Adjusting Nic content?

[Xaiver]

I mix my liquid at 10mg, in single flavor batches, where they steep until I need them. That's usually within a week or two, then I blend them together into smaller bottles. They're all mixed at 10mg, so the end mixture should also be 10mg.

I have some friends that use 18mg liquid, and I was wondering if there was a simple way to adjust the nic without disturbing the flavoring too much. In my 30ml bottle that I'm blending, could I just add Xmg of nicotine, to take it up? I use 36mg nic base at the moment, but I'm thinking about ordering something a bit stronger, in case I have to do this more often.

I realize that adding Nic base will dilute the flavors. I am more wondering how much I would need to add.

Can someone spell out the formula for me?
Right now: 36mg base, 60/40 Pg/Vg, 10mg end result, 15% flavor.

Thanks!

Using a 36mg base and adding it to a 30ml sample of juice that is 10 mg. You would need to add 13.3 ml of your 36mg/ml nic. That would give you a final volume 43.3 ml and a nic value of 17.99 mg/ml. Then you would need to add your flavoring back in and this would adjust the nic downward. Your pg/vg ratio would also be jacked up. A higher value nic base would require less Nic to be added and thus disturb the values less. It would prolly be easier to make him his own juice.

+1 on that. To much hastle. It would be easier just to make a fresh batch at the correct NIC content.

Your in a pre-mix trap. 100mg/ml nic would get you out of it but that would be a pain in the ..... You'd have to do everything twice. Better off to make it new to start with.

Try out this calculator:https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByHCyknRKMBCWTBwN0ZHVGM4Y00&usp=sharing

You would add your 10mg liquid as a flavor and specify its nicotine level of 10mg.
Specify the level of your base nicotine of 36mg.
If you don't want to dilute your existing recipe, specify the other flavors in your existing recipe with their percentage levels.
It will calculate the amount of nic and VG/PG to add along with the percentages of your other flavors.

Scubabatdans calc on the DIY Liquid main page will convert by the way. Excel spreadsheet. Converts nicely to .odf. That calc will all but stand up and do tricks too. eJuicemeup will convert the nic. also.
