The title of the thread isn't a question, sure it has a question mark, but it isn't asking anything

You will end up with 480ml of 6mg/ml

less see... 120ml of 24gm + 120ml = 240ml 12mg + 120ml = 360ml 6mg + 120ml = 480ml 3mg
or is my brain not up to speed yet?

It is 24/4= 6
So if i want 3mg I should get 120 ml of 12mg nicotine
I don't know how I calculated it, i think i am sleepy
Do you think it will be a good base or it is very high vg?
Thanks fulks

You don't need us to do the calculations for you, just use a juice calculator:

Just keep in mind if you add 10% flavoring, or whatever, your final PG/VG ratio will change.
And your final NIC amount will be slightly lower also.
Now you've got it.
Though I use 6mg and about 350ml a month (and I'm nowhere near either a chain-vaper or a cloud chaser) so you'll probably be looking for larger nic purchases soon... it's much cheaper.
Your title doesn't mention VG (you can edit that if you'd like), but yeah 75VG is fairly common for sub-ohm use. Good flavor, plenty of vapor. Try it, see how you like it.
As mentioned... the percentages will change fractionally when you add flavor, but honestly... who cares? Are some of you vapers out there that anal?
Just picture the variance in retail juices, all saying the same ratio.
Again... a couple percent difference in the ratio and nic content? Who cares.
(6mg vs. 3mg is NOT what I mean... you'll need more base to get down to 3. But 3.0 vs. 2.7 is irrelevant.)
Just make it tasty and enjoy.
Well, if you assume the op is an expert, or experienced mixer, then maybe...
Has the op even made any DIY juice yet?
If the op has some experience then my apologies, please ignore the following
But...
A week later the op comes back with the questions:
Why does everything I make taste bitter?
Bad NIC, dump it all out and start over??
Made a mistake when mixing, or not enough TH, or...
Why can't I taste anything?
Maybe needs to try 20-30% total flavoring.
How do I add more VG now?
How do I add more NIC, not strong enough?
Think I got some bad PG/VG now what?
Gets overly complicated and confusing very quickly.
Even I make some mistakes mixing but at least now I only need to dump 15ml.
And I test my 100mg NIC base in a few small batches to make sure its good before diluting or cutting to 50mg. into smaller bottles.
Which is why I don't make a big batch of base anymore, as having to dump 240ml is not much fun.

I mixed twice already, my mix was 1 flavor int a premixed vg/pg/nicotine
I asked this question because nicotine is not available in my country so usually i order it from the internet, also i dont want to have a very concentrated nicotine since i have kids at home, vg is available and cheep, so i am thinking of ordering 120 ml pg with 12mg nicotine, this will make it shipped easier and less cost.
I will not mix them all together but i was asking about the idea
One more question came to me now, the used VG in eliquid, is it any special VG, or is it the same of the one you can buy from the pharmacy?

Probably fine, but we usually try to make sure it's USP grade tho.
Unless your concerned about what its made from.
Soy based, Coconut based, or Palm based.
Some of us prefer the Coconut or Palm based, but you'd probably have to order that online, and pay more for shipping.
Nothing wrong with that for sure.
But you should shake very well and the divide it up into smaller bottles, maybe 2x30ml drip tip bottles & 1 60ml glass for the freezer.
Depends on how fast you use it up, but keep 1 30ml out for mixing and put the rest in the freezer, or hiding in a cool, dark place.
Air is then only being exposed to the NIC in the 1 smaller 30ml bottle on a regular basis.
