Most versatile nicotine dilution?

[Awkwardly Awesome]

I just purchased a 60ml bottle of 100mg nicotine in 100% VG. Now when I bought this bottle, I had intentions on only doing 100% VG juice to start out with. But I do want to try several variations to see what I like best (in terms of PG/VG percentages). I have a 250mL bottle of PG and a 250mL of VG if that helps anyone.

I had read that it is a good idea to dilute your nicotine down to 10mg stronger than your target juice strength. So I figured what I could do was turn the 60mL 100mg bottle into (3) 65mL bottles @ 30.77mg(I will mostly be making 18mg). The 3 bottles would be different mixtures of PG/VG to attempt to make the most versatile dilutions possible for the different levels of PG/VG juices I want to try making.

1st bottle: 69.23% PG and 30.77% VG - This would allow me about 77% PG juice combo and 50% PG on the low end
2nd Bottle: 100% VG - It would allow me to make the highest VG content possible (with about 20% water/PGA)
3rd Bottle: 50.77% PG and 49.23% VG - This is just more of the 50/50 juice, the highest PG it can go is 66.2% and the lowest is 34.7%
All of these were done with 10% for flavoring. I know that real juice numbers may vary based on flavor %.

So is this a good idea to try and make the most of my mistake? Or a waste of time?(AKA I should just use this for high VG juices and get another bottle of nicotine with a different mix for my other stuff instead).


And just so people know, I have dealt with chemicals before (although not as poisonous as nicotine, mostly acidic), so I know how to properly handle them. This is just my first time dealing with dilutions/calculations (I was just given the chemicals to use, never the one who had to dilute them for our use) and DIY juice.

I think it's pretty good. At 100mg, you don't really need to a different base to try all these ratios. Except for a very high PG mix, it is strong enough to dilute it however you want.

I dilute my base to 30mg 50pg/50vg. With this, i can get a 18mg 70/30 mix by just adding my flavoring and PG. That is assuming that the flavoring is PG, which it usually is for me. I think you could do pretty much the same thing with your third bottle.

You will be able to get higher PG ratios if you want. You should be able to get 18mg at 82% PG with that nic: E-Liquid Recipe Name

Either way, your plan looks good for trying all those PG/VG ranges.

Personally, I work with 100mg and don't break it down until needed. But, of course, a lot of folks do not agree with that for good reason.

If you are not concerned with working with 100mg nic, leave it until you find your pg/vg ratio. If you are concerned about working with the 100mg and ONLY because you are not sure what your long term pg/vg is going to be, I would do the following.

Either add 60ml of pg to the nic and have 120ml of 50/50 50mg nic base. Or add 60ml of vg to the nic and have 120ml of 50mg vg nic base.

Or something along those lines. Keep it simple.
