Is there a database of recipes I can use? I'm using LorAnn Oils and 100% VG; I'm not sure what proportions are best. Any hints?
Ideal no-nic recipes?

Cheers. I know good flavor combos, but I don't know good PG/VG ratios, to use distilled water or not if PG is absent, and if nicotine is removed, do I add more VG/PG or add more flavor or both?
When I am looking for a recipe I google it "orange cream ejuice recipe" for example whatever flavor you look for remember to put ejuice in the name. I have found a few blogs that people post recipes in. As far as how much vg when the recipe says proportions of this and that add all the pg/vg ratios together and then use that much vg and how ever much flavoring it says. Always remember that vg is very sweet and does not absorb flavorings very well so you might be better off trying to make your own recipes based off of others recipes(use the same flavorings at different ratios ) until you like the flavor you have. If you are going to use pg a good pg/vg ratio is 70/30 it works well in tanks and in cartos usually if you thin down your vg with a few drops of water. I follow the recipes for all different mg's but I just dont add any nic to and all mine taste like they should. The juice will not taste exactly the same not having 0mg. I always put 1 or 2mg nic in mine to get a slight kick otherwise I feel that the juice is too smooth and feels odd to inhale like I should be drinking it or something.
can't you just leave out the nic and replace it with vg following a basic recipe..?
Nicotine, in a recipe, is treated as if it were PG and/or VG, so there is no change for a recipe. With Nic or without, it is exactly the same except you are using a Nic solution or not using a Nic solution.
So if a recipe calls for 2ml of 100mg/ml nicotine in PG, 1ml of flavoring, and 7ml of PG/VG then without Nic it is 1ml flavoring and 9ml (2+7) of PG/VG.
If your flavoring is around 20% and your VG is on the thinner side, there is little reason to thin it with water unless your cargo needs it thinner. If you have thicker VG and/or less flavoring, you might want to thin it a bit. I'd start at 5% and see if that worked and only increase it if it was required.
Thanks, Hoosier! This helped me a lot. I'm very new to DIY so I'm not quite 100% sure how it operates, so I was going to make a calculator for myself that takes into account 0% nic and to compensate with VG/PG; I just didn't know how to replace nic with VG/PG.
I think I got it down, now.
Cheers!
