I like this calculator:
http://www.ecigexpress.com/ejuice-calculator.php

For "base nic level" put in the mg level of the nic you have coming.

your "target nic level" will be 6 or 7

"amount to be made for recipe" you'll have to enter different numbers depending on the nic level you have coming until "base no nicotine" in the right hand column says 15ml.

If you remember what level nic you ordered I can help you plug in the numbers, if you need help.

if you add to it.. . you will also lower the flavor content.. not sure u wanna do that. i would help you out here for sure but we are talking about nic... i dont wanna tell u something and then you have to go to the hospital ( just in case).. so you might wanna try it out on your own .. i like to use the e juicemeup calc.

just type the specifications of the juice you bought.. and just add in the nic part... and see how much you gotta add..

to me this isnt gonna be right though.. because what if the vendor adds water or alcohol how the hell would you know...?

best bet is to call the vendor you bought the juice from and see if you could switch it up.

I have been playing with the e-juice calculator and if you plug in amount made, target nic level, and base nic level it works out that I would have to add 18 drops of 100mg of nic to get my level of 6. The only question is how much will that effect my flavor. I guess I could try it and if muted too much just keep it for backup. Thanks for all the help.

18 drops with a 14 gauge needle tip and ice cold nic?

18 drops with a turkey baster with warm nic?

It is proper DIY etiquette to tell the needle gauge when giving a recipe or measurement. Preferably, whether or not the nic is VG or PG, and if it has been refrigerated or kept in a freezer too.

My GF is pregnant and vapes 6mg nic/mL juice. She bought 30mL strawberry lemonade and it tastes awesome. Problem for me is; it has NO throat hit and wouldn't satisfy me if I vaped the whole bottle. So I took around 5mL and put it in a small bottle and added 1mL 60mg/mL nic.
That made it 16mg/mL juice.

My point is, the flavor wasn't dulled down too much and it still tastes great.

Calculators have drops per ml but keep in mind the calculator you are using is calculating 20 drops per ml for everything,the base, water, flavorings and pg/vg. Each will have a different viscosity and may not all be = to 20 drops per ml. This can make a difference in replicating a juice as well as your nic level. i would never trust drops when using 100 mg per ml. nic. especially in a small batch. It is always safest to be as accurate as possible. JMHO...................

This particular calculator will let you input the drops your bottle takes to make 1 ml. All you have to do is count how many drops it takes to fill to 1 ml mark on your syringe and input that.
That particular field is able to be changed. That's one of the reasons I recommend this calculator. (Besides the ease of use)

Something about that made me wonder "how many licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"
