Question on Mixing strengths

[iamtdot]

Hi,

I can get hold of 100mg /120ml mixing juice and am wondering how many drops I would need in a 10ml bottle to get a strength of 11mg?

Can anyone direct me to an area that I might find an answer to my question or provide me with an answer? I am trying to get into the diy field and save myself money.

Thanks for the help!!!

there are e juice calultors but don't know which is the best I'm not that advanced yet

This calculator has drops as a unit of measure eJuice Recipe Calculator. But keep in mind that drops aren't always accurate since they're not all the same size. When working with high nic liquid I'd suggest you go to a local pharmacy and get a syringe to measure with, they're much more accurate. They sell them for giving oral medications to infants and only cost about $1.

Ditto the syringe for measuring.

You might have a good time reading up the wealth of information ECF has in the DIY e-liquid sub-forum.

You can read up on flavorings and nic vendors and mixing issues. It would be worth your time if you plan to mix as a cost savings plan so you don't make the mistakes that cost.

You do not use drops with 100mg nicotine because drop size varies wildly.

Get your 5th post, wait an hour, then ask in the DIY section. And buy a syringe and some gloves.

If you're using 100mg nic juice (100mg per 1ml), then 1/10 of whatever volume you are mixing would give you 10mg strength juice. For instance, if you're making a 30ml bottle of juice at 10mg (close enough to 11, lol), then 3mls of your 100mg juice would be needed for the overall volume - the other 27mls would be made up of your dilutants (flavour extracts, distilled water, pure pg and/or pure vg). For 11mg strength juice, you would use 3.3mls of nic and 26.7mls of dilutants.

Thanks cactusgirl! That is exactly the kind of info I am looking for. I live the K.I.S.S philosophy. Just to make sure I understand.... if I am mixing a 10ml bottle I would use about 1.1ml of nic juice and then other dilutants to get aprox a 11mg strength? I want to start small and work my way up. I will be examining the DIY forum in more depth later today.

Yep, 1.1ml of nic and 8.9ml total volume of (non-nic) dilutants should yield a 10ml bottle of 11mg strength juice.

Edited to add: Please use extreme caution when handling your 100mg strength nic base. At that strength it is highly toxic and the use of protective gear would be advised as well as an isolated working area.
