PG 16.2ML
Flavouring 6ml

Yup that's somewhere near the mark

it may be an idea to get a small bottle of vg too...either from boots or from tesco/asda...presuming your nic is pg your gonna have 100% pg mix...i didnt like it so either get 70/30 or 50/50 now

Thanks for the tip, I was going to try pure pg as I had heard you have to thin vg and didnt want the complication at first. I guess its not too much trouble but is just another thing to worry about.

If mixing I don't dilute the vg...but if using 100% then would need didiluting methods and tastes vary from person to person

 

[KulrMeStoopid]

100% pg is going to dry you out and if you are sensitive to it, wreak havoc on your skin.

I never dilute my VG and I use 50 / 50 mixes

 

[MightyMouth]

Well that settles it for me then 50/50 it is. If I am not diluting do I need to use any specific equipment or should it work with anything?
