I don't get how to make a nic base without flavoring.

[BigFatDan]

I just got a job that's going to be tripling my current pay. So I am now free to experiment with LOADS of different flavors.
I want to make, in all senses of the word, a gigantic VAT of pre-made nicquid that contains NO FLAVORING.

I should be able to extract 8mL via syringe from this "VAT" of nicquid base and mix it with 2mL of flavoring in a 10mL bottle.


Now that I think I've defined the word "base" I hope you guys get what I mean.


Now for the questions:

How do I calculate how much of this "base" I can make when I only know how much nicotine I have? (215mL of 100mg/ml)

What nicotine strength (mg/ml) would I need to compensate for to create only 8mg/ml after adding 20% flavoring?

Is there a calculator that does this for me and I'm just being really stupid right now?

Why didn't I pay attention in math class instead of staring at the hot girls in front of me?

Ok
To make 100ml of premade "base" that you are going to add 20% flavor to at some point, use 8ml 100mg/ml nic and 72ml pg/vg, and when you add your 20% flavor of 20ml it will be 8mg/ml

Burnie, I was aware of ejuice Me Up.

However, I just diddled around with it and figured out how to calculate it easier.


Thanks for making me realize how dumb I am! I just had to fiddle with the amount of nicquid I'm making until it tells me to add 215mL of nic!

You can make 2150ml of base, which would be 2687.5ml of total e juice after adding 537.5ml of flavoring.

But but but...how do you know you'll always want 20% flavoring?

If you want the math, here goes:
Lets start with what we know:
You have 215ml of 100mg/ml of Nic
You want your total mixture to be 8mg/ml
You want 20% flavor.
I used this equation to figure it out
215ml x 100 (100mg/ml) = x (total amount of your e juice) times 8 (mg per ml you desire)
21500 = x times 8
divide both sides by 8 to get x
x = 2687.5ml (total e-juice at 8mg)

Of that total amount, 80% is your base and 20% is your flavoring
SO
2687.5 x .8 (80%) = 2150ml of base
2687.5 x .2 (20%) = 537.5 ml of flavor

Your base will be at 10mg Nic
Total Nic (215ml x 100mg) / total amount of base (2150ml)
21500 / 2150 = 10mg

Cheers,
Steve

I understand that, but very little. Anyways, I did use eJuice Me Up to make a base thingy.

I would formulate the recipe, for the total amount of liquid you want to make, including the flavor at the required percentage. When mixing your base, just leave the flavoring out.

Add the flavoring, at the same percentage to your mixed base, as needed. this will still give you your desired nic strength and pg/vg ratio.

I solved it in my above post doing exactly that.
