Made a new batch tonight...then sat back at laughed at myself

[thinkingaboutit]

So here I am, I decide to mix flavorless base to save time, and not work with the 100mg/ml nic as often. Besides, I am going to order a few new flavors and want to be ready.

I sit down, do my math for 16, 18, and 20mg. 100mg bottles of each. I know I lose potency with flavor, and planned for that.

I get my dry supplies ready. Organize the counter, etc.

I double check my math...something is nagging at my brain but I focus on the task.

I get my PG, VG and nic. Mix up 100ml of each strength. Again that tickle in my brain comes...but I remind myself that the nic is dangerous and I need to pay attention. As I am putting away and cleaning up, I realize it. Anyone else see it?

The easiest math EVER for mixing.

 

[AuBadge]

Give me a clue.

 

[Hoosier]

Yep, should I tell, or let others, that aren't use to how this stuff works, have an "Ah Ha" moment?

 

[MattBott]

VG + PV + NIC means you doubled up on whatever base your nic is in. Right?

​edit: wait, no, not necessarily ...

You may articulate it better...but I will try.

100mg/ml nic base. Batches of 100mg. So when I wanted 18 mg.ml final strength, I used 18mg of nic base. When I wanted 20mg.ml final...I used 20mg of nic base. See the pattern?

 

[Hoosier]

Um, confusion on mass (mg) and volume (ml).

For 100ml of 20mg liquid, you'd use 20ml of 100mg.
For 100ml of 16mg liquid, you'd use 16ml of 100mg.

 

[AuBadge]

I just use ejuice Me Up, because I don't like it when my head hurts.

 

[Hoosier]

20=20=head hurts?

Isn't that what I said?

Well, one of us hurt poor AuBadge's head...

It was probably me, I get careless with people's feelings.

 

[Hoosier]

I think it may be a physical pain, so it was probably me. I sometimes forget how strong I am and where my arms are.

I thought "n" approached zero, but did not reach zero in the numerator sumation?

Your thinking of a Limit... Lim n--> 0

And it depends on F(x) whether or not the Limit of the Function is O or D.N.E.

 

[Hoosier]

Why would I think limit when there is not an integral or derivation?

I think an absolute zero "n" would just throw your existential quantification right out the window with the bath water.

An "n" epsilon just seems so much nicer and neater than a heavy handed zero buggering up the joint.

...

It could.

But that Usually Only Happens during a Vernal Equinox. That or During a Mid-Term Exam.

 

[AuBadge]

No, I sort of exaggerated; numbers ending in zero are easy; it's those odd numbers that get tricky.

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Did you hear that? You two jerks scared off dozens of new DIY users with all that mathmagical numberjumbo.

All them numbers are scary. Plus we know it's not real since you accidentally put letters in there. Nice trick.

 

[Hoosier]

Ahh, yes, I had forgotten the binding of the Mid-Term to the intersection of the celestial equator and ecliptic at the zero hour mark. Hallow be thine passing and exclude the 12th hour autumnal since we wax toward it even now.

I'm not sure why others are not jumping in here with their thoughts on this subject...
