Hello all!!! I have only ever dabbled with DIY. My questions may be easily answered which is why I have hesitated asking for help so far. :-/
I've only really ever bought unflavored base and added single flavors... I have lowered my nicotine level a lot and I still have a 500ml bottle of 24mg 50/50 unflavored base that I need to get use out of. Currently I vape 6mg. My unflavored base is 50/50 and I want to increase the vg amount to at least 65-70. Could someone help me figure out what I can do to get the base I have to something I can use. I really appreciate the help!!!

Just enter it in a calculator and it will figure it out for you. ejuicemeup is great.

So for instance 2.5mls base plus 5.74 vg plus 1.76pg gets you to 6%. flavorings are mostly PG and will take a portion of that pg total. this gets you to 10ml of 6mg juice 70/30 pg\vg. So if your flaoring is 17% you would add no PG. if flavor is greater than 17%you will have to shoot for 65%vg

Mixing your 24mg at 1 part to 3 of 0mg gets you to your 6mg. Using all vg would put you at about 67% vg. Using 1 part pg to 2 parts vg gets you about 62% vg.

Examples: 10 ml of your 24mg plus 30 ml of vg = 40 ml at 6mg and 87% vg.
10 ml of your 24mg plus 10 ml of pg plus 20 ml of vg = 40 ml, 62.5% vg.
10 ml of your 24mg plus 9 ml of pg plus 21 ml of vg = 40 ml @6mg and 65% vg.

Thank you! I'll try the calculator!

Thanks, this is exactly what I hoped someone who do for me. Idiot proof, do this to get that kind of directions!!! I love it, thank you. I guess it is easier if I am not trying to do the whole 500 ml at once. (Actually about 460ml now). THANKS SO MUCH
