mg--mg/ml

[r77r7r]

Is there a difference? I'm trying to order unflavored nic from CCV. They have 60 ml of 50 mg/ml.

I'm going to mix it with their 250 ml no nic base- I should then come up with 8-30ml bottles of around 10mg., correct?

...nothing like a little DIY to make a grown man feel like he never took a math class,lol.

Calculate total nic, then total nic/total ml = mg/ml.
60ml x 50 mg/ml = 3000 mg of nic.
3000 mg/(60 ml + 250 ml) = 3000 mg/310 ml = 10 mg/ml, 10 bottles of 31 ml

The nic 60 ml will dilute the no nic base flavor a bit, since you're diluting it, of course.

Thanks Markfm, that's what I was afraid of. Thats way too much for me to mix at home.

You're basically doing 4:1 (no nic:nic), so it's not too hard to do in smaller quantities, say 25 or 30ml at a time.

For 25 ml, 20 ml of your flavored base plus 5 ml of your nic. For 30 ml, 24 ml flavor base plus 6 ml nic. Shake the two bottles before you use them.

An oral syringe or two, or a small graduated beaker would be fine, for measuring/handling the liquids. Alternately, if you have a clear 30ml bottle, moderately steady hand, you can just put a sharpie marking at about 1/5 of the way up, add the nic to the line then top off with flavoring. This won't be "perfect", but should be within a handful of %, plenty close enough.

You might want to wear nitrile gloves and/or use eye protection. A little 50mg on the skin doesn't harm me, but I wipe things off quickly and these are just standard practices. I mix over a small dollar store tray, keeps everything together, easy to clean afterwards. Store the unused nic away from kids and pets, I use a little storage organizer in the basement, out of the way.

Ok, if I can pester you some more, Mark?

I'm over at RTS- I only vape unflavored, so we don't hafta flavoring info to the mix.

Ok- getting 60ml of 36mg VG, 120 ml of pg.nonic.

I pour 10ml of the nic in 30ml bottle, fill with nonic PG= 30ml of 13mg?? 70pg/30vg?

...I owe you..........tx

 

[markfm]

10ml x 36 mg/ml = 360 mg nic. 360 mg/ (10ml + 20ml pg) = 360/30 = 12 mg/ml final strength. I'd call it 70/30 (67/33).
It's good to ask questions -- the math is easy, but until you do it a few times, checking is important.

 

[r77r7r]

Sorry, but no, it's not 36mg/ml- it's just 36mg. So 10ml of 36mg in a 30ml bottle, fill with nonic= 30ml of 12mg 70/30?

 

[retird]

10 ml of a 30 ml bottle is 33 1/3%......

 

[markfm]

If it's coming from RTS, "36 mg" is shorthand, they really mean "36 mg/ml";. For example: 60 ml of 36 mg Flavorless Nicotine Liquid is actually 36 mg/ml, 3.6% nicotine.

 

[r77r7r]

Thanks Mark. Why on earth would they use shorthand-big diff in vaping between 36 and 13!! It sure seems priced to be mg not mg/ml.

 

[markfm]

Their description is: "3.6% nicotine or 36MG", so I'm pretty confident. % and mg/ml are used by different vendors. 1.6% = 16 mg/ml, 2.4% = 24 mg/ml, etc.

Their price point is decent, but not all that great. I typically buy from Voidmist. 120 ml of 60 mg/ml is $15.30, excluding any sales; that works out to 7200 mg/$15.30 = 471 mg/$. RTS comes in at 2160 mg/$6.97 = 310 mg/$. You get more than 50% greater mg per dollar buying Voidmist.

(For bang for the buck, I always convert to how many mg of nic I get for the money; the VG or PG base is cheap. It turns out that 50 or 60 mg/ml strength is often the cheapest, best price point.)

 

[r77r7r]

Ok, clouds have parted. It's just 60ml of 36mg, like you'd get anywheres. Add 120ml of nonic and I got 180ml of 13mg.

The mg/ml just thru me, I thoght it was super concentrated.


Thanx everyone

Nevermind the calculator on my phone has small buttons.

Get a juice calculator. It's makes it easy.

When in doubt, use this online calculator. Can never mis calculate..

eJuice Recipe Calculator

When makeing a large batch just put in 0 for the flavor. So for this I put in 50mg base. I put in the target of 10mg, and I want to create about 300ml So that tells me to use 60ml of the 50mg base and 240ml of the plain pg. If you put in 60ml of 50mg and 250ml of plain pg, you get 310ml of 9.7mg juice,
