user808a is right.

Mixing any amount of the 12mg/ml VG base with any amount of the 24 mg/ml PG base has to result in something that is either > 12 mg/ml (if any of the PG base is used) or < 50/50 PG/VG.

Mixing any amount of the PG base with an equal amount of 0 nicotine plain VG will get you 12 mg/ml 50/50.

Plain VG is readily available. I buy it at RiteAid or CVS, called "Glycerin USP Skin Protectant", near the bandaids. Glycerin 99.5% is the only listed ingredient. It is a squat, clear, 6 ounce bottle, about $5.

Ok.. I was reading about that yesterday. with people saying that it may be best to buy your nic in a PG base..

I was trying to read up quite a bit on it for the past couple of days now.. I'm going to place an order for the Nic along with an order for each seperate PG & VG and a few other items aswell..

but the nic was holding me back. I just wasn't 100% sure on which ratio I should go with to simplify things a little better.

Thanks Hoosier for clarifying that a little better for me. I truly appreciate it.

Edit:

I'm vaping @ 24mg and was thinking of stepping down within the next couple of months.. I also was thing that If I went with the 100mg Nic...
That it may last a little longer spread it out further maybe.

OK.. thanks for your ... istance Hoosier. 50 definately goes into 100 2x.. Wow... Wasn't aware of that....

trying not to take your reply the wrong way....

I'm trying not to take your replies (Info) as smartass comments.. Maybe it's just me.. I'm sure when you started "You" had similar questions that you had.. Maybe you didn't.. and you didn't need any help or advice from anyone...

Me.. I personally prefer to ask the seasoned veterans who went through the trial and error stages.. and who still go through them for Helpful assistance.

thanks for your replies anyways... I take the good, the bad, the ugly.. all the same..

You might be surprised how difficult basic math is to some folks that post questions here...

I use 100mg because it's easier to double check the nicotine level in my head while mixing.

Take it anyway you want. If i come off as a smarta%&, that's fine by me too as long as your queries are answered accurately.

For further smarta$%'edness, be sure to read my blog on DIY mixing. There's further clues to my attitude there...
