How on earth do I make my own juice??

[beeratz]

I've found that too much PG triggers my migraines but there are loads of flavours I want to try that only come in a high PG content so I'm thinking it might be better for me to have a go at mixing my own juices, problem is I don't have a clue how to!!
Can someone attempt to explain how I'd go about doing it, in very very simple terms please lol (even then there's no guarantee I'll understand haha)
Thankyou muchly x

Buy a VG base Nicotine juice like this:

www.cig-eliquid.co.uk/Unflavoured_VG_E-liquid_DIY_base_52mg-5225_75ml_c2a31649/p649230_2871773.aspx

Buy some plain BP grade propylene glycol:

Buy your favourite flavourings from LF or ecigwizard.(Perfumers Aprentice)

Mix a small trial quanitity according to your requirements. Leave the mixed contents in the bottle with a muslin cloth on top for atleast 3 days to steep.

Vape..Be careful where you store and handle the nic base with extreme care. (nitrile gloves).

Do you reckon this might be a good starting point?

Plus this

Then I can get some more flavourings?
If those are ok then I will buy them and then I'll just have to worry about how to dilute the nicotine and all the rest of it ( that's the bit that reaally confuses me!) ???

Looks like a good starting point..What strength do you want the final mix and the PG/VG ratio to be?

[beeratz]

I'd want the final strength to be 16mg and the pg/vg - 50/50

i have just received the basic mixing kit and it is a very worthwhile purchase the 30mg nic is vg the flavorings are lovely and there is everything you need to start mixing i can recommend it,if you put the flavour you most like the sound of first i think that is the 1 you get as 10ml and james's flavours are spot on.

Digressing here a bit, you do know that if you contact sellers the good ones will make your juice how you like it? If you didn't want 100% VG for example, you could ask for 90 or 85.

It's just that I suffer form migraines, stress helps to bring them on and you mentioned the word 'worry' in your post.

Stress can be a trigger for mine too I didn't realise some sellers would do that, thanks for letting me know I'll get in touch with some. I've only really been using paradise vape and vapology as with those I can choose 50/50 so I've been a bit limited so far in terms of vendors.
I think I'll still have a go at mixing, you never know I may find it easy once I've tried but if it's not for me then at least I can say I had a go

You'll have to ask James to give you VG based nic juice for this:

7,5 ml VG based nic juice will contain 240 mg nic

2 ml flavouring

5.5 ml plain PG

will give you 15ml of 16mg strength VG/PG 50/50 with around 13% flavouring..

Excellent! Thankyou, it looks like really good value for what you get too.

Vapour World have a free mixing calculator to download. I haven't used it as I'm not mixing my own, but it looks like it will do all those calculations for you... nic strength and everything

Thankyou!! I've just ordered the two kits I linked to so I'll give it a go when it all arrives.
Where is the best place for more flavours? I've read the flavourart ones are good? Plus where can I find recipes or am I best just trying my own 'recipe'?
Sorry for all the questions lol
I really appreciate your help!
