A Thing of Mathematical Beauty

[kurotoshiro]

I just discovered something I hadn't realised before. I tend to mix liquids at 60% PG / 40% VG and around 10mg nic. As a rule of thumb, I also try to keep flavour at 20% or under. And these proportions just happen to have a very simple mathematical basis:

I can mix 2 parts VG with 1 part PG and 1 part 52mg nic base.

I can then mix 4 parts this liquid with 1 part flavouring (+ PG if necessary to make the amount up).

This yields a final mix at 60% PG / 40% VG, nic 10.4mg.

Almost too easy.

It probably is if you're of a Mathematical persuasion Kuro . . . I'm not remotely. Though I do know where the levels ought to be in a bottle, after I've added the various components to make a liquid to suit my tastes and strength.


So that probably makes me almost mathematical.

I'm not particularly mathematically-minded either, but I can handle "2 parts of this to 1 part of that". (I only did the maths to check these proportions were correct. And now, hopefully, I'll have to do less maths in future!)

I like 10mg mixes with 20% flavouring too, though so crap am I at maths that I only just realised this makes my juices only 80% VG!

Probably works out for the best though, and the 10mg does indeed keep the numbers nice and simple

I have to use EJuice an Apple app to help me.

I'm using liquix

I normally do 5ml of vg to my 32mg pg nic base and flavour to make 10ml
Always works out to be a 50/50 mix in 10ml
If I was filling a 20ml bottle it would be 10ml vg 30ml bottle it would be 15ml vg and so on. Makes life easy.
Yes I know the final nic content will be about 16mg or less but sometimes I dont even notice lol
