Mixing Math Question

[LuckySevens4U]

I want to make 6 ml of 8 mg from 36 mg liquid.

How much of the 36 do I use? 1 ml or less than a ml? The rest of my mix will be liquids like PG/VG and some liquid flavoring.

Thanks.

I have that but I must be doing something wrong with it cuz I can't seem to get it right it messes up.

OK, heres what I came up with

10% flavoring 12 drops 0.6 ml
67.5% VG 81 Drops 4.05 ml
22.5 % e-liquid 27 Drops 1.35 ml

This should result in 6 ML of 8.1 strength according to the calculator

It's pretty easy math. How many times can 36 (your mg) be divided by 8 (desired mg)? 36/8= 4.5.

How many times can 6 (ml) be divided by 4.5? Approximately 1.33.

Use 1.33 (one and a third) ml of 36mg liquid in your 6ml bottle.

Hey Walrus, that's making more sense to me now by the way you just explained it. Thank you!!!!

Hey, I want to get in on this math class, too. Math is my nemisis!

Glad to help. I hate to see people making it more complicated than it needs to be... I think that scares people off of DIY. The most important thing is determining how much 36mg to use... the rest is easy. Use PG/VG, and flavor to taste.

The crazy thing about mathematical formulas is they are consistent... The same formula would work for diluting 24mg into 8, or 24 into 12, or 36 into 10... just plug the numbers in to the appropriate spot.

 

[G35]

The formula for a dilution is:

mL strong = (ml final x mg final) / (mg strong)

= (6 mL x 8 mg) / 36 mg
= 1.33 mL

Mathematically, this equation is the same as Walrus's. If you don't feel comfortable with math then I suggest doing it both ways just to make sure you have the right (same) answer.

Someone tell me if this is right. If a 30ml bottle of 36mg liquid 36/30= 1.2mg of nicotine per ML and a 15ml bottle of 36mg 36/15= 2.4mg of nicotine per ML. Then say I vape 4 ml of liquid per day, If I used a 30ml bottle my daily nicotine intake would be 4.8mg of nicotine (4X1.2mg). If i vape 4ml a day from a 15ml bottle I would be using 9.6mg of nicotine per day (4X 2.4mg). It looks to me like the smaller the bottle you buy the more nicotine you get. This would mean that the 15ml bought bottle would actually be stronger than if I bought a 30ml bottle and re poured it into 2 15ml bottles.

Does anybody know if E liquid is measured in mg per ml or mg per bottle?

 

[BadSeed]

It's mg per ml apart from Johnson Creek which is mg per 1.2 ml I think.

Thanks, That makes better sense to me.

microgram per millilitre, so a 30ml bottle of 36mg yields 1080mg or 1.08 grammes of nicotine.

milligrams per millilitre - micrograms would be like vaping no nic (there are 1000 micrograms to the milligram, and 1000 milligrams to the gram.) The rest of the math is fine.
