Lowering Nic. level question.

[GiMante]

I might not even be posting this in the right subforum, I apologize if that is the case, but I'm pretty desperate. I'm extremely new to vaping and am on my learning curve.

I recently bought some 36mg liquid and have found that it is a little too strong for me. I tried 24mg and it isn't quite strong enough.

I am wanting to buy the exact same flavors that I bought in the 36mg but cut it so that it ends up being about 28-30mg.

So my question is, what strength do I get to cut it? and at what ratio?

Thanks so much for any responses in advance, I really appreciate it.

Nicotine mg/ml works similar to percentages. If you have for example, coffee with 10% milk, and coffee with 20% milk, and mix them together evenly (say 5ml of one with 5ml of the other), you get coffee with 15% milk.

So if you mix the 36mg/ml liquid with the 24mg/ml liquid you get the average (24+36)/2 = 30mg/ml liquid.

Or if you use plain VG/PG with 0mg/ml you can make a mix with 8ml (80%) of the 36mg/ml and 2ml (20%) of plain VG/PG to get 80%*36mg/ml = 28.8mg/ml liquid.

I bet if you bought the 36mg/ml in the flavor you like, AND the same flavor in 24mg/ml and just mixed the two together it would come out somewhere in the middle.
Like maybe 30mg/ml?

Bingo !!!

Just do yourself a favor. When you mix something, always mix a small batch first and test it out.

Thanks guys, makes sense.

What about if I bought the 0mg, what would the ratio be to cut down the 36mg to 28-30mg?

I went over that in my post. You should probably try using one of the many DIY calculators, though. I've uploaded here the ones that work offline.
