Your calcs would have worked if the total was 10ml, but if you're adding nic to 10ml, you will end up with more than 10ml.  Easy mistake to make and in no way makes you dim

I definitely do not think you are dim jmw2309  You do yourself a dis-service there.

Sorry Roger that wasn't meant to come across as a dig if it did

No,no, not at all.  I just thought you were being a bit harsh on yourself.  I didn't see any dig in there at all.

I've always found the easiest way is to work out total nicotine wanted.

So 10ml of 6mg contains 60mg of nicotine. Say you want to up it to 12mg, then you need another 60mg of nicotine. This will increase the volume though. That is about 0.8ml of 72mg/ml nicotine except you now have 10.8ml containing 120mg of nicotine which is actually 11mg/ml. Adding much more than that is likely to make the flavouring noticeably weaker which may or may not be a good thing. Easiest way is if you happen to have some juice of the same flavour with a higher than needed nic level and you mix the two.

So you have zero nic juice and you want 12mg/ml juice - if you mix 24mg/ml juice half and half with zero nic you get 12mg. I made up a lot of juice at 24mg which I now find unvapeable as much over 12mg/ml makes me cough my socks up. So I can make up a bunch of zero nic juice of the same flavours and mix them 50:50.
