Nicotine Dilutions (VG/PG Base)

 Understand Nicotine Concentration:

• Nicotine concentrations are usually measured in milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml). Common concentrations include 3mg/ml, 6mg/ml, 12mg/ml, and so on.

  

Choose a Nicotine Base:

• Nicotine is typically purchased in a high-concentration base. For example, you might buy a 100mg/ml nicotine base. Make sure to handle nicotine with care and follow safety guidelines.

Select VG and PG Bases:

• VG (Vegetable Glycerin) and PG (Propylene Glycol) are used to dilute nicotine to achieve the desired strength and to adjust the ratio of VG to PG in the final e-liquid.

Calculate the Desired Nicotine Strength:

• Determine the target nicotine concentration for your e-liquid. For example, if you want a 6mg/ml concentration and have a 100mg/ml nicotine base, you'll need to dilute it with VG and/or PG.
  Example calculation:

• You have 10ml of a 100mg/ml nicotine base.

• To make 6mg/ml e-liquid, you need to dilute it with an additional 50ml of VG/PG base.

• Mixing Process:

• Use a scale to measure the required amounts accurately.

• Add the nicotine base first and then add VG and/or PG until the desired total volume is reached.

• Stir and Steep:

• Stir the mixture well to ensure even distribution.

• Allow the e-liquid to steep for a certain period to enhance flavor. Steeping times can vary but are often in the range of a few days to a few weeks.

• Test and Adjust:

• Test your e-liquid to ensure it meets your preferences.

• If needed, adjust the VG/PG ratio or nicotine concentration in your future batches.

Always follow safety precautions when handling nicotine, and be aware of any regulations or guidelines related to e-liquid production in your region. Additionally, accurate measurements and record-keeping are crucial for consistency and safety
