Right. A full understanding of the liquid contents and knowing how to use the software are necessary factors in order to get the correct amounts. I might be considered a perfectionist with some things, but getting the beginning amounts correct is important, I believe.

Change the nic line to show 100% PG, instead of 50% PG and 50% VG.

The flavor is all PG.

So the VG has to be 2mL to equal 20%.

The other liquids are all PG and need to equal 8mL.

Here's how to figure this in your head quickly:

You know that 36mg nicotine liquid needs to be half of the total mixture to equal 18mg, so that would be 5mL of nicotine liquid (which is all PG). (10mL x 1/2 = 5mL)

You know that the VG result is to be 20%, so that would be 2mL. (20% x 10mL = 2mL)

You know that the flavor result is to be 15%, so that would be 1.5mL. (15% x 10mL = 1.5mL)

You add up these amounts so far: 5mL + 2mL + 1.5mL = 8.5mL.

Subtract 8.5mL from 10mL to get 1.5mL for the PG.

Hope that helps! :)
