Lowering the strength of e-liquid manually

[jedisilversun]

I thought it might be useful on this beginner forum to have a thread about safe ways to lower e-liquids seeing as a lot of noobs seem to have a problem slightly over doing it with nic inhilation.

So i have my bottle of 14mg '555' juice but i only smoke extra light cigarettes so it would be prudent of me to lower the strength of the juice rather than deal with the effects of too much nic in my system (cause lets face it when you first get your e-cig, putting it downs a bit of a problem haha).

* I have Glycerine in my cupboard, bought from the chemist to deal with a sore throat one time. Can i use this stuff and if so what ratios do i use it in?

* Where can i get dropper bottles from to mix?

* When messing around with filter 'fluff' and nicotine should i wear protective gloves?

Any more?
