E-liquid strengths question

[accordioni]

Hi everyone

New to e-cigs and refilling cartridges. I have several 5ml bottles of 36mg nicotine e-liquid, but I have found the nicotine too strong and would like to mix them to 18mg nicotine. I have worked out that I would need to add 5mls of PG/VG, but how much flavour concentrate would I need to add to replenish the level of flavouring? Answers in very basic terms please, I am rubbish at maths!!!!

ok...do you by chance have an atomizer? What I would suggest is you add a few drops...shake the bottle up and put a few drops on the atomizer and vape that.....see if that's where it needs to be. If not, add a few more drops and try that. Repeat until you have it just right! Then stop! lol! I don't know what brand of flavoring you have, and I don't know how much flavoring you like..so this is the only thing I can think of that will help you. Flavorings are very concentrated, so you won't need a whole lot.

When I have juice that is too strong of nic, I place another order for the same juice at lesser nic strength. Then when it arrives, I mix the two in a separate bottle. Walaaa! No lost flavor! No wasted $$$
Vape on

Hi,

The cartomisers I am using have built-in atomisers, so I can't get to them directly, I am currently just dripping the e-liquid onto the wool in the cartomisers to refill them. I haven't bought a flavour concentrate yet to alter the strength of the above liquid, but I will probably buy some from Totally Wicked (red label).

Ah yes, good idea, then it would have the same % flavour if I mixed same flavour one 5ml bottle of 36mgnic with 2 x 5ml bottles of 6mgnic, would that give me 18mg nic?

liquid with a strength of 36 mg / mL may be dangerous to health. it need necessarily be diluted. the maximum recommended strength - 24 mg / ml. usually 12 or 18 mg / ml (or lower).
ready-made high-strength liquid can be diluted with a liquid with zero strength with the same taste.
to calculate the number of components you can use the special calculator. for example, here is an on-line calculator

If you can get the same flavor from the same vendor with 0 nicotine, then mix equal amounts of that & 36mg nic, the resulting mixture will be 18mg per ml.

Hope that helps, & Happy Vaping!

Thankyou Fed71 and Warren, yes they do 0 nictone, I will do that (-:

Yes I stopped using it because I was seeing stars after a couple of puffs!!! I have lots of 18mg so I will use this until I get the 36mg down to 18mg, thanks again

24mg has been my magic number since I started vaping. I was a heavy smoker so I found that I'd get nico withdrawal with 18mg or less unless I vaped non stop. With 24mg I can vape at my leisure with no withdrawal symptoms and save $$ on juice.

24 mg is also my magic number, but there is a moment when i like to vape constantly, i actually prefer 18 mg.

thats what i do too. im a full time vapor, husband is parttime(trying to covert him to full time) i use 12mg and he uses 24mg and if i run out before order comes in, i use 0mg(that i keep on hand) to drop his down to 12mg. works great
