Nicotine Concentrate Formulas (VG/PG Base)

Nicotine Dilutions(VG\PG)

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.
