New to nic salts.

submitted over 5 years ago by daddywompusx

Hey guys! I'm trying to figure out how to calculate my nicotine salts properly. I used to use the 100mg per volume stuff, but now I have liquid nicotine wholesales 6mg nicotine salts. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks guys!

Nicotine is nicotine. It is not calculated any differently because it's in a different form

I use this site to help, it has a great calculator to help you get your mixes right, and you can choose to do it by weight or volume. You can also enter all the flavors you have and it will show you which recipes you can make with what you have. I hope it helps if it doesnt please let me know and I will try and help you get it worked out. Best of luck to you and happy vaping :) https://e-liquid-recipes.com/

I use nic salts as well and it took me a bit to figure out the ratios to work with mixing. I mix 24mg final ratio in a 70/30 mix. I found I needed to get a higher nic salt base so the recipe would work. Until i bought 48mg nic salt 100%vg to make my 70/30 mix at 24mg my recip8es never came out right.

So buy your nic salt strength higher than you need and let the recipe calculators figure out the rest.

As said before nicotine is nicotine. Mix is the same on the calculator. Just make sure you get the base strength and pg/vg ratio right in the calculator.

I'm just trying to find out what the 6mg means, is it 6mg per what concentration? I'm going to make 120 ml bottles, and I'm trying to find out how much nic salts I need to put in to make it a 3mg nic juice

It should say in the bottle. You need to find out if its 100% Pg or VG? You need that ratio. You are correct. 6mg means that what is in that bottle is a total strength of 6 milligrams. The calculator will tell you how much of that bottle in combination of your flavors and pure VG and PG is needed.

This is why lazy nomenclature is bad.

It's 6mg/ml, not 6mg. The first is a measure of concentration, the second is a measurement of mass. OP, if you buy 6mg/ml you are limited (if adding flavors) to about 5mg/ml final concentration. And that assumes you don't need extra VG (or PG/PG alternative) to get your VG ratio correct.

There's nothing magical about nic salts that changes the math. Go re-read mixers math for dummies.

Ohhhhh, I see. It's a 6mg VG based nicotine salt. I guess I'm so used to using the 100ml concentration that I have to add regular vg to mix. This makes sense now.

Google a nicotine calculator if you’re mixing. If you’ve bought 6% salt Nic I wouldn’t think it needed any more mixing, unless you’re smoking sub ohm.
