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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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

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.
