That's what I was thinking, The Switch has such a pronounced flavor that even if it did dilute a little bit I don't think the flavor would suffer.

I diluted my first bottle of the Switch with unflavored 0mg to bring it down to 3. Steeped it for 3 weeks longer after mixing and it tasted just as good.

You'll be ok on not diluting the flavor. I had to mix some 36 mg to get my nic recently due to this mortal flu, I used some ACB to flavor it and it was just fine (I'm using 100mg nic). The Switch is so forward flavored that you might not even notice.

I also got some 100mg/ml nic to step up my NZ and low nic juices. Does anyone know of a good online calculator or spreadsheet that I can use to enter and calculate quantities of juice and nic to equal the desired end result? Or an app? :confused:
Thank you in advance :)

You don't need a calculator, it's just simple math:

[concentration you want/concentration of your nic base] x how many mL you want to make = how many mls of base you need to add.

So for example, if you want 10 ml of 12mg/ml, and your base is 100 mg/ml:

[(12 mg/ml)/(100 mg/ml)] x 10 ml = 1.2 ml

So, you'd add 1.2 ml of 100 mg/ml base to 8.8 ml of the 0mg/ml juice to give you 10 ml total of 12 mg/ml juice.

Thanks everyone! Those are some pretty in-depth calculators. :) I don't DIY and was simply looking for a simple one to tell me how much nic to add to pre-made juices to raise the nic level. I actually posted a thread in DIY here and one person gave some these guidelines, but I'd still love to have a calculator to use with different amounts (ml) and different base nic levels. I wish I could change the values on the spreadsheet Spazmelda used.

There are several good places to get nicotine. I usually get mine from Wizard Labs.

to bring 10 ml of 6mg/ml juice up to 12 mg/ml you'd need to add:

2.5 ml of 36 mg/ml
1.67 ml of 48 mg/ml
1.25 ml of 60 mg/ml
0.68 ml of 100 mg/ml

To bring 10 ml of 6 mg/ml juice up to 18 mg/ml, you'd need:
4 ml of 48 mg/ml
2.8 ml of 60 mg/ml
1.46 mg of 100 mg/ml

Using this spreadsheet I made to get the numbers https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...dEpVRzZpNE55V1NHc25HaXlUdVlpeXc&usp=drive_web

1 + 1 = Maths, I quit. :lol:

Now ya'll know why I look to Superman for the joose.

Amen Brother!! I was thinking that I could just buy 6mg for dripping and "kick it up" a bit for clearos. ;) Recently got started dripping and QUICKLY discovered that dripping 12 or 18 on a Magma built to about .4-.5 is kind like :shock::blink:8-o

I use HotRod's calculator. It has an adjust Nicotine Levels tool in it that is very simple to use.
ECF thread here (the newest active link can be hard to find in the very large thread): http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/480587-new-calculator-try.html
Direct download link here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByHCyknRKMBCTjQ0d0pEWklsSnc&usp=sharing

That is the one I use for my DIY, but that is overkill for what 69CamaroSS wants.

69CamaroSS, make your own spreadsheet. Going to number cells, but you can do that however you want:

Cell A:1 label "Desired nic level"
Cell B:1: input a level, say 6 to use for an example
Cell A:2 label "Level of base nicotine"
Cell B:2 put in 100
Cell A:3 label "Number of ml's to make"
Cell B:3 put in an example number, say 60
Cell A:4 label "ml's of nic base needed"
Cell B:4 put in this formula (you can copy and paste from my post) =(B:1/B:2)*B:3 If using Google Docs: (B1/B2)*B3
Cell A:5 label "ml's of flavor needed"
Cell B:5 put in =B:3-B:4 If using Google Docs B3-B4

Done.

Here is what it would look like:

Not really over kill Pen, here's a screen shot of the Nic module. Kinda looks like your spreadsheet...

I know, I use it. Best app I know that keeps track of my inventory of my 254 different flavorings for DIY and all my recipes. But Camaro may not want to install a DIY app just to calculate nic percentages. I was simply offering an alternative.

I am really glad you let the cat out of the bag. The nu vapor secret had kept me from ordering more juice.
After searching perkins paste, and joining nuvapor i didn't like that forum. My opinion was that it was sorta snobby to have a rule to not discuss it on ECF. anyway, I hope to see hummingbird stick around it is one of my favorites

Hi, Ladie! I'm glad you like Hummingbird, I JUST ordered it on Friday! I'm excited to see what it's like.

Take care,
Dani

I dint enjoy it the first thirty minutes or so, but then Something clicked with my taste buds and I can't get enough!
Maybe it was the lychee.

I enjoy it the best in a Sophia and heron at about 1.8 ohm build.
