nic base confusion

[geordie_vaper]

i have started diy juice making with zero nic for me and my girlfriend, but shes missing the nicotine, i want to stop bying pre made and just vape totally diy juice, ithe juices are heavy pg so will need pg nic base, my question how much do i need to add to get the desired nicotine mg, like is there a equation to use am not the best at maths either is she so any advice would be great thanks

So basically you want to add nicotine to your already made 0 nic juice?

what strength are you aiming for? It's up to you whether you buy VG or PG base, just down to your own preference. what strength of nicotine were you looking at buying?

Hi geordie_vaper I'm at the same stage, fortunately for maths dummies like us there's a mixing calculator, see mix calc on the toolbar near the top of the page on the rightish, happy mixing

Use an eliquid calculator & it's all done for you, geordie_vaper. allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/page/calculator input the nic liquid base strength you're using, then the target strength you want etc etc....

[geordie_vaper]

calculator isnt working on my phone just coming up the page with no way to add any numbers in, will try later on

I will look into this as it seems something weird is going on on the iPhone/iPad at the moment.

[geordie_vaper]

could someone explsin what mg/ml nic base i should get and what difffrence does it make?

[Postmodern Smoking]

Most people use 54mg/ml or 72mg/ml nicbase. The stronger the nic base the less that will be needed to achieve the desired strength of e-liquid. (In the UK anything 75mg/ml or higher is illegal / requires a poisons licence).


Edit] Typo

Frogster do a good nic and he would tell you how much to add,
Give him a ring he is at the alchemist cupbord with his phone number.
Thats what i did and orderd at same time with him.

[geordie_vaper]

so 72 mg/ml would be better cause less would be needed to add?

I can't access the calc from this site so I just added it to home screen
eliquid-recipes.co.uk/calculator

And yes if you use 72 mg you use less mls
Just put info in the calc and it works it's out for you

For the same quality, 72mg/ml is usually more expensive than 54mg/ml, but requires less.... So for general mixing it's swings and roundabouts between them. If however you are adding to existing e-liquid, you will dilute the flavour less with 72mg/ml.

would just be getting use to make from scratch thanks gonna do some pricing up

Remember your forum discount codes for vendors. I assume you know where to find them.
discount codes link


and note if using stronger base then you have more diluents to ass whoch you need to buy. So take this into account when calculating real cost of 72mg base compared to 54mg.
In effect you need to add 1/3 more diluents. of if you buy 100 ml 72mg/ml base then you need to add 33.3ml extra diluents overall compared to 54mg/ml base. I know it is small but it does add cost.
If PG is say £3 for 100ml then it adds £1 in effect to the cost of 72mg base.
I can vouch for PMSmoking being a reliable vendor, Dave sends ASAP and gets to you quickly. Also while at it he sells flavourart concentrates and his price is competative especially if ordering juice at same time. I like flavourart flavours and now use nothing else.
