I did, thank you so much! I got the 120 ml bottle concentration 48 mg UPS nicotine with (VG) glycerin.
This means you have 48mg/ml. If you would like to end up with 10mg/ml like Scottie, here is the calculation:
(I asked chat GPT because it was faster than writing it myself)
To dilute a solution from 48 mg/ml to 10 mg/ml, you need to add a specific amount of water to achieve the desired concentration. Here’s the process:
- Determine the volume of the original solution (let's call it V1).
- Calculate the new total volume (V2) needed to achieve the 10 mg/ml concentration.
- Subtract the original volume from the new total volume to find out how much water to add.
The formula to use is: C1×V1 = C2×V2
Where:
- C1 = Initial concentration (48 mg/ml)
- V1 = Initial volume (ml)
- C2 = Final concentration (10 mg/ml)
- V2 = Final volume (ml)
Rearranging the formula to find V2:
V2 = C1 × V1 / C2
Assuming we start with 1 ml of the 48 mg/ml solution:
V1 = 1ml
V2 = 48 × 1 / 10 = 4.8 ml
This means the final volume needed is 4.8 ml.
To find out how much water to add:
Volume of water to add = V2 − V1
Volume of water to add = 4.8 ml − 1 ml = 3.8 ml
So, you need to add 3.8 ml of water to 1 ml of the 48 mg/ml solution to get a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.
How many mg would 5% nicotine translate to?
5% nicotine means there are 5 grams of nicotine per 100 ml of solution.
To convert this percentage to mg/ml, you multiply by 10 (since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams).
Thus, 5% nicotine is equivalent to 50 mg/ml.
You can use the above formula to calculate your dilution.
If you want a 10mg/ml concentration, you would add 4ml of water to 1ml of your initial solution.
