DIY Question

[Deeo]

I have been ordering 0 nic now and just realized i can buy E liquid Unflavoured Pg-Vg. Then order the E liquid concentrate flavorings. Therefore making my own
e juice for cheaper. My question is i have looked at ejuice calculators and trying to figure out how much flavoring to put in it? However every ejuice calculator
wants me to put in my nic base. It also has a spot for water? I thought i just order the E liquid Unflavoured Pg-Vg and add some drops of the E liquid concentrate flavorings? Do i have to add water or anything else? If not then how many flavoring drops would i put into a 30ml bottle with only adding one flavor?

It depends on the flavor and the brand of the flavor,as different flavors vary as to how strong they are,even the same flavor from different brands could be quite different,strawberry from comapany #1 could be good at 5% where as strawberry from company #2 may need 15% to be good.There is a diy section that has alot of good starting % for all the different brands,but it all comes down to what tastes good to you.

Why don't you just buy the PG and VG separate and buy the flavors at the same time.
On eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator you can put in 0 for the nicotine level and target, mix PG 50% / VG 50% and say flavor 7% for 30ml would be PG 12.9 ml amd VG 15ml and flavor 2.1 ml or 42 drops, when you buy the flavor it will have a recommended level to start with.....

Also not sure if this was a question, but in E Juice Me Up calculator, if you just put in 0 for both target and starting nicotine, it will give you the right drops/percentages.

EDIT: sparky beat me... work always getting in the way

Bought PG and VG today. Plan on making my 1st step with an unflavored 0 nic juice, then maybe venture into flavored later.

I wondered if I can add a flavored juice with 18mg of nic that I've bought at a Vape store to my own noob made juice?

I assume your own "noob" juice is just a pg/vg mix? Yes you can add it just be aware that it reduces the nicotine concentration depending on what ratio you mix it in, and it also will of course dilute the flavor.

Thank you DH, your advice is much appreciated.

Here is the calculator I use to combine. This will let you know what nic you are diluted down to. Hope it helps.

To make it more clear on what everyone's response and to add to it. Most people tend to go anywhere from 10 to 20 percent. This is something to play with for getting the taste you want and also can gunk up your coils the thicker it is. Where I buy my flavors in the description there is always a recommendation as to what percentage to start with. May check the website you got your flavors from and look. Regarding adding water make sure it's distilled. Everything else has stuff in it like minerals and can grow bacteria and mold and as it sits. I'm new at this but it seems water is usually used to thin down VG if people are avoiding using PG.
