About LinkBacksThe number of drops in 1ml varies a lot, 20 is around average. Apparently drop size is determined by viscosity and not all eliquids are the same.
The number of drops in 1ml varies a lot, 20 is around average. Apparently drop size is determined by viscosity and not all eliquids are the same.
I will need to adjust the above formulation via both dropping PG in place of glycerine, while also working in parts of 12 instead of parts of 10, in order to acheive a 2 mg solution from a 24 mg high nic solution. Will the following work, while leaving an end result that is neither too thick nor too thin?Originally Posted by Kate
16.66% distilled water (2 parts)
16.66% LorAnn candy flavouring (2 parts)
8.33% commercial eliquid (1 part 24 mg nic)
58.33% glycerine BP/USP/food grade (7 parts)
The above, if workable, will apply to the first 50 ml bottle of 24 mg high nic solution. I plan to use the second bottle to create a 1 mg nic solution as follows, providing it is also workable:
16.66% distilled water (2 parts)
16.66% LorAnn candy flavouring (2 parts)
4.16% commercial eliquid (1/2 part 24 mg nic)
62.5% glycerine BP/USP/food grade (7.5 parts)
My big concern with both of the above formulations is the quantity of distilled water will leave the solution too thin, although the thickness of the glycerine might offset the higher levels of water.
Any suggestions or tips will be appreciated.
Blimey, that sounds complicated
The easiest way to work out different mix ratios is to use Jaaxx's calculator - Hack-O-Matic E-Liquid Calculator
I put the 24 mg strength in for the nic solution and it gave me a formulation with an ending result of 9.6 mg of nicotine, which is almost 5 times higher than my desired end result. Any hints?Blimey, that sounds complicated

Disregard previous post. I think I figured it out now. Thanks for the suggestion!
Use less nicotine liquid ... dilute it more. You can change the ratios on the calculator until you get the strength you want. Usually just add more propylene glycol or glycerine.
EDIT
Glad you've worked it out. Enjoy.
Actually, I do not know what to make of this spreadsheet. Which variable am I supposed to change? I just need a 2 mg nic solution as an end result. I set the percentage of nic solution to 8.33% and the nic strength to 24, which changed the desired batch size to 68.33%. Is that correct?
You need to have 100% for batch size but you can change the ml if you want a smaller batch.
Add some glycerine or propylene glycol to make up for the commercial eliquid you've taken out.
There's no need to worry about it actually. I can formulate based on 12 parts by mixing small amounts and readjust if necessary.
Could Jaaxx or someone else create an excel worksheet for those of us who are mathmatically inferior which would include recipes with 36 and one for 24mg e-liquid/flavorings/distilled water, and glycerine as well as one which includes the pg liquid?
In California I don't think I have access to the alcohol he uses in the formula. Currently I only have the glycerine but am planning to get the polyglycol.
