Nicotine base calculator
Prepare your nicotine base all at once
This calculator tells you how many boosters to add to your neutral base to reach the desired nicotine strength. Prepare a large volume at once; all you will need to do is add your concentrated flavouring.
A nicotine base is a mixture of neutral base (0 mg/ml) and nicotine boosters, most often sold in 20 mg/ml. The more boosters you add, the higher the strength — and the closer the PG/VG ratio gets to that of the boosters, hence the second calculator below to check what you actually get.

How to use the base calculator
- Enter the total volume of base to prepare;
- Enter the desired nicotine strength;
- Check the strength of the boosters you have — 20 mg/ml is the market standard.
The calculator then gives you the volume of nicotine-free base and boosters to mix, as well as the equivalent number of 10 ml bottles.
Which nicotine strength should you choose?
The right strength depends on your smoking profile: 3 mg/ml for a light smoker (up to 5 cigarettes a day), 6 mg/ml for a moderate smoker (5 to 10), 11 to 12 mg/ml for an average smoker (10 to 20) and 16 to 18 mg/ml above that. Then adjust: too much nicotine gives an unpleasant throat hit, while too little leaves cravings unsatisfied.
