This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I know you can, I do the same haha. What I'm saying is, they couldn't have both accidentally read the 50mg as 50% while simultaneously claiming to have calculated exactly how much would be needed to dilute it to 49%, because diluting it to 49mg and 49% would be two different calculations and it's unlikely they'd make that mistake after doing the calculations.

I see what you're saying, but for the sake of this end goal the difference between diluting by 1% (to 49.5 mg) vs 1 mg isn't too big of a deal odds are they did it by percent of original nicotine, but the idea behind a taper stays pretty much the same.
