A question for E-Liquid DIYers

[Michael Nix]

I've been vaping for a year now, and recently ordered a 4 OZ bottle of ejuice from Tastyvapors.us, with out realizing it was Nic free. I found another site carrying 100mg nicotine and am wondering how much I would need to add to make 24 mg juice. I've looked at the charts and don't get it. Any help is apprietiated. Michael

Something off there - I'm not a DIY advisor, so I'll let them chime in with the real answer - but...
100% nicotine is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS POISON. So you're either mis-reading it, or found the wrong thing...
You probably mean 100 mg/ml nicotine - but even that requires very careful handling and isn't necessary for the fix you seek...

 

[singu]

I assume you mean 100mg...or 10% nicotine.
If you add it to your liquid it will dilute the flavour to much so i don't think you should do that.

 

[Leothwyn]

I don't think it would dilute it that much, if using 100mg nic.. It would still be at around 75% of the original flavor. I think you'd need about 38ml of 100mg/ml nic..

ETA.. if you find 100mg nic in 1 oz. bottles, and add that 1oz of it, you would bring your juice to 20mg.

 

[Michael Nix]

Sorry you are correct, it is a 15 ml bottle of no flavor 100mg nicotine for mixing.

What Train said.

A far better way to go is buy a bottle of the same juise at twice the nicotine you use, combine the two to make the nic level you want. 4 oz. 0 nic. combined with 4 oz. 12mg nic = 8 oz 6mg nic

 

[Leothwyn]

Sorry you are correct, it is a 15 ml bottle of no flavor 100mg nicotine for mixing.

So, two of those mixed in would give you 5 oz at 20mg.

That sounds right. Thanks for your help.

hold it, is this a bottle of flavor concentrate? just adding nicotine isnt going to do anything but taste wicked nasty.

if you did buy flavoring it needs to be mixed down using nic juice, pg, vg.


EDIT: i see they sell both flavoring and zero nic juices in 4 oz bottles so your probably safe.

 

[Train2]

So, 4 oz is 118 ml.
If you mix in 30 ml of 100 mg nic, you have a total of 3000 mg of nic in 148 ml of total juice - for 20 mg/ml strength, and your flavor is now at 80% of where it started, and if the nic was in VG, it'll thicken your juice a little...

Good point there!
He said E-juice, but he also said "tastyvapors.us" which doesn't come up...

Remember to be careful handling 100 mg nic. Use gloves and maybe mix in a tray you can wash up if you spill a drop or two. 100 mg nic is very potent.

Pay attention while you are mixing, okay?

if this is what you bought:
Welcome to Tasty Vapor
they are specifically double strength so you can mix it down and still get good flavor.

 

[Train2]

I see it now. Tastyvapor.
They sell no-nic "doublers" - you get twice the juice for the money with no nic...
"You get so much, that you can use it to mix down your high nicotine liquids and create larger batches, of lower nicotine liquid, without any flavor loss!" So they expect you'll do what you're doing!

Oh, didn't know about those..it seems it would be great for diluting down. Just be careful.

Download the ejuicemeup calculator. You can learn a lot by going to the DIY eliquid forum. Ask questions, and learn!

That's what I got

 

[Michael Nix]

Thanks to everyone who answered so fast.

What an odd way to sell ejuice. Yes, download the ejuicemeup calculator, small program, easy to use very small learning curve, if any. You'll need to figure out what pg/vg ratio you want to wind up with and what ratio of pg/vg nicotine you need to buy.

Having used this very same product (their "doublers"), it is essentially the same thing you'd order for vaping, minus the nicotine. My honest advice would have been to go with the double your normal nic amount, and then use this to cut the nic'd juice 1/2 and 1/2. That is the purpose of these things. Its so you can cut your juice and end up with the same "flavors". They work exceptionally well, and I used them for a while.

As to the 100mg/ml base, be SUPER careful with that stuff... at those levels, getting it on your skin is a BAD THING. Use gloves, and eye protection. Read the stickies in the DIY juice forums...then read them again. Over all, be safe, please.
