Is your concentrates marked as PG?
If your concentrates are made with PG and you use anything more than 10% flavouring you won't ever get a 90%VG juice.

Your flavour concentrates are probably in a PG base, which is probably the issue.
What percentage flavouring are you hoping to add?

tried useing 15% 1st flavour not changed anything other than
 0
0
2
0
changed flavour 1 to 9 instead of 15%
flavour 2 to 4
flavour 3 to 3
still saying need to add more pg
never have an issue with my normal mixes

If you're making a 0mg mix . . . . just add the volume of flavour for your chosen ratio/bottle size - then top up with VG wildpolecat.

Add your PG & VG quantities together to give you that figure - or like I do, until it looks about the right level in the bottle!

But as the gents have said, unless you use only 10% of a PG based concentrate, you'll not get a 90% VG mix.

Or you could try VG based concentrates if it really is that critical.

If you have 15% of concentrates, change it to a 15/85 PG/VG ratio wildpolecat... should work fine then

dropped vg down to 80% all calculates then il leave it at that aslong as its 0nic i think it will fine i will get my head around the 90 part when iv not done a 12hr day thanks for the help folks

Unless whoever it's for has a raging PG intolerance, I don't think they'll notice a vast difference at that slightly lower VG ratio wildpolecat.

The calculator takes the PG which your concentrates are in into account when calculating the amount of PG/VG needed for the mix.
If you want 90% VG then that only leaves a possible maximum of 10% PG for that mix so your concentrates can't be any higher than 10% in total because they themselves are PG.

@perpetuano i doubt he will notice the difference its so minimal he wanted a juice he had cloning not entirely sure im the right guy to clone it i barely get by with my own juices and my cooking is a dam sight worse i think i made a rod for my own back when i gave him a bottle of juice i made because he was broke till payday and ran out

Get Off My Cloud so if adding 2 concentrates if both were 5% it would even out rather than say a 10 and a 5 because the 5 pushes it over the limit?????

Correct! you can't get over 100% in TOTAL
so at 90% VG you only have 10% to play with.
