it seems that flavoring are all PG
it seems that most people abide by the 20-40% rule for flavoring per bottle
say 15ml 20 % of flavoring is 3mL of flavoring

that leaves 12mL left for VG, PG, Nicotine mix

questions:
1. if i want 100% vg, do i add all 12mL vg?
2. if i want 50% pg, 50% vg, do i add 6mL of each?
3. if i want say 6mg 20%pg, 80%vg nicotine in the mix, how do i obtain a 20%pg and 80%vg mix? do i add all 12mL with this nicotine 20%/80% mix? or do i add a portion of this nicotine mix with the flavors (ex. apple) and unflavored 20%/80% pg/vg ??

It's really not possible to have 100 VG. Yes you can find 100 USP VG and there are some flavors that claim to be VG based with no PG but it's still can't be 100 VG neither can nicotine with all VG since there is something else mixed in with the VG so it isn't pure VG. Don't go by 15-20% flavor since some flavors are week and others are super concentrated and some flavors are really over powering.

You can download a free juice calculator. I use e juice me up and it seems a lot of other ECF memebers do too.

thanks ~

im just not sure whether to get a PURE nicotine now or a nicotine mix with pg% & vg %, seems like pure nicotine is more dangerous

You can't get pure nicotine. Or if you can, you shouldn't. The highest level any sane vendor is selling is 100 mg/ml and even that requires safety handling precautions.

Have you found the DIY forum yet? => DIY E-Liquid
