Dimensional Analysis for calculating ejuice?

[ShannonS]

Would dimensional analysis work for calculating ejuice?

 

[SgtDGun]

Is that a form of Math or Science?

 

[ShannonS]

Ummm both.

If it can be worked out to apply, you would end up with a simple calculation to figure out any ejuice strength. I'm not strong in math and I use it to simplify stuff at work but someone worked out the formula for me beforehand and I just plug in the numbers I want to use.

So you want to use different units of measure for different components? That is the only reason I can see for using Dimensional Analysis.

Am I missing something?

I just use parts or percentages and keep the unit of measure identical for all componets.

Percents are dimensionless already as Hoosier pointed out and it's fairly simple to work with nicotine strength like that.

N1 = Nicotine % of your unflavored nicotine liquid (50mg/ml = 5% (well, actually 5.05%))
N2 = Target nicotine % of final liquid
P = Proportion of final liquid that needs to be the unflavored nicotine liquid

P = N2/N1

Is that what you were looking for?

There is no need to really convert it, though. You could just do target 20mg / nicquid 50mg = 0.4 so you need 40% of the final mixture to be the 50mg liquid.
