Super-Noobish question about DIY

[Ian91]

One other thing when you make DIY. You can make up a larger batch of unflavored juice ahead of time. I do that all the time. I leave 10% for either flavor or additional PG. I make up a batch of 225ml of unflavored at a time. When I want some new juice, I pour 45ml into a 50ml bottle and then add flavor and/or additional PG to make up the rest of the 50ml. That way you are not fiddling with high strength NIC too much.

Just to help with the mg/ml thing:


1 kilogram = 1 liter

1 gram = 1 milliliter

1000 milligrams = 1 milliliter


So for example, 72 mg/ml PG means that 72 out of 1000 milligrams is nicotine, and the remaining 928 milligrams are PG - hence the nicotine concentration in this solution is 7.2% in this example (this is nicotine concentrate remember, you would never vape this, a typical ejuice will be around 1.2% nicotine which is 12 mg/ml or normally referred to as just 12mg)


If I want a 8 mg juice (or more precisely, 8 mg/ml), then 1/9th of my ejuice would consist of the solution mentioned in the above example.

This juice would have 8 mg/ml of nicotine, and 992 mg/ml of everything else (PG, VG, flavourings) - this would be a 0.8% nicotine ejuice.


If you know this then apologies, just though I would post this as a little understanding helped me be confident that I wasn't mixing juices with dangerous nicotine levels

this is a great idea!
