trying to understand mixing of PG & VG--if anyone could help with a simple question

[mavrider]

My first post here, so if I am doing this wrong, stop me now and I will change what I need to.........

I have read and re-read the calculator instructions from "scatdan" & I am still unable to understand.
I have a 120 ml mixture of 80% PG & 20% VG, 24 mg per ml nic with a texas peach flavor.
I have a 120 ml bottle of 100% non-flavored VG.
When I mix all of this together I would have 240 ml of 12 mg per ml nic, but what would the percentages be on the PG & VG.
I would like the mix to be 50%PG & 50% VG , but then I would not know what the nic mg would be.
Is it becuase I am trying to make it too complicated that I can't see what the results would be?
Any help to get me on the right path would really be appreciated.
Thanks.

40% PG 60% VG if mixed as described

24 millileter of PG and 96 mill of VG added to your 120 MILLS of 80/20 24 mg nic would make it 50/50 12 mg

No offense to "Scatdan" but use ejuice ME UP calculator. Its the best DIY online calc app that exists.....Breaktru created it, its great

If you mixed both full bottles together you'd have 40% PG and 60% VG (96ml of PG and 144ml of VG).

If you want a 50/50 mix you should take 72ml of the 100% VG and add it to the PG/VG bottle; you'd have 192ml of 50/50 PG/VG @ 15mg nic I believe.

There's an excellent android app.
It will help you with all of those formulas.
I'm not a DIYer (yet).
But I've heard reviewers talk about it.
You can find it in the market for free.

Thank you. I have an android & will search for it.

That is the solution I was looking for. Thanks for your help. I am still going to try to understand how to get that answer!

Which part? If you mean the nicotine, I just did thought about it like this:

The bottle that contains nicotine is 24mg per ml of liquid. There's 120 ml of liquid in the bottle. Thus:

24 x 120 = 2,880

There's a total of 2,880 mg of nicotine in the full bottle, ya? So if we added 72ml of 0-nic VG to this bottle (so that we would have 96ml PG and 96ml VG to hit our target 50/50 mix), we now have 192ml of liquid but the same 2,880mg of nicotine. Thus:

2,880 / 192 = 15

Heres how to enter info into EJUICE ME UP:

Top line (nic Strength e juice)= ENTER pg/vg ratio of ur nic and MG strength
Second line (Target Strength)= ENTER the MG strength of eliquid u are making
Third line (Amount to Make)= ENTER amount you are making, __mil
Water/Vodka/PGA (Adding any additives? Enter the percentage here if so__%

Flavor #1.....= ENTER the % u are using
Flavor #2....= ENTER the % u are using
Flavor #3.....= ENTER the % u are using
Flavor 4......= ENTER the % u are using

BOTTOM SECTION= change 50% PG 50% VG to the ratio u are creating



----> hit bottom right TAB "Calculate"

*****the exact amounts u need to the tenth of a millileter will now be revealed ( the amount of nic, pg, vg and each individual flavoring )

Yes, I unserstand that part now. Thanks for the explaining.
