Hi and welcome.
What is the strength of your nicotine base and what is the PV/VG ratio?
What is the PG/VG ratio of the "premix"?

Cheers

None of my business, but if you are new to DIY, you might REALLY want to think long, and hard, about starting with 1,000mL recipes. That is a LOT of product if you don't like the result. Good luck.

Just Me.

But if I was New to DIY and kinda Unsure of what to do, I would Make a 30ml Test Batch of your recipe 1st. Then let it Steep/Age for awhile.

1000ml is a Lot of e-Liquid if it Doesn't taste like what you want. And depending on the Flavoring, 20% can be a Lot of Flavoring.

1000 ml ???? Isn't that One Liter ?
I would never be so brave.
How about 10ml samples to start ?

I agree with others that it would not be best to make 1000 ml unless you know for sure you *really* like the end result, but to address your question, I'm not really sure this is possible, since most flavors come in PG, and 20% (PG) flavor *is* your 20% PG right there. In other words, everything else, including your nicotine, needs to be all VG to get 20% PG / 80% VG if your flavor is PG.

If your nic and flavor are both VG, your PG/VG base would need to be around 30/70 for it all to come out 20/80.
