i'd like my NON nic flavouring to have a bit of NIc in it?

[emmita]

I bought some non Nic liquid and am wondering if I can just add a drop (or two) of my 24mg nic base to it for a bit of a hit.
Any ideas  please?

emmita if you take 10 ml of your zero nic liquid and add some of your 24mg nic base to it you will get:

Add 1 ml ... 11 ml of 2.2mg

Add 2 ml ... 12 ml of 4.0mg

Add 3 ml ... 13 ml of 5.5mg

Add 4 ml ... 14 ml of 6.9mg

Add 5 ml ... 15 ml of 8.0mg

As you said that you only want a "bit of a hit", I haven't gone any higher than 8 mg, but if you want anything higher, tag me and I will get back to you.

ETA: If you don't have a syringe or any other means of accurately measuring 1 ml, then 30 drops is usually taken to be a good approximation of 1 ml.

@freefromsmoking  thanks a lot.  I'd also like the option for 12mg nic.........would I need to add 7 mils of my nic base(24mg) to the 10mls of non nic liquid for that?

No, you'd need to add 10ml.

10ml of 24mg +
10ml of 0mg =

20ml of 12mg

Pretty basic maths really.

I've just logged back on but I see that your question has been answered. It is much easier when your required mg strength is a precise fraction of what you are starting with. With the 12 mg you asked about it is 1/2 of 24 so you mix equal amounst of zero nic and 24 mg nic. One thing to take into account is that the flavour of your zero nic e-liquid will be reduced by adding unflavoured 24mg nic base.

Thanks. Maths was not my best subject at school more than 50 years ago!!! But it is all clear now

YVW emmita ... I also meant to say that to avoid reducing the flavour of your zero nic e-liquid you could buy some of it in the 24mg strength and mix that with the zero nic stuff.

It's all about averages.

I can see how, from the examples above, you arrived at 7ml. Like FFS said, it is easier if they are exact fractions but not that hard if they're not.

If you break your figures down into equal parts you would have 7 parts of 24mg and 10 parts 0mg. Add them all together, 7x24 plus 10x0. Total 168. Divide that by the total amount of parts, in this case 17 individual parts and you'd have 17ml of 9.9mg.

Also like FFS said, add 10ml of plain juice to 10ml of flavoured juice and you're diluting the flavour by half.

There are one or two online calculators that'll do it all for you.
