100% pure nicotine

[Wats85]

Was talking to a buddy tonight who is getting premixed 0 mg juices and adding his own nic.... I was asking what strength he was adding as to get his desired level of nic in the liquid he will be losing upwards of 30% of the juices flavor by volume... He replied with 100% pure nic not mixed in a vg or pg base.... i said i hadnt heard of people doing this before... i use 100mg, anyone ever heard of this or is he mistaken?? I'm thinking he must be because I thought 100% would be a powder

He would need a hazmat suit to mix with that. The fumes alone are deadly, and to my understanding, individuals cannot purchase it. I imagine he's in error or just bs-ing.

Yeah I'm thinking he is just mistaken, pretty stand up guy. I'll have to get together with him to see what exactly is going on lol

You may want to buy him some safety goggles, too.

Discussion of nic levels above 90% other than in passing are, from what I read above, not allowed on this forum. It would likely be best to discontinue this discussion. I can see the OP is pretty new and likely did not know.

Just explaining that his friend was mistaken. Wasn't discussing it in detail. Btw, no discussion over 20%. Thank you natchez.

For example, if your friend vapes 18mg nic juice. It is very easy to make unflavored nic juice. Whether he has 100 nic or what ( I think he may have 100mg but in pg) If he ordered the 0 nic premixed vape juice with like 5 extra flavor shots and then mixed 50/50 with his own mixed nic juice he would have what he vapes.

30 ml of Unflavored 36 nic juice
+
30 ml of Premixed 0 nic with 4 or 5 extra flavor shots

= 60 ml of 18 mg nic flavored juice.

I know this is very hard to write out so you understand what I am saying. The very easiest thing for you friend to do is get deeper into DIY. Very easy to make my unflavored 18 mg nic juice and add flavors to it. And it is fun as well as rewarding. And above all it is "less expensive" than what he is trying to do now. IMO. I have become a bit lazy in my mixing. I buy vaping Zone concentrated or gourmet flavors which are real strong and use less. I have a big bottle of unflavored 18mg nic juice and I just but it in a smaller bottle, say 20 ml and then add 8 drops of 2 different flavors and shake and vape. Easy Peasy.

Good luck to you and your friend. Have fun with it.

This calculator may help your buddy when trying to mix what he is trying to mix. Just thought it might help.

Unfortunately it's not hard to find if you want it, so he more than likely has it...just make sure he knows exactly how dangerous it is and try and get him onto some good pre-mixed. Jimi has been raving about Nicotine - Vapers Tek get him to give it a shot, before he has an accident!

He's probably confusing 100mg with 100% not really knowing there's a difference. I'd want to see it. If he in fact was using full strength he would overdose (horrible headaches) quickly with the slightest mistake.

100 mg per mL. I'll bet is being improperly called 100% nic. If I'm wrong, somebody is in danger. (That's 10% nic.)

Many inexperienced vapers make that mistake. 100 mg/ml is 10% nicotine, not 100% nicotine.

Having said that, those people who can't tell a 10% from 100% nicotine solution probably shouldn't attempt to DIY.

Just musing...

Thanks for clearing that up. I saw the thread title and got a little worried.
