Adding nicotine to 0 nic juices? Anyone done it?

[GabyKate]

So my brother, trying to be helpful (he's very proud that his little sister finally quit the death sticks lol) bought me a bunch of flavors. The only issue is they are 0nic. I don't want to waste them but I really prefer nicotine in my juice. I use 18mg usually.
On RTS Vapes i found 60ml of 100mg flavorless nicotine additive for just $12 so i'm sold.
My question is how much do I add to these 10ml bottles he got me? Should I just take a little of the flavored stuff in a separate bottle, like a 3ml bottle, and add a drop and try it out until it tastes right? Or are there measurements to do this? (I'm a newbie and really clueless with any DIY juices).
My one other question if whether I should git it in a PG or VG base. There's an option of which you want and i'm clueless as to what the difference even is and which to choose. Thanks so much if you have any experience with this.

You need to use a calculator fore juice to know how much to put in each bottle

I checked out all the calculators earlier when I was figuring it out but it seems to me like the calculators are for mixing flavor, base, and nic. Whereas I already have like 20 bottles of 10ml ejuice that i'm trying to just add some nic too. So i'm confused still on how to do it.

It's really just simple math. 2.1 ml of the 100 mg nic added to your 10 ml will get you pretty close to 18mg juice. Just be sure to wear rubber gloves when handling nic. no exceptions!!! Oh and be sure to order some 1ml and 3 ml syringes and a couple of 18 ga. blunt tip needles. Might as well snag some 15 ml bottles too!!

You're starting out at 0mg/ml, and you want to get to XXmg/ml.

You have 10 ml of liquid at 0 nic, and you will be adding 100mg/ml.

Adding one ml gives you a total of 11ml, and you've added 100mg.

100mg/11ml = 9.1 mg/ml.

If you add 2 ml, that gives you 12 ml total, and you've added a total of 200mg of nicotine.

200mg/12ml = 16.7mg/ml.

And so on and so forth. Use the total mg of nicotine added divided by the total volume you've created to get the final mg/ml number.

The "nic combine" tool in E juice me up is what you want to use. Enter your 0 mg liquid as nicotine #1 and what you are adding as nicotine #2. Then a little trial and error fiddling with numbers will show you the possibilities.

10 ml of 0mg + 2.2 ml of 100mg will get you 12.2 ml of 18.03mg, for example.

Of course your flavoring will be a little diluted by doing this. But that's not always a bad thing.

I just stumbled across an online calculator that appears to do the same thing.

My one other question if whether I should git it in a PG or VG base.

Most people will tell you that VG dulls both flavor and throat hit more than PG does.
But VG will definitely provide more vapor.

Most people prefer some mixture of both, but it is all personal preference.

If I were you, I would find out what base the stuff he gave you is and then get the opposite for your nicotine base.

Thanks for all the replies! I think this was just the excuse I needed to start learning how to DIY my juices.

I think you will enjoy making your own juice and this is a way to start. PLEASE read all you can regarding safe handling procedures. 100mg/ml nic is quite strong and it is a poison. Not that we don't like our nic, but we don't vape 100mg nic for a good reason. Your normal kitchen procedures are not sufficient for safe handling. If you have taken chemistry, you have a leg up on what you need to know. I strongly suggest that you devote a space to your mixing (even if only for each mixing episode), wear eye protection cause a drop of 100mg in the eye is not a fun thing, wear gloves every time you open the bottle of nic, wear a mask (to many this will be overkill but it is not unheard of to get some in your mouth in case of a spill) and it goes without saying: have enough time to do the mixing without interruption...and keep pets/kids out of the area.

I have no problem using 100mg nic and just ordered 500ml in a co-op. I have had lots of chemistry, I respect chemicals but I am not frightened of them This is an area where the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". If you order in larger quantities, it lasts in the freezer in glass bottles. I hope to have enough to face the possible regulations (I already have a bunch stored).

Now, relax, get prepared and you are off to a new, fun hobby that WILL save you money. You can mix all sorts of stuffs and there are websites devoted to recipes and suppliers flavor reviews. You can buy some roast beef, roast chicken, crab and even blue cheese flavoring...though why you would want to, I will never know! LOL

Hey brotha, I'm old to the mech mod / rda game but an absolute rookie to the juice making game. I've got a few guys I know here in SD that make some ok stuff but they're all hush hush like I'm gonna steal their recipe for baked beAns or some ..... Any suggestions on where to go to get the flavoring and nic? I've got the vg n pg handles obviously and I think I may know where to get the pre-blended nic as described above but any suggestions on flavoring would be much appreciated. Thx

thanks y'all for the posts, I've not done it yet either so I'll follow y'all's sage advice, but I'm gonna (we got given about 100ml of 0mg stuff at a B&M Vapor event party thing last night, I'm of the "why bother?" ilk with 0mg but if I liked the taste of it, take it and add some.

shy of a mail order thing, does Wallyworld or the ilk carry it?(nicotine)

Is your B&M store a mix-their-own place?? If so, they could nic you up. Short of that, go on and order your nic.
