Need Help using calculator and figuring out what % of pg/vg flavors are

[317Vapers]

Ok I have TFA flavors from WL and I'm using this calculator from E-Liquid Recipe Name
My question is you can see on the flavors line you have nicotine and PG/VG areas, I know the flavor has 0mg nic but does does it have any PG/VG? If I put 0mg for PG it puts 100% for VG and I'm confused.

You can see here http://ecigvape.com/lk/v188hpqtxn that when the flavor is added 100% PG I get the same recipe that I get on my iphone ejuice app. But again here E-Liquid Recipe Name the flavors are entered automatically at 100% VG I get totally different readings again.

Which or what do I enter.

MOST flavorings are 100% PG, some have VG, some have alcohol or water. Next to the flavoring %, you enter the % nicotine (normally 0), then the % PG (normally 100).
You also have to enter the correct mg/ml of nicotine AND the % PG/VG for the nicotine base. As you increase the PG number, the VG number will automatically decrease. Using the example, you should end up with 7ml PG (some from flavorings and some from adding PG)and 3ml VG. If you enter the right numbers in the right places, the calculator will tell you the correct amount of each ingredient to add. The problem is that you are telling the calculator that the flavorings are 100% VG
If you need any more help, PM me and I will send you my cell number and give you a hand.
Good Luck!

yea I'm using 100mg 100%PG Nic base, and I'm going 70PG/30VG in that scenario linked. I was just confused on what the flavoring base was so is it safe to assume all TFA Flavoring is 100% PG?

yes, unless it says otherwise. TFA has very few non-pg flavorings

Here are TFA's non-PG flavorings:
Perfumers Apprentice - Flavors - Non PG

Smack me cause I just realized it has the contents on the bottle of the flavoring and states its PG lol fine print but I never noticed it. WOW I'm working too much OT lately. I need some rest lol

now if it contained nic it would say that too right?

So if I'm wanting to make this recipe:

Sweet Menthol 10mL total size
70PG/30VG
18mg strength
6% menthol
2% sweetner
2% Koolada (spelling on the calc. wouldnt let me put Kool)
Using 100mg/100%PG base nic base



This is how it should look right?? Sweet Menthol

Everything looks good! Don't measure by drops though. The 20 drops/ml default probably isn't what your measuring pipette or whatever is.

What he said! ^^^^^^^

LOL

I planned on measuring my mL, but I'm curious being a Noob and wanted to calibrate my pipettes & Droppers so I was going to test them to see how many drops per mL so I have notes on everything! Thanks for checking it out!
