Greetings ELR !! I’m a complete newbie. I’ve been reading and taking notes for many hours. Compliments to daath, Admin and all who have built this site and all who have contributed. ELR is incredibly managed and offers a tremendous amount of information. Information Overload, ha ha. I think I’m getting close to making my first order. The only thing that has me still baffled is the VG PG Nic ratios, but I’m still looking. The first use of the calculator may be a little puzzling too, but I’ll get it, sooner or later!
Kudos to all you fine people!

Welcome!!
Definitely buy those separately (not a premixed base, in case you were considering that). If you’re a tank user I’d probably start around 60/40 - 80/20 vg/pg, if you’re a dripper probably 70/30 or higher vg. You’ll find your sweet spot after playing around a bit. 
Good luck! Enjoy yourself!!

Thank you VapeyMama! What about ordering, I was thinking of ordering VG and PG and also a PG/Nic. base? OR, should I ask questions in the “Beginners” forum?

Yep that’s the best way to go. Pg nic is the most popular because its a lot easier to shake properly. I personally use 50/50 48mg nic just to keep my vg higher without having to use 100mg nic. Totally a personal preference thing. But yes, by all means please feel free to ask more questions in the beginner section!

Thanks, great info. I was going to order 100 Mg PG, but you say the more diluted (48mg. nic.) allows for higher VG mixes. That helps, thank you. I’m going to hop over to “Beginners” and check things out. See ya around!

I meant the 50/50 allows for higher vg when using 48mg nic since you have to use >2x as much as you would with 100mg. I’ll just follow you over to the beginner’s section so we don’t keep derailing this thread.
