Easy DIY E-Liquid Calculator for mixing juice for your electronic cigarette. Just fill out the form to get your recipe. Get the perfect PG/VG mix, nicotine strength and flavour. Make sure to bookmark this easy DIY e-liquid calculator to keep it handy.
For high quality and low cost pre-made e-liquid we recommend CigElectric’s E-liquid.
- Enter up to 7 different flavours to get your perfect flavour mix. (Click “yes” for “more than one flavour?”)
- Set the base liquid of your nicotine and flavouring to either PG or VG to get an accurate PG/VG ratio recipe.
- Adjust the drops per ml to match your pipet size or bottle top. Useful for making small batches where measuring the exact ml might be difficult.
- If you get “PV/VG not poss” this is because your PG/VG ratio is not possible due to the dilution requirements or amounts of your base liquids. You either need to change the ratio or use a different base for your flavouring and nicotine.
I hope you find this e-liquid calculator useful. Check out the rest of the blog for electronic cigarette reviews and more!

Hi my pg and vg is coming as a 70/30 mix. When using the calculator do I just add the vg and pg together to add in ml.
hi benji
i would just like to say thanks for this calculator, I’ve been trying to follow recipes online but couldn’t understand ho many drops etc i would need to use for %, this helps me greatly.
is there a downloadable version available?
thanks again
Craig
I have a 25mg/ml nicotine 100% vg base. And I bought a bottle of 0 nicotine 100% vg base. I want to make a 30ml bottle of 3mg/ml nicotine strength juice. How much nicotine should I use?
Hi Benji.
I just wanted to say thank you for an easy to understand and execute e-liquid calculator.
Its people like yourself helping others who really make a difference.

What’s the ideal flavor percent?
I first tried 20 % but found 25% better hope it goes well
That depends on the specific flavor concentrate and the PG/VG ratio. The more VG the more flavor needed to get the same intensity of taste. Usually the flavor percent can be somewhere between 2-10%.
What would you guys recommend if I’m using a high 70vg/30pg or even 80vg/20pg mix for my flavour concentrate, 10-12% maybe?
Is there an option that I’m missing if you use both pg and vg flavors?
Hey,
Just want to thank you. You’re online calculator has so far been the easiest to follow and thanks to you, I have just made my first liquid.
Now, the waiting game commences. I hope my Hazelnut Flatwhite turns out well
Your, not you’re
Just wondered why old Benji seems to avoid most questions aside the easy 1′s??, just an observation n just sayin lol
Hi Chris, I try and help as much as I can but I make no profit from this calculator and do have a day job! happy mixing.
So my wife, who is not a vapor bought me 4 30ml bottles of 0mg ejuice…I do like the flavors, how can I turn them into 18mg juice by adding nic to them, without diluting the flavor to much….I would really appreciate an answer, as all the ejuice calcalator sites are so confusing to me…thanx!
If you have some nicotine you can use this calculator to add enough to make 18mg. The stronger the nicotine base the less diluted they will be to preserve the flavour.
I do not understand how to use this calculator to add nicotine to already made e-juice that is 0mg nic. Can you please explain how to do this on the calculator to me? I would really appreciate the help and understanding.
Iv maded 1000L for e juce how long will it take to be ready it’s my first attempt at it iv have followed the instructions on my recipe chart is being three days an it still does not have hardly any taste my recipe is 72%vg nicotine to make the end Bach to be 2 mg nicotine 100ml pineapple that was a 85/15 vg pg mix iv mixed it once a day over the last three days it smells strong but not in taste could someone please contact me and try to help to shed some light on this problem I’m having my e mail address is [email protected]
if the flavour is not strong enough you may just need to add more. It is best to make small batches until you have a good recipe, then you can make larger mixes.
E-liquid should be ready as soon as you have mixed it but will develop over time, however the strength of flavour probably wont change to much.
Found this calculator so easy to use, thanks so much
i can’t work out what is the mix i need for a 70/30vg/pg at 3mg nic i 72mg base but a strong failover
Hello such am beginner and want to make a liquid with 70% and 30% PG VG with 3mg of nicotine, nicotine buy 50/50 basis with 3 mg of nicotine.

I forgot to tell u this Benji. Ive used your calculator for about 3 months for my small business ejuice in my place..THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ITS REALLY HELPFUL AND EASY TO USE!!!
Hi Benji
I make my own juice and on most calculations it shows the adding of water to the mix can you tell me why you would add it please !
Just to water down your VG cos it so thick
You can buy something called aqueous glycerin basically VG with water already added. It as to to be distilled water not tap water..lol
Need a little help…..I have a bunch of 3mg juice that is 80/20 max vg. I purchased nicotine from wizard labs that is 4.8%-48mg/ml with a solution balance ratio of 100%vg. How much would i need to add to a 50ml bottle or a 120ml bottle to increase the nicotine from 3mg to 6mg?
Hi, Benji
I’m new to this also. I bought a nicotine mix of 50/50 at 24 mg and some flavors. I’d like to make 15ml at 8 mg of strength. Can you help me?
Hi Angel,
To make 8mg strength from 24mg, you will need to use 33.3% in the mix (5ml of nicotine base) you can then add some flavours and some PG/VG to fill out the mix.
Thank you!
Good Day Benji, iam a newbie here and iam trying to make a 50PG/50VG with
three flavoring and a 6mg nicotine. I really have no idea on how to use the calculator. What should I do from the start of the calculator.
could you please help me out in a simple way that i may understand. Thanks in advance Sir and have a nice day.
I forgot to mention iam doing it with a 30ml
Hi,I have my vg, niccotine which is pg based, and Heisenberg concentrate.do I need any other ingredients to make e liquid.first time mixer.cheers

Hi, I’m using Capella drops, but I don’t understand what percent I should put in the calculator. I’m trying to make:
30ml using a 72 nicotine VG,
50:50 PG/VG base,
Target level: 6ml nicotine.
Can you shed any light on how much of the drops I’d need to put in with that please?
hi benji I cor get my head around it lol. I want to make a up 40ml in total with18ml nicotine strength. can u plz tell me how many ml’s of each I would need to ues in total. my nicotine base is 72mg in vg
Hey Neil,
To make 40ml e-liquid at 18mg strength (using a VG nicotine base) with 10% flavouring (PG based) and a 60PG/40VG ratio:
10ml nicotine base
4ml flavouring
20ml PG
6ml VG
brilliant thanks benji
Great calculator! This is my go to site! Thanks alot!
Awesome calculator. Really easy to use. Just made up 30ml 50/50 mix 12mg nicotine. Thanks
Hey, I’m new to the dyi e juice thing. I bought a nicotine base that was already 50/50 at 24 mg. and a bunch of flavors. Can this calculator help me find a mix? Thanks
Hi benji can u plz tell me what the difference is with pg and vg nicotine bass thanks Neil.
Hi Neil.
Nicotine has to be diluted into a base (either PG or VG) as pure nicotine is extremely toxic. The difference is that if you use nicotine with a PG base it will add PG to your mix, if you use VG, it will add VG so you will need to adjust accordingly.
hi benji thanks for the reply
im using the calculator and im trying to make 18ml strength
my pure nicotine is 72mg/ml in vg
so
Nicotine Base is 72mg
Target Nicotine Level target is 18ml
Amount to Create 40ml
Flavour Percent is 20%
PG % ? I don’t no what to put here
Drops per ml ? I don’t no what to put
can you pls help me
its my first time mixing lol
iv been told to put 10ml of nicotine/10ml of vg 10ml of pg and 10ml of
flavouring and it will make 40ml is this ok to do?
thanks neil.

PG% = is what you want the PG /VG ratio of the final mix to be. This is normally anywhere from 20% to 70% PG.
drops per ml = Only needed if you are using drops to measure your amounts. You will need to work this out depending on the dropper you are using. Take 1 ml of liquid, drop it through your dropper and count how many drops there are to push out the whole 1ml, This is your drops per ml value.
The output will be correct for the inputs, with your settings you should see 8ML flavouring and 12ML VG
thanks benji
hi benji I cor seem to get my head around it lol I want to make up 40 ml in total. with 18ml nicotine strength. so can u plz tell how many ml of each I need to put in to make this quantity using 72mg of nicotine base in vg. thanks neil.
Hi there..newbie here..i juat cant understand how to use the calculator..i wanna brew 50/50 pg/vg and 6mg nic..can help me how to use the calculator?
Set:
Target nicotine level = 6
PG % = 50
Hey man…can you tell me exactly what flavor % means on the calculator and how it changes when adding more than one flavor. .. for instance I have vg/pg base ( which is probably about 85 or 90% VG very thick )already made up with a 3 milligram nicotine already addded… and I am trying to figure out how many milliliters of flavor to use just in a 10 ml just so I can figure out for bigger batches in the future my flavoring is a PG base and I have a few different flavors I want to add for some possible good recipes but I’m not really understanding what the percentage part means on your calculator so how would I go about adding different flavors as far as percentage goes what does the percentage really mean if I have maybe 8 MLS and I’m trying to make a 10 ml… do I need to add the other two mls of only flavoring or add more of the base to it and this would be the same scenario as if I was making a 30 ml…. just trying to really make some good flavors I work in a vape shop that we are selling now PG and vG base with 3 nic and flavor concentrates but only to take home in mix at home… we only sell already mixed premium flavors in the shop… but I am trying to clone or make very similar type uses to the premiums which are uncle junk’s or suicide bunny or cut wood or just come up with my own really really good flavors …please help man… I really appreciate it… oh… and the flavors we are using are Lorans.. and flavor West so, I only have about 12 flavors now should I look into trying other companies online for better concentrate flavors to mix in as far as like sugary icing to add to a cinnamon roll or just in general better flavors and concentrates… like are there better icing or frosting or milky concentrates then Lorraine or flavor West… sorry for so many questions I just really want to make some real good juice I have been dripping for almost 3 years and I have a good palate but just want to make sure I’m getting the best flavors and calculated portions of concentrate in my juice when using a pretty thick base… thanks again
when you are using the “more than 1 flavour?” set to “yes”, you can input the % of each flavour you want to use. If you set flavour 1 to 5% and flavour 2 to 5% you will have a total flavouring of 10%.
Deciding on the flavour amount is where to the time, practice and refining your recipes come into play.

Hi there,I’m after making 30ml of liquid with 10% flavour. The calculator works this out as 6ml of flavouring which is obviously 20%. Could you enlighten me, am i missing something?
Thank-you in advance
Sorry,disregard that post,had my calculations wrong
Hi, I live in Japan where it’s illegal for shops to sell nicotine directly, but legal for me to import for personal use.
My concern is the shop I found directed me to a site where I can buy 99% pure lab grade nicotine. Needless to say this seems like a very dangerous thing to be handling, but out of curiosity do you know of any resources that can teach me safe handling and mixing.
As it doesn’t have any PG or VG base I worry about shelf life, toxicity, and how to ensure it mixes properly into my solution so I get good distribution of nicotine throughout my mix.
Honestly I’ll most likely seek a different source for weaker PG solutions, but I’m still curious to know if you have any experience or knowledge about using such high purity nicotine.
Steering well clear until I know more.
I would avoid this strength nicotine completely. You would need lab grade materials and knowledge to handle it safely. Perhaps you could enquire if this supplier could dilute for you.
Hi there, I’m new to this mixing bizzo & a friend has been doing it for me but now I’ve found your calculator and without help am struggling.. hoping someone has the time to help me re this please?
I have half a 50ml bottle of PG 100% nicotine at 4.8% (xxhigh), about 150 mls of vegetable glycerin and 2 x 30 ml bottles of doubler ejuice and a 5 ml doubler. I am on 4mgs nicotine and am making a friend a bottle at 8mgs..
each time I try to do this here I get stuck what to put as Nicotine Base Strength , Amount to Create, & Drops per ml. can u help pls??? ty
target nicotine level = 4
base strength = 48
amount to create = how ever much you want to make
drops per ml = only needed if you are using drops to measure your amounts. You will need to work this out depending on the dropper you are using. Take 1 ml of liquid, drop it through your dropper and count how many drops there are to push out the whole 1ml, This is your drops per ml value.
Hi. I want to have a premix 70vg/30pg with no nic. Given 100ml bottle, if i put 70ml vg and 30ml pg will it give me 70/30mix? I read most of the flavors are pg base. Will it still be 70/30? Thanks
This is the very best calculator for making e-juice that I have found anywhere on the Internet. Thank you Benji for making this available for our use.
no problem, glad you like it!
First attempt at making my own liquid. Made 50/50 mix lemon and lime but it has a nicotine taste. I made it to 10mg. Any help to get rid of that taste. Would seeping help get rid of that?
steeping might help but if it is truly a taste from your nicotine then i would suggest finding a different supplier. At 10mg you should not be tasting it. It may also be just too strong flavouring, if this is the case try cutting the flavouring used by half and see how that affects it.
I’m new to this can I just get my flavor max VG and mix it with my PG or do I need separate flavor and VG
all depends on the PG/VG ratio you want. No problem using max VG if you are dripping or using an RTA that can handle the thicker liquids.
This is by a country mile the best and easiest calculator available, and many thanks for making this available. I made my own ‘juice’ last night for the very first time and although I haven’t tried it yet I am convinced that it will be perfect.
I agree thank you so much!!!!

Sir,
I’m new in diy liquid, I heard that alcohol such as vodka can boost flavor and less steep is that true? and how much of amount will it be maximum for 30ml liquid?
Yes, some people add alcohol or water to their mix, it will change flavour and throat hit, but I don’t think it should affect steeping.
Hi.. just wanted to say thanks for the calculator, very handy!!
also steeping, is it necessary and if so, how long should you allow? Tha ks in advance. JB
It all depends on the juice you are making. Generally creamy / custard and tobacco mixes will improve with steeping where fruity flavours will need less. It will always depend on the recipe so taste after mixing it then try it a week later.
Want to steep fast? Crock pot on warm 24 hrs.
hi just want to know ,.from a 36 nic 100% pg base what is the nic strength PER DROP,.what is one drop ????
This will all depend on the pipette / dropper you are using. you need to drop 1ml of liquid and count the drops. You will then know how many drops / ml.
hello ,
what isn the best flavor percentage to have so it would not be too strong ?
thank you
This all depends on the flavouring you are using. some will work as little as 1-3% where other might need as much as 25%. Start low and slowly add more flavouring until you find your sweet spot.
hi I want to make my own juice but no nicotine 0mg if I bought whats the best mix to do if I want to do this could I do 50/50 pg and vg and then add flavor and if so how much flavouring would I need to say do 200ml as want it to taste good flavor wise. many thanks
This will all depend on the flavouring you are using. I would recommend mixing up your 50/50 base then slowly adding flavouring until you find the right amount.
i forgot to mention..you dont need to use sweetener on tobacco type flavours btw
simply awesome..i have tried to use many before and my head has exploded…this does what it says on the tin..thanks for this..Regarding sweeteners..i have used one drop per 5ml of finished amount..seems to be the right amount if anyone wants guidance on sweetener
hi my friend uses your calculator and its worked amazing on blackcurrent but he did cherry bakewell and it seems to burn they liquid in my tornado 2 anything we can do to stop the burning
The burning will be because you are using a too high wattage / voltage or your set-up is not feeding liquid quick enough to keep the wick saturated will liquid. Reducing the VG content will improve wicking.
