DIY-Removing alcohol from nic juice?

Status
Not open for further replies.
I recently ordered some nic juice (60mg nic in a vg base), and when I recieved it I discovered it also has alcohol in it :(. I don't even want to use it if I can't at least get rid of some of the alcohol...it burns my throat and overpowers the flavor. I ordered some ready-made ejuice samples from the same site...and they would make you fail a breathalyzer!

Can I leave it open (in a safe place) and let it evaporate...is there a better way....or is this just a complete waste of time?

Thanks in advance,
Justin

Adding alcohol does not increase the throat hit for me (unless the alcohol is in the form of rum or similar, and thus has flavors in addition).

Adding nicotine does, though. Plus, VG is mild compared to PG. So it bears asking, are you vaping this liquid straight by any chance?

It needs diluting by about 100% before it is usable (down to about 30mg or thereabouts). The strongest I ever heard anyone use is about 40mg, by someone who had a fierce addiction to nicotine and was a chain smoker, and this is highly unusual - and certainly not to be recommended. 60mg is supplied for dilution, not use as-is. At this strength it qualifies as a poison.

You don't discuss this, so it's a valid question.

Roly's question is certainly valid: you should be diluting 60 mg juice. That said, to address your question, no, unfortunately letting it sit will not get rid of the alcohol. The VG will bind it too well. Even heating it will not work. If the bottle is not opened, perhaps you can return it, or perhaps trade it with someone else here. I'm afraid the alcohol is there to stay. I'm with you on thinning with alcohol...don't like it's drying effect and as a vapor it goes right to the brain, although it takes about 10% for me to notice an effect, and many here do use it without an issue.
