    Default Highest nicotine eliquid available?

    I noticed that the highest amount offered was 36mg, but am wondering if that is the weight of nicotine added to the product or the concentration is calculated differently. For example a 30mL bottle with 36mg nicotine would be less concentrated than a 15mL bottle with 36mg, so obviously it makes sense to buy a 15mL bottle at half the price and dilute it yourself.
    Thanks!

    1 mL = 36 mg of Nic, regardless of the bottle size. I think that is what Kate said. If the bottle is a 24 mg, then 1 mL = 24 mg, and so on.

    Think of it like a bottle of liquor....one shot = 86 proof no matter what size the bottle. You can probably relate to that, can't ya?

    So that means a 10mL bottle at $10 contains 10mL*36mg = 360mg nicotine? That is not possible because it would be illegal, the most nicotine that can be sold is less than 40mg which is the lethal dose. Nicotine has a density of 1.01 g/mL so at 36mg it would have a volume of about 0.036 mL or a drop of nicotine?...if my math is correct lol.

    LOL yea I drink but proof is a concentration or 2*Concentration of alcohol.
    mg is a weight not a concentration and therefore it should vary with volume to retain concentration, for example Molality = weight / volume, which is a concentration as the volume increases the weight used should also increase to have the same concentration.

    When you drink shots, is that how you figure it? If you drink a shot of 86 proof....you feel ok. 2 you feel better. 3, even moreso! You have still only consumed 3 shots of 86 proof. Just like if you vaped 3ml of 36mg, but you might not feel so good after (if your system isn't used to it). But you're not vaping 108mg of nic. Christ, you'd be dead! lol

    That can't be right can it? Because nicotine is lethal at 40-60 mg and stays in your blood stream for 2-3 hours. I could easily go through 1.1 ml of liquid in 2-3 hours if I was just sitting at my computer chain-vaping.

    That's correct. There are about 20 drops in each ML, EACH ML has 36 MG of nic. So yes, a 30 ML bottle (about 1 fluid ounce) would be 36MG nic x 30ML = 1080MG nic total. A lethal dose taken inter-veinously is 40 to 60 MG, all at once. So there are probably several lethal doses in each 30 ML bottle if drunk all at once. That 40MG stuff you are talking about is called Black Leaf 40, was used as an insecticide when diluted in water, it evaporated very quickly leaving crops relatively safe for humans to be around, just killed insects that it 'rained on', no longer available in the USA because it's PURE undiluted 40 MG nic. Very deadly.
    Most eJuice is also highly flammable, because of the alcohol in the flavoring solutions. Take a piece of tin foil, or a spoon, add 1 or 2 drops of eJuice, hold a flame to it & poof, fire hazard too.
    Pretty dangerous stuff...wear a helmet & goggles while vaping!! jk

    The strength given as mg per ml in e liquid .
    Theres also 15-20mg of nicotine in the average cigarette .(but only about 1 to 1.5mg gets absorbed by smoking) .Eat 3 tobbaco cigarettes and your
    gonna be very ill or dead .
