Please...Check my thinking on this

If I want a total 50/50 blend of PG/VG/Nic, and I purchase 250 ml of 36mg Nic @ 50/50 PG/VG blend, will I maintain my 50/50 ratio (and yield the 18mg I want) by cutting the nic with 125ml each of PG and VG?

Your math is correct

Thank you

Yes as stated above your math is acurrate but keep in mind if you add flavoring it will drop your nic strength down

 

[AuBadge]

Good point. How would I go about compensating for that? Add less PG & VG to the pg/vg/nic base?

Don't cut it. 36 mg is quite safe to work with. Use eJuiceMeUp or another calculator when you devise your final juice. It accounts for the base concentration, for the added flavor percentage and tells you how much of each ingredient... If you already know what percentage of flavoring you'll use, it's easy. If not you would do it for a small batch to tease out the right flavor percentage, then apply the result to your main batch.

(note that some flavors are PG based and will affect how much PG/VG you add to maintain the same overall ratio; account for that in eJuiceMeUp and add any alcohol based flavors together where it says Water/Vodka/PGA or check the box saying "Flavor zero PG/VG)

Great; I'd already downloaded eJuiceMeUp to get familiar with it, and planned to start with very small test-batches before committing to larger ones. Thank you both for your assistance!
