Mixing help (again) please

[taz96]

So I bought some ready mixed nic base. It's 60vg/40pg at 12mg. All I want to do is add 1 flavour at 30%. I can't for the life of me work out how to use a juice calculator. I want to use 125ml of the base.
Would one of you wonderful people sort me out please.

37.5 is 30% of 125

True, but it is not 30% of the total made, if she is using 125ml nicbase PLUS flavour!

So Taz, you need to add about 53ml of flavour to your 125ml of 12mg/ml nicabase, for 30% flavour.

Oh dear I didn't mean to start a fight.. I only bought it pre-mixed 'cos I thought it would be easier, how wrong could I be...

... Don't worry taz96 .... jtc is wrong (if you want to use all the 125ml nicbase)!


He would be right if you wanted to make 125ml in total.

Postmodern Smoking@jtc Thank you both very much.

[jtc]

No worries
Sorry I steered you in the wrong way

[taz96]

jtc Don't apologise for trying to help. You had more clue than me.

Is there any help we can offer you Taz for using a juice calculator . . . . . which ones have you tried?

[taz96]

Perpetua I've tried the one we had on here, ejuice me up and I think steam engine. I never seem to get the same answer twice. I realize it's me not using it properly, but I just can't get my head around what I'm doing wrong.

I thought buying the pre-mixed base would help as less ingredients involved but that just made it worse. I do't like making a nuisance of myself having to ask every time I want to try a mix but I don't want to faffing about and/or wasting stuff.

ELR have one also which you might get on with e-liquid-recipes.com/create taz96

[Postmodern Smoking]

I don't mind, doing calculations for you taz96 ... or any other member... it really isn't a bother, although you may have to wait if I'm not online for an answer

I also have just made up a table, in case you might want to do something similar again (i.e. add a flavour at a certain percent to 125ml of 12mg/ml premix, 40PG/60VG). Just look up the flavour percent in the table and it says how many millilitres that it is. Hope that helps?


(Flavour assumed to be PG based)

[taz96]

joeten Can't work that one either, but thank you.

[taz96]

Postmodern Smoking That's going to be a huge help. Some time when you're not too busy, maybe you can show me where I'm going wrong.

Thanks to everyone for their much appreciated assistance.
