Ok so im double checking because a friend put just a litle doubt in my mind , if i mix the following is this right
100mg pg base 50ml + 100mg vg base 50ml =
100mg 50/50 pg/vg 100ml

Way to late or early for math but yes I think you should wind up with 100ml of 50/50 nicotine base that is 100mg strength.
Your volume would increase of course but your mg/ml would stay the same I would think.
IMO it would be like buying a gallon of BP 91 OCTANE and adding it to a gallon of Shell 91 octane petro.You will have two gallons but it would remain 91 octane but again I can only go by what little common sense I have left!

That is correct, but if your mixing by weight, you would need to adjust the weight for your nic (I believe) to 1.148 because of the differences in the weight of the pg (1.036 g/ml) and vg (1.261 g/ml) …
(1.261 g/ml + 1.036 g/ml) / 2 = 1.148 g/ml
Although I may be mistaken.

Your math is correct. If the MG of nic is the same between both bases the only variation is the ratio of vg:pg. That’s it.

One thing I would suggest also, is to make sure you mix the two different nics very well, but do not do so with heat and if possible, with as little oxidation as possible… the two nic abusers. Additionally, I would do a test batch of mixing prior to mixing the total of both the pg/vg nics… one might have an off taste and it would be a shame to ruin the total amount with a “all the eggs in one basket” approach without first knowing what the final results may be.

I bought 8oz amber bottles and I freeze all my nic because I have quite a surplus lol. From all my research, freezing it in smaller bottle will make it last longer because you’re not exposing the whole big bottle to fresh oxygen every time you mix and freezing it prolongs the strength and quality of it.

If you are concerned, get a nicotine testing kit and you will be able to see “exactly” what you are ending up with.

To be sure of proper mixing you can load all your information in the e liquid calculator correct? I hope lol…or Ihave been doing it all wrong

the nic turned out great , i like a 70 30 or 75 25 vg pg ratio , and using 100mg vg base i was going thru alot of pg that is why i mixed it usually i use pg base and i know illnget same pg ratio but if ibcld avoid buying PG often i will both were nicselect
Sounds good, never hurts to check things out right off the bat to avoid possible issues later wondering what went wrong… lol… have a good one…
