Since you made a new thread, I'll repeat what I posted in the other. 4% nicotine by volume is quite high. As a former smoker, I have never used e-liquid over 24mg (2.4%) and found 18mg (1.8%) quite satisfactory. Keep in mind that nicotine by itself is toxic, and you may have some serious health implications or death at high levels. I am not saying "don't do it" ... I am just advising caution here. Review this toxicology link for nicotine so that you can be better educated. Keep in mind that 40-60mg/kg can be a lethal dose for a human adult.

Just thought I would add a little more to the conversation regarding nicotine level. OP, what is your underlying reason when you originally said you needed a lot of nicotine? We know that the tobacco industry is heavily regulated and the typical cigarette contains between 1 and 1.5mg of nicotine. That makes 20-30mg per pack. If you smoked the whole pack, realizing that only 10% of the nicotine in the cigarette is actually absorbed, that means out of a pack of cigarettes you are absorbing between 2 and 3mg of nicotine. At 18mg e-liquid strength, while there are no hard-and-fast numbers like there are for cigarettes (if there are, someone please point me to them!), my educated guess would be 3-5% of the nicotine in e-liquid is absorbed. At 5%, that means a 0.9mg/ml nic is absorbed, so a 3ml tankful of 18mg e-liquid yields the same nic absorption as a pack of cigarettes.

I am new here and plan to make some Ejuice
I want lots of smoke and nicotine
Has any one tried to make some that is
75 percent vg
25 percent pg
40mg nicotine
With vanilla
I've read about people who have smoked 4 to 5 packs a day and were happy with 24 or 36mg, seeing you wanting 40mg makes me think your just chasing a buzz.

The vg/pg ratio is totally wrong for me. May work for you, but I'm happy with 70% pg. I also use 36mg/ml, so would probably be okay at 40mg, but that really is quite high for a starting point. My suggestion is to try 24mg, but don't mix up a really huge batch. If you do, and you don't feel good after using it, you can always dilute it.
