So I am crurious what this is going to come out to... I suck at the math so I was hoping someone can help.

I want to know (a.) How many ml's of juice will this order yield? (b.) Given the price that I paid for the supplies, How much does each 30ml bottle I fill come out to?

I picked up.

115ml of 100mg/ml nicotine
1 Liter of VG
250ml of PG
and roughly 290ml of flavoring.

It is going to run me about $130.00

Given the amount of flavoring I purchased, what is the ballpark estimate of how many completed, mixed and ready to go 30ml bottles of flavored juice will I end up with? And roughly how much each 30ml bottle cost me to make.

I don't know what other info you will need, I plan on mixing each bottle of liquid around 9mg of nicotine content. And I got less PG because I plan on making all the mixes heavy on VG.

Would LOVE if someone could help me out with general figures. It would mean a lot... Id like to figure out how much money I am paying per 30ml bottle vs. how much I pay in store, and if it is a significant amount of savings.. I pay 24 dollars per 30ml of the good stuff in the store.

Thank you!
-DC

Well. Using the amounts of each flavor and the amounts of pg and vg I got, im sure there should be a way to dedue how much it will yield if you split the amounts equally between the items I purchased....

But in relaity, I am probably going to run my flavor on the higer side of normal (So make a quess of what % that is to the best of your ability) and I will want to run like 30/70 pg/vg or 40/60.. Whatever will allow me to consume the most of each product in the amounts I purchased..

Make sense?

Im just looking for ballpark here... 2 bux a bottle? 10 bux a bottle? 20 bux a bottle? Im only going to get 100ml, 400ml, 1000ml, 10.000ml of mixed juice made... Just an idea.. thats all I am looking for.

DIY juice can be made, depending on the cost of each ingrediant, for .05 to .10 cents per ml. That's $1.50 to $3.00 per 30ml bottle. Add the cost of the bottles and other non ingrediant items, you can easily make 30ml for less than $5.00.

eta: The Max amount you can make with the list above would be 1277ml. You are limited by the amount of nicotine base at 9mg/ml.
115/.09=1277.78 so 1277/30=42.57 bottles of finished liquid so at $130/42.57=$3.05 per 30ml bottle

BUT
At 15% flavoring you would still have just under 100ml left
At 20% flavoring you would still have just under 35ml left

And you would still have about 350ml of the VG and PG left. Without knowing what your nic carrier is and the vg/pg ratio of the final juice it is not possible to know how much of each.

that was perfect. Thank you to the two posters above me.

As I saw the price of the order I just wanted the rough Idea... I purchased (8) 10ml bottles of juice and some kanthol the other day from the store and paid just over 100 bux.. SO I wanted to be reassured that by spending the same amount on this order, that I would be saving a good amount from what I pay in the store as that is the main reason for my DIY trial.

Now I wont have to feel so bad blowing though so much juice with this sub ohm set up I am running and be able to vape clouds all day and not really trip about how much its burning a hole in my pocket.

He vapes at 9mg, the nic base is 100mg per ml in a 115ml bottle.

OP, If I read your rumbers correctly this should show roughly what you'll get from what you bought....

100%pg nic base

100%VG nic base

Assuming you keep it at 30pg/70Vg, use 15% flavoring then you're right around 1200-1300ml......
