Is making eliquid minus the nicotine as easy as I think it is?

Hey guys, if I wanted to make a 50/50 juice of lets say Cinnamon roll, do I simply mix 50%pg, 50%vg and the flavorings needed for a cinnamon roll flavor altogether in a container and mix?
Except most flavoring is considered PG and if that 50/50 ratio is your primary concern then you've just tilted it to more PG. I find that pretty unimportant and unnoticeable, but some folks believe the final PG/VG ratio has an importance of very great ramification.

Is that it?
Yep.

And how much would something like this cost me per ml of juice?
Take the amount you paid for everything and divide it by the amount of juice you found to be vapable and add the value of your labor. Or you can cheat and after you find your recipe just take the cost of the components required to make the recipe divided by the amount the recipe makes and ignore other costs or values.

(It is pretty easy, but it is more like cooking from scratch than from a box.)

Almost! Use the ejuicemeup calculator for perfect mixing! How much it costs depends on where you purchase your PG/VG and flavorings from. I get my PG/VG from Essential Depot. One gallon each for $40 if you use the 15OFF coupon. With flavoring and no nic, approximately 50¢ per 10ml, give or take.

1. Yes, it really is that easy...do pay attention to what Hoosier has said regarding your final ratio
2. It's going to be dirt cheap any way you slice it.
3. I think Capella's makes a cinnamon danish swirl that people here in the diy board rave about. It's not my thing so I have no personal experience with it, but if it's yours, give it a shot.
4. Cinnamon is known to crack plastic tanks and cartos. Keep this in mind.

I don't use nicotine at all. For the flavoring percentages, I usually try to find the flavoring here and see what other people used to start. Or better yet, I try to find recipes and go off exactly what they used. I also use an E-liquid calculator and just ignore the part where it talks about nicotine. Back when I first started vaping, I found the perfect calculator that allowed you to omit the nicotine out of the equation (believe MadVapes had it) but I can no longer find anything. I use the one from Aluhsion and just add the VG + nicotine and regular VG for the total VG. (if that makes any sense)

50/50 PG/VG at 10 ml bottle
3.5 ml PG
3.5 ml VG
2.0 ml Flavor
1.0 ml 100mg Nicotine

Am I doing this correctly? This would yield 10 mg of nicotine right?

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread!!

Right the amount of nicotine added divided by the total volume. 1.0ml of 100mg/ml nicotine is 100mg of nicotine divided by 10ml (3.5+3.5+2.0+1.0) = 10mg/ml. It's a good idea to know the math well enough to do it in your head AND use a calculator. I like the one in the sticky's by Scubabatdan, but any will do. More importantly is following safety precautions when dealing with nicotine.
