I had purchased some unflavored nic juice not knowing much on my first purchase. It was 100VG 24mg. Reading from post i know its a personal prefrence on the percentage one like their juice, and see many like a 80PG / 20 PG Mix. I picked up some PG from Hobby Lobby and Everclear from the liquar store.

Please correct me if I am wrong, if I attemt a 50/50 mix I will most likely loose drop my nicotine 50% right off the bat. then adding evercear would drop it once again.

Maybe 100VG was not the correct way to start off for a newbie. Does anyone have a suggestion and or formula they have used as a good starting point using 100VG and advice.

Thanks in advance.... 2 Weeks vaping and have not cheated:vapor:

This calculator is great for starting out although it only does 1 flavor: eJuice Recipe Calculator

If you want to thin your liquid with Everclear you can put it in the Water Added section. So you have 100% VG 24mg/ml nicotine, but what is your target nicotine level? If you want 12mg/ml for example, you will need your final mix to contain 50% of the nicotine base. Doing a 50/50 mix will get you 12mg/ml but as you said it doesn't include flavoring or Everclear, so you would have to make room for that by replacing the 0nic PG.

Yes, some people can't vape alot of PG like myself. I lean more towards VG with a hint of PG. I buy 100mg PG nic juice and cut with VG. This gives me a higher concentration of VG over the PG. Basically if I want 20mg unflavored, it would be 1 part PG (my nic juice) to 4 parts VG. In the end I would have 80VG/20PG at 20mg.
