It's still coming down. In fact, a co-worker's son just got hit and is on the way to the hospital (he's ok...it's precautionary). Some local roads are being shut down.

Soory to hear about the accident but please send snow this way

Yes it counts and as you noted most flavorings are PG based. This needs to be factored into the equation. So for example if you added 1ml of 100mg/ml nic @ 100% PG, 2 ml PG based flavoring and 7 ml vg you have 70vg/30pg at 10mg/ml with 20% flavoring.

Factoring in pg or vg FLAVORINGS in order to get an accurate percentage of the TOTAL PG/VG used in a recipe:

Being a newbie DIYer, I thought about this and then stumbled upon this; thanks so much,house mouse,for this info!
eJuiceMeUp calc. allows you to factor in either a pg or vg flavoring,but I don't think it allows for both being used.I may be wrong,but I only see one place to check for either the pg or vg for flavorings; Here's the link for this calculator for those who use only pg or vg for flavorings:

I've become curious about the whole DIY aspect for making 0mg nic juices. My regular suppliers charge as much for 0mg as for nic loaded juices so I figure I could probably save some money here.

I was planning on using all VG in my juice and have found the flavors I want to order. It will be straight mixing as in one flavor to one bottle. I won't be combining flavors. The bottles of VG I've found are 6 oz bottles or around180ml. What I want to do is just add flavoring to the bottle and end up with a 6 oz bottle of say coffee, and one of rum, and one of root beer etc. Store in the larger bottles and transfer as needed to smaller bottles. Does that make sense?

I know everyones tastes are different, but what ballpark ml amount of flavoring am I going to need to flavor a 6oz bottle of VG?

Depends on how strong you like the flavor and like the others have said VG doesn't carry flavor as well so the % VG will cause some loss of flavor. I found that the flavor changes drastically after being mixed a couple of days or longer. Mix a small batch, let it age a bit and try it, then add more flavor if you want it stronger. Keep a log of your formula so you can repeat it once you find something you like.
