Thanks Adam. Although I've just been guessing how much to add to the unflavoured juice. Been putting about 15 drops of flavour in a 10ml bottle.

I'm using unflavoured 18mg VG nic juice perpy from LT & just adding flavouring. Haven't moved on to attempting to properly mix my own juice yet lol.

I know . . . but you'd still do better to calculate what percentage of flavouring to use though Hissie, which the calculator will do for you. Whether you're mixing from scratch or using a pre-mix base. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Had a look at the calculator and put in that I was using 100% VG base @18mg. Then I put in want to make 16mg liquid & 10% flavoring. It's coming out at 8.89 base & 30 drops of flavoring. This is in a 10ml bottle. Does that sound like a lot of flavoring or am I missing something?

To make up 10ml using your nic base you would need 9ml of nic base and 1ml of flavouring for 10%, ( 20 Drops depending on size of drops )

Ah right, makes sense. Wonder why the calculator is coming out with these numbers then? I'm not very maths savvy lol.
Am thinking about buying the 24mg nic base & make 18mg strength juice.

This is in a 10ml bottle. Does that sound like a lot of flavoring or am I missing something? That sounds about right . . . 30 drops of flavouring to 1ml is more accurate than 20 and is what I always work on hissie. There's nothing wrong with the forum calculator, please trust it. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Many of us have changed the default setting to 30 drops on ejuicemeup sammy13 . . . . . if you use drops for small volumes of flavours, then you'll likely get improved results if you changed yours as well. Am thinking about buying the 24mg nic base & make 18mg strength juice. Easily done, you'll just need some plain VG as well hissie, to make 10ml of 18mg working on 10% flavouring: 7.5ml Nic Base 1.5ml VG 1ml Flavour

Many thanks perpy, much appreciated ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Just bought some Welch's grape flavour concentrate. I'm really hoping it tastes like the actual fruit juice.

Am I better off getting syringes or pipettes for measuring purposes?

Am I better off getting syringes or pipettes for measuring purposes? I get on better with syringes Hissie . . . 1m/2.5/5ml are the 3 sizes I tend to use the most of. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
