trying not to off myself

[RedDeath5]

so, i'm really new to this diy thing. i've been a cook and a mechanic for years, so i do enjoy doing things myself. i finally got ahold of some 50mg vg base nic, and figured i'd add some to some existing stuff that's a bit weak for me. 24mg seems to be my sweet spot, but i wanna make sure i'm not gonna turn some 12mg into 40mg and OD myself. is there a pretty basic calculation for this?

Try Breaktru's calculator:

If you mix it 2 parts of the 12mg with one part 50mg you will be at 24.67mg. Close enough.

You will lose a bit of flavor though.

Wow, nothing is working tonight. The forum keeps logging me out and things I think that I sent or posted aren't there. Hoping this isn't a double post. Scubatdan's calculator has a section (Section 4) on both the VG and PG pages for mixing different nic strengths. You can find it stickied to the top of the DIY subforum.

only problem is, i'm using my phone to access the net, so i can't download things.

Hey Red, I always start at about 5% since you can always go up from there if you need more flavor.

Start with small batches. I would go 10% and work up by 1% at a time.

I always cut my unflavored to whatever mg that I like unless it is going into storage. Always start with a 3ml batch first. This way if you mess something up and don't like it, it's not a huge loss. Start slowly, write down how much of what you are using so that if you like it, you can make a bigger batch. Alot of flavors are strong so I would do 5% to start and then add if needed. 5% is 5 drops. Drops is ml.
