Welcome to ecf @66 Bricky. No, it would be less than 0.6mg strength, barely noticable.

I'm guessing your litre of pg/vg has no nicotine, so your 6mg will be dilluted by a factor of 10.

Imagine if you had a shot of 80 proof Jack Daniels and made a drink by adding a whole liter of soda. Your drink is no longer 80 proof, but more like 3.5 proof.

Hi thanks for replying I have a litre of vg pg with no nicotine in it I want to make a litre of ejuice that is 6mg nicotine strength I have 10 ml of 18 mg nicotine how much should I use?

Use a diy calculator. Personally I prefer ELRECIPES but there many good diy calculators out there. Google play has some you can download as well.

One part of 18mg nicotine solution (10mls) added to 2 parts of pg/vg mix with no nicotine (20mls) should get you 30mls of 6mg juice.

In your situation, add twice as much PG/VG to your 18mg nic. 18mg divided by 3 (one part 18mg nic, plus two parts pg/vg no nic) equals 6mg.

As @Letitia said, go to ELRECIPES and play around with the Create recipe calculator.

Thank you I’m gonna try the calculator

No. Strength is mg/ml. I buy 100mg/ml to make the math easier. So if I add 6ml of 100mg/ml (so 600mg total in the bottle) and then fill a 60ml bottle I get 10mg/ml strength juice. If you’ve got 6mg/ml base and you fill a bottle half full of it then fill up the rest with other stuff you get 3mg/ml juice. If you got 6mg/ml base and you want 6mg juice you basically have to vape it straight.

Hi

Welcome and glad you joined.

Math is hard, there's too many numbers

You can't make 6mg ejuice if your base is already at 6mg.

Here are some calculators. Use whichever you like best.

Online (browser based)

- ELR Calc (sorry, direct link not allowed for "political" reason - link is to google search, see first result)

- LiqCal (you'll want to use the "BF+" (Base + Flavor (Advanced) calc. See language preferences at bottom of site.)

- Steam Engine

Android Apps

- LiqCalc (you'll want to use the "BF+" (Base + Flavor (Advanced) calc.)

- Eliquid Calculator - FOSS app on F-Droid (no idea how good this one is)
