Royal mail important news

[puffer2]

Yes it was vapable, i dont quite get it, it seems they are saying they now have to send 72mg by courier but its free delivery if you spend over £10. what they dont say is the 50ml has gone up £3,
They now make a 48mg which they can still send by royal mail,
It is £3 cheaper for 50ml than the 72mg,
i can make 100 x 10ml bottles with the 72mg mixing at 6mg strength
but i can only make 66 x 10ml with the 48mg.
Not sure if im losing out as it is £3 cheaper??? anyone Know???
I hope other sellers do not follow suit.
HURTING MY BRAIN.

if you manage to get 100 x 10ml bottles of 6mg out of a 50ml bottle of 72mg you are doing something very wrong - same goes for the 66x10ml from 50ml of 48mg

I am not mixing wrong cigeliquid, but my maths might be way out never was any good.
i use 5ml of nic in a 60ml mix of liquid using it at 6 72mg
that is what the juicemeup calculator tells me to do.
so 50ml / 5ml = 10 x 60ml bottles i think?
PLEASE HELP ME how many should i be getting.????

That is now correct by my calculations* 50ml of 72mg/ml will make 600ml of a finished juice at 6mg/ml. Not the 1000ml (100 x 10ml bottles) in your previous calculation.

*Quick calculation there I could be wrong.

[GeoffUK]

72mg is short for 72mg/10ml for every 10ml of nic base you use you are adding 72mg of nic to a batch.

So for your 60ml mix if you add 5ml of 72mg/10ml base you have 36mg of nic in there. So your new blend is 60ml with 36mg in it is 6mg per 10ml or 6% strength not volume.

(Edit)

Taking that a step further, if 5ml of 72mg/10ml makes 60ml at 6%. then 50ml of base wil make 600ml of 6% liquid or 60 x 10ml bottles not 100.

60 x 10ml size bottle of 6mg finished strength from a 50ml bottle of 72mg --- or 10x 60ml or 1x600ml with a finished strength of 6mg


Maths - 72 mg divided by your desired strength ( 6mg) = 12 --- Next multiply this number (12) by the size of your bottle, in this case it is 50ml

12 x by the number of ml in your bottle(50ml) = 600 ml of 6mg------Note: Most bottles will not contain bang on the ml amount on the label a 50 ml bottle might for example range from 50-55ml

600ml divided by 10 = 60 x 10ml size bottle of 6mg

Foot note: 50ml of 72 mg + 550ml of any other liquids you use that do not contain nicotine = 600ml of 6mg

Thanks guys, i was doing it all wrong as usual .
so i will get 60 x 10ml bottles from a 50ml of 72mg
and the 48mg i will get 40 x 10ml bottles, i hope i got that correct?
Now the next test for you clever chaps.
If the 48mg is £3.00 cheaper than the 72mg which is the better value taking into account i will be losing 20x10ml bottles with the 48mg.
you guys are great thanks.

OK

60ml at 6% will need 7.5ml of 48mg/10ml base.

So 50ml will make about 400ml or 40 x 10ml bottles @ 48mg and 6%
and 50ml makes 60 x 10ml bottles @ 72mg and 6%

so your £3 difference equates to 20 bottles.

If the 48mg is anything more than £6 then the 72mg is the better deal. Seemples.

I have a very simple, not hurting brain, solution puffer2 - get an e-liquid calculator. Have one on my phone (was free) - main reason I have a smart phone

[Richard46]

The 72 is £8.99 the 48 is £5.99. By my (very quick) calculations they produce precisely the same amount of e-juice per penny unless you look beyond 5 decimal places of a penny.

[violetblade]

Roughly works out the same price puffer 600ml made with the 72mg £8.99 for 50ml works out at just under 15p of nic base per 10ml of made juice 400ml made with the 48mg £5.99 for 50ml works out at just under 15p per 10ml of made juice.
Can I ask why you are paying that much for 50ml? There are far cheaper nic base vendors out there

Ah but 48 makes 40 bottles and 72 makes 60.

So if we find a number that both fit into say 120 bottles:

the 48mg base will cost 3 x £5.99 = £17.97

the 72mg base will cost 2 x £8.99 = £17.98

In bulk, I have saved puffer2 whole shiny penny.

You could of course just go to Dark vapour and save a shitload.

you guys are great thanks.

Note: start price should include Delivery costs of the order you place
If the start price for the same volume of 48mg is over 33.33% cheaper than the start price of 72mg it works out better value

Yup, which is where I got "If the 48mg is anything under £6 then its better value than the 72mg."

Hey guys im loving the maths, i can draw nice pictures but i cant spell or do maths, YES mod destroyer i do use a nic calculator i would of killed myself with nic poisoning if i didnt,
But there is no way i could of worked that lot out with it.
What am i going to spend my penny on.
Any way back to my original post, it looks like vapable are not making much profit if any by telling porkies so the royal mail issue could well be true.
I might take a look at other nic suppliers as they do seem to be a bit steep prices . Thanks guys.
Just one more thing npower my electricity supplier charges me 17p per kwh , my istick takes 2.5 hours to charge.
i will leave that one for another post lol.
