How to Calculate Flavour Bases (Make your own one shots)

[Skwoddy]

This may well have been covered elsewhere, but just a tip for those wanting to save time and syringe washing. I make bases both for my PG/VG/Nic and for multi flavour recipes using the following formula

Example: your mix has 4 flavourings and you would like to make 120ml of that flavour base

you know that you want to mix that base at 15% which is the total of all your flavour percentages added together.

Flavour 1 4%
Flavour 2 2%
Flavour 3 6%
Flavour 4 3%

Firstly, Divide your required amount (120ml) by the required strength (15)
120 divided by 15 is 8


Multiply all the numbers by 8

Flavour 1- 4% *8 =32ml
Flavour 2- 2% *8 =16ml
Flavour 3- 6% *8 =48ml
Flavour 4- 3% *8 =24ml

Now you have 120ml of 'One shot' which mixed at 15% would give you 800ml of finished eliquid


I make 30ml bottles 10 at a time and with a nic base this saves a bundle of time and many syringe washes/uses. 

Lastly, REMEMBER TO SHAKE ONE SHOTS AT ALL TIMES BEFORE USE, FLAVOURS ALWAYS FIND THEIR OWN LAYERS
