Hello fellow vapors! I'm a DIY newbie.

Long time vapor, but I'm spending too much money of juice. So I decided to make my own!

I bought a few flavors, and "3mg Unflavored Nicotine Base" with Max VG from ecigexpress (http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-e-liquid/e-liquid-bases/nicotine-bases/1mg-24mg-bases/3mg-unflavored-nicotine-base-select-size.html).

My question is, can I just add the flavor to unflavored nic or do I need to get pure VG to mix with?

Thanks in advance!

Just add the flavor -- 3mg isn't going to poison anybody who's grownup and not drinking it. :D I vape 11mg, and lots around here vape 18-24mg, or even higher.

To save more money, many of us buy more concentrated base (up to 100 mg/ml) and then dilute with PG and VG and flavorings.
You got "ready to drip" strength if it's 3 mg, so adding some flavor, it'll actually be a little LESS than 3 mg. So assuming you do want some nic, it should be fine to flavor it and vape!
 
You are pretty safe at 3 mg/ml, but reading the safety threads is a good idea anyway. Just be aware that most of those warnings are more directed to people that are using strong nicotine base (greater than 24 mg/ml), and that the severity of the danger to you personally is relative to your own nicotine tolerance and the strength of what you are handling. Do keep it out of your eyes, and clean up after yourself.

I think the thing that impresses me most about D.I.Y.' is that typically somewhere towards the beginning of virtually every thread .........someone brings up SAFETY.

Even though the OP is using a low level per mg ...... he was pointed towards a thread on SAFETY. Fine job ECF folks - FINE JOB!
