When you fill your tank with juice, does the nicotine in it vape evenly? Meaning, does the same amount of nicotine get vaped into the vapor even as the tank gets low, or does some nicotine stay around in the juice to the point where when your tank is low, that juice has more nicotine concentrated in it now than when the tank was all the way full.

Does anyone explain what I am asking? Does anyone have an answer?

I'm no genius or expert but I will venture to say that you are getting the same amount of nicotine no matter what the fluid level may be in you tank. From what I understand the mg of nicotine is measured by the ml. So if you have a 15 ml bottle at 24mg that would mean there is 24mg of nic to each ml of liquid. I think:blink: so if you have only one ml of liquid left in your 2ml tank you still have the same mg of nicotine as you did when you first filled to the 2ml mark. I think:blink:

Its a question I have wondered myself... We always vigorously shake the bottle to mix its contents before we fill up our tank.. So if I pick up my ecig after it has sat for a while, shouldn't we assume something has settled toward the bottom and it needs a good shake?
A better question to ask is, whats the point of shaking it up? Does nicotine sink or float to the top?

Full flavor cigarettes are said to have 1.8mg of nicotine, 18mg/ml. Light cigarettes have 1.6mg or 16mg/ml. Extra light: 1.4mg, 14mg/ml. Nicotine at 2.4mg (24mg)-3.6 (36mg) are normally found in cigars. When these mg/ml of nic are mixed they are mixed thoroughly in the juice you vape so there's no higher spots or lower spots of mg of nic/ml in ejuice. It should be distributed evenly if shook adequately.

no the nicotine does not settle to the top or bottom... a very simple explanation I was given..... PG is a water based liquid while VG is a oil based liquid. We shake them before filling a tank to insure they are properly emulsified much like some salad dressings
Very well said.
