Getting the right mix. Is there a Formula????

[gary777]

I want to add some 0mg nic vg or PG to 18mg of PG to get it down to 6mg, is there a math formula for this. If so please give examples.

Here arwe some thoughts I came up with.

If I got it right, I can mix a 10ml bottle of PG/VG 80/20 0mg nic, with a 10 ml bottle of VG vanilla 0mg nic together in a 20ml bottle, add that 0mg nic mix from the 20ml bottle at, two drops 0mg nic mix, to one drop of vanilla 18mg nic = 9mg nic mix. How do I get it to 6mg nic?

If this is correct how would I figure out how much 0mg mix (whatever it is) to add to 26mg nic to get to 6mg nic. What I want to do is end up with a 20ml bottle of 6mg nic. I can not find 6mg nic in the flavor I want....

Starting with 24mg nic, with a 2:1 ratio, 2 is 0mg, 1 is the 24mg would give me 6mg?

Here is e juice calculator:

If you want to mix 24 mg and zero to get 6, use the top calculator. Change molar to mg/ml.

Dilution Calculator

If you're going to dilute 24 mg juice that much, you're really going to reduce the flavor a lot though.

Thanks, I looked the calculator, I do not understand what goes where. Anyone familiar with this.....

 

[gary777]

Thanks mtv, I did want to DL anything. I thought someone here might have a simple answer....

Put your starting nic level in the Initial Dilution box and use the dropdown to select mg/mL, then put the nic level that you want to mix down to in the Final Dilution box and make sure it's also set to mg/mL. The Initial Volume should be the amount of juice you have from your Initial Dilution. Water to Add can be substituted with PG or VG to add.

Like Swed already said, diluting that much is going to also dilute the taste greatly.

OK Heart, I'll give it a try later tonight. Not concerned about diluting the flavor, I can use flavored PG/VG 0mg...

If you start with 5 mls of 24 mg juice, in order to get 6 mg juice you're going to have to add 15 ml of PG/VG

If you want to DIY...brush up on your math skills...will come in handy cause there are alot of fractions.

 

[swedishfish]

I don't think he's DIY, he's just trying to mix PG/VG to decrease the nic level.

Wow... you had the math right, bud. Shake your juice up so it's evenly mixed and add your two drops of 0 to one drop of 18 and you'll get 6. To get 9 youd add only 1 drop of each. Think in ratios here, your plan would make the 18 only 1/3 of the mixture, and whats 18/3? 6. When in doubt (or any other time possible) keep it simple.

 

[gary777]

Correct...

[swedishfish]

Well, you got it right. There's nothing wrong with double checking. I was going to post a bunch of formulas last night and thought, nah! You won't need them unless you want to take a chemistry class and even then who remembers that stuff.

If I do this mix: one part 0gm PG one part 24mg nic = a 50/50 mix = 12mg nic.
Take that 12mg nic mix do another mix: again one part 0mg PG one part 12mg nic = a 50/50 mix = 6mg nic
If not where is my thinking in error...I am seeing this as a 2:1 ratio mix...

Ideally? Yes. Practically? Close enough. You wouldn't notice the difference anyway, so go for it...

3 units 0mg with 1unit 24mg = 4 units of 6 mg

 

[poetofisis]

3 units 0mg with 1unit 24mg = 4 units of 6 mg

Ah, crap... Asleep at the wheel again! Nice save there, Iffy. Good eyes, mate! Yeah, its a 4:1 ratio to get 6mg. 24/4=6. So, as Iffy pointed out, simply mix 3 drops 0 and 1 drop 24, rather than doing the mind numbingly boring process twice! Unless you have absolutely nothing better to do with your life, lol.

Could you show me where I am having a problem in my thinking in my last post...

You just doubled the steps, that's all.
