If you are unfamiliar, read read read first! Sailor is right...nic in concentration is deadly and not to be played with without knowing what you are doing. ECF even restricts discussions and sales here of nic above a certain level as it is dangerous. Even 100mg needs to be handled properly (ie with gloves as it will leech through your skin) and it can kill if ingested even in fairly small amounts. Pets and kids even more so.

Many people buy high and cut it to the level they vape, but most definitely learn whats what before you mess around with it!

I use 100mg/ml concentrate for the reason of mathmatical simplicity. If I'm making a 10ml batch, and I want 7mg/ml on final... I put .7ml concentrate in the bottom of the bottle, and add the rest of the stuff.

If I'm making a 20ml batch, i double it.

Keep in mind that this must be a ZERO FAIL process. failure to make accurate calculations/measurements can result in making someone violently ill/dead. If you are not confident in your mathematical skills, perhaps you should stick to commercial juice.

I don't mean to be presumptious, but if you're new to this I recommend you go the DIY subforum and read some of the material you can find there on the risks involved with and guidelines for proper handling of toxic levels of nicotine. My apologies if you're already aware and have taken these steps.

Nothing presumptuous about it. It's good advice. I'll add that I buy 100mg nic but, I don't mix with it. I put on gloves and cut it in half with PG to make 50mg nic and mix with that. I have four 4 oz bottles that I fill with the 50mg. When I get to the last bottle, it's time to put on my gloves and mix some more. Whenever I work with nic, I'm near a sink where I can wash it off quickly should I need too.

Over the edge...
I have ordered 100mg before. The FIRST thing I did with it was to cut it down to 50mg. Really easy - 1 part nic liquid and 1 part VG or PG. Then I cut it down to 25mg. Again, real easy - 1 part nic liquid and 1 part VG or PG. Now I just order it in 25mg. Much easier to deal with. The cost isn't that much different and I don't have to wear the HazMat suit. I wouldn't want to put up with that crap again. Half of 25mg is 12.5. Half of 12.5 is 6.25. What a pain in the ....! I don't know where you can order 6mg nic juice but I'd sure as hell ask the vendor you ordered from.
