So basically you want to add nicotine to your already made 0 nic juice?
what strength are you aiming for? It's up to you whether you buy VG or PG base, just down to your own preference. what strength of nicotine were you looking at buying?

Hi geordie_vaper I'm at the same stage, fortunately for maths dummies like us there's a mixing calculator, see mix calc on the toolbar near the top of the page on the rightish, happy mixing

I will look into this as it seems something weird is going on on the iPhone/iPad at the moment.

Most people use 54mg/ml or 72mg/ml nicbase. The stronger the nic base the less that will be needed to achieve the desired strength of e-liquid. (In the UK anything 75mg/ml or higher is illegal / requires a poisons licence).
Edit] Typo

so 72 mg/ml would be better cause less would be needed to add? For the same quality, 72mg/ml is usually more expensive than 54mg/ml, but requires less.... So for general mixing it's swings and roundabouts between them. If however you are adding to existing e-liquid, you will dilute the flavour less with 72mg/ml.

Remember your forum discount codes for vendors. I assume you know where to find them. discount codes linkand note if using stronger base then you have more diluents to ass whoch you need to buy. So take this into account when calculating real cost of 72mg base compared to 54mg. In effect you need to add 1/3 more diluents. of if you buy 100 ml 72mg/ml base then you need to add 33.3ml extra diluents overall compared to 54mg/ml base. I know it is small but it does add cost. If PG is say £3 for 100ml then it adds £1 in effect to the cost of 72mg base. I can vouch for PMSmoking being a reliable vendor, Dave sends ASAP and gets to you quickly. Also while at it he sells flavourart concentrates and his price is competative especially if ordering juice at same time. I like flavourart flavours and now use nothing else.
