To bring 10ml of 3mg juice up to 12mg is 1.25ml of 72mg nic.
You are on the right track; but not quite there
@Letitia.
I think(?) the added volume of the nicotine itself was not accounted for. Adding 1.25mL of 72mg/mL nic, to 10mL of 3mg/mL mix, will only result in 11.25mL of 10.67mg/mL nic.:
We can check the math:
10mL of 3mg/mL mix has 30mg of total nic available..............(3mg/mL X 10mL = 30mg)
1.25mL of 72mg/mL nic has 90mg of total nic available......(72mg/mL x 1.25mL = 90mg)
Giving us 120mg of total nic available.........................................(30mg + 90mg = 120mg)
For use in 11.25mL of liquid.....................................................(10mL + 1.25mL = 11.25mL)
That leaves us at 10.66667 mg/mL.....................................(120mg ÷ 11.25mL = 10.66667mg/mL)
Instead;
@Zutankhamun should use 1.50mL of 72mg/mL nic to achieve a 12mg/mL nic (and account for the added nic volume):
We can check the math the same way:
10mL of 3mg/mL mix has 30mg of total nic available................(3mg/mL X 10mL = 30mg)
1.50mL of 72mg/mL nic has 108mg of total nic available........(72mg/mL x 1.5mL = 108mg)
Giving us 138mg of total nic available.........................................(30mg + 108mg = 138mg)
For use in 11.5mL of liquid...........................................................(10mL + 1.5mL = 11.5mL)
That leaves us at 12.0 mg/mL.................................................(138mg ÷ 11.5mL = 12.0mg/mL)
I hope that makes sense.
