Hello people according to my conclusions if I made A PG base with 2% nicotine strength I can use it in a blend of 70% VG 30% PG to reach .6 nicotine am I right ?
or am I just losing my time her
and if it was right . and i want to make a large quantity (of that 2% nic pg ) how to store it?

2% is 20mg. You want to make 0.6% or 6mg.

You can dilute your 20mg liquid to do this with 70/30 VG/PG blend (No nicotine)

Unless my maths is wrong, you need 3ml of Nicotine base (2%) to every 7ml (0%) of non-nicotine dilutent.

So, a 30/70 ratio of your base to your dilutent.

Hi and welcome,
Short answers: Yes. In a cool, dark place, amber glass bottle preferred and with as little air in the bottle as possible.

So, 18 mg is 1,8 %? 1,8 % of (or compared to) what? -- I know: I know nothing. Smiley.

If I mix 10 ml 18-nic with 20 ml 0-nic vg, I have about 6 mg nicotine strenght/level in my blend?

"pure" nicotine liquid is 1000 MG/ML.
The 100 mg/ml "base" that is used for DIY is only a 10% concentration.
We dilute the 10% (100mg/ml) for final use.

So 18mg/ml IS 1.8% of 1000 mg/ml (100%).

Your mix: 30ml of .6%.

Cheers

Learn to use the calculator in Izans post please.
Your numbers look good to me but do not trust some
guy on the internet. Use the calculator and know for sure.

Percentages are always out of 100.

DIYers mostly use mg/ml. not percentages.
(usually 100mg/ml. MAXIMUM)
Many new DIY enthusiasts use a lower strength
when starting out.(48-72 mg/ml. or less)
100mg/ml nicotine = 10%
It is a very strong solution.

100% nicotine is deadly and should only be used in labs
with proper ventilation and protective equipment and training.
We are not allowed to talk about using strong nic here on ECF because it is so dangerous. Be careful out there eh? Cheers.

Cobalt blue protects from UV as well as Amber. Some say slightly better.

1 drop of pure nicotine on the skin can kill.

Yes and yes. You've got the math down girl. No calculator needed for simple mixes when you can do math
