got to this site and it will walk you through your framework issues hopefully.

your welcome...lots of good info here...
I hear ya man. By the way using 100mg per mil of nic can be dangerous....you are using safety gear aren't you?

Heres the link for handling that stuff... And Im pretty new myself but glad I could help you out. Also mail distributor for the leaked one and they should replace.

It's really not that dangerous, assuming you a) aren't an idiot, b) don't have it anywhere kids/pets. I mix next to my sink, or sometimes in my sink if I'm pouring from a liter bottle into smaller bottles. I'm only talking about 100mg/ml, of course, nothing higher! If I get any on my hands I just wash it right off. YOu do, however, want to measure it accurately to avoid nic sickness (which is unpleasant) LOL
Your welcome. Better safe then sorry.
Did I miss you telling us what your drop size is? Will you using the fine advice contained in post #24?
For instance, I believe e-juice me up's default drop size is 20 drops per ml. Some of my flavor bottle tips drip 30 or 60 drops per ml.
If I'm mixing by drops with 3 different flavors that have 3 different tips/drop sizes, I have to re-calculate e-juice me up 3 times to get the correct # of drops.

Yes! Please ask!
Everybody here wants you to make juice you enjoy.
Even without a scale, it's not too tough to determine what drip size is coming out of a bottle.

I've also noticed using e juice me up will not allow me to put in 100% for my VG target. Other calculators will automatically make the adjustment as to what percentage of vg you will have after adding your flavors and nic but e juice me up doesn't. So if I enter 100 for vg to try to get the max vg for the recipe I'm making I will actually get negative numbers in the PG column. If you aren't looking at that column it would be fairly easy to miss. That along with varying sizes in droppers could easily put you under 30 ml in the end of the mix.
You literally CANNOT have 100% VG. It is impossible. The purest you can get is 99.6% pure VG. Even if your flavor is VG based, it still will have no less than 0.4% free water by content. Sorry if that bursts some bubbles, but, science is by the numbers.
I realize you can't truely have 100% vg unless you vape pure vg
A lot of times, it's just time. Degradation (steeping) is what allows the flavor to integrate with the VG and the nicotine to get all up in everyone's business. Try heating the juice to approx. 110 degrees F. Let it cool and breathe (remove cap) and try it again. Rinse and repeat as needed. Use only glass bottles for that! Plastic will leech into your juice and mess it up!
No offense intended, but, 99.6% is as good as anyone is gonna get. I know I mentioned that above. Even VG without flavor straight from the plant, never better than 99.6%. Water will always be present.
Yeah I wasn't trying to get 100 started at 100 then add the the pg flavor,sweetener and nic and whatever it knocks it to is fine but I tried it after it came up short and it was good then added the extra vg and it sucks now lol.....was worried the nic level would be to high if I used it like it was
None taken. It was more as an example of what the calculator does that could result in the loss of quantity in the mix. I know it's not possible but I had another calculator I previously used where I would just enter 100 for the target percentage and once I added everything else it would automatically adjust for everything and give me the max vg I could get with that recipe since it assumed I wanted 100.
Basically, what I'm telling you is, account for a 100% vg juice on any recipe thing as 95% vg. 5% is flavor. Bam! Done. That satisfies the program. As long as it's happy number equal up to 100%, it doesn't care where they are. If not, Idk...program is gifted or something.
Ok
Ok. At least that's out of the way. I'm going to bed now. It's getting early.
OK so if I wanted a 80vg 20pg 8nic down from 100mg
1% sweetener
10% flavor
30ml bottle
What's the results cause that's what I was going to make after my wife's max vg mishap. I'll see what you guys put then I'll try my calculator and see

(just to make sure this isn't the issue)
Out of curiosity, are you mixing directly in the 30ml bottle that you want to use?
If so, it wont be *full* once you put 30ml in it. The bottles can actually hold more then 30ml so you wont have a full bottle.
If your expecting it to be full once done, it could be why it seems like your missing 4ml.
From left to right:
30ml glass dropper bottle with 30ml light blue water in it (looks like it can hold over 35ml)
30ml Cylinder bottle with markings at 10ml, 20ml, and 30ml (looks like it can hold over 35ml)
30ml Boston Round with markings at 10ml, 20ml, and 30ml (looks like it can hold 35ml)
10ml Boston Round with a marking at 10ml (looks like it can hold 12ml)
The Cylinder bottle is something I bought for my own DIY mixes, the other 3 are standard e-liquid bottles that most sellers use.
I will usually measure out my nicotine, flavoring, and pg (if using it), then with the bottle next to one of these, just fill it up to the mark with VG. The 3 plastic bottles were measured out with small beakers and syringes for accuracy. The glass I just filled with a large syringe for this picture (I rarely use glass bottles so didn't already have one marked).

Let's do some math! Today, we're going to do percentages. We have a 30mL capacity object and want to find 1% of that. 30x0.01=0.3mL well, now we want 10%. 30x0.1=3mL. So, what if I wanted 80%? That's easy too. 30x0.8=24mL.
Ultimately, your formula is dependent on your nic base. If it's VG based, no problem. If it's PG based, still not a problem. You'll have to sub some percentage of flavor for nic. Best to use VG based nic. Doesn't subtract from your formula balance.
Example, 100ml bottle. 80/20 formula at 3mg nic. We're going to use 100mg vg based nic. In your 80% vg, 3ml will be nicotine. The other 77ml will be just vg. 20% of the formula is basically flavorings. Either flavors directly or flavor enhancements. So, your formula actually looks like this: 77%vg, 3%nic, 20% flavor.

Assuming 100mg 100% VG Nicotine, your mix would consist of the following for a 20/80 8mg 30ml total::
Nic = 2.4 ml
PG = 2.7 ml
VG = 21.6 ml
Flavor = 3 ml
Sweetener = 0.3 ml
Hope that helps.
Okay, no problem, here are the new numbers accounting for the PG nic ...
Nic = 2.4 ml
PG = 0.3 ml
VG = 24 ml
Flavor = 3 ml
Sweetener = 0.3 ml
I mostly use ejuicemeup but also use http://e-liquid-recipes.com/ when I need a mobile version. They both work great.

You're looking at it wrong. Math is in everything. Vaping, money, how many times you punch the methhead across the street in the face. Things like that. Put something entertaining with your Math and you won't hate it anymore. Unless you try calculus. Then my friend, good luck. Passed that class with a C-
