I see - ive misread that - thanks Roger.

If you want accurate % then you need both really.

Have a play with a mixing calc to see what you do...

I found I didn't really need pg.

Most of my mixes look like this...

54mg pg nic base - 33%
flavouring pg - 20%
vg - 47%

18mg - 47%vg/53%pg

Obviously less flavouring means more vg but I am quite happy with that.

Yup, I (eventually) have settled on 18-20mg @ 60Pg/40VG so I do need a spot of PG. It's handy to have it in. There's a couple of flavours I've found work better (for my taste)at 80/20 PG/VG, but only a couple.

I definitely plan to add pg to my mixing set - I just havnt bothered yet!

If you want 24 mg with 10% flavour no pg added would give you -

nic base pg 54mg - 44.3%
flavour pg - 10% - 10%
vg - 45.7%

Therefore a 45.7/54.3 pg/vg mix.

Hope that makes sense.

Swapping for a vg base would give you 90% vg.

Those figures are the wrong way round Tom

In the recipe organiser those percentages would give a 54/46 PG/VG
In breakthru you would have to remove 2.62ml of PG

Best advice I could give to anyone thinking of starting mixing.

Read as much in this section as you can, there is a TON of great info.
Get a good calc, and use it.

Update on this one just got an email from LT Ecigs explaining what i need and what quantity,s to make 30ml Menthol 50/45

You would need the 54mg Platinum ice to hit something near 50/50 PG/VG 24mg
mix.

Heres the recipe for ml if you use our products:
13.3ml nicotine base
13.7ml VG
3ml Menthol flavouring.

This will give you a 55/45 PG/VG mix due to the fact that the flavoruing is
on PG basis and the nicotine is also on PG basis.

so im on me way to mixing but just one thing i have Boots VG do i need to dilute it a bit ?

You may not have to as your base is PG, but I would a little as it makes it easier to work with BA. Try 10% dilution.
