How is my math?

[maxx]

Hiya,

Having trouble with my morning coffee. The vaping just isn't getting me going in the morning and I already vape 36mg. So I am still having a morning real smoke. I just ordered some 100mg stuff from extreme vaping and here is what I want to do....and is my calculating correct.

I plan to take a new bottle of 5ml 36mg flavored juice from V4L. Add to that 1ml of the 100mg juice. My calculations:

5ml x 36mg/ml = 180mg in new 5ml bottle to start.

add 1ml 100mg/ml

That comes to 280mg in a volume of 6 ml

Divide and come up with a concentration of 46.67mg/ml strength....which should handle my morning coffee and cig craving. Am I calculating correctly? I tried the ejuce calculator (version 10), but it came up with errors on my win7 machine and I don't have excel on this XP. But this seems like a simple calculation if I did it correctly. Did I?

Thanks

That is correct! Tried it by hand and with the ejuce calculator (version 10) to double check. 46.67mg both times

Your math is correct

That's pretty high nic ... but, that's what you wanted.

Thanks for the confirmation....and no fear. I was a morning chain-smoker, lighting the next from the last until I finished two cups of coffee. And this is going to be my morning batch with different strengths through the day. I am finding that 36 handles most every other occasion.

The geeky chemist agrees.

You can break the calculation down:

5 mL * 36 mg/mL = 180 mg
1 mL * 100 mg/mL = 100 mg

total mg = 280
Total volume = 6 mL

280 mg/6 mL = 46.67 mg/mL

Excellent....I didn't waste my money 20 years ago going to college and just partying. I actually learned something. Did pretty well in chemistry too....and will now be able to mix up other batches.

Still ended up as a construction worker though. Must have been that partying part....

Or, the roll of life's dice. I have an AAS, BS and MS (all engineering or technical) and I've worked blue collar most of my life. The white collar jobs I've had involved nothing I went to school for. Wear your construction worker moniker with pride

Actually....I am happy with the work. Unless working at height (happens sometimes) there is very little stress and I get exercise. And the money is good enough.....

Just very happy that a good deal less of my hard-earned dollars are going into paying obscene sin taxes.

Just wanting to report back. I got my 100mg stuff today and as above, made my 46.67mg mix using 5ml of Kant-36 flavored juice from V4L. Have to admit, I felt like a chemist and had tissues standing by for any spills. Also used a hospital grade syringe to measure the mix....rather than count drops or anything. The mix vapes very well and is much more like smoking a .... than the 36. I am thinking I want just a tad more vapor, though. This mix is mostly PG as I think all V4L PG juices have 10% VG added and the 100mg stuff is all PG. So...I have some glycerin here. How many drops into this 6ml mix to boost vapor, but not totally wreck the flavor. Just a ballpark figure will do.

Thanks

I mix 50% PG or PG-based liquids, 30% glycerine and 20% PGA. At 30% glycerine, the vape is sweeter than I like but nice clouds. The PGA percent was derived from adding PGA until the liquid became the viscosity I wanted (read, worked well with my 510).

Live in PA here...can't even buy PGA...and all spirits are still sold in "State Stores" only. Sometimes I wonder if this backward state will start doing witch trials again.

I can get 100 proof vodka, though...
