Cautious: A drop of 60mg for throat hit

[JohnReagan]

I'm terrible at math and worse at thinking without much sleep, but I'm trying to get more TH out of my 16mg Green Tea juice. Can I get away with one drop of 60mg unflavored nicotine juice added to 50 drops of 16mg Green Tea juice ... or any other numeric combination of drops that won't make me sick? I could try and test it out but I freak out at the thought of going overboard, so here I am.

16mg just doesn't cut it for me but 24 is too strong. Since I have unflavored nic at 60mg lying around that a dear friend sent me, I'm sure I can do something with it. I just want to be safe and be sure more or less what levels to mix. Help keep me alive while I can get some 18mg!

(Actually I love buying 24mg and adding 50 drops of juice and 15 drops of Wilton's Glycerine to a little bottle to carry around. Whatever mg I end up with, I'm not certain, but it's totally my sweet spot and makes the 24mg juice last ages longer)

I typed up this long calculation for you and i timed out and lost it all...grrr

Here it goes again...

Target - you want 24mg of nic for a 3ml bottle (about 60 drops) 24x3 72

You have
16mg x 2.5mls = 40mg

leaving 72-40 = 32

needing 32/60mg = .5ml of the 60mg nic to get you to 24mg.

so if you use 50 drops of your 16mg and 10 drops of your 60mg nic you will have 3ml of 24mg.

Hope this helps - this was explained to me by an long time DIYer.

According to the calculator i have,if you add 1 drop of 60mg to every 20 drops of 16mg it should bring you up to 18mg,which is about your sweet spot looking at your (50drops 24mg+15drops vg) mix.

No worries hehe ... I appreciate the effort though. I think ckc below you may just have the answer.

CKC, Brilliant! Sounds very reasonable.

I've read on the DIY forum that folks put 3 drops of some potent vodka into 6 ml of juice and it gave them wonderful TH! That would be an easy experiment for you to try. One bottle of vodka would last you 100 yrs

60mg ? wholly crap!
Hey make sure you keep that out of reach. Not just kids, there was a member on here who's dog ate an entire bottle of juice.

Rudy, you reposted your calculations ... can't tell you how much I appreciate that! Exact and to the point.

This is awesome. I'd seen them before and never thought I'd be able to work one out but this one looks promising. Great stuff!

Lori, you touched on something that's very important to me. I'd like to wean myself off nic eventually, and it seems that Everclear - although a hit or miss affair - seems to work for some people. If that's works for me, I could vape 3mg and still get TH ... that's heaven on earth. As it is, Qhit is too expensive for me atm.

No kids, no pets here, but you're right 60mg is no joke ... I'm concerned with even handling it. It will help me through the storm though.

At the moment, since there are varying suggestions, it seems more cautious of me to start with ckc's suggestion of 1 drop of 60mg to every 20 drops of 16mg to bring me back up to 18mg and I'll post the results of how I'm feeling tonight. If that's too light, then I'll bump it up according to Rudy's calculation (to 24mg) then dilute it with VG as I normally do. Wish me luck! ; )

I justed wanted to get back in as promised and let those interested know what worked for me. Rudy33's calculations were right on the money. Although the amount of 60mg she suggested seemed steep to me at first, math is math and it didn't go wrong. I ended up using 50 drops 16mg and 7 drops 60mg unflavored nic to achieve my sweet spot.

10 drops would have probably made 24mg as Rudy mentioned and I'm happy to be around 18mg now. I'm glad I tried it ckc's way first just in case. Thank you both, thank you all who posted! I wouldn't have dared DIY on anything with that high a dosage of nic on my hands (figuratively speaking, of course).
