Usually we will go something like this:
50/50 PG/VG
7% Flavor1
5% Flavor2
This way it's easier for us to read and interpret. For example, this i would read it as a half-half mixture of PG VG, with 7% of flavor 1. Simply said, for thicker vapes they would push to 80/20 VG/PG as base and the rest as flavoring.

It's fun to DIY, gotta have patience and that little curiosity to tweak and tweak!
Ya I took the flavorings as PG based, as they are watery, hence I consider them into the pg percentage..
I saw a YouTuber 'Amsterdamvape', on DIYing, seems easy enough for me to understand
50/50 is simple terms, but when you add in the flavorings and/or the nic, then the ratio no longer stand as correct no? Especially when you adds up the total ml you are making

We normally assume it's PG-based flavouring. And even so, following the percentiles it's already accounted for the total proportion of PG in the liquid.Ya I took the flavorings as PG based, as they are watery, hence I consider them into the pg percentage..

nope. pharmacies dont sell needles anymore to prevent drug abuse, they only have the tiny ones mainly for diabetics to use.... i went hunting before....
on a side note.... youll probably need blunt tip needles...... you know.... the kind that they use for administering medication to pets......
like @plumeofred I use weighing method, its much simpler and you don't have to do much cleaning after.
As to needles, most of them are stashed in the back. (I still have quite a fair bit that I don't really use any more)
Also use a calculator like e-juice me up, after awhile you'll realise or actually find your favourite balance. Also 50/50 tend to bring out a lot of bitterness aftertaste, try 60/40 or 70/30 VG/PG instead.

Yup, you have to account for the varying densities.
Water 1 ml = 1 gram
PG 1 ml = 1.04 gram
VG 1 ml = 1.26 gram ( may vary depending on water content )
0.04 grams per ml in PG doesn't really matter when mixing.
Mixin by weight with VG you do need to keep the higher density in mind.
Flavours are almost always PG-based, so they don't matter either.
Spending 15 bucks on a digital precision scale was one of my smarter investments
Pardon me, but may I ask, for the PG, u guys just use PH flavoring as it contains PG? Or did u guys get the actual PG locally?
I'm currently at PH and found VG.. But I doubt they have VG.. So if u guys get PG locally, may I know where u guys got it?
You found VG but doubt they have VG?, for me PG I use whatever comes with the flavourings, and VG separately.
Sorry.. I meant I found VG but doubt they have PG.. All the Gs are making me blur.. Lol..
If u use PG from whatever flavouring u find that contains PG, then if u wanna make a 70/30 VG/PG, u add 30% flavouring? Won't that be too much flavouring?
Hahaha, as for your question, I think there are calculators out there that should be able to give you a proper mix level.
If not, we will have to wait for the diy veterans to reply here, because i usually just agak agak only
Haha okay.. No problem..
I saw s shop is selling USP PG and also VG.. I guess I will just get both from there.. Solve the problem.. It's cheaper some more..

Now now, you may wanna edit your post.. I don't think it's acceptable to post sources openly etc
Oops.. Done.. But i actually found that shop bcos Google actually found a lot of people mentioning s shop in ECF.. Lol..
Lol, that's why they say Google is your friend around here a lot.. Well, I think just to err on the safe side, better to just keep to googling then posting it openly here la
what are your favorite TPA mixes?
for me it will be banana nut bread 8% and cotton candy 2%!
