Confused with making 250ml shortfill into 20mg nic salt

BradersN asks:

Hi there I'm looking to get into DIY and finding it quite confusing. I've found a 250ml shortfill containing 50ml of concentrate. I want to make this into 250ml 50/50 20mg salts eliquid. So I pressume I buy the base mix of 50/50 pg/vg but can't work out how many nic shots I would need to add to get too 20mg nic salts calculators don't seem to have the nic salts options on there

hack400 replies:

You’ll not be able to get it to 20mg with 20mg nic salts. If you put 20 10ml 20mg nic shots in (to make 250ml) it would be 16mg.

BradersN asks again:

Right ok I usually vape 10ml bottles of 50/50 20mg salts so looking to make up the 250ml to anywhere near that

hack400 clarifies:

See above edited post

BradersN asks for more information:

Wow so I would have to purchase 20! Nic salt shots to get that? Sorry and hope I've asked in right place maybe way to go is normal nic shots. I'm just trying to find how to turn 50ml concentrate into 250ml of 50/50 20g ejuice

hack400 explains:

It would be exactly the same with normal nic shots (although they normally max out at 18mg), so you’d end up with lower nicotine.

P2PLeon suggests:

You would have to purchase higher nic like that of pre tpd, as you would only need less. And 62.5ml would have made 18 mg so just a tad more would make 20 mg.. likely 69ml or about. I would look for sources for this.

MrDJ explains:

250ml bottles were designed to save on buying shortfills. all of these were mainly designed for sub ohm vaping at 3mg nic strength. ive bought around 25 of these 250ml custards called one shots. the 50ml concentrate is pg based. it also comes with a bottle of vg and 4 x 18mg nic shots. this will make the final mix of 250ml of 70vg/30pg and a final strength of 3mg. it would be impossible to make 20mg with these as you would need so many nic shots it will dilute the flavour so much there would be no taste. the only way as mentioned is to source some 72% nicotine but this cannot be openly talked about on an open public forum as since tpd this now only officially allowed to be purcheased if you have a trade accound and not available to the general public.

P2PLeon apologizes:

Sorry MrDJ. Got there before you. PM sent

Rickster adds:

Also to add don't buy base mix, buy bottles vg and bottles of pg only or else you will fk up the calculator.
