Bebop Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) The term " nicotine juice" is far too colloquial IMO. It does not acurately describe what it is. "Juice" implies that it has a flavor or is a finished product which it is not. "Base" is the more acceptable term. It is a chemistry term that fully tells you what it is. You are looking for a nicotine base. The chemical nicotine is suspended in a base liquid to dilute it. That base can be made of pg, vg, or some combination of the two although most mixers prefer a single component base. The nicotine content is measured in mg/ml So a 60mg base has 60 milligrams of nic suspended in each millilitre of base. A 10 millilitre bottle of 60mg base contains 600 mg of nicotine total. This is why you need to dilute it with flavorings and pg or vg. Are you with me so far? Edited July 15, 2014 by Bebop12 Mtdobies and Tam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebop Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Here's an example to make the math simple, not because this is a good recipe, lol We're going to make 1 10ml bottle of 12mg eliquid: 2 ml of 60mg base (pg base) 3 ml of pg based flavoring 5 ml of vg (unflavored, no nic) Thats 10ml total volume, 120mg of nic of roughly 50/50 pg/vg eliquid. That's 12 mg/ml eliquid Mtdobies and Tam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Reaper Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Beautiful, thank you so much, i actually thought it was nicotine base but so many refer to it as juice so i wanted to be sure before doing something potentially dangerous, thank you sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
