Your flavoring is too high.
You can also change the ratio to 50/50 and it will work.
Or up your nice 1-2mg

Ok thank you. i do have a doubt. will i be able to make my juice 100% vg since i have a 100% pg base nic? And would it still give me a throat it if i set my desired nic to be at 16mg? i heard that more pg would give a throat hit but if i set the nic level to something this high won't i get a throat hit anyway no matter what the pg/vg ratio is? thanks it's my first diy attempt ;)

The matter is getting confused. The negative number showed up in the calculator because you already have too much PG for the ratio you are going for. (the negative number is saying take this out)

So, lower flavoring (PG) %, or lower nicotine (PG), or change the final ratio to allow more PG.

Then please, for everyone's safety, learn the math. You should know %'s, fractions, and ratios.

Ok i just got my stuffs and need some help...

48mg nic base 100% pg.
pg
vg
flavours.

Now i want to make it into 40% pg and 60% vg with 16mg nic. using the ejuice calculator this is what i got:



if you see under ingredents, at pg/vg 0 nicotine it says -0.8. So what when wrong? This is the pg that i'll be adding into my recipe right?

thanks for any help ;)
This has to do with the PG/VG cap that I was referring earlier. Based on you nic/VG/PG ratio and the amount you want to mix, you can only achieve between 100% PG or 45/55 PG/VG mix and anything above 55%VG will be unattainable (unless use VG based flavoring or lower flavoring% to 5%).

Please correct me if i'm wrong, when you mentioned don't go higher than 60mg/ml is that the nicotine base you are referring to?


If you are not familiar with hazmat procedures, or % and math, and you don't really know what you're doing yet, my advice is to not go higher than 36mg/ml on the nicotine solution.

Crap! *facepalm*
Thanks for clarifying hoosier. With this guy asking so many questions I was bound to make a mistake sometime or another.
