Please help me calculate

[HelltoHeaven]

Bought a pepper flavour /PG / 24mg. Hate the taste. Plan to dilute it with no flavor liquid. So,

10ml 24mg PG + 10ml 36mg PG = ?mg/ml

Hope my question is clear help is much appreciated

 

[mikecyber]

10ml 24mg PG + 10ml 36mg PG = ?mg/ml

24mg + 36mg = 60mg
1 part + 1 part = 2 parts

60mg / 2 parts = 30mg per ml
Dilution of flavor = 50% - If the pepper is strong, you will probably still find strong at 50%

absolutely clear, thanks a lot

24+36=

36-24=12

12/2=6

24+6=30mg

mixing is subtractive

mixing is subtractive

Look at my work, then yours, and mine again.
Mixing is division.

sorry we both are right 2 formulas both work, btw division is a form of what?

Guess Mike's calculation is easier to understand. Mister kil is right too

No problem.

If you had 10ml of 48mg and 20ml of 36mg the math would be:
1 part + 2 parts = 3 parts
(48) + (36 * 2) = 120

120 / 3 = 40mg per ml

The OP asked a question and I answered it. You too. Your solution took a long road around using division. There are few uses in mixing where your method is easier to understand.
FWIW, I read your original post as subtraction, not subtractive. Petty arguments over math is less than pointless, it's boring. Done.

(48) + (36 * 2) = 120/3

 

[mikecyber]

(48) + (36 * 2) = 120/3

Except 120 != 40
Welcome to my Ignore List.

120/3 does = 40 though.
Getting angry over different ways of doing the math is silly, I'll say mike's way of doing it is simpler and makes more sense though.

My math was a bit screwed up and so was my reading. Was highly intoxicated when I posted.

Here's a simple formula to use, I wasn't going to post it but it might be handy for some.

Y = [ (C-A) / (B-C) ]X

X=first liquid volume in mL
A=first liquid strength in mg/mL
Y=second liquid volume in mL
B=second liquid strength in mg/mL
C=final strength you want or if C is the dependent variable, it is the final strength

Another useful form is C = (AX + BY)/(X+Y)
This is actually the form you want for your problem. Solving for final strength. The first one is in a form to solve for the amount of liquid need to achieve a pre-determined final strength.

---------------------------------
Proof for formula:

XmL of Amg/mL = AXmg
YmL of Bmg/mL = BYmg
(X+Y)mL of Cmg/mL = C(X+Y)mg

Then,
AX + BY = C(X+Y)
AX + BY = CX + CY
BY - CY = CX - AX
Y(B-C) = (C-A)X
Y = [(C-A)/(B-C)]X

hahahahaha

 

[cbksj25]

30mg/mL is right but only because the volumes were the same.

And btw, A≥C>B or A≤C<B or the equations don't make sense lol.

I have a T/V tobacco 4oz doubler in 50/50 mixed with (2) tobacco 24mg 80/20 and (2) tobacco menthol 24mg 80/20 total of 8oz's combined. This should have produced somewhere around a 65/35% mix of pg/vg with approx. 12mg of nic and is a OK vape with a reasonable vapor production. But it does lack the throat hit I am looking for.

I would like to bump up the nic to 18 to 24mg for a better throat hit? Should I go to 36 to 48mg with a 20%vg by adding two more 30ml bottles? Or just one more 30ml bottle of 36 to 48mg in 100%pg?


Thanks!

If you do enough math, you come to the conclusion that there is realy no such thing as division or subtraction. There is only multiplcation and addition. And multiplication is a for of addition.

So I guess one could conclude that there is only addition.
