Help with DIY e-Juice

[TechMan]

Hello All,

I am trying my hand at making my own e-Juice and could use some help.

I want to end up with a 60/40 PG/VG mix at 10mg for a night vape.

Working with DIY 99.99% pure PG, 99.7% pure VG and 48mg of Nicotine.

I used the eJuice Me Up Calculator and came up with the following. Please see attached.

Being that this is the first time I do this. I would feel better if you more knowledgeable folks would check me on this and let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Thank you in advance!

A quick glance and a few calculations and it looks good to me. The nicotine strength should be correct if the measurements on your stock juice is correct. I didn't do out the math for the PG/VG mix, but looks reasonable.

Looks right but remember drops sizes vary depending on many factors. 20 per ml is ballpark.

Thanks Tee, I think my juice is nicotine free. I ordered it with the One Stop DIY Master Kit but i'll double check it.

Thank You Liv2Ski!
I will keep that in mind and maybe use a syringe.

Check the OSDIY kit. She probably threw in a few pipettes. The 3ML ones have 1ml markings on them. Anway the ones I have from them do. If that is the case it will make your life much easier. I always use pipettes since with the sryinge it can be difficult to pull the juice from the bottle. Best of luck and enjoy your new found hobby!

You don't say what flavoring you're using, but 20% is higher than I'd start with. I usually try 10% on a new flavor since it's easier to add more than it is to take it back out. Also, as Liv2Ski says drops are ballpark figures, if you have small syringes that's really the way to get accurate measurements. VG especially will get thicker or thinner at different temperatures which affects drop size. If you use a syringe you can record your measurements for repeatability if you decide to mix the same recipe again.

Thanks for the kind words.
It sure does have the 3ML pipettes. They threw in some smaller ones as well. I found a really nice gift bag in the box.

Hey cskent, 10% it is. I let my buds lead me on that one. I love sweets and I am hoping vaping will do for them what it has done for smoking. But it makes sense to start low and work my way up if needed. Thanks for that and the rest of the info.

There is a DIY section. Check their sticky threads for a guide - it has recommended percents for almost every flavoring of several companies.
