But that would only be 16.6% flavouring fiddles

If you take your 100 ml bottle of 50/50 nic base & add 20% flavour (20ml) assuming flavor is 100% pg as most are you will end up with 120ml (12 x 10ml bottles) of 15mg At ratio of 58.33/41.67 pg/vg
costing 51.5p per 10ml bottle plus cost of flavouring

Ha, that's close enough so, if I did approximately the same nic mg, and same vp/pg ratio = and still used 20% flavouring but rather than the 18mg vpg used.

72mg vg base 500ml @ £36
pg @ £5 per 500ml
ag @ £5 per 250ml

what would that be per 10ml?

mmmmm I'm confused ???

Based upon the quantities given, inflation and tax, my initial estimate is

[vigowomble]

You can make 125ml of 14.4mg juice using 100ml of 18mg nic juice and 25mg of flavour at 61.8p per 10ml for nic

not by my calculator



Just assume nic base 2 is flavouring at 20% (20ml)

[vigowomble]

20% of 120ml isn't 20ml fiddles

A 60/40 mix using above figures comes out at 25p per 10 ml of 15mg e-juice ( plus cost of flavouring )

but we start with 100ml of base and 20% flavouring added to that is 20ml

[vigowomble]

Sorry fiddles, perhaps I'm not explaining myself properly. If you want the final juice to be 20% flavouring and 80% nic base you need 25ml of flavouring and 100ml of nic base, so 125ml at 1/5 flavouring and 4/5 nic base.

[sammy13]

Oh god now I am even more confused

I have now screwed all my bits of scrap paper up ???

I am trying to save a few pennies, but also not worried about spending a few extra pennies if it saves all the hassle of nine million ingredients.

so how much would using 100ml vpg 18mg and 20 % flavour ( no cost ) be as opposed to 500ml 72mg vg nic plus pg plus ag plus 20 % flavouring ( no cost )

very true
I added 20% of base total & you add 20% of overall total.
I hang my head in shame

Just to confirm -
I can use 18mg vpg - 100ml @£6.18, plus 20 % flavour free, aiming for something around 15/16mg 60/40.

or I can use 72mg vg nic @ £36, plus 20 % flavour free, plus pg @£5 per 500ml, plus ag @£5 per 250ml, aiming for something around 15/16% 60/40

Ok guys just run this calc again, as I was super surprised, but.

If I buy a 100ml bottle of 18mg 50/50 vpg @ £6.18, and use 20% falvouring I should be able to make 110ml which is 11 bottles so factoring the cost of the nic only would be 56p???

enjay, fiddles

Wait what?! How did I end up in this thread? Did you say my name three times or something?
