Hey all. I have looked all over for the answer to my question but everything I see is related to either 18mg nicotine or 100mg nicotine concentrate. I have tried to use an e juice calculator but when I enter 6mg as my nicotine concentrate and 6mg as my target, it says impossible to mix? I have a 15 ml bottle of nicotine marked 6mg/ml I’m making a 60ml batch. How much should I add to make a 6mg nic juice? And/Or how much should I add to a 0mg nic bottle of juice if it’s 60ml? Thanks for your help. Also sorry I’m a noob.

You can't get 6 mg/ml nic finished e liquid starting with 6mg/ml nic base.
When you add flavorings, Pg & Vg to make up your 60ml batch it will dilute the nic base.

If your nic source is 6mg/ml, and you add anything to it-- anything at all, except more nicotine-- you will increase the volume without increasing the nicotine content, thus lowering the nic percentage.
Yep they're right. What is the nic base? If you are using a premix base then you have to enter it on your calculator.
If you were to make a 60ml batch of juice and added the whole 15ml bottle of 6mg nic that would reduce the overall nic content to around 1.2 mg/ml. and increase the total volume to 75ml
The best case you can get is making a 30ml total batch of ejuice and using the whole bottle to achieve a 3mg/ml finished product. You just need to have a much higher nic base to achieve what you want.
Thanks a lot guys. It was a free sample of nicotine and I didn’t know what to pick. I just knew I used 6mg juice usually. So What your telling Me is that since it’s a 6mg 70/30 vg/pg I could basically add flavor to it and it would be 6mg e juice?
Also if you have zero nic juice that you are using you would also be reducing the amt of flavor you have.
If you are making the 30 ml total volume from scratch you would need to use
Nic base = 15ml
so you have 15 ml left to account for using flavoring and pg/vg
if you use 10% total flavor then you would need 3ml
that leave 12ml for pg/vg. You can divide that amt into 6ml of each or use one or the other.
Hope this helps.
This question gets asked occasionally, I have seen it several times here. Many think that 6 mg base or whatever base is what you use to mix with if you want 6 mg juice.
Not exactly. It would no longer be @6mg but closer to 5mg depending on amt of flavoring used and you would need a bigger bottle than the 15ml in order to add the flavoring.
You will have to use your 6 ml base without adding VG or PG. If it's a "blend" of PG/VG, you may well be able to get away with flavoring it (unless you are wanting to use 20% flavoring or something) without perhaps noticing a large drop in nicotine content. Lets say your flavorings add a little volume and you drop to 5.3 percent, many folks won't even notice a difference.
If, however, your base is all "PG" or all "VG" to get to the VG/PG content you need, well that may present a problem. I know it's counterintuitive to "think" if you get the base strength you want, you just start with that strength, it really is easier to just use a higher nicotine content for your base, and add it to VG, PG, and flavorings. With a good juice calculator, it's actually easier in my opinion as you have far more flexibility and the ability to add whatever you'd like to get to the total mix you want. Play around with some and it will likely become clear.
