We’ve designed a simple straightforward to use PG/VG Ratio Calculator that will work out the final PG/VG ratio of your e-liquid when adding a nicotine shot (nic shot) to a shortfill bottle.
Simply input the PG/VG ratio and quantity of your zero nicotine free e-liquid or shortfill bottle and the amount of nicotine base and strength that you intend to add to it.
Our PG/VG Ratio Calculator will tell you the overall PG/VG ratio of your final mix together with its total volume in milliliters and the nicotine strength. This PG/VG Ratio Calculator is designed to be used in conjunction with our Nicotine Shot/Shortfill Calculator so you can decide which Nic Shot base to add to keep the PG/VG ratio you require.

| Final PG / VG Ratio of E-Liquid Mix: | |

| Nicotine Strength of Final E-Liquid Mix: |
We’ve written a detailed guide about Calculating PG/VG Ratios After Adding Nic Shots To A Shortfill which covers detailed examples with calculations for different PG/VG ratios.
You may ask why is this important and do I have to worry what my final e-liquid ratio is? In some cases no it isn’t BUT if your coil/pod that you’re using will only work at its optimum with a PG/VG ratio of no more than 50% then you can use our PG/VG Ratio Calculator to work out what base of nic shot you need to achieve your desired overall e-liquid PG/VG ratio.
Guidance Notes on Our PG/VG Ratio Calculator
Amount of Zero Nicotine E-Liquid: Enter the volume of zero nicotine e-liquid you have into the input box. If you’re using a shortfill bottle as your container, DO NOT enter the bottle size, only the volume of e-liquid that it contains.
PG/VG Ratio of Zero Nicotine E-Liquid: This is the PG/VG ratio of your existing e-liquid that you’re planning to add nicotine to.
Amount of Nicotine To Add: This is the volume of nicotine that our Nicotine Shot/Shortfill Calculator has said to add to achieve the final nicotine strength of your e-liquid mix.
Base Mix Of Nicotine PG/VG: This is the PG/VG ratio of nicotine that you will be adding to your e-liquid mix. You can use 100% PG or 100% VG, or a combination of the two to bring the final PG/VG ratio of your mix to the ratio you want. You can play with this ratio and hit ‘Calculate’ each time and check the results section to see how the PG/VG ratio alters.
Strength Of Nicotine: This is the strength of nicotine you will be adding to your mix. Nic shots will be 18mg or if using higher strength nicotine, input this value into the input box. If using higher strength nicotine i.e. 72mg, you may still have space in a shortfill bottle to add a little extra PG/VG to the mix.
Results: Our PG/VG Ratio Calculator will display the final ratio of your e-liquid mix, the total amount (volume) of e-liquid you’ve made and the final nicotine strength of your mix.

But of course you are absolutely right, the correct nomenclature for liquids is pg/vg
By the way, i am the owner of vapordna.gr

Hi Peter, thanks for the clarification. I’ve always used PG/VG in this order hence the 3 e-liquid calculators we have on our site use this format with PG being written first. Unfortunately over the years its become equally as common to reverse this order.
An absolutely incredibly helpful little service, tried working it out on a calculator but it ended up hurting my brain lol
Really helpful and will be adding it to my home screen on my phone for future use!

Hi Ben,
Thank you, we are really pleased you found our PG/VG calculator helpful. We do have other calculators on the site for e-liquid, coil building and battery drain which takes the struggle out of trying to work these things out. Even though I designed all these calculators, as like you trying to work things out long hand sends my brain in a spin too!
Love this calculator! Does exactly what i need. If I had only one criticism it would be that it has you enter in values in the order of PG/VG rather than VG/PG, with the latter being more commonly expressed in the world of E-liquids, so I have to keep remembering to enter it in the opposite way, a minor niggle. Great tool though.

Hi Adrian, thanks very much for your kind comments, glad you found it useful. I designed all the calculators we have here several years ago and at that time I always found it easier to say PG first then VG, hence I did the calculators that way but I do get your point. Thanks again, very much appreciated.
Finally found the calculator I needed! Thank you so much!
I am in Australia and getting 10% freebase nicotine
My favourite ejuice is 70/30 premixed and I need to add the nicotine and 100% unflavoured PG to make 60/40 VG/PG.
This is just what I’ve been looking for. THANK YOU!!
