best way to get 12mg

[dmj4]

I don't have any diy stuff, yet. What is going to be the best combination of nic, pg and vg for me to hit around 12mg at 80pg/20vg or 70/30. In that range is good. One of my vendors juice is even 60/40. I have to have strong flavors, so most will have a high end percentage of flavor. my vendor juices are all extra flavor. I know flavoring affects the ratio, but i don't have to hit exactly 12mg every time i mix. In fact the main reason for trying diy is to try and get some juices I can taste better.

Thank you

Since 12 is a Multiple of 48, could you start with 48mg Pure PG Nicotine base?

And then put 1 Part 48mg Nicotine Base, 2 parts Pure PG and a Tad Less than 1 Part Pure VG. That would leave room for some flavoring and the mix should be "Close" to 12mg @ 75%PG | 25%VG

Somebody double check my Math because I'm doing this off the Top of My Head.

Thank you for the response. i am trying to get an order together.

Sounds good.

But Please post when you get your Nicotine Base. And I would do a Little reading in the DIY section while you are waiting for it to arrive.

i generally don't even bother trying to make up for the flavor, i just deal with it being a little diluted. but i also don't really use much flavoring, about 2 drop per mL depending on the flavor some seem to be more potent than others... plus i use 24mg so its already pretty strong. but how much flavor do you mean when you say a lot?

because it think 10% would be a lot and that would only drop you 12mg/mL to 10.8mg/mL so just a little more than 1mg i feel like is fine. but if you really want it to be 12mg (or really really close) get a stronger strength like zoi said and dilute to like 13.32mgs (111% of 12) and then add your 10% of flavor (13.32 x .9 [or 90%] = 11.988mgs)

its always fun to make sure you remember your basic algebra to if you want something stronger just add on the percentage to 100 and go from there until you get something that is basically the mgs you want. if you want 15% i just multiply the mgs you want by your flavor percent added to 100 (you will see you need to add a little more than that), and then multiply the total by the flavor percent subtracted from 100: 12 x 1.15=13.8; 13.8 x .85=11.73.... 12 x 1.16=13.92; 13.92 x .85=11.832.... 12 x 1.17=14.04, 14.04 x 11.93...)

lol i just realized i did that math the hard way. just take the mg your want in your blend divided by (100% minus the flavor%). so for example 12mg/.85=14.118mg/mL and then add 15% flavor

...derp

Nothing wrong with Doing a Little Math.

I love Math, but have forgotten my Algebra. i will get a brush up. I'm just happy both your long way and short way of calculating made sense to me. LOL

Thanks

That's what I like about Math. You take the Long Way around or the Short Way, but you should get the Same Answer.

Math makes my head hurt I vape 12mg and when I mix, I usually do 15ml at a time and like 20% flavor usually. So for me, it's easy...

15ml of 12mg recipe using 60mg nic =
3ml flavor
3ml 60mg nic
9ml PG/VG
