Can someone please clarify the actual amounts in a bottle or millileter of eliquid?

Let's take a 30ml bottle of 36mg liquid as the example.

How many milligrams of actual nicotine would be in a 30ml bottle?

My understanding is that the milligrams listed are per 100ml of PG.

So, if the milligrams listed are per 100ml, then 36mg per 100ml = .36mg per ml and a total of 10.8mg per 30ml bottle. So, no matter the size of the bottle, the percentage of nicotine to PG in a 36mg bottle is the same - 3.6%.

If the milligrams listed are per bottle, then 36mg per 30ml = 1.2mg per ml. But that would make a smaller bottle of liquid pretty toxic, as a 15ml bottle would then be 2.4mg per ml and a 7ml sampler bottle would be 4.8mg per ml! So it just can't be milligrams per bottle, but per a batch amount of 100ml, right?

Can I get confirmation or a better explaination of this?

The nicotine designation - 6mg, 12mg, 18mg, etc. are the number of miligrams per mililiter. mg/ml
