Upping Nic Strength

[ckquatt]

I'm sure this has been covered ad nauseum, but what I could find I didn't quite understand the math involved. I was a band geek in school. Here's the situation:

I have coming to me 2 30ml bottles of "Pluiid" 10 mg strength. When I bought them the other day I didn't realize they came in 20 mg. So what I want to do (in the off chance 10 mg doesn't satisfy me) up it to say 15mg or so (my usual strength is 18mg). I have 24 mg nic base 50/50 pg/vg, and 48 mg nic base 100% pg. What is the equation to figure that out. How much of either do I need to add to it to make it 15mg? It maybe that I won't need it at all but the equation would be nice to have for other things as well later on.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you do equal parts of the 10mg nic and the 24mg nic, that will give you a 17mg nic juice. If 18mg is your norm, this should feel pretty normal to you.

I can do the easy math.....I'm sure there is someone on here that could give you the "equation" to get exactly 18mg if you wanted it.

For a a 30 mL bottle of 10 mg, adding 8 mL of 48 mg base will result in 38 mL of 18 mg juice. Using the higher strength 48mg juice will lessen the effect on the flavoring, although it will still be weaker.

Thanks guys!! What was the exact equation you used to get this result? For future reference.

It's simply a ratio of how many mL of how much mg of nic results in the desired result.

I've been using it for my DIY, I just now saw the "Nic Combine" tab. Got it! Thanks!

I work things out via percent's totaling 100. For a 50/50...I use 47% PG/Nic, 47% VG/Nic and 6% flavoring. If making a 100ml, it is simple. I generally make 100ml of the juice and then split it 4 ways into four juices and then add flavoring. It keeps things simpler.
