MATH QUESTION here!

[Bru 1]

I had 2 cartomizers from V4L
1 has 0 nic and 1 has 24 nic in them

I then extracted about 1/2 a condom full of juice from the 24 nic
and Smoked only a few times from the 0 Nic carto
I then put the 1/2 condom 24 nic in the cartomizer that has the 0 nic in it

What is aprox my new level of Nic now in the carto?

 

[Java_Az]

Somewhere just under 12mg

Somewhere just under 12mg

thank you thats what i thought but needed to check

 

[DLite]

could be wrong but from off hand I would say 12 but my calculator says 24

The nic content is 24mg per ml. It would depend on how many ml you have in your 0 nic carto before you added the 24mg. I'm guessing that a v4l carto would hold approx 20 drops which would equate to between 1 and 2 ml.
Chances are as long as the 0 nic cart still had more than 1 ml then you would have slightly less that 24mg nic content when added.

Dont take this as read,this is from the top of my head and my brain is very small and sometimes hurts a lot..lol.

The answer is on this forum somewhere.
Good luck

It would depend on how much cartridge holds and how much was in it. For example, if it holds three condoms-ful and was only two-thirds full, and you added one condom-ful of 24 mg juice (make the 24 mg nic 1/3 and 0 nic juice 2/3), you would then have 8 mg juice. Now if it only holds two condoms-ful and you've added one of the 24 mg to the 0 mg, then it would be 12-ish.

Like I say, it's dependent on how much fluid it holds and how much was left in it.

It would be just under 12. Essentially you are diluting your e-juice which is pretty much what you do anytime you are looking to DIY. The only time the nicotine content will remain constant is if you are dilution is the same mg strength in equal amounts.

Again, it would depend on how much the carto originally held. If they only hold a condomful and you add a 24 mg condomful, you've got 24 mg juice. If it originally held two condomfuls and you've added one, you've brought it down into the 12 ballpark. If it holds three condomsful, you've got an ~8 mg blend now.

Me too!

I mean the word problems part!

Ok, to clarify...

If you extracted 1ml of juice from each giving you 1ml/24mg and 1ml/0mg then you would have 2ml/12mg. If you assume equal amounts of liquid and one is without nicotine then you dilute at a rate of .5. You can't add 0mg juice (flavor,PG,VG,water,alcohol) and assume you would not dilute at equal rates for equal amounts.

Infernal2 is correct

You can't add 0mg juice (flavor,PG,VG,water,alcohol) and assume you would not dilute at equal rates for equal amounts.

But he did not extract any from the 0 carto. He just took some from his 24 and added it to the 0. Had he emptied the 0 and then emptied the 24, had equal amounts from each, and then mixed them together, then we could say with certainty that he had 12 mg juice. But unless we know how much was in the 0 cart to begin with, we cannot really figure out what nicotine concentration he ended up with.

 

[Bru 1]

Ok so is it safe to say that it is at least 12 ish or Lower ..

 

[Chris97b]

Just in case it helps anyone, the solution to any quantity of any number of strengths is:

((n1*q1) + (n2*q2)...(nx*qx))/(q1+q2...qx) where n=nicotine concentration(mg/ml); q=quantity(ml)

Essentially you are just adding up the total amount of nicotine in mg then divinding by the total quantity of juice in ml (mg/ml, get it? )

For instance, if I have 1ml of 12mg/ml; 1ml of 14mg/ml and 2ml of 24mg/ml:

(1*12) + (1*14) + (2*24) / (1+1+2)
1ml of 12mg/ml 1ml of 14mg/ml 2ml of 24mg/ml 1ml + 1 ml + 2ml

12+14+48/4

74 / 4
74mg of nicotine in 4 ml of juice

18.5mg/ml after mixing
18.5ml of nicotine per each ml of juice

Don't know if anyone cares, but I get into that sorta thing

As a side note, this could also be handy in gauging your nicotine intake. If you take 4 days to go through a 10ml bottle of 24mg/ml, you have vaped 24*10=240ml / 4 days or roughly 60mg/day. (I've read one pack of analogs is roughly 22-25mg; so this is analogous to around 2.5 packs a day)

Really a couple things missing. One did he get all of the juice out of the cart with Nic. Just assumed he did. Sure still going to be some left in the filler but not a whole lot . So the biggest question is if he had almost all the juice out of one and put it into one that was almost full, How the hell did he get all that juice in it. Really thinking there shouldn't have been enough room. Or maybe who ever he gets his carts from is ripping him off selling them to him half full.

 

[HyOnLyph]

Hmmmm. I could be wrong but if you didn't sqeeze the juice out of both and mix the two together, they probably won't blend much. You probably just shoved the 0 juice aside with the 24. So as it wicks down, when you are done with one, you'll start getting into the other. You probably got a little overlap blending where they meet ... but not much.

 

[chose2live]

I guess we know that its anything from 24mg to 12mg...heh!
