@Ethan diy, the thing is, it’ll be easier to store if you leave the bulk of it at 100 mg/ml, and just dilute maybe a quarter of it down at a time using the 50/50 method you mentioned. That’s what I do, anyway. I pour 60 ml of 100 ml/mg into my trusty mixing bottle (catsup bottle from Walmart) then add 60 ml of pg (or vg) and I have 120 ml of the 50 mg/ml nic juice to make a bunch of ejuice without having to mess with the 100 mg/ml stuff for quite awhile.

Right sounds good however i would want to transfer it into smaller bottles so that there wont be ang air in there so as not to harm the nicotine
If you have a bottle of 1 liter of 100 mg/ml nic in VG and you add 1 liter of PG...It can not possibly be 50% PG 50% VG. There will be a small amount more of PG. The NIC is part of the volume
Even if its vg based?.... if so would you know what that amount would be?
100mg/ml Nicotine in VG base is 10% Nicotine and 90% VG. 1 liter is 1000 ml. So you have in that liter 100 ml nicotine 900 ml VG by volume. When you add 1000 ml PG to it. You end up with 2000 ml which is 50 mg/ml nicotine or 5%, 45% VG and 50% PG by volume.
Look like I can't post what I wanted to (URL)
Find a simple eliquid calulator and just play with the base calulations.

Yeah it didnt post the address....but its ok it looks like ill be able to handle it ... i read part of it
LOL, glad you found it. Guess I should have left the post contents.
Play with that calculator. Very simple for showing how base dilutions work. Gives you a good comfort level and double check without the complications of flavorings and more advanced calculators.
Since I vape unflavored, I really don't have a need for anything more complicated than this.
Good luck.
It looks like some sites are filtered by the forum and removed from URLs. Think I remember seeing this in the past.
If we block a site, it's for very good reasons. Thou shalt not attempt to get around those filters.
The best reason I can see for diluting your nic base is that you won't have to handle nicotine in pure VG form. I have to do it as I am PG sensitive, and adding PG to the mix will mean it's far easier to handle, which is worth it in my opinion and you also will be starting out with a premixed "base" to which you just need to add flavors. Since most flavors are PG, if you flavor around 10% or close to it, your final mix will likely reach its 50/50 target. So you can dilute it 1:1, and then flavor accordingly once you need to. It will wind up being a lot less steps for DIY. Best of luck!
