Like I said - 20ml of 18mg nicotine in a VG base does not weigh 25.22 grams. It just doesn't.

Yes it does. Approx.

Did you measure by ml or grams?

I'm measuring in grams. What I'm saying is, the calculator tells me that 20ml is equivalent to 25.22 grams. But it isn't. It can't be.

 

[GnerpinLamblechop]

Yes it does. Approx.

It doesn't though. 20ml weighed less on my scales when I added it. So it can't weigh that.

There are a few answers then. Your scales are not accurate. You have PG based nic, not VG. Your bottles didn't contain 10ml. I think it must be one of those.

Unless the nicotine shots I bought are PG instead of VG. But it clearly says 100% VG on the label. It's proper Nic Nic, not some generic, no brand make. So I wouldn't have thought they would get their labelling wrong.
I will check again to make sure...

I'm trying to go with your reasoning - BUT, the juice I made did not feel like 6mg on the inhale. It felt more like 9 or 10.
I have not had that problem with another brand of nicotine that was 30/70 based. Mixing to 6mg FELT like 6mg.

14% of that concentrate might be too much, and it is the amount that is making you feel ill?

Just double checked the label. Definitely says 100% VG.

Okay. There is another variable. I used the wrong concentrate. Meaning, I reached for the cigar type and ended up putting a biscuit concentrate in instead. That messed things up beyond repair to begin with. But neither concentrate contains nicotine (according to the labels). However, that biscuit concentrate feels like it has nicotine in it. It's that unmistakable feeling of inhaling too much nic. I don't know if a concentrate can make you feel like that. But as tasty as it is, I don't enjoy the feeling I get off it.

That leaves your scales are wrong, or the bottles didn't contain 10ml.
