[Newbie Question] I bought 6mg Nicotine but putting in 6mg in the calculator breaks it, what am I supposed to do?

EDIT: Got it! Just ended up clicking the pre made base checkbox and using most of the bottle of 6mg I had. Flavor came out great. Thanks for all the replies! Off to buy a 100mg now...

Should I have bought 100mg Nic? Was buying 6mg a waste? Kinda confused here.

You can’t make 6mg juice with 6mg nicotine since it’s being diluted with flavors, vg, and pg.

Yes, you should have gotten a higher concentration of nicotine. Most common is the 100mg.

100mg is super easy, too. You just add the miligrams you need as a percentage of the total juice. So 6mg would be finding 6% of the total juice amount and adding that. So to 30mL of juice, it would be 1.8mL of 100mg/mL, and for 100mL of juice it would be 6mL of nicotine liquid.

realistically, you can make 3mg nic at a 40/60 vg/pg ratio with 6mg 100pg

I would if who I was making it for would take 3mg but they are dead set on 6, I made it work though
