Your not being very clear as to what you want to do. May I suggest some research to help you understand this a little better.

My blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice.

Then read Ginger's book "E-Cigarettes 102: DIY e-liquid". It is a book which I've contributed to that delivers an in depth easy to follow guide in the art of DYI.

When I click on the first link which are your blogs, I get a super long list of all kinds of links. Which one is best to read first, like a DIY for Dummies type. I have NO equipment, Nic, Pg, VG, calculators, scales-NOTHING. I'm already overwhelmed and hard to concentrate on ALL of these links. Which is the best to read first.

Look at the orange bar which describes what is in each blog post.

• The first one is titled "List of Suppliers & Other Useful Links. You can skip that one right now and go back to it once you have read everything else and are ready to start putting together a purchasing list of supplies based on flavorings and recipes, etc.
• Start with the second one titled "How I Test New Flavors ...."

Take/make lots of notes.

Start with
How to adjust your base to reduce that peppery harsh Nicotine taste
then
nicotine composition as it pertains to VG, PG and flavoring and how they react with each other
then
What you need to know as as far as supplies and safety for the first time juicer.
then
Mixing 101, The Basics - A simple walk through on mixing a favorate standard... RY4
then
Everything you wanted to know about steeping and then some.
then
How I test new flavorings and hone in on the amount to use.


The calculator I use is eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator

This should give you enough information to get you started and better able you to formulate your questions.

Thank you! I've been printing off so much of this stuff I have a mini book already. Feeling a lot better about what to get now and reading up on storing the stuff

It pleases me that the material helps. This is what we all strive for.. It's important more then ever to help because the new FDA regulations are upon us.

Reading up on stuff is recommended of course, but for complete beginners which feels overwhelmed to say the least, I would recommend kickstarting your education with simply laying back and watching a few DIY videos on youtube, so as to also see in action that it's not merely as bad as first thought

Afterwards, you know better what to look up...

Sorry can't help with links, but just go to youtube and do a search for "DIY ejuice" or something of the sort...

Without knowing the most basics, it's not a time to spend on "advanced" topics yet...

Edit: E.g.

Your question is very unclear to me. There is a lot of information you are not providing and that you do not know yet as you have not yet decided:

• batch size
• what your nic base will be in (i.e. pg or vg or pg/vg)
• % of flavoring you will be using.

Watch the video in post #8. It shows how to use the steam-engine calculator.

 

[Train2]

It's asking what IS the PG/VG ratio of your NIC BASE first, THEN asking what you want to end up with.
Your Nicotine might be in 100% VG or 100% PG or 50/50. Those are the most common...

and it says vg pg ration then it says vg pg ratio as finshed result i want to do 70 30 as end result do i put that in there twice or what?

It is probably asking about pg/vg ratio in your nic base,and the second one would be what you want your finished juice to be.
