Diluting juice

[Jenpip]

Hi there, I've just ordered some juice at 18mg as I couldn't resist it (summer cocktail vape feast special one from Alchemists Cupbard) but want to dilute it to about 6-8mg. What's the best way to do this??!! TIA XXXX

Hmmm, the right way would be to mix it with a lower concentration version of the same juice. For example, mix it half and half in volume with the same juice at 6mg and you would get yourself a 12mg version of the juice with the flavor intact. Add pg/VG and you will get the nic to the right concentration but the flavor will be diluted.

For your situation, 15% of 18mg juice + 85% of 6mg juice would give you 8.1mg juice! Good luck!

Unfortunately, they've only got it at 18mg, so can't mix with the same juice at a lower concentration!

Mix 2/3 zero nicotine with 1/3 18mg to come to 6mg ...as has already been said though, you'll lose a lot of flavour unless you get a zero one with similar flavours.

I am not an expert but this is what I would do.............

If you say 20ml of 18mg nic juice..........if you added 40ml of vg or even 50/50 pg and vg at 0 nic (you can even use the vg you get at Walmart)...........you would have a 6mg nic juice.

The flavor would also be diluted but honestly, the juices I have done this to were quite enjoyable. And I had rather not waste if I have an option.

Here is a link to the calculator that helps me figure out my nic if I am combining. I hope this helps.

That's great, it's what I was thinking. Where's the best place to get pg/VG from, and what is best to use - a mix of both??

Just looked, and you can buy VG really cheaply from boots, online etc. it's says it's for skin care, but 100% pure! could I really use that?!

What was the pg/vg ratio of the juice you purchased? You probably want to stay as close to that as possible.

You will lose flavor, but I dilute ALL my vendor juice, always have, since when I DIY I don't make or like real strong flavors.

As a result I just got used to vaping lightly flavored juices, which now that I'm used to that, I save a lot of $$.

I believe you can actually. Read this it explains A LOT about DIY juice and stuff in general but in your case mentions buying VG and diluting it with distilled water or high quality vodka. Haven't tried it myself mind you.
