How much Nic Base to add in?

[wallacecarey]

Just starting to expermient with making my own eliquid and need some help. I want to make 6 ml test volume of 30 mg nic and 50/50 pg/vg. I have a bottle of 60 mg nic base PG. Also have a bottle of 50/50 pg/vg no nic and bottles of pg and vg also no nic seperate. How much of the 60 mg nic base do I add to what to end up with the target 6ml volume at 30 mg nic? I will have to add to that the flavor and some sucralose sweetner. What would be the amounts?

regards,
Wallace

One thing that will help you would be the calculator here eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator...

If you're starting with 60mg, and looking for a 30mg base simply mix equal parts of each. But making 6mL would be a waste IMHO, after all it's just your base liquid. I'll make up a 120mL bottle of my 50/50 VG-PG base which then can be split out into smaller bottles before adding flavor. I usually add flavor at a low enough percentage that I don't worry about the 1-2% drop in nic level it might cause...

See thats why I need you guys. I never thought about making a volume of base then from there breaking it down to smaller volumes for the flavor blend trials. So if I add 50% VG to my 60mg nic pg I will have 50/50 30mg nic base for my start point.

Thanks,

Exactly, I use 20mg, so a 250mL bottle of 60mg, into a bottle filled to half way with PG and topped off with VG, gives me a 750mL bottle of 50/50 20mg, and another Makers Mark bottle instantly recycled...
