Per made PG/VG/NIC blend question

[Ashtonsmommy1209]

I'm new to making e - juice, made my first few bottles today and I have a question regarding the per made blend. I ordered a 50/50 PG/VG mix at 24mg nicotine strength. I noticed with a lot of the calculators the nicotine strength drops down when you actually make the e-juice. Is this true with the pre-made blends as well? Or since I bought it pre-made is it actually going to be 24mg strength nicotine? Thank you so much for all of the help you all have given me in my previous posts, I really appreciate it!

Regarding the pre* made blend

yes, if the vendor says it is 24mg per ml that is what it should be. do you have the "ejuicemeup" calculator. that is the one most people use.

Anything you add to your base pre made 24mg will dilute the nic and the level will drop down.I bought the same as you 50/50 but it was 12mg nic and after adding all my flavors it bought it down to about 10mg nic.

Your pre made base is probabaly 24mg, but you will be diluting it as you add flavor. If you are using 5% or less flavoring it won't be much difference. If you are adding 20% or more you will be diluting the nic level much more.

This was sent to me by ehuman and its based on my 12mg nic 50/50 Pg/Vg.

5% Flavoring: If you add 9.5ml of 50/50 PG/VG 12mg nic solution to .5ml of PG flavoring you will end up with 10ml of 52.5/47.5 PG/VG juice at 11.4mg nic with 5% flavoring.

10% Flavoring: If you add 9ml of 50/50 PG/VG 12mg nic solution to 1ml of PG flavoring you will end up with 10ml of 55/45 PG/VG juice at 10.8mg nic with 10% flavoring.

15% Flavoring: If you add 8.5ml of 50/50 PG/VG 12mg nic solution to 1.5ml of PG flavoring you will end up with 10ml of 57.5/42.5 PG/VG juice at 10.2mg nic with 15% flavoring.

20% Flavoring: If you add 8ml of 50/50 PG/VG 12mg nic solution to 2ml of PG flavoring you will end up with 10ml of 60/40 PG/VG juice at 9.6mg nic with 20% flavoring.

Everything you add to the nic juice will decrease the batch mg level, but not by an amount that you will even notice.
