[Tartdog]

HI,
The nicotine I was purchasing before the TPD law came into effect in the UK said 2.7% on the bottle,the nicotine I am about to purchase from a different source says 72mg on the bottle,what is the difference between the two,confused with regards to calculating my recipe,any advice please to a relatively newbie here,thanks.

72mg is 7.2%, your 2.7% is 27mg.

This sounds a bit odd, given the TPD regulations, but not necessarily wrong. A rough rule of thumb is that 1.0% = 10mg, and so forth. That's not 100% correct, but it's close enough for jazz, and for your purposes.

The nicotine you are about to purchase is about three times stronger than the nicotine you had before. It's also quite a bit stronger than what the TPD regulations intended consumers be able to buy. Are you getting it from The Alchemists Cupboard? That would make this make sense, as they are testing how far they can push the law on this one. Otherwise, it is a bit odd that the TPD would make your nic content _jump_ by a factor of three.

OK, so first off, no offense, but please stop using all those significant digits. You don't use 9.99ml- you use 10ml, if you're lucky and your vendors are honest.

Anyway, there's an amusing symmetry here: 72/27 = 2.6 repeating- i.e. close to 2.7.

10 ml of 27 mg/ml nic = 270 mg nic

270 mg / 72 mg/ml = 3.75 ml

So, 3.75 ml. This assumes the 10 ml of 27 mg/ml nic you're using is part of the 90 ml (so 80 ml of other stuff + 10 ml of nic = 90 ml total). If you're adding the 10 ml to 90 ml for 100 ml total, it would be slightly different, though not much.

Just a note - If your bottle says 72 mg rather than 72 mg/ml, it's not accurate (though it's a very common mistake). It's actually 72 mg/ml, meaning there's 72 mg of nicotine in each 1 ml of liquid. This has caused some confusion with other people in the past, so I think it's best to use the correct terms.
