DIY Virgin

I'm starting with babysteps first.
I plan on ordering some unflavored ejuice base. It will be 70/30 (PG/VG) and 6mg nic (the level I vap). Gonna get like a 120ml bottle of this stuff. Question #1: All I have to do is pour this base in seperate bottles (like a 30ml) then add flavoring,right? Question#2: By adding the flavoring,will it lower the nicotine?

Yes it will lower the nicotine. How much depends on the percentage of flavor. I recommend the ejuicemeup calculator to figure your recipes out.

Yes, you're gonna lower your nic.
I can send you to the DIY section, but don't overload on info.
Just read the stickies first, then start on the hread to get your questions answered.

Applying non-juice methods I know cause I'm waiting to start my venture into the wonderful world of DIY juices.

It's always easier to dilute down than try to strengthen back up. If you don't mind a higher VG ratio start out with the next highest nic juice base. Walmart has VG in the first aid section for $3 for a 6oz/177ml bottle.

Compare the price of a 6mg to a 12mg nic juice and factor in the VG you'll use to cut it.... now sure how the price comparison would pan out (need prices in front of me) but should be able to get roughly twice the amount of finished juice out of a 12mg base if you cut it down to 6mg with the VG.

Rrrrrrrr. I must be stupid. I just dont understand it all. The ejuice calculater is even more confusing. I can only pray that the government doesnt shut down juice vendors online. If they do I'll have to go back to smoking. There are just WAY to many variables to figure out for someone whos math skills that dont go beyond division. I'll keep watching YouTube till I figure it all out. I really thought by getting premade base at my nic level was gonna be so simple. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for trying guys.

Breathe...
If you use your 6mg base. Put it in a bottle and add 3ml of flavoring (10%) it will only take it down to 5.4mg.
I doubt you'd notice the difference.

try it with a small amount and see. Ya never know, you might like it.

Ask at the pharmacy you usually go to if you can have a 5ml syringe without a needle on it. (If they ask, tell them it's to measure dog oral medication, you only have spoons)
Then use that to put the flavoring into the 30ml bottles.

Come back and let us know how it went for you.

Yeah, don't fret it. I mix target 15mg and add flavouring which prob takes it down to 14-12mg depending on the flavour. I find no difference except I get to vape more of the high flavor juices without getting a nic headache which is good IMO.
