50/50 is fine for MTL tanks but you might find a higher VG ratio is better for DL.
Thanks to your advice on distilled water I no longer use 50/50, or 60PG/40VG, last 50/50 mixes I did were a month ago.
The 60VG/40PG mixes with 5% distilled water work with every MTL tank/coil I have.

Yes i always use a calculator.

Previously i used really concentrated aroma bottles.

Half a bottle from atmoslab (also Greek) used to be ok for a 200ml concoction.

No comparison. Thus, PG concentration was close to 50%...
I have something cool for you. Here is the link to the thread so you know it's genuine stuff.
New Calculator to try

And here's the download link
Juice Calculator

That's the most advanced, and the most useful calculator I've seen so far. It does everything I had to manually calculate so far. Will take some time to explore all the options but man, time not lost. Check it out!

Just to show you confusing this DIY can get, I have MTL tanks, restricted DL tanks and pods so I mix different juices for each:
70VG/30PG 6 mg, 65VG/35PG 12 mg and 50/50 18 mg.
I guess I'm gonna have to experiment and find my ideal percentage but up to now 50/50 has been working for me. I go low on nic. Always around 3mg. Anything else is either too weak or too strong for me. :D

@https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/members/mike_gr.366427/, it's always a good idea to mix up small batches to test a new flavor mix. You can always ramp up the recipe with your final mix to create a large batch once you are happy with the mix percentages. Keep records of what's in the mix

If you haven't already, download a DIY juice calculator and use it to change the amount of juice to mix. Start with a small batch and once it's right, change the amount in the juice calculator to create a larger batch. 5ml is a good start. If the 5ml test size is right you are good to go. If it's not, try again.
