Welcome to you pauley64.

Yes, you'll want 2.5ml of 72mg Nic Base in a 10ml bottle to give you a finished strength of 18mg . . . . 2ml of flavouring at 20% - although that will depend and vary as to what concentrates you're using?

Then 5.5ml of your pre-mix, presumably you're not too bothered about finished VG/PG ratios?

Are you using a calculator?

thank you so much for the help I used calculator but was getting mixed result that was good of you sorting this out again thanks

You're welcome pauley64, hope it did help you a little.

This is the calculator I've used since I first started mixing . . . .

Any other questions you may have, please don't be afraid to start a thread on the Mixology Board where this thread is stickied . . . . we've lots of helpful and experienced mixers on the forum who will be only too happy to help out.

The more you mix, the more straightforward and clearer the process becomes - like most things!

I would really like to mix my own liquid but after reading all the info it I afraid my eighty year old brain just can't take it all in, I'm not thick but just don't have the concentration I once had, all I want to do is to mix a 100% PG with a 6 nic of what ever juice I decide on. SIMPLE, LOL. Can anyone help this old brain, I would very much appreciate it, Jamesrd.

No worries jamesrd , there's a lot to take in if you've never ever mixed before, whatever age your brain might be . . . . . firstly, are you sure you would like a 100% PG finished ratio? Most vapers, but not all, like a little VG in their eliquid - what do you currently buy in premade eliquid?

Remember, the vast majority of flavour concentrates, certainly the most popular are all PG based . . . . not all require using at the same concentration however, which is where you would find using a mixing calculator helpful, as that will calculate the different volumes needed.  

Assuming you do indeed want a 100% PG eliquid, you'll want three ' ingredients ':

Nicotine Base

Flavours

PG

Here are a couple of calculations for you:

Using 18mg Nic Shot, making 30ml using 20% of flavour concentrate

Using 72mg Nic Base making 30ml using 10% of flavour concentrate

This is the calculator I've used which can be downloaded from here:
