what would the mg/ml content be for 15% nicotine?

[Zach904]

Lol, the guy is in the mathematics field and is actually pretty smart. But I think he got his information from a foreign guy who owns a kiosk in our local mall and is selling fake "authentic" Nemesis clones for over 200 bucks.
So I think I understand... there are 1000mg per ml? So 150mg per ml makes 150/1000=15% And for him to be vaping 1% means 1000 x .01+= 10
Thanks for the help yall, Ill inform him of his error lol. Its not good having a professor of mathematics running around making false statements such as he made

10% (100mg) is the highest nicotine content that can be handled safely without a HAZMAT sute. At 15% you would be at the level where the fumes could make you start to feel sick.
The nic base that most of us use for DIY is 10% which we then dilute with PV & VG down to our desired level of between 1 - 2%

But don't worry, he probably can't even buy 15% nic base.

Wait till the professor gets on the forum and informs us all that 97 percent of experts agree with him! Look out then it will make for a long thread!

Community college ??...

Do you actually believe that community college is somehow inferior to a university?

You'd think the prof would have done a little RESEARCH seeing how he is in a university setting to find out what he's putting in his body. Hope this guy doesn't teach grad level coursework....

Proof positive that going to school doesn't make you smart.

Could not agree more, zanedog..... I'd just like to know that our future so to speak is in better hands than poorly educated or credentialed profs.

Mind you, off-topic ignorance is normal in most fields, and then you add the Dunning-Kruger effect in there and it gets ugly. I do see it with professors, and just as often with engineers and doctors.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.

Very roughly, 1 gram = 1 ml, or 1000 mg = 1 ml, so you're correct. It does depend on the density of the liquid, but most liquids you'll encounter in your daily life will be close enough to this that you don't need to worry about it much for casual conversions.

"Normal" concentration of 18 mg/ml would be 18 mg nicotine, 982 mg of dilutant (PG or VG for us). Roughly. Again, the density of PG is 4% higher than water, so the PG actually weighs almost 36 mg more than that. Close enough.

Maximum DIY sold is 10%, or 100 mg/ml, or 100 mg nicotine and around 900 of PG.

The quick and dirty way is take the milligrams/ml and divide by ten. That gives the percentage. So 18 mg/ml is 1.8%.

Or vice-versa, multiply the percentage by ten and that gives the mg/ml. So 2.4% is 24 mg/ml.

So therefore, 15% is 150 mg/ml, or not available to us Common Folk.

All evidence is that he isn't smart and can't do basic math. In the meantime, he's .....ing and whining about a lie he made up.

I was thinking Harvard where genius is one step away from idiot.....

Lesson to college students. Your professor is teaching you because he can't get a job in the real world.
