48 mg 100% Pure Nicotine: how to cut it with PG

[chuckd]

Thank you all for the advice. I will let you know what I'm told by AmericanSmoke... I agree with all of you that this can't be 100% nic, unless someone is trying to kill me

The label says 100% PG. Looks like it is labeled correctly. Looks like nicotine suspended in PG, pretty common.

Also, don't get confused with purity and ratio. You could have 100% pure nicotine suspended to 48mg/ml in 100% PG and the shorthand for that would be 48mg PG nic. 48, mg/ml usually shortened to just mg, is the ratio, not to be confused with the purity of what is being suspended.

Hopefully you've taken this as an opportunity to educate yourself and read through a bunch of the great info in this sub.

Okay, I just went on line to check my completed orders, this is what I got:

Order Date: 25th Feb 2013
Your Order Contains:

1 x Unflavored Nicotine Smoke juice e-liquid
(Size: 125ml, Strength: 48mg, PG/VG Mix: 100% PG)

I guess this clears it up. Thanks so much.

That makes perfect sense!

So, you going unflavored or going to try a flavored recipe?

Menthol. I smoked Kools for 40 years. At the end, I was smoking 3-4 packs a day.

Okay, maybe a dumb question, but do you think that I should do a 50/50 mix?

 

[Hoosier]

Wow. That was quite a habit.

Menthol is usually pretty straightforward, but there are plenty of ways to vary it up.

Good luck on your mixing. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

I don't know, is that ratio really important to you?

I couldn't switch to vaping until I started vaping 48mg, so your nicotine base is already to low for me as a beginner, but now that I'm down to 18mg, premixing it down to 24mg to get a 50/50 blend would work. If you're going for just menthol, there will not be much flavoring volume to drop the mg's or ratio by a significant amount.

Chuck I am so glad that got sorted out Enjoy your menthol DIY.

You should do at least do 50/50 to make the nic level 24mg. Adding a few drops of menthol into the mixes shouldn't be an issue for the nicotine level.

I plan to do a 50/50 mix with nic and VG. I'll add about 8% menthol.

 

[subversive]

What kind of menthol do you have? 8% is too high for menthol, even if it is 8% of a 10% menthol/PG solution.

WOW! That level would make me unable to see due to the tears in my eyes. You are a true menthol fiend!

I use TFA Menthol. It is suppose to be very strong but, it seems, not for me.

I made a batch and it is really smooth. No bitterness and no nasty taste--you guys are great. Thanks for all the help!
