Old Skool meets new skool

[Cammy]

Right, been away for yonks but I've kept on vaping. So hello again. Or simply hello...

I'm old school mixing - you know my own VG (from Boots) PG, 7.2% nic, flavours etc... Been doing it for over 7 years. Anyway, I have a question which I hope someone can shed some light on and let me know if i'm right cos I'm stuck in my ways and like to do it the way I'm used to...

I found a flavour that I like but they cant do it for me in a concentrate. I can buy a 100ml shortfill which comes with 2 x 10ml 18mg nic shots which will make 120ml of liquid at 3mg BUT I want my liquid to be 8mg.

Therefore I believe if I mix 20ml of my nicotine with PG to dilute it to 48mg then if I add the 20ml of 48mg PG based nic to the shortfill, then I will have 120ml of the juice at the flavour it should be as I am still only adding 20ml to the 100ml, the only difference is the strength...

I believe that 48mg is correct because the ratio is 1:6 and if I want 8mg then the input amount must be 6x8 (as the original is 3x6 =18mg) =48mg..

Am I right or am I barking up the wrong tree...

Couldn't tell you if you are right or wrong BUT I would just use your 72mg nicotine!!
I have been using bottle shops for a while now and just add my stock of frozen 72mg to it to get the 3mg that I vape atm!!

Cheers Winnietyson.

Gonna give it a go. I think my maths are correct

Cammy  Add 13.3ml of 72mg/ml nic and 6.7ml of VG or PG to give approx. 8mg/ml nic strength.

Or, alternately add 20ml of 48mg/ml nic to the 100ml no nic shortfill to make 120ml @8mg/ml


(To make up a 100ml bottle of 48mg/ml nic : dilute 66.7ml of 72mg/ml nic by adding 33.3ml VG or PG)

Cheers Postmodern. Much appreciated.
