How much Flavor

[incarceron]

hi all i am new to the whole DIY aspect of vaping and had a question i tried to use the calculator but it just confused me more so i figured i would just ask here. I plan on buying this mix 236 ml Unflavored Nicotine Juice USA made - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes with 24mg of nicotine with a PG/VG 80-20 blend or 65-35 blend now if i was to take this and wanted to add it to a 15ml bottle or 30 ml bottle using let say Bubble Gum Electronic Cigarette Flavoring - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes as an example would anyone be able to tell me how much of the flavoring would i have to add to the bottle is it just a few drops and shake and test it out or would i have to put a certain amount of ml's to get a good taste out of it?

this is from MBV's page
We recommend the concentrate to be mixed at 15% - 40% with unflavored Nicotine juice

do you know of this juice mix calculator ?
- eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator

good luck

yes i read that but what is 15% - 40% and i tried that calculator i always just get negative numbers cause i am messing numbers up somewhere as said in my first post it just confused me more do i have to put 15%-40% of the 236 ml Unflavored Nicotine Juice USA made - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes and fill the rest of the bottle with flavoring so if i was to use a 30ml bottle i would need to put 12ml of the mix for 40% and 18ml of a flavor would i really need that much flavor for it to taste good ? i would think that the mix would be most of the bottle not the flavoring i think im doing something wrong is it the other way around :/

would you be able to give me a screenshot using these items on the calculator filling a 30ml bottle with a 80/20 blend would help me alot i could work off it and understand what im doing wrong

Try this one. It is very simple to use eJuice Recipe Calculator

My motto is less is better with flavoring. Start low and move up from there.

Good luck!

If you start with 24 mg nic and add 15% flavor with the end result being 30 ml of around 20 mg, you would
need To use 25 ml nic base and 5 ml of flavor

Example: if you want to make a 30 ml bottle of an ejuice at 15% flavoring, you would add 4.5 ml of flavoring and 25.5 ml of your nicotine mix.

When it says percent for flavoring it means percent of the total ml you plan on making...

So to make a 30ml bottle. And if your recipe calls for 15% flavoring then you would take 30 and multiply it by .15 to get exactly how much flavoring to add.

I actually use a calculator.

1% of 15ml is 0.01×15ml=0.15ml
10% of 15ml is 0.10×15ml=1.5ml
11% of 15ml is 0.11×15ml=1.65ml
21% of 15ml is 0.21×15ml=3.15ml
