I think much of the confusion comes from the fact that "mg" is poor shorthand for mg/ml. Folks do not immediately realize it is a ratio when they see "mg". If we called it what it is, mg/ml, it would be easier to grasp what it means.

Like if I had a 30ml bottle of 12mg/ml juice it's easy to see that there are 360mg of nicotine in the bottle. (12mg/ml * 30ml = 360mg) And if I added 10ml of 0-nic VG I would have 9mg/ml nicotine strength. (360mg / (30ml + 10ml) = 9mg/ml)

Well, at least my brain does better with the actual units than the poor shorthand...

this is hurting my melon....did you mean no way you could mix 48 and 36 and get 24?

That too. But no, the OP said 84. (the sum of 48 and 36)

If you mix 48 and 36 juices...you'd have to end up with some number between 36 and 48. So...it is in all our best interests to give the topic some thought. So we don't make mistakes.

The good news is that using 36 or 48 mg probably isn't lethal with mixing mistakes. But if you "graduate" to 100 mg stuff...make sure you understand it 1st.
