Changing a VG/PG ratio with the right tools.

[Cartomizer]

I have a 60/40 liquid at 6mg that I want to make 80VG. I understand the nicotine content will drop and so will the flavor impact. I have ejuice me up calculator but without knowing how many ml I want as an end result I can't determine how much to add. Any help would be appreciated

Here is what I have so far let me know if I'm even close lol

12.6ml of the original 60/40 juice
17.4ml of VG

Is this right to have an 80vg/20 end result?

Yeal I wish ejuice Me Up would give an option for a straight answer or target answer. Anyways, it's a little more work but basically just lie to it about mg ratios or whatever and work them out separately or with the nic combine screen.

Also, the nic combine is found in the tools menu or the little x3 icon at top left. Play around with the app some more and you'll find what I mean, or post back with an example and I'll try to talk you through it. Not that I'm an expert but I do use that app quite a bit.

Anyways, assuming pg as the first number, combining 12.6ml of 60/40 @ 6mg with 17.4 of VG will give you 30ml 25.2/74.8 @ 2.52mg. Assuming vg as the first number gives 30ml of 83.2/16.8 @2.52mg. Remember that pg is first number in first example and vg is first number in the second. Hope this helps.

How much of the 60/40 juice do you have to start with, and is that 60%PG/40%VG or the other way around? Let's try an example and see if that helps:

Let's say you have 15ml of 60% PG / 40% VG. Since we'll be adding only VG, the amount of PG remains the same in the finished product as it is to begin with. Here we have something that's the same both before and after -- that means we can make an equation. 60% of 15ml (the amount of PG in the starting juice) is equal to 20% of how much (the amount of PG in the desired final product)? So, in algebraic notation, that looks like this:

.6 * 15 = .2 * x

This is why we did all those word problems back in high school. Now, we have just turned a real-world problem into a "solve for x" type equation that can be answered simply as follows:

x * .2 = 15 * .6
x * .2 = 9
(x * .2) / .2 = (9) / .2
x = 9 / .2
x = 45

So with 15ml of 60% PG liquid, there are 9ml of PG and, by process of elimination, 6mg (40%) of VG. That same 9ml of PG is also 20% (the desired target amount) of a liquid if there are 45ml of that liquid in total. In order to reach that total, we simply add 30ml of VG to the 15ml of liquid that we started with.

Next, we must check our work. Is 9ml equal to 20% of 45? Yes, .2 * 45 = 9, so the remaining 36ml or 80% is the VG content. This is of course all ignoring the Nic and flavoring percentages but without knowing how those factor in to the initial 60/40, then we can't know how they'll figure in the result, either.

Hopefully this will give you the tools you need to find the answer on your own but if you're still having trouble, go ahead and post the numbers you are working with and I or someone else will help you out.

Since you mention vg as the first number in your question, I'm going to assume vg is the first number in your 60/40 juice. If that's true then just double the amount of your juice and you'll have 3mg nic and 80/20 vg/pg.

In other words for each 5ml of juice, add 5ml of vg and you'll have 10ml of 80/20 vg/pg @ 3mg. Hope that helps.
