NOOB Nicotine Levels DIY Question

[Kat05]

I have a bottle of 500 ml of VG based 100 mg of Nicotine from RTS Vapes. I will freeze most of this in glass bottles and use some for DIY e-liquid. I vape 100% VG juice at 3mg and 6mg of nicotine on my MVP2.

I have read the Sticky’s on safety in working with nicotine so with that being said I still have questions:

1. What do I do with this nicotine if anything to bring it down to a level I can DIY at 3mg and 6mg?
2. What E-Calculator is best to use with a MacBook Pro?

Anything else you can add to help is greatly appreciated.

I love ECF everyone is so nice and helpful thank you all. I am so new at vaping but I love it and I am so happy to be off analogs!!!

Hi Kat05,

At the low nic levels you want to mix at, you are going to need a lot of VG. It would probably be cheaper to buy in bulk because you have enough nic for a couple of gallons of mix. But thats up to you.

A small 30ml bottle of 100mg nic will make 1/2 a liter at 6mg. I keep a 60 ml bottle out for mixing, the rest I freeze. I look at it like this, the smaller the working bottle, the less that could be involved in an "accident."

Good luck

100mg nic to 6mg would be 6% of your base, so that 500ml bottle will make you a LOT of juice!!

As far as a calculator goes, Scubaabatdan has a really good one here:

Thank you for your replies. Township: I will freeze all but 60 ml of nic in bottles, anything I should do to the nic before I freeze it?
Thank you for the e calculator link 00gt1

Just make sure you shake it real good before you transfer it to your freezing bottles. Since its all VG you might want to soak your 500ml bottle in a pot or sink full of real warm tap water for a few minutes. The VG will get thinner and will be easier to shake up. It'll also be easier to pour into smaller bottles.

Good luck

Calcs are the way to go of course but I do think it's a good idea to memorize the amount of nic for your preferred base strength for your most common sized bottles. Especially when using 100mg/ml.

When I first started mixing I would mostly make 10-15-30ml bottles. At 12mg/ml strength I knew off the top of my head that it was 1.2-1.8-3.6mls of base. I knew exactly what each looked like in the bottle (I always add nic first as an extra step of not making a strength mistake). I've since lowered my nic and also mix different strengths depending on tank vs dripper but I still have the math memorized for all my mixes and sizes. It's not a bad thing to do and not very hard either.
