Lil bit of confusion on %'s

[pai]

Hi folks
newly registered here on the forum
i just received my first batch of supplies and after looking at a few mixing calculators (all giving the same quantity results) reading some posts here, and watching some stuff on youtube, and i think i found the answer to most my questions, including the question i wanted to ask you fine folks, but i just thought it would be best to double check before going ahead and dipping a syringe.
The thing im mainly wondering is pg/vg mix, the calculators dont seem to take into account if your nic base is pg (that i can see) so the numbers i got just to make a small test run.

nic base 54 mg (pg)
desired 18mg
10 ml bottle

3.3 ml nic
5.7 ml pg/vg
1 ml flavouring

the flavour im pretty sure is trial and error here as one i got is a lorann apple, and i could smell it through the sealed jiffy bag (and i saw on a topic here that lorann is a pretty potent concentrate) others are 28 vapes blackcurrant and cinnammon,
not to worried here.
my query was should i be including the pg from the nic base into calculating for example a 70/30 mix it look more like :

3.3 ml nic base
3 ml pg
2.7 ml vg
then flavourings

thanks guys

The figures you would need would be as follows for a 70/30 mix: -

3.3ml nic base
3.0ml vg

The remaining 3.7ml will be pg AND flavouring, as most flavours are mixed into PG as well. so for example if you were mixing at 15% flavouring it would be: -

1.5ml of Flavouring and 2.2ml of pg

If it was 20% flavouring it would be: -

2.0ml of Flavouring and 1.7ml of pg.

You get the idea.

On a side note, I know I am going to be biased, but really the only calculator you need is @jrob3rts one. The best by far, no exceptions, and if you dont have an android device, simply just buy one for this alone
