Thanks for the quick replies…so is this bad? Most of the recipes I see are 24 mg/ml or a little more, but I don’t recall seeing any 100
Nah. 100 mg/ml and they write 100% PG, but in reality it’s more like 90% PG (and 10% nicotine) 
You only use a little of the nicotine in your juice, so unless you like “max VG” you probably want to add a little more PG (unless you juse high flavor % - they’re usually PG-based)…

Lisa,
This is where you need to be careful with DIY. It is absolutely IMPERATIVE that you understand the strength of your nicotine or you can hurt yourself greatly. If you have any doubt, and this should really be done anyway, you have to measure your nic strength.
IF your nic is 100mg/ml and you spill it on yourself you can die. I know people that were hospitalized for days, it happens. Nic is a poison at high concentrations. Thus, if it’s 100mg/ml, I would strongly recommend you dilute a portion down to, say 18-24mg/ml and work with the diluted nic when mixing recipes.
This does not address your entire question and that is intentional. I will not provide further info until you are 100% certain about the above. This is a fundamental necessity to creating e-liquid and it’s unsafe to proceed without understanding the liquids you are working with and their dangers. Nicotine, in particular, can hurt you immediately.

Yes, just do it like @Lolly writes - and check off “Set these values as default” - that way they’re pre-set next time you create a recipe or when you adapt an existing one

i’m using 100mg/100ml based in vg, loven the pepper… 
lol
I’m pretty sure you use 100 mg/ml … 100mg/100ml comes out to 1 mg/ml which it definitely isn’t

Nope, it sounds really smart.
Given your question, maybe we can do this interactively and make a kewl thread on how to start mixing from scratch. If you up for this, please link me to the exact bottle of nicotine that you purchased.
This will be a little slow, but I promise you will be helping countless people out there. I’m no expert on anything vaping related, but this is on a forum visible to tens of thousands of regular mixers. They will weigh in if I say something st00pid.

You simply start a recipe and plot in your desired mg - like @Lolly wrote above:
The details are in the recipe below - it will tell you exactly how much to add
Or take @therabidweasel’s offer - that is great!

I hope this works…im computer illiterate…
Hey Lisa, have you been over to the recipe side of the site? This is where you can create your own recipes…here’s the link if you haven’t
I completely agree with @therabidweasel… Nicotein is very dangerous especially at 100mg/ml. Read up on diluting that nic… You should have a very good understanding of nic and dilutions before you even atempt your first mix… 1ml of 100mg/ml of nic in 9ml of pg will make 10ml of 10mg/ml of pg solution. Learn how I did this calculation and what it means and you will be ready to take the next step. Also get gloves and until your ready store that nic in the freezer well away from anyone or anything just my 2 cents and I hope this helps
