Nicotine concentration

[yaasir]

I'm sure there are many techniques out there to measure your desired nicotine concentration but just one of the methods I use to get my final concentration in my e-juice:

c1v1 = c2v2 where:

c1= initial concentration (Nicotine you bought)
v1= initial volume (amount of nic you going to add, also known as your unknown)
c2= final concentration (the concentration you want your juice to be)
v2= final volume (amount of juice you preparing)

Example:
If i have a bottle of 36mg/ml nicotine purchased from the shop.
And i wanna make 100ml of my own e-juice.
And i want my juice to have 3mg nicotine strength.

Then:
c1v1=c2v2
36 x (unknown) = 3 x (100ml)
unknown = 3mg x 100ml / 36mg
unknown = 300 / 36
unknown = 8.33

therefore you will throw in 8.33ml of your 36mg/ml nicotine to 91.67ml to give you a final volume of 100ml juice 3mg/ml nicotine concentration.

Not to sound rude.... but why not just use a website like ELR?

It's great to have a formula on hand - thanks for that! Just in case
But this tool: http://www.steam-engine.org/juice.html
Takes all the math out of it.

I know.. Its just in case you not connected online... and don't have any means to PC or phone then its a simple equation.. use it don't use it, I'm just putting it out there

With load-shedding back in action it can't hurt to know how to do this with no power facilities!

Not to be rude, but why doesn't everyone just do mathematical formulas? Technology has made us really lazy.

@yaasir I used a similar formula for my aquarium tank Estimative Indexing plant food, worked very well for me.

Wow, I dint know there was a formula or there was a website for calculating this.
I used to do calculate using simple maths, 10 ml eliquid with 18mg nic, if you want 3mg nic then the total volume is X.
10*18=3x
Answer 60 ml, which means u need to add another 50 ml of Pg or VG to make the nic concentration 3mg.

Well I realize now it's the same formula as @yaasir mentioned, but I never looked at it that way.

I guess Technology is the way forward. Hence how vaping replaced cigs, (well for me anyway). But i never bothered to check online for an app to calculate it..
My studies included many formulas I had to know and use but now that we all working and all, we tend to forget nearly everything and only what we use on a daily basis still remains.

Thanks for sharing this tip and formula @yaasir
