a newbie mixing e-liquid

[zouzounaki]

Hi Zouzounaki, thanks for the reply, I dont want to be getting into trouble with the forum speaking about anything illegal. You said 20mg is the strongest allowed, This is where i'm getting confused. Is the 7.2% nicotine stronger than 20mg? Is this an illegal site i have been on?

what @Leni says above. 7.2% = 72mg. mixing unflavoured liquid is super easy. you can do it by the litre. i wouldn’t necessarily bother with scales in that case. 12 is 1/6 of 72. so then just work out your vg/pg ratio. i usually do it with a 1 litre graduated measuring jug. i don’t think it’s a huge deal if it comes out at 11 or 13mg.

As its 12mg im guessing its a 50/50 vg/pg mix.

So as 100ml is usually the smallest size bottles of 72nic and nic is pg based.
Just mix

100ml 72mg nic (*pg based)
200ml pg
300ml vg

Personally use a 750ml or 1 litre bottle so theres room to shake well and just pour all ingredient in and give a good shake. As nic is 100ml bottle theres no measuring of it just pour whole bottle in. Still advise wearing protective gloves though as nic will absorb into skin and wont be pleasant at that strengh.

*If the nic is vg based then just swap quantities of vg and pg

If like the majority of people you cant get 72nic. You could still save a little money by using 18mg nicshots

For each 10ml 70/30 vg/pg 18mg nichshot add 4.5 ml pg and 0.5ml vg to make it 12mg and 50/50

Not all nic is PG based, it does come as a VG base as well.

Thought that was the case but wasn't sure. Ive only used nicshots before when mixing.

You can get 100%VG Nicshots as well
