E-liquid "flavor shot" question?

[esloan]

I am kind of new to the whole electronic cigarette and vaping world. I have spent countless hours researching anything and everything I can over the last month. I have a question:

I have seen sites offer flavor shots to their customizable e-liquid. If the e-liquid you customized is "Jo Shmos' vanilla", 24mg nic and 50/50 pg/vg.-If they add 1/2(double shot) of the original amount of flavoring or even 1/4 (single shot) wouldn't that lower the nic strength? Since the nic strength is based on the ratios?

It depends if they make it the hard way, calculating the correct amounts of PG, PG, nicotine (which could be in PG or VG), flavoring (which is probably in PG) to end up with the nic you want OR if they are just throwing in extra flavor. No way to tell.

I just went and looked at the site again and this is exactly what they have as the description of their "flavor shots";
"A single flavor shot is the addition of 1/4 of the initial flavoring added. A double shot is the addition of 1/2 of the initial flavoring added."
So to me, it kinda sounds as though they are throwing in extra flavor, but I could be wrong, which does happen from time to time.lol.. but if that is the case, would that then lower the nic content?
I should probably just shoot them an email and see if they will answer it for me..lol

I wouldn't worry about it. You won't have a nic fit. It may make a 5 percent difference or about a 1mg diff in the nic per ml. Take an extra drag occasionally.
