Mathematically Challenged

So, if I have 30 mls of 12 mg nic liquid, and I mix it with 30 mls of 0 mg liquid, what will the resulting nic yield be?

It would be 6, no? I'm halving the nic content...is that right?

Is there an app available that can do these calcs?

Thanks!

Yes.

30ml of 12mg/ml added to 30ml of 0mg/ml would give you 60ml of 6mg/ml.

The Formula for Milligrams per Milliliters is... Total Milligrams divided by Total Milliliters.

You have,

30ml of 12mg/ml => 30 x 12 = 360 Total mg's of Nicotine

and

30 ml of 0mg/ml => 30 x 0 = 0 Total mg's of Nicotine

and 30ml + 30ml = 60 Total ml.

Plug this into the formula.... Total Milligrams divided by Total Milliliters.

360 Total mg / 60 Total ml = 6mg/ml

And this Jives with the Common sense thinking that I just cut the Nicotine mg's in Half by adding the same amount of 0mg/ml to the same amount of 12mg/ml.

---

I think where people can get confused with all this is from the way we shorten the amount of Nicotine in our e-liquids from say 12mg/ml to just 12mg.

Just remember that when you see an e-liquid that says it is " __mg ", that it is really " __mg/ml"

Hope this Helps. And have a Good New Years.

You're awesome. Just the explanation I was looking for!

Hey no problem.

I spent Years standing in front of a Whiteboard explaining how something works Math-wise, and then doing the Steps. It's kinda 2nd Nature.
