PG content of nicotine

I’ve been using VG based nicotine for some years and never had any issues with the calculator, but I’ve just switched (It’s cheaper) to PG based and hit an issue. The calculator will ask me the (same as VG) PG content of nicotine and if I put in 100% (same as VG) it tells me there is an issue with the numbers.

Usual mix: 100ml, 70/30, 18mmg nic, 24ml flavour shot.

Any suggestions as to where I’m going wrong?

See if this helps. I vape 6mg/ml. I mix with PG based 100mg/ml nicotine. Try plugging in your numbers. I don’t know how you have it filled in but I’m guessing you haven’t adjusted the VG content of nicotine to 0.

Your PG / Ratio is off because you Nic strength is only 18mg

Question…Is you Nic Strength 18 or is that your desired Strength?

Try to just hit the max VG buttin then input your numbers instead of choosing 70/30. Not sure that will work with your low nic strength and higher Flavor total…The Ratios are already off before you even get to enter flavor pcts

Hitting Max Vg should give you roughly 60/40

If you know how, post a screenshot of your numbers in the calculator. That will allow us to zero in on what the issue is.

Adjust your PG/VG ratio (more PG) to allow for your flavoring, which is also PG based.

Your going to have to be at 50pg 50vg unless you lower Flavor total and Desired Nic

I also use a like pre-mix base I think that’s what you meant either way I’ve never been able to make a recipe on here because I write out the whole thing I go to save it and at the end it says the numbers are off just like you said and deletes it and reloads the page I get
6 mg 100% VG Nicbase from delosi,
Luckily I’ve got good at keeping notes on index cards till later input into the computer manually it’s a shame though cuz it’s made me drift from this site. I still get the email though :smiley::smiley: hopefully that’s solution comment under yours is the answer maybe I I never even noticed I tried it with Max VG also and I tried it clicking pre-made base nothing worked it was a bummer now I just have a million index cards! And a cork board

Change to 80/20 your flvs are pg based and your prog going over the pg amount if it a lot of flavs at high percentages.it happens a lot to people tryna mix 50mg salt nic when they us 100mg pg nic.I lowered to 20mg salt and use 100mg in a 50/50 base or vg base and use super concentrates that dont need a total of 18-25% total flavoring for pods
