Hi, can you confirm that only magnesium with water will give me a much lower PPM concentration than the combination of malic acid and magnesium? I feel like my poles don't work anymore after just two uses 🤔😩

I don't know for sure, but the reaction of Mg with water is much slower, so unless you leave it for days, you will not get much H2 produced. Whereas the reaction with malic acid is fast and intense.

The magnesium rods after some uses will also have gotten an oxide layer on it, which the weak acid will take off and expose raw magnesium.

Are 2-3 g of acid with 3 g of magnesium bar sufficient for a 750 ml bottle? I don't have the shavings but only pieces of bars.
