It should be 20 mg. per ml. & so on.

It is 20mg per milliliter not per bottle. Drop size can vary wildly for different bottles.

A little lesson in nicotine strength. I learned it here at ECF and want to pass it on.

1 liter = 1000 milliliter (ml)
1 gram = 1000 milligrams (mg)

If you have a bottle of 24mg strength e-liquid, the strength of the nicotine is based on per ml of liquid. Whether that bottle is a 10ml bottle or 50ml, the strength in each bottle is 24mg. Each ml in each bottle has 24mg of nicotine, but these do not add up so that for example that 10ml bottle would have 240mg strength of nicotine, that's not how it's measured.

I have a bottle of 60mg no-flavor nicotine juice. The label on it says 06.0% nicotine. This 6% is based on 1000ml. 6% of 1000 = 60. 60mg strength.

Another example is let's say I have a 30ml bottle of 24mg strength Marlboro e-juice. No matter how I separate that bottle, whether it be 3-10ml bottles or 30-1ml bottles, each one still contains 24mg strength of Marlboro e-juice. However, let's say I take just 5ml of 24mg and put it into a 10ml bottle. I then add 5 more ml of either PG or VG, I end up with 10ml of 12mg strength e-juice. I have now cut my nicotine strength in half by cutting it 50/50, and also reduced the flavor by about half as well.

I was one who was very confused at first, but someone set me straight. I hope this helps you understand it better.

although correct that was very confusing(TMI)

it is as stated mg per ml (approx. 20 drops)

Wow, I think my brain just melted

The only proplem I see with your logic is that (in terms of water)
1 gram = 1cc = 1 ml so in your 10ml bottle of 24mg liquid, you have 240mg total nic in 10ml (or 10 grams or 10,000mg) of fluid. With 240mg of nic in 10,000 mg of fluid, the numbers seem to add up to me. It's still 2.4%

On your bottle of 60mg, the 6% is not based on 1 liter. It could be based on any volume. 6% is 6% regardless of the amount of total fluid. 6% of a 10ml bottle of juice is (.06*10000mg=600) 600mg per 10ml = 60mg per 1ml.

Bottom line: mg rating means milligrams of nic per milliliter of fluid.

Sorry I know this is

just a little, but I was confused and just trying to make sure I had it strait. Someone correct me if I don't.

Edit: BTW monotony, if you were "confused about nicotine amount" when your day started, I bet you really are now ...sorry
