Ejuice Crisis.....so don't laugh! :p

[Jovey]

Hello fellow Vapers, Been having issues for a week now with my internet provider...so they're working on it, i just pray i can get this typed and posted before my wifi does another burp and i'm bumped offline until it sneezes and comes back on! lol

Here's my dilemma.....I'm new to the vaping world and this past Friday, i purchased an Innokin iTaste MVP 2.0 and LOVE it! I also purchased an additional (glass) tank by Aspire for my cinnamon red hot juice. Well, since i was a heavy smoker...i went with the 24mg strength of the red hots and also Uncle Junks Jon Wayne (which i love so much i want to bathe in it) HA

However, now i'm stuck with almost an entire bottle of red hots and it's definitely too strong. I did go back to vape shop and bought a bottle of Jon Wayne at 12mg and tried mixing the two and that worked. BUT....now that my ejuice supply is dwindling at a rapid speed (yeah, i'm a chain vaper), i still have almost an entire bottle of the cinnamon red hots and can't afford to go buy any more juice until pay day.

So here's my question. I read this morning on another site that you can choose to add ACV (Apple cider vinegar) to some juices and it actually makes the flavor "pop"....guessing that means it brings it out more. I was thinking about adding a few drops to my cinnamon ejuice, but i don't know if that alone will lower the nicotine strength down to a 18mg.

I've also read that it's possible to add some distilled water, which i have that on hand also. But i have no clue as to how much and would i need to steep the ejuice that was already premixed if i was to add either one....the ACV or DW?

Guess this will be one of those learning experiences that i'll look back one day and laugh....but as for now, i'm just desperate to weaken what i have left in the red hots flavor to a weaker nicotine level so i can vape it and NOT get those dreaded headaches.

Any advice from someone that has added either ACV or DW? If so, how much should i add? Half and half....or just a few drops? Which i hope half and half because that will not only give me more ejuice to vape on, but in my non mathmatical mind, it would reduce the nicotine level.

Hope you're not laughing and shaking your head at this newbie....but hey, if ACV or DW can be used....i'm game for giving it a whirl!

Thanks so much and any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

No. I would instead recommend you get a bottle of VG at the drugstore and use that instead. (Usually labeled Glycerine USP).

Look for it in the skin-care section.

You won't be able to add enough ACV to dilute it much without making it totally unvapeable; same goes for DW (although not as bad).

You can mix that at 50/50 (although it will mute the flavors a bit).

I had a similar situation with cinnamon. I went back to the store and bought a bottle of green apple and mixed the two, it's one of my favorites now. 24 cinnamon + 12 Apple = 18 mix (24+12 = 36 , divided by 2 = 18 using equal measurements)

I Don't know the answer, but you made my mouth water with the thought of Cinnamon red hot candies about to hit stores with Valentine's day coming out which is my favorite candy. They make e-juices with this flavour? I MUST HAVE THIS! lol

Welcome to ECF by the way

Ok, that's what i kinda thought about the ACV and DW....oh well, at least i know and i won't risk ruining what i do have left by trying to be thrifty! Thanks so much for your help...MUCH appreciated!

MoonSparkle, yep....the vape shop i go too makes their own ejuices, along with selling brand names as well....but it's Cinnamon Red Hots and i've also seen it on several eliquid sites. I'm sure if you google it, you could find a good deal on it....it IS so yummy!!!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

cutting it with straight vg will severely mute the flavour. maybe see if you can get a few bottles of the cinnamon in 0 mg and use that to cut the nic strength down. it will keep the same flavour as long as you are mixing it as a one to one ratio. ex. one bottle 0 mg to the one bottle 24 mg if my maths is right should cut down to 18mg...math could be wrong tho so ill double check.

Except that she can't buy more juice until next payday! Hopefully the "Red Hots" flavor will be strong enough to stand up to the dilution (and the VG). And the VG is pretty cheap. In any case, try out a small batch first!!!!

(And (1 bottle of 24) + (1 bottle of 0) gives 12mg, not 18!)

thanks i thought my math was off. i did not see she could not buy more juice and in that case then yes cut with VG in a small batch first. lol i need to learn to read better and get a calculator.

18 is 3/4 of 24, so you'd want to dilute what you have down to 3/4 strength. 3 parts liquid to 1 part "other." Recommended "other" is VG from the pharmacy. Make sure it says "Glycerine, USP" on the label, with no variation. It can say anything else in addition to this, but (from what I understand, anyway) it's not USP certified if it doesn't say exactly "Glycerine, USP" on it somewhere. Something labeled "100% Kosher USP Vegetable Glycerin" could be anything (it could even be 100% pure USP Vegetable Glycerin, but since it's not certified, then you never know), but "100% Kosher Vegetable Glycerine, USP" is A-OK.

Hey ya'll....yep...after spending over $100 on my MVP 2 and then my ejuices, cartomizers, atomizers etc...(you get the picture), that kinda left me pinching pennies til next pay period. So i thought PG or VG would work....but PG is very hard to find here, so VG it is. Plus, the Cinnamon red hots has quite a bite to it, so even if the VG weakens the flavor, that may be a huge plus!

Going to copy and paste the suggestions on how to dilute it...hopefully i can learn to make my own ejuice on down the road, but for now...i really need to learn how to do these simple dilutions for times like now.

So a huge thank you to all of you for your input and help.....i really do mean that cause i was in a pickle with this 24mg being unusable just due to the fact that i get major headaches after vaping it!

KUDOS to each of ya's!
