It's easy to mix a juice down in mg....but to raise it is problematical. I wouldn't recommend just adding higher strength nic juice to a flavored juice as you would be diluting the flavor.

There is always the swap thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vapor4life/85254-v4l-swap-thread.html

How about adding the same flavor of juice at 11mg to make 60ml of 35%?

 

[wader2k]

Nope, it doesn't add like that.

For example: If you mixed a 0mg Flavor with a 36mg at equal proportions(50%/50%), you would have 18mg juice.

Are we having a misunderstanding, cause I just don't get it. If this person has 24mg nic of pineapple and wants to make it 36mg, why not add 11mg pineapple at 50/50 to make 35mg pineapple? I don't see why that wouldn't work. Help me out man.

It sounds logical but I don't know anything about mixing this stuff. I have to assume that Wader does. I wish it worked like that then I would just buy a higher nic level of the same flavor. I guess that's to easy though.

 

[wader2k]

Like I said...it doesn't add, it divides. With a 50/50 mix you would add the 2 and divide by 2. If the ratio is any thing other than 50/50 the formula is more complex. There is a DIY calculator for this kind of thing over in the DIY forum, but that is outside the scope of what we do here.

Think of it in terms of Apple Juice.
If you had 2 bottles of apple juice. Bottle 1 is 100% apple juice. Bottle 2 is only 20% apple juice/80%water.
If you add them together you don't get 120% apple juice....you get 60% apple juice (and 40% water).

Hope this helps!

I think get it, it's Pi. The base would dilute the nic. Thanks Wade. I get it.

 

[sal997]

Well, thanks a lot Wader. I think I see the picture of what you're saying. Actually the 24 isn't really that bad but I do like a higher nic level. I tried the 24 for a while but I felt I needed a little more. I really don't want to go anywhere else for me stuff and that's why I thought I might be able to mix and match here with my favorite V4l stuff. Thanks.

 

[wader2k]

Sorry I didn't have the desired answer, Sal! What a lot of folks do is vape a lower level juice when they aren't feeling a strong nic urge...and then grab that 36mg when you really have the urge. If you just aren't going to use it at all the Swap thread is there!


re mixing: What causes the confusion is that we typically refer to nic strength in mg. That isn't exactly correct. It is actually mg/ml. When you play the units out mathematically it makes logical sense.

I think.


Addy?



Hehe

short answer is w+x=y, y/2=z. So only if you mix the same ml can you use this 24+11=35, 35 divide by 2=17.5 mg that is what you would get. Now to get what you would want to do you need a 48mg but v4l don't make that here is the math on it 24+48=72, 72/2=36. Think of it like 24 being a wet cake mix and 11 being like water if you mix a wet cake mix with water you get more mix but it is runny. hope that helps

Wader, you are a saint. I'm not sure Addy is gonna touch this with a ten foot pole.

...

Then what time would you arrive in Cincinnati?

Sorry, it started to sound like one of those "if a train is going east 62 miles per hour, and a bus is traveling west..." kind of puzzles.

 

[Maxwell_Edison]

LOL - it makes sense because you also double the base, which would dilute the nicotine. I get it.

The train arrives at 4:20. To because.

 

[marine13]

yes you get it that is good because if you don't and you mix I could be bad. Oh and the train arrives at 4:32 you forgot to carry the one.

____________ it's Pi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sawlight]

It's FM! Just go with it!

I love you guys....

Oh man, you're just bias because I didn't understand at first. Or you're a Steely Dan fan (and who isn't?)

No static at all ....

 

[wader2k]

One of the best shows I've seen ... Steely Dan at Summerfest a few years back!
