Failing at IQ test - Increasing 6mg nic liquid to 18mg nic?

[zoiDman]

This is how I do it without calculators.

Every ml of 100mg liquid raises the nicotine level of 30mg by 3.3mg.

So 1ml is (6 + 3.3) = 9.3
2ml is (9.3+3.3) =12.6,
3ml is 15.9,
4ml is 19.2,
So guestimating around 3.75ml does the trick.

How did you come up with this...

"Every ml of 100mg liquid raises the nicotine level of 30mg by 3.3mg"

6*30+100*4.4 = 180+440. So you have 620 mg of Nic in 34.4 ml of juice. It's close enough. I put an updated calculator up there for her. 18.02 is correct. But the OP did ask for 12/18 and mix between 10 and 30ml.

Not even looking at the hundredths. My initial off the top of my head calculations were way off because I was only looking at 30mls, not compensating for the additional volume of the nic base. Glad you figured it out the right way.

Not the OP, but I think 30mg is a typo for 30ml. If you added 100 mg of nic to 30ml of liquid, _without_ increasing the volume of the liquid at all, it would work out to about 3.3mg. Of course when you add a milliliter of base it does increase the total volume, so if you want to be very precise you need to account for that. But it’s a decent rule of thumb.

You are correct I made a typo which is corrected. And you are also correct that if one wanted to be perfectly accurate than you'd need to compensate for the extra liquid being added.

But I'm a guestimating kind of guy and I don't need to be 100% accurate, just close.

Pardon me I meant
Every ml of 100mg liquid raises the nicotine level of 30ml by 3.3mg"

As for the mathematics
If 1ml Contains 100mg of nicotine. And you add it to 30ml
Than 100mg/31ml = 3.22mg per ml

So actually 3.22mg is more accurate than 3.33 but my goal is simple and close. Not complicated and 100% Accurate

Yeah... I figured the 30mg was a typo for 30ml. It was the 3.33mg that caught my eye.

Because I had just done the Math on adding 1ml of 100mg/ml to 30ml of 6mg/ml about 2 minutes prior to read your 1st post. And adding 1ml of 100mg/ml to 30ml of 6mg/ml raises the mg/ml of the e-liquid to 9.03mg/ml.

So I was curious why you were using 3.33mg (or 3.22mg) as your Rule of Thumb?
