Okay I have a mixing bottle.. I put 2 10ml bottles of 18mg of nicotine and 2 10ml bottles of 0mg of nicotine.... so 40ml total... how much nicotine does that mean I am actually getting when i put it in my 2.8 ml tank?
Awful at math

I assumed I was in taking only 9ml of nicotine because I wanted to cut it in half but my brain wasnt working and I wanted to make sure I was correct and not increasing my nic intake.
In terms of nicotine strength it is measured by mg/ml. So you are taking in 9 mg per each ml that you vape.
Good answers. Here's how I think of the calculations:
The nicotine concentration should be expressed as 18mg/ml, but the industry (and community) generally use the poor shorthand of just mg. That means 18 milligrams per milliliter of liquid. A good way to figure mixes is to calculate the total mg content of the mix, and divide it by the total ml of the mix, giving mg/ml.
2 * 10ml * 18mg/ml + 2 * 10ml * 0mg/ml
360mg + 0mg = 360mg of nic, total (in 40 ml of liquid, total)
360mg / 40ml = 9mg/ml

360mg / 40ml = 9mg/ml
This is why I failed math.. So smoking lets say 6ml of what I have a day isnt to much nicotine?
Sorry to be asking so much. I just like to vape a lot and I wanted to decrease my nic intake so I never over did it. I am a worry wart.
I dont see how people vape 10ml aday at 24-30mg of nicotine.. I would so worry I would overdose or something.
Just because some one goes through 10ml aday does not mean that It is all metabolized. Some people have great efficient devices that burn through the liquid and make big clouds. Some (like me) have smaller devices and I am more like a tea sipper. I do 2 or 3 ml aday and I chain vape! (many small little poofs) Do what you need. If you start getting nauseous its time to slow down. The thing about it is that if you are getting sick feeling, it tends to go away fast.(at least for me, 15 mins) Good luck

That's what is important Gina. There is no solid nicotine intake correlation between smoking and vaping. There are a lot of variables too, so we may only ever be able to say that if you inhale a certain way and vape at 'X' power on 'Y' device you'll get between 'B' and 'C' amount of nic in your blood.
Until that gets figured out, all we have to go on is not getting nic-sick and still getting enough to keep us from smoking.
I just thought by halfing the 18mg by using the 0 nic that I could vape away and not worry about over- nicotine myself
I can be a bit OCD so I have been obsessively reading everything about nicotine and how much is to much.... Drive ya nuts trying to find the answers.
