First time in a long time, amounts needed please.

[davemorton]

Going to have a mix up tomorrow, and its the first time in years. I tried to open the calculator that one of the stickies linked to, but it just says forbidden access.
I have 6 different flavour shots, and they all need between 15-20% concentrate, so thinking I will mix up 240ml of stuff (vg/pg/nic) so I can then separate it into 40ml lots, then add the concentrate (10ml I believe) to make it up to 6 x 50ml.

Therefore, could anyone give me the amounts that I need to make 300ml (in total) of juice please.
Im using 7.2 PG nic.

Also, what do people wash their new juice containers out with, just hot water, soapy water, vodka, sterilizing solution?

Many many thanks.

Edit: oops, forgot to say what mix I want. Not really bothered, I am using this mix for DTL, so whatever is best for that. is it 70/30? Really not sure/bothered.

You will also need to decide what nicotine strength you want in the e-juice.

20.83 ml nic

That'll make 5mg/ml

Thanks everyone for their replies.

Im just on with this, and my VG (darkstar) is very thick, what do people usually add to the mix to make their liquid more erm, liquid like? I used to use vodka, but since it is for DTL, I think it might make it a little harsh on the throat. PLease say something that a normal house might have in stock.

Warm VG is a lot more runny = standing your bottle of VG in a bowl of hot water
or add 10% distilled water or any good quality water to your VG.

Usually used is 'purified water BP' or distilled water. Available or via order from your chemist. Depending on your setup, you may find that the PG in your mix and flavourings results in an eliquid of ok viscosity. You could also try using a hot water bath for your bottle of VG to improve workability.

Thanks for the comments. I mixed it all up, and it does not seem any thicker now than a shop bought liquid I have, so will leave it for now while it steeps. With hindsight though, I should have warmed it up as I was mixing, so that the nic liquid mixed in better, as I just mixed it with a spoon before pouring 24 ml into each container from the 240ml I had mixed up.
