when calculating the PG / VG , do you include the nic base and the flavor . For example in my case the Flavor is in PG liquid and I usually add about 5 mils of it to my juice . Do I need to consider the flavor as PG liquid and then subtract it from the total amount of PG i need and only add whats left of the pure PG ?

Yes - most flavors are in PG base and should be included in the calculation.
Same with the nic base -
You can figure total mls of PG, total mls of VG, and total mgs of nic - BUT
I highly recommend a calculator!
If you use a PC, this one is super - it lets you "save as" to adjust your recipe for next time, etc.
For instance, I had to mix a batch of my favorite flavor using 60mg nic/VG base last time - it was on sale - and a couple clicks, it did the math for me perfectly without worrying if I got it right...

yes figure the PG/VG base in the flavor and or nic base as well. If you use 100mg nic base the amount is so small it does not really matter though. But if you are like me and sometimes use 20% flavoring that base does matter.
I found this calculator on a thread here a couple of days ago. I think it is the best one out there that I have found to date.

You include All SOURCES of PG and VG in the calculations, The base, the nic, the flavorings ALL can have PG and/or VG in them.
Yes. Say you're making 100ml with 10% flavor and 12mg of nic. IF the flavor is PG based and so is the nic, that's included into the final amount of PG in the juice. If you make a 70vg/30pg juice, then you would only add an additional 8ml of pg. The rest would be vg.
