If you don't have 14 gauge needles for the VG you can heat it up a bit by placing your VG container in hot water. This will reduce viscosity and allow you to use smaller gauge needles.
One question...
Are you going to want to make the Same mg level and the Same PG|VG ratio when you DIY?

Great tip, AzPlumber! Thanks a lot.
If it proves too thick, that's exactly what I will do.
This question is unrelated, but how does my trial PG / VG ratio sound (60/40)?
I am primarily a cartomizer user, so I'm a little concerned that this will be too thick to wick down into the filler!
But, at the same time, I would like a decent amount of VG.... I find the PG dries me out a little bit.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again for the input, Az!
Peace.
The PG / VG ratio shouldn't change too much once I get it to where I like it (trying 60/40 tonight), but the nic level will change depending on who I am making the juice for.
I am quickly becoming the local hardware and juice vendor in my small town.
So, if I run into PG sensitivities, even the PG / VG ratio might occasionally change as well.
Why do you ask?
I pre-mix my PG/VG into large bottles. I use 60/40 and 70/30. No need to mix them every time I DIY.
Do you make the Same mg / PG:VG ratio most of the time?
Haven't received that Nic yet. But I don't think I would mix the nic with them and waste it on bad batches. I am still a beginner ,so still testing batches.
I have a notebook that I keep notes on a new mix until it's dialed in. After I get it dialed I then enter it into my calculator and save it as a recipe. Once it's saved you can adjust the amount to make or the nic level and the calculator does all the work.
I use syringes for my base, PG and VG but for flavoring I use these pipette pumps with 1ml polycarbonate pipettes. Pipette Pump - One Stop DIY Shop Store They are incredibly accurate and easy to use.
How do I write stuff down?? I thought about excel file ? Or do u use plain paper and pen?
Because I know a DIY Technique for people who vape the Same mg / PG:VG Ratio that is Dead Simple. So Simple it makes me Chuckle when I hear of People buying Pipettes, Syringes and Erlenmeyer Flasks.
Zoi, care to share?

He probably pre-mixes the pg,vg and Nic.
