What's the highest mg Nicotine?

[Raenon]

There is a lot of rounding going on regarding concentrations- pure nicotine is heavier than water (which is 1g/mL), actually about 1.01g/mL. That doesn't sound like much of a difference unless you're dealing with such tight controls, eh?
99% of 1010mg/mL is 999.9mg/mL of nicotine, which means that the last one percent of impurity is actually going to push it up a bit more (perhaps even heavier than 1.01g/mL depending on the content).
The best nicotine being sold is actually over 99% pure, but it's difficult to nail down how much over due to the different methods in determining concentration. I'm sure DVap would be far more qualified to talk about that than I, obviously.

No offense but I think that I will trust the laboratories analysis of the product I am referring to and a 1L bottle of this nicotine is 990mg/mL of pure nicotine which is where that number comes from. The other 10mg/mL consists of impurities and water. Here ya go uploaded a copy of the latest analysis for your reading enjoyment.

Nicotine is heavier and denser than water, so 990mg/mL may exist, but that would actually be less than 99% (though just barely) as there is more than 10mg/mL remaining :P
1g/mL (exact) only works with water, that is one of the bases of the metric system. 1 mL also corresponds to a cubic centimeter, zero degrees celcius and 100C correspond to the freezing and boiling points of pure water for the same reason.

So according to this figure my 100mg/ml is 1/10 "aproximately" pure nicotine.

Likewise a standard 20mg/ml e-liquid would be only 1/50 nicotine.

This is correct. 100mg nicotine solution is 10% pure nicotine by volume.

Well I am up to 54mg nic now through much usage and caution, I will be moving up to 100mg once I find a supplier at the right price (in UK) and once I've upgraded my gloves supply. It would take a lot of time, experience, equipment and cojones before I'd even consider any higher than 250mg. Each to their own I guess but the real point is not to get 'above your station' as that is when accidents become fatal. For the same reason (in UK at least, not sure about USA/elsewhere) you have to pootle around on a 50-125cc moped before you make your way up to a 500cc/1000cc/etc motorbike!

(It's also the same reason your insurance gets cheaper every year that you don't crash...)

You probably won't find a supplier of 100mg/ml in the UK because anything over 7.5% concentration of nicotine is tightly controlled and sellers have to be registered with the local authority etc. Active Substances Subject to the Poisons Law Concentrations under 7.5% are exempt from those rules.

Hey thanks for the info, I guess 70/75mg would be more than enough for my requirements anyhow, but thanks for explaining why I've found it so hard to find 100mg!

I know I read it somewhere on this forum that nic is tightly controlled in the U.K. because some gardeners poisoned themselves using nic as an insecticide.

What's the highest mg Nicotine?
Does anyone know what the highest strength of unflavored nicotine there is? I've only found up to 100mg/ml for sale. Some of my flavor extracts are really weak so I need to put as much as I can and there's not enough room even when I use only 25% unflavored nicotine liquid. I have 60mg nic.

Suppliers can only mention 36 mg on this site. Yes, many suppliers sell 100 mg. The purest I get for business purposes is 999.2 mg but I would never sell it retail. You really should be able to liveb with 100 mg. Try stronger flavors as suggested.
