working out ratio for adjusting nicotine strengths

[Gordy]

thought this may be helpful for anyone that has juice that isnt the nicotine strength they want and would like to change it by mixing in another juice of higher or lower strengths

legend:
want = nic strength you want to achieve
have = nic level of the juice you have
need = nic level you require
new = nic level of new juice you will need to buy to add to the juice you already have
available = available nic you have extra in new juice you bought
X = how many parts of juice you have to one part of new juice

here is a quick example

ok so we want 24mg
and we have 16mg
24 - 16 = 8mg which is what we need extra

so if we buy some 36mg strength juice
we see what amount of nic we have available
36 - 24 = 12mg

so to get the mix ratio
so take how much we have available and devide that into what you need
12 / 8 = 1.5

so the ratio is 1:1.5 or better written as 2:3

therefore every part of new stronger juice we need to add one and a half parts old weaker juice


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

always double check !!!

if we add the nic levels together and then divide by how many parts we have used

so 2:3
(2(36) + 3(16)) / 5
(72 + 48) / 5
120 / 5
= 24mg


i hope this helps someone

Too scientific for my brain to understand .HaHa.

LOL sorry Fagashlil if you did need help working out nic strengths then there are calculators online ...i dont think you are at that stage yet but if you do want help just drop me a PM

[Anne (fuzzy)]

Can I just add to this that if you want to add extra flavouring to your juice and buy a bottle of neat flavour, less is more! Just add a couple of drops at a time.

I have had a go at reducing the strength of my liquids, I used 3 parts liquid to 1 part glycerine and this has worked for me, I get more smoke and less harshness from the flavour, it is a really smooth vape for me as I never used to inhale the fags anyway.
