Much appreciated, they have a Facebook group too, a lot of people say their juice is really good and I wanted to try because of price but they need to fix the errors on their site, it makes me nervous.
As it should, it's obvious to any "older" vaper that they have not likely done their due diligence.
You'd be wise to give 'em a wide berth.

I'm sure this is obvious but for example, 3% = 3MG, 6% = 6MG, etc...correct?

As others have Mentioned, this is Not Correct.

Why?

Because the Density of Pure Nicotine is 1.01 grams per Cubic Centimeter.

Since 1 Cubic Centimeter = 1 Milliliter, you could express Nicotine's Density as...

Pure Nicotine is 1.01 grams per Milliliter. Or 1.01g/ml

And if we convert grams to milligrams we would get...

Pure Nicotine is 1010 milligrams per Milliliter. Or 1010mg/ml

---

For what we do, and for the Level of Precision that we tend to work with in Measuring/Discussing Nicotine amounts in an e-Liquid, we Round Off the Density of Nicotine to 1000 Milligrams per milliliter, 1000mg/ml, because it makes the Math "Easier".

When you see someone Expressing the amount of Nicotine in an e-Liquid (or in a Nicotine Base) as a Percentage, they are giving you a percentage of 1000mg.

And since Percentages are consider "Unit Less", they will/can drop the Milliliters.

So when you see a Nicotine Percentage, take the Percentage of 1000mg and it will give you the Amount of Nicotine in milligrams per every milliliter. ie: mg/ml
