VG,PG And Nicotine.

What's wrong with getting some plain pg and diluting the nic pg down to a lower level before starting to mix in the vg and flavors?  Makes sense to me ..... unless I'm missing something.

That would only make a higher PG ratio because he would be adding more of the nicotine base to get his 16mg.

Dilute the 72 nic down to something more reasonable in a separate bottle/container/whatever before adding any vg or flavor.  How's that resulting in a higher pg ratio?

[Compenstine]

At 72mg Nic this would be his mix for 30ml. Notice the Ratio:

If he diluted his Nic base to say 50mg with PG this would be the resulting PG/VG ratio for the same mix:

I didn't think about diluting the base, which I do all the time. That's why I use VG base.

[Compenstine]

I do as well but, as you said, I work with 100% 100mg VG base as well. I have a lot of high VG customers and I just can not achieve a high VG ratio unless I use a VG Base for the nic.

[FXRich]

Using 72mg nic PG base he would have to lower the nic level to 14.4 to achieve a 40PG/60VG mix, or 7.2 nic to get a 30PG/70VG mix.

Exactly, he would have to lower his total mg of nicotine over all to get a higher VG. By doing that he cuts the amount of overall PG in the mix so he can raise his VG content.
