100MG nic pg base, how to dilute?

[steven8989]

Hey everyone first time poster. I have been making my own ejuice for awhile now, i was always using 48mg nic. I just ordered a 30 ml of amerinic 100mg nic pg base. I am just seeing how i would dilute it so my juice would be 6mg? Would i be better off not diluting it since it is only 30 ml. I make my juice 6 mg and 80 vg 20 pg. Not sure if this is the right part to be posting sorry if its not, any advice is appreciated.

Hello and welcome. Yes you should dilute it unless you vape 48mg. There are plenty of calculators in DIY that are made specifically for this.

DIY E-Liquid

Or e liquid recipes on the web....
They won't let me post a link.

not sure what you are asking exactly but roughly half of what you were using of the 48

I am using the steam engine calculator. I never diluted nicotine before, and just not sure how to put it in the calculator on much i need to dilute. Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, i just need to make sure for when i order a bigger batch.

Change the Nic strength in steamengine calculator to 100 and put in desired strength if that is what you use.

 

[Beamslider]

Just noticed that steam engine calculator uses percents but doesn't matter if you treat both sides as mg strength you will get the same result. So if you put 100 in for strength and 3 in for desired you would 3 ML.

Same if you actually used percent and put in 10 for strength and .3 for desired.

Batch- 50 ml
nic base liquid- 100/mg Ratio- 100%pg
Target- 6mg Ratio-100%pg
Recipe- Nice base 3.00ml pg- 47.00ml
Is this correct?

Really thinking of just going back to 48mg haha. Btw thank you all for the fast replies.

3 ml of 100 mg nic in 50ml will get you 6 mg liquid.

3 x 100 = 300
300 / 50 = 6

Thank you so much.

Also pick up one of those jewelry scales from Amazon and start mixing by weight. I think mine was like $9 and has a graduation of 0.01 grams (Max 200g).

I have an Android and use the E-juice Lab app.

My favorite calculator is ELR recipes forum. Their tools are great. Flavor stash & what can I make options provide with combos you may not have considered.

 

[steven8989]

so if i mix 30 ml of pg to the 30 ml of 100/mg nic, would that become 50 mg of nic? and then in the calculator put it as 50/mg?

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

3 ml of 100 mg nic in 50ml will get you 6 mg liquid.

3 x 100 = 300
300 / 50 = 6

Correct but unless he/she is vaping unflavored they need to make room for flavoring. Flavors are treated as pg in calculators, so flavors count as pg.

ie. if you want 10% flavoring in your mix then your mix will look something like this.
50 ml bottle
Nic base = 3ml for 6mg
Flavors = @ 10 % will equal 5ml
So 50 ml bottle will now contain 8 ml, you will need 42ml of either pg or vg or both(keeping the flavors on the pg side of equation)

so if i mix 30 ml of pg to the 30 ml of 100/mg nic, would that become 50 mg of nic? and then in the calculator put it as 50/mg?

May I ask why you want to dilute your nic?

Yes that is correct. the 50mg now replaces the 100mg in the base

I was using 48/mg before. Read online to make sure you dilute it, so figiured i should
