Hi, I have a question:
I got a Mint Hi juice and I found that the nicotine is too high for me.
I am wondering if I can dilute with water.
If not, how can I make it lighter?
Anyone knows?

try and get a hold of some pg or glycerol birdmix, glycerol should be easy enough to find. you wont find pg on its own easily but it will be the main ingredient in some food flavourings.
You mean the skin protectant glycerin? I have one that I got from parmacy, this looks very sticky...
Is it okay to mix?
Depends what type you have and what ingredients are in it.
You can water it down some, and it wont lower the amount of smoke a lot, some, but not alot.
Vegetable glycerine is nice and sweet. You can get food grade that can be taken internally, not all can be, most are external only. I dont know exactly the difference, but i like to use food grade, since its going inside.
I found this locally at a Hobarts health food store, but this will show what i mean.
NOW VITAMINS - GLYCERINE VEGETABLE 16 FL OZ
Propylene Glycol is made from regular oil and not veggy oil, but it comes in food grade as well, it is just harder to find. Ebay has some from time to time, and you can find some on the net, but i dont have a distributor bookmarked.
As long as you keep the water to 10% or less you should be fine. you will have to remember to shake the juice each time, it may seperate some. Add a little of one of those, if its not right, add more

Thank you, this is an important information for me as well.
How about alcohol? I read about adding some, but what percentage is safe for the atomizer? And, as it normally contains 60% water, it is probably not possible to add water AND alcohol, is it?

purified water will be less harmful to the atomizer. The minerals in tap water will leave a crud behind. Look for reverse osmosis, deionized water in a jug (r.o.d.i).
robw is correct,
Try to use water that is as pure as possible, so it will not leave deposits of minerals, like calcium behind. If you go somewhere like the VitamineShoppe, they may have some, but a health food store is the best place to look.
The amounts you are useing is so small, it wont really make a Big deal, your atomizer will wear out before you get much in the way of deposits. If you use well water, or it comes out brown, well then you may have a problem
Alcohol is ok too, but in small amounts. I would recommend clear, like vodka, or Everclear. NO LIQUORS or funky flavors, it will gum up the works totally.
The higher the proof the better. I would recommend 180proof or better. 151 should work fine too.
Limit the amount you mix in for 2 reasons,
One - Like water, over doing it will thin it Way out, PG and VG are oils, and alcohol breaks up oils. Water will mix, because VG and PG bond to water. It is used as a skin moisturizer.
Two - Alcohol will over heat the atomizer if used in large doses. It burns faster/hotter at a lower temp then the juice.
10-20% would be ok, like water. If you use water AND alcohol, remember its not 20% one and 20% the other, thats to much
As always, Shake your mix well before Useing

interesting combination there might almost be like drinkin a nice drink with a good smoke all combined together
I'm having the same problem--it's hard to find low nicotine juice (or carts). I have some food grade glycerin from organic-creations. Used this in making soap and skin products. Is this the same stuff that will make vapor, and that will allow me to dilute the nicotine amount? anyone know?
thanks,
Jae

Jae, I'm sure you will be fine using food-grade glycerine. If it is safe to put in foods (think it gets used in things like wedding cake icing) it is as pure as it needs to be for vapouriser use. I've found the downside is it is the glycerine is thicker than most juices so added a little vodka to get the consistency back to about where it should be.
I find it quite fun mixing things up to suit myself, hope you will too.
