Anyone got 2 minutes to answer a Nicotine base amount question?

[kinny999]

I've recently bought this http://lubrisolve.co.uk/shop/e-ciga...ion-in-monopropylene-glycol-usp-ep-grade.html for DIY liquid.

I've run a few test recipes through Steam-engine to get an idea of what I'll be doing and to get the hang of actually filling it in correctly, could some kind soul just let me know if this *looks* right for a 50ml batch of 70vg/30pg at 1.2mg?

Recipe
Add ml
Nicotine base (VG) 8.33
Flavor 1 (VG) 2.5
Flavor 2 (VG) 2.5
VG 21.85
PG 14.82

I think that's right but that seems a lot of Nicotine and I'd rather check with it being poisonous and all.

yip looks about right...but with only 10% total flavouring, what concentrates are you using?

 

[RichieRich]

What is the Nicotine level you are using to mix?

 

[kinny999]

Both flavours were just both set at 5% for a test and the Nicotine is 7.2% and 100ml.

But that seems ok, not like I'm adding WAAAY too much nicotine?

I thought it was odd to add so much when i started DIY a few days ago. I add Nic for the wife, and leave mine nic free.

The mixes i've done for the wife seem spot on, she's happy with the content and not complained of it being too weak or too harsh. Initially i thought it would be too much when i looked at eliquid calculators but it's worked out great.

As long as you get your base nic level inputted correctly, then you'll be fine.

Thanks all, yeah that was just me being super wary of *thinking* I've got it and then the next time any of you hear about me being when i turn up in the local paper dead from a Nicotine poisoning overdose. Thanks for the quick replies all, I appreciate it.

Sorry yeah, ticked the VG box for the base by accident.

 

[vapegrl]

Are you also sure the flavours are VG based?

 

[kinny999]

I'll be sure to check before I actually start mixing for real; which I can do now I'm happy I'm not going to put 8x the correct amount of nicotine in!
