little confused

I want to mix up my first sample. I'm not sure on the nic portion of it. I bought some PG and VG with 60mg nic base.
I've been vaping with 24mg nic strength from other venders and would like to keep it that way. Do I need to dilute the VG and PG to get it down to 24?

What else did you buy? Did you get any pg/vg without nic? If you bought only pg/vg with 60mg nic, you will need some plain pg and/or vg to reduce the mg.

You can pick up some plain vg at Walmart. There is a thread about it in the DIY liquid section with a picture. It is located by the band-aids in my locat store.

OMG. You might want to read http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-recipes/53227-read-first.html first. Next get a calculator (heres the one I use https://www.filesanywhere.com/fs/v.aspx?v=89716a8d58646ea772a0 ) only use the recipes that come with the calculator to start with so you don't have to enter anything. It isn't hard but be careful and enjoy.
Edit: What I meant by not adding anything was calculations of percentages. You will have to tell it what strength nic you have and what strength you want as well as a few other items.

I was playing around with e juice me up calculator and I'm thinking the added flavoring dilutes the nic level down to the desired level. But I will take your advice and do some more reading.

Just keep in mind that equal parts 60 mg and additives like flavoring would give you 30mg liquid. I use 18mg so I always look tosee if my mixture has roughly twice the non nic additives (a little less) as the 60mg nic. That way I can see right away if I screwed up entering the quantities in the calculator.

This thread is for recipes only so you would be better off posting and reading over on the DIY forum.

You will need some plain VG and/or PG to dilute with. The % of flavoring varies greatly from flavor to flavor but most won't be any higher than 20% total. With 20% flavor added your 60mg liquid will be 48mg.
