Need help in how to make a base mix

[jcol]

I have finally got some time to make some mixes, and as i am only going to do some 5ml samples, i thought it would be easier to make a batch of base and then just add the flavourings to it.
So i am after amounts to make
10mg nic
50/50 ratio
I have about 6 recipes i want to try (thx chykensa for organising the recipes) so will need about 24ml of base.

So i am thinking, if flavourings are about 20% of total,
a 5ml base mix would be
Nic 0.93ml
PG 0.57ml
VG 2.5ml

So then i would just have to add 1ml of Flavouring/s



Have i worked it out right?

Try the e-juice calculator at ecigvape.com....It's free...I use the ten flavor with vg/pg adjustment one....Hope this helps.

Yes, that's right - if your using 54mg nic

Careful with 20% flavour ... some are ok at that level, but some will blow your socks off It is easier to add flavour than to take it away

Yeah is 54mg, i am following some of the recipes from our recipe thread, so the flavouring strength should be fine.
Thanks all

I have worked it out on ejuicemeup calculator and everything is as you have said but I get that you need 1.57ml of pg and not 0.57ml. I should check that one again jcol before you go ahead.

sorry just had another look and I hadn't added the flavouring% so you are most definitely right. So sorry for that

As above, start on the conservative side with new flavourings that you aren't sure about, it's easy to add more, but rather more tricky to take flavour away!
But the basic base you proposed is sound - go for it!
