Thank you. I didn't realize it would alter flavor and nic. Brings up another question. If I would mix 12mg nic with 3mg nic of same flavor trying to achieve 7.5mg nic - would it be a true 7.5mg, or am I missing something?
It's simple math, folks. Didn't we all learn this stuff by freshman year? I bet you were one of the ones who went "I don't need to learn/remember this stuff, I'm never gonna use it in real life!" Well guess what...now it's "real life," and I bet you wish you'd learned/remembered it now, don't ya?
Since the one liquid is 50/50, you'll be adding the same quantity of PG as you add VG. You want to add "x" amount of each ("2x" amount of liquid, total) so that the resulting mix is 60/40.
(65+x) / (35+x) = 60/40 = 1.5
(65+x) / (35+x) = 1.5
65 + x = 1.5(35 + x)
65 + x = 52.5 + 1.5x
12.5 + x = 1.5x
12.5 = .5x
25 = x
You want to add X = 25% each of PG and VG, or 50% total of your 50/50 liquid. Let's check, with an easy example of 100ml liquid so that 1ml = 1%:
65ml PG/35ml VG
Add 50ml 50/50, so 25ml PG/25ml VG
Total 90ml PG/60ml VG
90/60 = 60/40 = 1.5
Check!
Also:
90 + 60 = 150
90 / 150 = .6 (60% PG)
60 / 150 = .4 (40% VG)
Check, again!
---------------------------------
Edit: to clarify, you start with 100ml (or 100%) of the 65/35, then take 50% of that amount and add that much (50ml in the example) of the 50/50 liquid. Or in other words, 2 parts 65/35 to one part 50/50, for any size "part."
Thanks so much! I appreciate your thorough explanation, and no ... math is not my thing! LOL Your last sentence answered my question perfectly - thanks!It's simple math, folks.

That would be correct so long as you mixed equal volumes of each. A full bottle of 18 plus a full bottle of 0 equals 2 bottles of 9. A bottle of 12 and a bottle of 6 gives the same result. Two bottles of 12 plus a bottle of 3 gives 3 bottles of 9, and so forth. A 10ml syringe for measuring will let you do fractional bottles...
Thank you! Somewhere I read mixing different Nic mg's, even if the same flavor, that it would not be a "true" final mg that we're looking for. They said it had something to do with the way the nic is mixed with the PG or something. I did NOT understand that thought process, but I'm not a "mixologist", so what do I know? lol Thanks!
They may have just been saying it's not additive. For example if you take a bottle of 6mg and add it to a bottle of 3mg, you do not simply end up with 6+3=9mg. You have to account that each one is only half of the final mix. So you would do .5(6) + .5(3) = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5mg/ml for the final strength.
Thanks. Wish I had notes of what I read, it had something strictly to do with how nic is used in the PG alone, was kinda strange & didn't make sense. I do understand what you're saying, tho, & appreciate your help!
