Thanks Mage!

IMHO it is overly complicated for nothing. Let me explain...

I calls for a guesstimate wrt % of flavouring etc... I have failed with guesstimates. It is great if you already have a recipe and you want to reduce nic content whatever without loosing flavour, even then the accuracy is, so so.

The way I mix is, mix a base of 75/25 or even 80/20 PG/VG @ whatever mg, then add the flavouring, drop by drop, flavour by flavour and then figure out the % after you have reached where you want it. Then that % can be used for subsequent recipes, to pin point accuracy using the calc. The decrease in nicotine level is negligible unless you really want to be specific.

It is a great mixing tool, it's not a great developing tool, is what I am trying to say.

So when I try something new, I use my base (already prepared, at the right mg of nic) and place in a 3ml bottle, then add the flavouring until I am happy. As I go along I drip my recipe on a clean atty, until I get it right, blowing out the atty as I go along increasing strenght. I hope this all makes sense. LOL
