the nic strength in my ejuice

[handymans_special]

I bought ejuice at 1.2% nic

It is too weak

If I buy a bottle of the same flavor, only in .6% nic

will pouring them into a larger bottle give me the same flavor only with 1.8% nic?

Thanks,

No, you'll actually go down to about .9% doing this. You'll need to mix a higher strength liquid to increase the nicotine strength.

Say for example you bought a 2.4% and mixed it 1/1 (or 50/50), you'd end up with 1.8%

The calculation (assuming a 1/1 mix) would be add the two percentage strengths together and divide by 2 to get the final strength you want.

So say you wanted 2.4%, you'd actually have to add 3.6% to get that high. (3.6+1.2)/2

Thank you for that explanation. My Husband says that is how he figured it. Anyway, your explanation resolved our discussion (even though I wound up being in error). It isn't as important that I understand it as it is important we get the juice right.

Oops, someone beat me to the answer. Glad you've got it figured out. Yeah, mixing two different solutions is NEVER going to give you higher than what the highest nic solution is. It will be somewhere between the two strengths.

Good question, though. It can come in handy if you can't find your exact strength (say you like 12mg/ml, same as saying 1.2%). You can buy a bottle of 0% and a bottle of 2.4% and mix the two to get your 1.2%. Easy peasy and handy info.

Now, if you want it stronger, buy yourself a bottle of 2.4%. Mixing equal parts of 2.4% and 1.2% will give you a 1.8% juice. HTH!

This calculator should help you decide how much of each to mix. Good luck to you. I hope this helps.
