I've moved your thread from the Classified Board cigyc.

UK Flavours are a good place to look for supplies:

I'd suggest getting your head round the basics of mixing and having a go with the forum calculator before you plunge blindly in to DIY.

Awe THANKU Hun x

[Perpetua]

You're welcome cigyc . . . . the volumes of ingredients you use will depend upon your base Nicotine strength, what finished ratio of VG/PG you'd like.

So, if you buy a 70mg VG base and are aiming for roughly a 50/50 mix, you will need to make 50ml @18mg:

13ml Nicotine Base
15ml PG
12ml VG
10ml Flavouring

I've rounded those figures off for convenience sake . . . . but you do need a basic understanding of what you are doing.

No, that's not correct, what Perpetua said is correct

[vern]

if you have mixed squash for kids, then you understand already how to get your 72mg nic to become 18mg nic. You need to dilute it from 72 down to 18......and because 4 x 18=72 we can say:
1 part of YOUR nic to 3 parts of other ingredients. (to give us 4 total parts)
so a 10ml bottle would need
2.5ml of YOUR nic. (the 1 part)
and 7.5ml of other stuff. (the 3 parts)
if you want 20% flavour, then you need 2ml's of flavour in your 10ml bottle because 2 of 10 is 20%

so your recipe is now
2.5ml's nic
2ml's flavour
=4.5ml
there's your 18mg, and there's your 20% flavour

so you now need 5.5ml of either pg or vg or a mixture, to make a complete, full 10ml bottle.

but please take care, 72mg is the highest you can lay your hands on, and it is important that you understand it needs diluting before use to a much lower level. There are a multitude of online calculators available, play aroudn with the numbers until it starts making sense like my example values do. The it will all fall into place.

[Q]

PLEASE read Perpetua 's reply CAREFULLY..
Go to the calculator at the top of this page and play with it, over & over again until you understand EXACTLY how it works, THEN (and ONLY then) buy yourself some nic base (72mg), PG, VG, concentrates, syringes and disposable gloves and put all you've learnt into practice

No it's not cigyc . . . what I've already posted to help you is.

And, I'll again say unless you or anyone else take a little time to get to grips with the basics of mixing, you're never ever going to get good results and will just be wasting your time and money.

It really isn't difficult, calculators do all the work for you - but you must have some basic understanding of the process, which I don't think you have right now.

Have you tried using the forum calculator or reading any of the links I posted earlier?

[chykensa]

The forum calculator is easy to play with - add your nic base strength, the mix %age of flavouring you want. Hit 'generate recipe' and you will see the results. Play around with different strengths and mixes of PG and VG until you can see the difference in percentages. And please bear in mind that Perpetua's post is important - nic base needs to be handled with extreme care as it is really strong stuff, and needs to be well diluted, otherwise you will do some serious damage. Nitrile gloves are important too; get that stuff on your skin and you risk getting very ill
