I've been looking for a calculator to boost nic in some pre made juice. The ones I'm looking at are online calcs because I'm on an iPad and haven't found an app for it. Anyway, I've got some 24mg juice (Torque56) I'm wanting to boost to 36mg and 48mg and see if enough of the flavor remains. I figured 100mg juice would dilute the flavor the least so figured I'd try with that. Haven't seen a calc that would tell me how much to add to get 10ml of 36mg and 10ml of 48mg final product. Can somebody point me to a calc that will do these kind of mixes or give me the proper formula to figure this out? Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Yes, it is high. But two things have me considering this. The eRoll and the Njoy King. The King has 45mg juice in it, it's a disposable almost the exact size, weight and feel of a real analog. The high nic juice in it gives the feel of an analog, a few quick hits to get your nic fix and then a long wait until needed again. Sadly they are expensive ($8) and don't last long enough. If they were a little better in those two areas I'd probably switch to them almost exclusively. Enter the eRoll, a mini with eGo C atty and tank, and a nice PCC that lasts all day. Very nice vape for such a small convenient package. The only thing missing is that quick nic hit that's long lasting. I want to vape on this like an analog, take it out of the pack, hit it for a while and leave it alone for quite a while. Others are using these kits with high nic juice and getting these results. Most are DIYing their own high octane juice. Ive got nothing against DIYing, just not something I really want to get into at the moment. I've tried to get some of the vendors that I use to make me some high nic juice in the flavors I vape, but no luck. I figured trying to boost it myself is the next logical step. Also I've been dragging my feet on stocking up on some nic base in case unfavorable regulations are passed. This is a good way for me to kill two birds with one stone. If it works great for me, if not ill stash the nic. If the nic isn't needed I'll find it a good home. I'm really just tired of having my mod in my hands almost constantly. While trying out the Njoy King it sure was nice to have my hands free for an hour+ at a time. Didn't realize how much I missed it.
Wow, didn't mean to be so long winded, but I do realize it looks like a crazy idea on the surface. Just wanted to say there is a rhyme to my reason.

Wow, please be careful. There is an app for Iphone called ejuice that I believe works on an Ipad. It has a tool for adding two different strength liquids. The E juice Me Up download for PC also has the same tool.

Thanks, I had AppStore set to show only ipad apps. I'll be careful, if I even do it. Might just go to local shop and have them mix a batch for me and see if the flavor is still strong enough. I'll be ordering some base though, before the mad rush on it starts. Hope to never need it though.

I'll start with 36mg and see how it does. The strange thing is, Halo sells their Fusion unflavored juice upto 36mg but they won't go above 24mg on any of the others. I tried to get a flavor boost so I could add without diluting but it was a no-go also. I don't hold it against them, but I had to ask just to be sure.

Well went to the shop after work, mixed 5.5ml of 24mg Torque with 1.5ml of 100mg RTS nic. I've got 7ml of 40mg juice. Filled a tank on my eRoll and gave it a try. Didn't seem to mute the flavor much at all. Only took 4-5 hits and could tell that was enough. It was over a half hour ago and I still feel a bit antsy, and no need for nic. I think this is gonna be great for work, might lower it to around 36mg though. Not sure how its going to be at home, surfing the interwebs or watching TV. Sitting here relaxing, I've got the urge to vape but don't want any more nic, didn't expect that. Thought I was getting tired of vaping but I guess that's only when I'm actually doing something. I guess the act of vaping is as much a habit as the act of smoking. Think when my 18mg juices get low I'll go to 12mg for when I'm at home.

There might very well be a reason for this...

I've heard that anything over 36mg is really pushing it in terms of safety. Please, please reconsider.x

I don't think so. Intellicig sells 45 mg/ml flavored eliquid. There may be more. An analog is supposed to have about 9 mg nic. If you smoked 20 per day, that would be 180 mg nic. Now, if you vaped 3 ml of eliquid per day, it would have to be 60mg/ml to equal the nic in one pack of cigs, and that does not take into consideration the amount absorbed, which is greater in the real cig, if I read correctly. Concern may come from handling the strong eliquid.

Where are you getting that info? From my reading the numbers on a real-cig are much lower than that

Gonna give this setup a real test today. I've got hands on training today at work for 10-12 hours, vaping opportunities will be very limited. The perfect circumstances to see if it does how I'm hoping. It worked great this morning for first vape of the day, really cleared the fog quickly. Almost don't need any coffee. I'll post how it went when I get home tonight.

I read that in one of Elaine's posts in the FDA thread. I'll check it again to make sure I didn't misread. What do you think that number is?
Well, I just read Rolygate's thread on this subject and it seems no comparison between the effects of nic in a cig and the nic in eliquid can be made with any degree of accuracy.

Test went great yesterday. Made it through the day with much more limited and spaced out vapes then I'm used to. The high nic got me through and no feelings of being over nic-ed. When I got home I vaped my normal 18mg, no trouble getting to sleep and no psychedelic dreams. Used it today too without the constraints I had yesterday. I did notice that although I can wait longer before the urge for nicotine hits, it's seems to come on stronger when it does hit. I hadn't counted on that, specially after only two days. Gonna have to keep an eye on that side of things and maybe rethink my whole plan. Might be best to vape like normal and save the high octane for times when I'll be limited.

Hi all,
I have in front of me a bottle of intellicig juice labelled 4.5%. I have been vaping this stuff for a year now with pretty heavy daily use and I have to say I have never had any rush or dizziness. I understand that 4.5% should be 45mg but I honestly think something is wrong here because intellicig champion the idea of smoking cessation !?
am i missing something here? Or is this stuff actually strong? Its really hard to get juice elsewhere that claims 45mg.
