Wondering how much nic to add to a 60ml 0% to make it 3% using 48mg/ml nic. I came up with 4ml to make a total of 64ml i think this is right but wanted a second opinion.
How much nic to add?

The one I have is more of from scratch diy and asks for target ml. And since im not sure what the target ml will be adding unknown to a 60 i just did it on paper. Just checking my math.
And your result is not adding enough nic to reach the target amount of mg, since you are not including the entire volume used.That's correct yes. I just calculated the nic to add...
Right, 3.75 ml would be the correct amount to add if he was making a 60ml batch of juice from scratch.
But since the OP wants to know how much to add to an already existing 60 ml of 0 mg, the right answer is 4.00 ml, because the finished batch size is going to be 64 ml.

The formula for adding nicotine is:
Volume to add
= (initial volume x target concentration) / (nic base concentration - target concentration)
= (60 ml x 3 mg/ml) / (48 mg/ml - 3 mg/ml)
= 4 ml
So another vote for your initial calculation being correct.
You asked for a second opinion, but as that option was no longer available I'm offering a 738th opinion instead.

Ah yes, i'm with you now...duh
I just wanted to show off my formula (I learnt here) i've been using. On 60ml its not much, but can be at say 10ml.
Guess it stems from my rough an tumble mixing style. When I used to mix, I just measured the percentages of the flavours and nic with the syringe..squirt it in, and fill the bottle with pre mixed vg/pg by eye..not very scientific.
Guess i'm not really a 12mg then...more a 11.5 - 12.5
That how I do my testersan 2-3 flavor mixesAh yes, i'm with you now...duh

It really depends on your nic base. If you're in TPD-land and stuck with 18 mg/ml, it can make a very significant difference. If you're using 100 mg/ml, your 'rough an tumble' style will be close enough for any purpose I can think of. I'm a bit pedantic, so I prefer the more precise calculation even though I know I don't really need it.
Yeah when I started I was very pedantic used recipes to the finest detail... I looked and measured like a lab technician...
As I got the better at it, I went away from all that and simplified it.
Didn't make any difference...my diys still tastes bad.
