Take the 36mg... mix 2 parts with 1 part pure PG. Or in equation form:

2/3 36mg + 1/3 PG = 1 24mg.

when doing the mix this way will there be a noticable change to the tabaco flavor?

Short answer, yes. I don't use tobacco flavors anyway, so not much of a loss to me.

yeah i have some 0mg tabacco on order but thought if the taste loss wasnt soo bad it might save cash in the long run just getting a bottle of PG and. I may do that in the future and just add flavorings but for now I need for it to be as close to a real smoke experience to try to ween me off them and on to ecigs.

You know, I thought the same thing about the flavor. My first week I only used tobacco carts. Then once I got into DIY, I realized that I didn't really LIKE the flavor of tobacco, it was just what I was used to. There are so many things out there that taste better. I've never looked back.

I got 16mg and I'm trying to make it stretch.
I think next time I'll try 24mg.

So, Half and half, will work? for example 5 drops of the 16mg and 5 drops of the PG.

Hi Ann. I'm from Virginia, too. Gloucester.

Your best savings would come if you got 36 mg.
If you want an 12 mg batch, put 10 drops of 36 mg with 20 drops of flavorings, PG, or whatever you're mixing in. That would make your batch nearly equivalent to the "low" juice I've seen. I'm really new, so if someone corrects me, listen to them instead of me. : )

Since you have the 16 now, you can turn it into 8 (which is pretty low) really easily by mixing it half and half with other stuff (like PG or flavor....your mix would be half juice and half all other stuff.)

Or to make 12 mg stuff out of your 16, put 3 drops of juice with 1 drop of other stuff.(or 6 drops juice +2 drops other, or 24 drops juice + 8 drops other).

Wow, I am beginning to see the light!
Thank you so much for your help.
Oh, I live near the Bristol (nascar race track) on the VA. side. Southwest part of VA.

I'm on the coast, but we can think like we're neighbors....same state and all!
Like I said, I'm really new, but feel free to pick my brain if it would help. I'm reasonably good at math and at obsessing about a new hobby.
