Hi all, I am completely new at DYI and I had a couple questions. I apologize in advance if I am not making much sense :)

I have 100% PG base w/nic (24mg). In theory I could just use VG to dillute the nic strength down to 6mg without having to add more non- nic PG correct?

My question is, every calculator I've found allows me to put in my nic juice in at 100% PG, my target nic, target PG/VG ratio etc... but when I calculate it, it tells me to add more PG and VG in the recipe and I am not sure why that is if I already add my PG w/nic to the recipe. Any ideas? The calculator I am using right now is "ejuice me up".

Thanks for any/all advice you can give!

Jeremy

Correct if you do not have a desired Pg /Vg target.



I suggest that you play around with changes to the Target Pg Target Vg and Flavor 10% to see how the ratio of ingredents change.
ejuicemeup will let you input Nic PG /VG at whatever ratio yours really is , 100% either / 50 ,50 ,80/20 whatever. Whatsarts off as defaults can be changed.

ejuice me up is a well respected calculator and I have heard of no issues with it miscalculating
it all depends on what you want your final pg/vg ratio to be wether or not you will need to add pg

Thanks that makes sense, especially with a target PG/VG ratio.:vapor:
