Nic juice will be good for a long while, even longer in the freezer. The most it will probably do is turn a little yellow. The clearer the juice with no smell, or very slight smell, the 'cleaner' it is. Buy good quality. RTS has great nic juice at good prices.

I've never heard of nic juice going bad............

Is the juice really thick because VG is very thick? whereas PG is almost water like.As one poster stated you could add a couple of drops of PGA or vodka for more TH. I haven't heard of stale juice. Where did you buy the juice? With that kind of Voltage you should be getting a donkey kick TH.

Thanks for the quick response. I use the 70/30, 80/20 and 50/50 PG/VG. Used a lavatube and Provari at 4.7volts with a 510 2.4 and 2.2 atty.

From the responses, is it possible i got a Nic juice (36mg, PG based) that is expired? I am not getting any TH at all.

Thanks for the calc. just used a few simple calculations. For reference, for a 10 ml bottle i placed 9 ml of PG/VG (70-30) 14 drops of flavor and 6 drops of 36mg nic. (at 20 drops=1ml).

re mixing, i added them all together then shook the final product. I'll try your suggestion.
re donkey kick, i was expecting the same also. If i use a bought juice, i am getting the TH i need.

I think the Nicotine is too low. Try using the calculator and see what numbers you come up with. With your 6 drops of Nic= 3 mg which is quite low. What brand were you smoking and how many per day? Also how long have you been vaping?

I would have to know:
is your pg and vg separate or already mixed? if mixed what's the ratio?
what strength is your flavorless nic juice in it's raw form pre mixed?
What nic strength do you want to end up with?


@ Vapoor eyes - just checked the calculator, looks cool. Ill give it a whirl. Can you give me a sample mix that you do? say per 10ml?

..........A couple drops of PGA will throw massive TH. Too much is a throat irritant.

Completely disagree with the "PGA" adding throat hit. Those of us who have been doing this for quite a while have tried about every additive there is to increase "true", "good" throat hit. Additives to eliquid don't WORK. If they did, no one would buy higher voltage or VV models or higher nicotine eliquid.

All additives do is provide "throat irritation" which is a far cry from real throat hit. True throat hit mainly comes from two things: nicotine strength and warmer vapor (higher voltage/wattage models and lower resistence).
