About nicotine in ejuice

[Superuser187]

Does nic affect the viscosity of a juice?
Like if zero nicotine ejuice is thicker compare to a same pg vg ejuice with like 12mg nicotine????

Edit...sooo after a long search on the net about viscosity it seems that there are many ways to measure it and long story short I found the viscosity of pg and vg and now I wait for an email with details about pure nicotine viscosity...I had a feeling that nicotine affects the ejuice like it can delute it but ok just was curious to find out and anyways I was wrong cause the amount is not much and couldn't affect anyways...also I read that the nicotine tend to become thicker when exposed to oxygen...but anyways that makes me have more questions and I will just ignore all that and just vape xD

I don't think nic has much if any effect on viscosity. As the amount of nic in the carrier is a small percentage the carrier should be unchanged. Nic in VG should be about the same as plain VG and the same for PG.

I don't think it changes viscosity, but it does change effect.

When a Retailer makes an e-Liquid, or when a Person does DIY, they take into account what the Nicotine Base is made of. That is, is the Nicotine Base 100% PG? Or 100% VG? Or something in between like 50/50.

So the Final PG to VG Ratio of the finished e-Liquid is going to be the Same no matter what type of Nicotine Base was used. And since there is a Very Small amount of Nicotine in a Finished e-Liquid, it Doesn't really effect the Viscosity of the e-Liquid.

So a 70%VG/30%PG e-Liquid at 3mg/ml should have about the Same Viscosity as a 9mg/ml or a 12mg/ml. Or a 0mg/ml.

What Can Significantly Change the Viscosity of an e-Liquid for a given VG to PG Ratio is the amount of Water one adds to a High VG e-Liquid to help with Wicking.
