Ok so I overestimated my nicotine intake and purchased 3 60ml bottles of 36 mg. Im fine with the taste but Im getting mild headaches and not so mild jitters.

Ive looked for non flavored 0 nic juice to mix and cut the strength but my searches have been unsuccessful. So rather than have my head pop off ( lol ) and decided to just ask the experts here.

can someone please point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance
 
Does wallyworld have PG? I know they have VG. ( that's where I get mine) If I remember right DIYflavorshack has PG, VG, & 50/50. I bet if you call Dawn and tell her what flavor you have she can set you straight.

I googled where to buy PG and it was top of the list.

Yes the doublers from tasty vapors are flavored. Did you not get flavored? What flavors did you get? The best way to cut it would be to add PG or VG. You should be able to find either at walmart. If you mix it 50/50 then you would cut the nic in 1/2. However, whatever flavor you have may get diluted. That is why it would be suggested to get a 0 nic of the same flavor to cut it with. You could try contacting the vendor you originally bought it from and see if you can get some either PG or VG from them with the same flavor or you could try the thread where they trade juices. I happen to like 24mg and depending on your flavors might be interested.

WEEELLL , I asked at mine and they gave me a blank stare, even the pharmacy.:facepalm:

Plus, I was thinking unless he just uses a little ( which may or may not help ) he is going to water down the flavor.
He'd have to cut it by half just to knock it down to 24mg, right?:)

edit -- yeah, what kaylee said.

You will have to go to the pharmacy to get the PG. A pint is about $11.00. The VG is on the shelf as Humco skin protectant.

Just don't start mixing up all of your liquid. Cut small quantities at a time until you find out what works for you. You may not be able to use PG at all, or VG. Don't mess up all of your liquid and then find out.

So, it's not an everyday request. They may even have to order it but even that is next day pick up.
No, Half of 36 is 18, not 24.

I plan to use this as a guide:

[FONT="] [U]If you start with 36 MG E-liquid[/U]
27 MG = 3 parts e-liquid + 1 part Doubler
24 MG = 2 parts e-liquid + 1 part Doubler
18 MG = 1 part e-liquid + 1 part Doubler
12 MG = 1 part e-liquid + 2 parts Doubler
9 MG = 1 part e-liquid + 3 parts Doubler
7.2 MG = 1 part e-liquid + 4 parts Doubler (mixing the whole bottles of each together)[/FONT][/COLOR]

Hopefully I can get it down to 24 or 18 and get rid of the jitters. If not I might be on edge for the next few months hehe.


I now have 3 bottle of 30ml 36mg juice:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:


next order Ill cut back to 24 or 18

If they have the "0" nic version of those flavors, you just buy the plain and with your formula break them down to lower nic without losing flavor. Kind of work out how much plain you'll need, hope you like the flavor!!
But plain PG or VG right now tonight will work for a few days till you get straightened out, flavor will be off a bit but still vape-able.
It's a lot cheaper to buy the higher nic and then dilute it.
Using the same flavors you dilute the nicotine, not the flavor. Be careful measuring.
Now you know what over-dose is!! Not fun. Just lay low for an hour or so till you feel better. ½life of nicotine in your system is about an hour.
