Some help for a dummy!

Ok, this would seem pretty simple, but I am missing something somewhere.

I have a 125ml bottle of unflavored nic juice, and I need to use 4ml every time I make my custom mg in a 10ml size bottle, then I am figuring I will get around 31-10ml size bottles.

Ok, that would equal 310 ml of finished juice. Divide that by the price I paid for the unflavored juice, around $47.00, that comes out to $6 per ml???8-o Or am I doing my math backwards...........(which would make sense to me, then it's only around .15 cents/ml!!!)

Please don't make fun of me and my math. I never did care for it much, and since being out of school, I really don't have to deal with it in my job like many people. Go about 20 years of not having to figure crap like this out, and you lose all you gained! Yes I can add and figure out my money and such with no problems, however, my computing just ain't computing to good.....

Your missing what the costs are for the additives (PG & Flavor). It's costing you about $0.38 for the nicotine only per ml. To get this $47 / 125.

Without knowing how much you paid for the PG & Flavor, there's no way to tell exactly. And you don't need to use the 310 number to see how much per ml unless you factor the other cost's into it.

Make sense? I'm pretty sure I'm right, no?

You're looking for $ per ml so yes, it would be $/ml and you got $47/125ml which equals $0.376. So your dilution puts you at the $0.15 mark. However, you'd have to figure in the cost of VG/PG and the flavoring, but you're ahead of the game ;-)

You were backwards. The 125ml bottle of nic juice you're using comes out to be $0.15/ml at 310ml.

Like ryan said, there are some other factors to include to get your total price, but just use this formula and you should be good:

(all the costs of what it took to make your big batch) / MLs of the batch.

So in this case, just using the $47:

47/310 = 0.1516

Or about $0.15 a ml.

I feel kinda silly...............

And yeah, I know I have to figure in the costs of the other stuff, but I was just going for the base of my nic juice.

I'm not going to tell you how many times I scribbled and scratched out numbers on a piece of paper fiddling on the nic $$. Not to mention how many times I was scratching my head................


Thanks guys.

Have you smoked it unflavored and mixed with vg yet? I love that vape.

 

[justincase]

Haven't tried that yet. I thought something like that would taste..blah...but, having heard u say that, I'll give it a try.

When you're thinking how many "x per y", then it's always "x divided by y" or x/y. And usually, (not always), x is a dollar amount.
