Adding nicotine to a mix

[tsoko]

Hi

I made up 190ml of Red Astaire at 3mg (7.92ml vg nic) I normally vape this at 6mg, the 3mg has not got that throat hit. Do I add another 7.92ml of nic to make this mix 6mg?

Cheers

Yup, Sounds about right.

You need to add 8.6ml of 72mg/ml nic making a total volume of 198.6ml tsoko

Don't forget you're going to dilute your flavour strength a little with any addition, so you may want to top that up tsoko . . . . or it might be ok for you that bit weaker.

Thanks

Once I add the extra nic will I need to let it settle for a few days before vaping? It is about a month old now.

After adding and shake, shake, shaking tsoko, I'd say it should be pretty much good to go (imho); the bulk of the liquid has been steeped and you are just adding a bit more nic.
Or, leave for a couple of days if you prefer.

+1 for shake it n vape it.

Hi Postmodern Smoking, how did you get this? I have tried and cant get it to work.

Can you explain what you mean by "I can't get it to work" tsoko ?
(I entered the knowns that were 3mg/ml, 190ml and 72mg/ml then guessed the amount of 72mg/ml nicbase to add by trial and error to achieve a result close to the desired 6mg/ml (5.99))

----------------------------------------------------

From eJuiceMeUp calculator's toolbar select the “Tools” tab and “Nic Combine”:



Enter what you know, i.e. 3mg/ml, 190ml, 72mg/ml

Then guess the amount of 72mg/ml nicbase to add (Click Calculate)

Tweak this value up or down, to home in on the value that you are looking for (a 6mg result)..... remembering to press “Calculate” each time that you make a change.

You need to play around with the volumes you add tsoko . . . . to see what achieves the nearest to your desired end result. Forgive my not so professional screenshot, but I've deliberately gone for a smaller amount of 72mg so you can see the difference in calculation.

Or maybe not - as it's a bit weeny!

Hi, I did not realise you have to add a figure in the box you put a ? in to get the desired amount. I have just tried it and it works, clever when you know how. Thanks so much for the help Postmodern Smoking and Perpetua

Yes, tsoko, it's a handy tool, but it just tells you what you get if you mix a couple of liquids together rather than how to get a particular strength of mix. .... so some trial and error required.
I could make up a spreadsheet to do the calculation, but don't mind the above method!
