I am going to start making my own juice, but I think I screwed up because I ordered 60ml of 60mg nic in VG, and I want to make 80% PG / 20% VG but I don't think that is possible, the best that I can figure out is that would yield something like 60/40? So I ordered 125ml of 100mg nic in PG.
In what proportion would I mix them, and how much PG would I add to yield something around 20-24mg 80% PG /20% VG juice (assuming 10% flavoring and 5% water or vodka?)

I hope my question is not totally stupid I'm new at this; and I've been reading everything I can but the math involved in figuring this out is making me crazy.

Thanks, I had looked at those but didn't realize they would calculate 2 different nic levels. So, from looking at that it appears that 125ml of 100mg nicotine and 60ml of 60mg nicotine combined would yield 185ml of 87mg nic juice appx 67% PG /33% VG. To make 10ml of 24mg 80/20 I would add 10% flavor 5% water/vodka and- 2.76 ml of nic juice. 5.4 ml PG, .34 ml vg.

Can someone confirm that my calculations are correct, or close to being correct?

Keelala has hooked you up with a great calculator and I would add a suggestion not to add the water/vodka to the base mix you are shooting for. using the calculator take 2.76 mls (55 drops or 27.6%) of 87mg/ml base add 5.15mls (103 drops or 51.5%) Pg, 1.09mls (22 drops or 10.9%) and 10% (20 drops or 1ml) of flavoring to get what you are targeting. A 80/20 mix is thin enough and the water/alcohol will IMO make it too thin. Also note if you first batch taste a little flat you may be like me and require some sweetner. In a 10ml batch I typically add about 4 or 5 drops to make the flavor "pop"

Thanks so much, that's just the information I was looking for!
