help with nic liquid

[LauraBolyard]

I have a REALLY sensitive pallate and have had a lot of trouble finding tobacco flavors that dont have various undertones. I recently (yet again) tried another sample pack of tobacco flavors. I noticed that thaey also sold nic liquid. The lowest mg was 24, so I bought it. My intention was to dilute a liquid if it was just 'too much'! So, now I am staring at the bottle and wondering if its ok to do.

What base is the niquid? (VG or PG) ? How low do you want it to be? Yes it's fine to do, many here do it just about every day!

Thanx! It's 25/75 I'm at the point now wherei I'm tired of spending so much money trying things when I don't get very lucky!! I may have to start brewing!! So... It's ok???!!! TY!!

[Jim Bob]

Yes (for an example) you can use plain VG (can get at many Wal-Marts or local drug stores "cheap priced") or PG @ 50% with 50% of your niquid( example 10 ml each- total 20ml of 12mg/ml nicotine juice to vape) and end up with 12 mg/ml of juice, now IF you're using flavored niquid you'll lose most all the flavor but if not have at it and enjoy. You "can" also add flavorings to make something you really like the DIY forum right here is great resource IMO

After reading your post again, I'm thinking you are not really wanting to reduce the nicotine that much, but want to dilute the flavors a bit? IF this is the case, *I* would try (example only) 3ml flavored juice with One Mg of the Niq juice and see if that is "just right" or too much dilution of flavors, then try say 4(flavor)-1(nic juice), 5-1 etc. until you find your Niche .... happy vaping!

EDIT: just to add , so long as you don't have juice with more than 24mg you won't go Over 24 mg/ml so you don't have worry about that , example adding your 24mg/ml with 18 mg/ml flavored juice won't raise it above 24 it will be under 24 mg/ml depending on the ratio

Yep, you'll be fine. Diluting a liquid only reduces the nic strength and flavor. If you add a bunch of VG it'll get thicker, though, but just experiment a little bit and don't sweat it if you're not happy with the results first time.

Laura, which tobacco liquids have you tired so far? Which ones were closest to what you're trying to find?

[LauraBolyard]

My all month vape is bwb Backo. I do like other bwb, but only with NO sweet, nut, flower, perfume, etc!! I apparently have a very sensitive palette and a few bad experiences to go with it that I am really paranoid to deviate much!! I did just get a sample pack from freedom smoke. Out of 7, 3 could be workable. The others had a nutty overtone. Of the workable... Lucky strike, turbo smog, and Turkish. I am thinking that I may eventually have to DIY! As for now, a slight dilute for 'duds'! Help!!!

If you think finding a juice you like is hard, wait till you DIY.

If you want to dilute the flavor and nicotine strength, add PG or VG

If you want to dilute the flavor but keep the nicotine strength the same, you're going to have to get a PG or VG nic base the same strength as your juice.

Is there a particular flavor in the juice you're trying to get rid of? Post over in the DIY section and they can help you come up with a fix. They helped me with a too sweet juice.

OK, I just re-read your post and you have nic base you're going to use. I'd try with a small amount first. I had to do that with a juice I made that I added too much flavoring.
