Can I add nicotine to 0mg flavored liquids without effecting flavor?

[Robbert]

I get reactions from PG and I'm still finding mg strength.
3mg is too much and 1.5mg isn't a common strength.
Im thinking of getting 0mg in the flavors I like then add nicotine until I find mg strength that works.
Ill be using under 3mg so will adding nicotine in pg or VG work without destroying flavor?

I don't think with such a small amount it will affect the flavor much, if at all. You could get two bottles of your favorite flavor one 0mg. and one 3mg. and mix them. You could also do DIY juices if you like.

From what I understand nicotine is not meant to have a flavour, unless its old and then it becomes peppery.
If you use a higher pg based nicotine, there will be less flavour reduction as pg carries flavour which you probably already know, but at such a small amount of added nicotine, I can't see why the flavour would drastically change.
If you're worried you could buy flavour concentrate to supplement?

If you get reactions from PG...IF you plan on buying Nic base...I'd definitely buy Nic in 100% VG.

But, as far as 3mg being too much and 1.5mg being uncommon...Bonskibon's idea above, is right and a simpler way to always have 1.5mg eliquids you like. You buy two bottles of your favorite eliquid. One with 0mg and one with 3mg....and mix both bottles together to make 1.5mg eliquid.

Thanks for the tip.
I going to mix a 120ml bottle of 0mg with a 30ml of 6mg and that should make a 1.2mg if my math is correct.

Adding that minor amount of Nicotine to a bottle of e-Liquid will not dilute it much at all so the amount that flavor is diluted will be minimal. With how over flavored store bought stuff is I doubt you would actually taste the difference. It will also depend on the strength of the nicotine base you use to add the nicotine. At 100MG/ML Nicotine base that will not even be an ML you will need to add.

I just added almost 4ML of 48MG Nicotine to a 60ML bottle of a Fog Minions Bake Sale e-Liquid and in my opinion there is no difference in taste. Sure it is diluted if you are being critical but not enough to actually taste the difference and possible the Nicotine is bringing out the flavor even more.

Even if you only had 50mg/ml nic base you'd only need to add about 3ml to the 100ml of no nic mixture to get it to 1.5mg/ml.

Highly unlikely anyone would be able to notice any difference at all. Cheers.

So @Robbert how did you make out? Find you perfect level?

 

[Robbert]

I ended up making some DIY TriBeCa.
I can rule out pg,vg,nicotine and flavors used in TriBeCa.I vaped pure pg and vg.It wasn't pg like I thought.
I think it's low quality,poorly made liquids or too much flavoring used.

 

[SteveS45]

It might be that you are having a reaction to what is in the flavorings or like you said low quality ingredients! Good to hear you are back to enjoying vaping!

1.5mg isn't a common strength.

It should be.

 

[SteveS45]

I started making 1.5MG with my DIY but although I was able to vape and enjoy it they lacked that little kick and have changed all the recipes to bring them back up to 3MG now.
