I'm confused about mixing these two to achieve a 10ml batch @ 30mg 40/60-PG/VG with 15% flavor. Please help. TIA!
2 bases 48mgPG/100mg VG

Is your flavor PG? I think you can do this with the ejuice Me Up calculator.

The flavors are mostly TPA. I have a couple of Lorann's, also.
BTW I'm working with a BIG bottle (250ml) of the 48mg PG base, so I'd like to use as much of this in the mix as possible. The 100mg VG base was a 30ml door prize from Crystal Clear vaping at our last local vapers' meet. I'm learning that something closer to 40/60-50/50 PG/VG works best for me.
I'm using the TW Android app e-juice calculator, but it only gives room for one base in the cooking tab.

be careful with the 100mg stuff, but working with the 10ml bottle makes it easy with 100mg ejuice, its all about percentages, if you not good with them get a family member or teenager to help.
for 15mg juice in a 10ml bottle, you would add 1.5ml of the 100mg juice,
so if you want a 50/50 mix, it would be as follows 1.5 ml of the 100mg vg ejuice, 3.5ml vg, 3ml of pg 2ml of flavoring(assuming you are doing 20% flavor).
there is a spread sheet and the ejuice calculator to help, but it really helps to understand the concept first, and to sanity check your numbers, if you are new working with 100mg stuff is extremely dangerous.

Think of it this way: you want 10 mL of 30mg/mL juice. That's a total of 300 mg of nic in the batch.
You want 40% PG; 40% of 10 mL = 4 mL. 4 x 48 mg/mL = 192 mg of nic in 4 mL of 48mg PG.
You're using 15% flavor; .15 x 10 mL = 1.5 mL of flavoring. Volume so far is 4 mL + 1.5 mL = 5.5 mL
You need more nic to come up to 30 mg/mL, so add 1.0 mL of 100 mg VG (close enough). Volume is now 6.5 mL.
Add 3.5 mL of plain VG to bring the total to 10 mL.
If you really want to get picky about PG/VG ratios you can figure the flavoring in as part of the PG portion, as it usually has a PG base.
I'll give you the "easy" way to figure this out for this formula and any other. You really don't need a calculator...just some math and a logical approach. Figure out the total amount (not volume) of nicotine you want and calculate from there.
You want 10mL x 30mg/mL...a total of 300mgs. 60% of 300 is 180mg...divide by 100mg/mL VG = 1.8mL of 100mg VG. 40% of 300 is 120...divide by 48mg/mL PG = 2.5mL of 48mg/mL PG. 15% of 10mL = 1.5 mL of flavor. Total volume is 5.8mL. You can't use just these 2 bases and flavoring without a diluent. So if you want to maintain a 40/60 PG/VG ratio, you need to make a 40/60 stock and add the remaining volume (10-5.8 = 4.2mL) of that. Or...60% of the remaining 4.2mL = 2.52mL VG and 40% of the remaining 4.2mL = 1.68mL PG. Recipe is done.
Easy enough? I tried to make it clear for you. Hope this helps!

Whoops...forgot about the PG/VG ratio and the difference in concentrations. For a total of 60% VG, that's 6mL total. Since you'd add 1.8mL of your base VG, that leaves 4.2 mL of plain VG (the remaining diluent volume) instead of the PG/VG mix.
Assuming, of course, there's no VG in the flavor...but that getting kind of picky.

I'm not real picky about exact ratios as long as the vapor's there lol. Thanks for the help, y'all!!
Download the software that aprioristic linked & install it; at the very top click 'tools' then click 'nic combine' you will never again have to torture yourself with complex calculations when combining two different nic juices!
