ALLLLL messed up !!

Ok ... I got curious as to why I'm getting off and on cravings for nic. I've been using (along with web bought) juices I have been mixing up myself in 3 ml test batches. I've been using the E-juice Me Up to DIY. Today, I decided to check out the "20" drops per ml that's on there automatically. Going by drops, using the bottles that I drop from ... I got PG at 23 drop per ml, VG at 14 per, and the flavoring at 32 per. I'm surprised I haven't poisoned myself ... other than it went the other way and cut the nic way down, also the flavoring. (thought it was my taste buds still outta whack) So, I can use syringes to measure ... but... how do I use the calculator now. I'm wondering if I have to plug in each count separately , take a reading for each PG?VG?flavoring .I could print out one for the PG count to start with, change the "count per ml" amount for the VG , and then do it again for the flavoring. I could then cross out the wrong count on the original for each. ....How do you guys do it when the counts per ml are all different ??? They are so far apart in count that I can't use an "average", even for the millimeters. I'm hitt'in the store bought only for a while to get my nic, or I'll be digging out the left over stinkies. I knew something was off, as I have not cut back, and have not had a problem until vaping my own mixes part time (which wasn't bad, just a little short on flavoring and NIC). Thanks for any info.

If you make your own stuff, i recommend using syringes and all that rather than counting drops. What i will do typically is to make what i call Batch liquid (of a certain strength) first - say 30 ml, at 24 mg. Then decant that into smaller bottles and add flavour to each as you like. It'll reduce the overall nic a bit depending on how much you add ofc.

There's a good reason for this: first - i have a known (ish) strength of Batch liquid until it's all used, and second - my wife hates the flavours i do.

in the diy eliquid section there are some very good calculators you may find helpful too.

Thanks Super, I was thinking about making a pre-mixed base and adding flavors like you suggested.
I just thought when I moved from making 3 ml (testers), at a time, to 30ml,
I would really be reducing the nic to much.
Then I would be back where I started, not enough nic.
I appreciate your suggestion, and will do some more research on here.
Maybe I could just increase the nic in the base to make up for the difference in volume increase.
Sorry about the conflict over flavors ... Look at it this way ... your supply won't be running out !

I think I'm using the same calculator and it shows the ml right before the drops. You may need a small syringe to do the fractional ml though.
