Nicotine mg/ml question

[Lubw]

So I am about to buy pg nicotine base and I was wandering, when you have the option to buy 100mg nicotine is that how much goes into the juice? I have never DIYed before so i'm not sure of everything. I have awlways bought my juices with 18mg.

That is 100mg of nicotine per ml. So for 18mg juice, you would add 1.8ml of Nic base per every 10mls of juice you are making.

Download this calculator. I use it all the time. I usually make my nic base up in 200 ml batches cutting it down to 3 mg. That way all I have to do is add my flavor to my bottles and fill it up with my base.

As relapse said, it is 100 mg/ml nicotine. Although the e-juice industry has settled on calling it just "mg," that is not correct and annoying, at least, and actually misleading for anyone that is used to working with proper concentration units (mass/volume). Pre-made juice is described the same way.

[edit] I have a blog that describes some of the basic chemistry involved in DIY.

Make sure you do some reading before hand. Understanding this concept is pretty important when DIYing. If unsure or feeling a little shaky start with a 120ml bottle of 36mg/ml. This way you can't really mess up unless you drink it!

I started with a 36mg/ml bottle and have since migrated to the more concentrated formulas. But it was comforting on the first few recipes to know that I was in relatively safe territory.

I try to keep things simple. This hobby is already intimidating enough for many people. Its not rocket science, when you get down to it, it is much like cooking.
