It will depend on which you prefer to be dominate in your finished mix, PG or VG. I prefer PG dominant so I get the nic in a 50/50 blend.
When cutting the nic base down I use only PG. This gives me a very small percentage of VG in my mixes, that is how I like it.
If a person likes extremely high VG levels in their finished mixes they will likely order a strictly VG base. Cheers.

Yeah, right now 50/50 is going to be ideal. With least complications

The vaper has to be sure that you are not intolerant/sensitive to PG. If you cannot tolerate PG, I recommend Nic in the VG base (to say it another way). When I used to mix in Nic, Nic was a very small part of the percentage.

I just come back from shopping and along the way, I popped into totally wicked. The staff were very helpful and showed me how to mix an easy and concise demonstration!

As I'm using a subohm tank, I bought aqueous glycerin (Ag) and pg based nic and the regular pg. and some flavor concentrate, there's 5 flavors to choose from, included in the kit. It cost £32.99 for 50ml of titanium nic (72) 100ml of pg and 100ml of Ag. Nice...

He also told me, after November, the tdp has banned the sale of the e-liquid diy kit. Does anyone know " will I still be able to buy vg and pg, independently. For example, from vendors completely unrelated to vaping?

You will always be able to buy VG and PG, as there uses are very wide and not just for vaping.

The TPD is just around the corner, but there will be a time-frame defined so vendors can sell out there stock. I dont know exactly, but most guess it's 12 months, but some say just 6.

Totally-wicked has a case currently against the TPD, but there's not big hopes for anything changing.

Btw, the UK company lubrisolve, promises there customers that they will still sell 72mg nicbases also after the TPD and "end-of-stock" timeframe is over... Me and many others are just baffled upon how they can do and promise that... Well, unless its 20mg in 10ml containers, but they have specifically been inquired about 72mg bulk nic, and they state no problem. They state they will update there page soon to give more info on it and that they have spend alot of time making sure everything is TPD compliant.

Lubrisolve btw uses same nic source as totally-wicked i.e. nicobrand UK manufactured and diluted nicbase in 72mg in PG or VG(AG actually)... They are also cheaper than totally-wicked, but still is an expensive nicbase compared to e.g. nicselect bases etc...

From what I've understood about nic, after searching. I can't be 100% on this, but... Nic can only be manufactured for export only, which means if uk manufacturers it, we can sell it to eg. Germany and we can buy from Germany what they manufacture for export ( in a nutshell.) sounds proper weird!
Lubrisolve? Thanks for the info
