E-Juice: Way too Harsh; what to do??

[abandonhope16]

Got my first supply of e-juice the other day, which I was very excited for. I ordered low and it turns out I got high. I was a light smoker in terms of quantity and type. This stuff has way too harsh of a throat hit for me. I assume that the harsh throat hit is due to the amount of Nic and not necessarily the type of juice.
Is there a simple solution for toning down the throat hit?

Thanks. I really appreciate the help!!

I would buy the same flavor in 0mg, and cut it.. Then you can make it as strong or weak as you like

Cuda333 has got it right! I did the same thing with my 24mg juices.I cut them with the same flavor and now i can vape more often without such a "stinging" throat hit.

I cut mine 50 / 50 with glycerin. Twice the juice for a fraction of the price. Loads of vapor.

Yeah, thats what I figured I would have to do. Unfortunately, the vendor I purchased from doesnt not carry 0. Not sure if I got the "tobacco" flavor from another vendor, if they would be different and create a weird taste. But I assume the tobacco flavors are close enough.

Thats just the stuff you get from Walgreens?

My Walgreens don't have it. I get mine from CVS, and I noticed yesterday that WalMart has it also.

Whats the full name/description? Just in case I go this route; I want to make sure I get the right stuff. What do you do? One part e-juice; one part glycerin?

Hey there. Sucks to hear that your order got messed up. If you contact the supplier they will probably send you another bottle of juice free of charge. When they do that order the lowest nic content possible. If that is still too strong cut it with glycirine.

If it was the suppliers fault and they do not replace the juice or offer a refund. make sure you bring it to the attention of other users on the forum. That being said most companies are aware of the power these forums hold and are more than likely to be extreemly apologetic and will replace promptly.

Tell me how it goes.

Yes. I'm actually working on that now. And I have to say, thus far it is an extremely positive experience and this vendor is really top notch.

Both CVS and WalMart have it in the skin care section. They both have their own brands. Will say "Pure Glycerin USP". If you find it anywhere else, make sure it says USP.

you can get vegetable glycerin at any health food store in big bottles cheap

IMHO, I would go with the highest nic. Since they're all the same price, you can cut it way down to your liking, and have a lot more. I get 2 extra bottles from 36mg. If you wanted less, you might get 4 or 5 bottles. Sure saves a lot on $$.

Doesn't this take flavor away?

It cuts the flavor slightly, but Glycerin has a sweet taste to it, so it mixes pretty well with the "Frutty" flavors.

So glycerin is not the same as PG?

And are we sure it is safe to consume glycerin?

I noticed earlier, someone had a bunch of new and sealed 0 nicotine liquid for sale. Look in the classified/swap section. Looked pretty cheap.

as safe as anything else................u can grab some glycerine and add some distilled water (to thin it) then use this method

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...cco-flavoring-nicotine-extraction-method.html I don't believe you'll get much nic

replacing the propylene glycol with glycerine
