This one made my head hurt a little. But if you put 5% of the final solution in 10 mls. You are basically putting .125mls in 10mls.
Of the .5mls of final solution only .125mls would actually be the net in 10mls.
So 1.25% is my final answer lol

It made my head hurt too thus the thread LOL. 
So if I buy the extract I would use 1.25% of it to make my own juice - right? 
Wow so a bunch cheaper to make my own!! 
Thank You

Consider [1] making a batch of 25% like N.E.T does and use that as your concentrated base (which of course you won't vape). Then, [2] in a separate empty bottle/batch, use 1 part of that concentrate and mix it with 4 parts of unflavored PG/VG (for example 10ml concentrated base + 40ml unflavored). This would yield a 5% final vape. By doing so, your concentrated base will continue to steep as you make more of your final vape batch/bottle later when needed - since adding pre-steeped concentrate to a batch of unflavored juice will require less steep time (or will be ready to vape right away depending on how long the concentrate has already been steeping). This is basically what I do when I DIY because you always have pre-steeped concentrate ready at all times to make your final vape. It reduces steep time of your final vape significantly. Experiment and enjoy!Ok - I need some math help. I am a super taster and figured out that using 5% of a ready made N.E.T eliquid works for me. My question is this - the site says they use the extract with the same name as the eliquid at 25%. How can I use the extract so that I can make my own DIY using it?
easy... make up a batch of the 25% stuff as suggested by the maker and do what you normally do to make your 5% stuff
or else just use 1.25ml of extract per 100ml of mixed juice
.25X.05 = .0125 .0125X100 = 1.25
seems to be rather low tho....

Thank You all for your help/suggestions. I am a "super taster" - took me a while to figure that out. My first ADV uses less than 1% and it is 2 flavorings. 
So to me 1.25% makes sense.

Its called seeding a mix. I use anywhere from 10-20% of the same previous steeped juice into a new mix and it works great. I just calculate subtracting the amount in weight of seed juice so I end up with 100mls in the end. I use a magnetic mixer and I add the nic and seed juice after it has mixed a couple hours and sat overnight to dissipate all the air bubbles then add the nic and seed juice then mix it slowly trying not to add extra air.
Luckily all 3 of my ADVs taste good shake-n-vaped. 
I have been DIYing juice since the second month of trying to vape - have read tons of stuff. And I agree seed steeping is a great idea for those looooooooooooooong time to get steeped mixes. 
I now have 3 ADVs - first uses 0.42% flavoring,second uses 2% of a 3.5% dilution, and this the third uses 1.25% of the extracted NET. 
Math for me can be a pita - thank you all again.
