Please verify my calcs.

Still pretty new to DIY and need to verify my calculations on a mix with a twist.

So I got a deal on a 180ml bottle of 0 nic store juice I figured I could add my 100mg nic base to for my preferred 6 mg nic result. By my calculations, I need to add 11.5ml (or 14.2 grams I prefer to measure) of nic base to the 180ml bottle of 0 nic juice to get to my desired 6mg juice. Am I close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades? No, I am not too concerned with upping the VG with 100% VG base nic.

You'll have 11.5x100 = 1150 mgs of nic in 180+11.5=191.5 mls of juice.
That's 1150/191.5 mg/ml = 6
bingo.

Thanks! Still new enough at this I want to be sure.

This recipe calculator is wildly popular around ECF. Use it and print your recipes for future use. Make notes on the sheets where necessary. Doing that makes things really simple and repeatable.

You'll need to enter gram weights for all the components the first time you mix by weight. You can get those here.

Thanks! I've been using Hotrod's calculator and mixing by weight, but as with most/all calculators, I wasn't sure how to calculate with a fixed amount of "flavoring" and a floating "amount to make" and "VG/PG ratio" factors. Hence I fell back on manual calculations for which I was more comfortable getting a second, hopefully confirming opinion.

BotBoy141 lists the grams/ml factors for PG/VG/Nic and flavors in the post above. It's where I got my values for my calculator. Flavors all vary from 1.93 to to 1.07 grams per ml, so he suggests an average of 1g/ml in the calculator as "close enough for DIY work".

I'm new in the DIY world, too. I've made a couple of throwaway mixes that were flavored beyond repair, but for the most part all of my creations have been vapable and most of them tasty. I've finally used 30 or 40 flavorings in mixes over the last few months and I'm beginning to develop a feel for what works with different flavor manufacturers.

I'm still highly observant of the more experienced DIY'ers posts in these threads. I'm learning fast.
