Eliquid question???? Help a newbie out!

[GAZA]

My quick story. Wasn't a smoker however I chewed tobacco(still a nic addict). Both my first 2 orders from Canadian internet retailers were in my opinion a little lack in a nicotine level. Even after vaping continuously(switching 510 batteries every 30 mins), I would still have to grab for a chew to satisfy my body's craving? Both suppliers assured me that they had sent 24mg nic juice in their orders. Well, last weekend i was happy to be directed to another Canadian supplier that offers 36mg nicotine flavours. So I bought a few plus a couple 24mg cause I liked the sounds of the flavouring. Just received my order today and within 5 minutes of vaping a 36g nic flavour I was sick on the floor. Bad headrush. Nicotine overload. Later, switching to one of my 2 24mg bottles, I handled it a little better but Im actually thinking I might be more a 18mg vaper?? My question is can I dilute these already made bottles of ejuice to a level I will be able to handle? They are a 70/30 split and I have found on the net one of those ejuice calculators???

Yes you can dilute it using pretty much whatever you want. Just know that the flavour will be diluted too. You can use PG or VG or a mixture of both to bring it down the nic level you choose. And yes, the juice calculator will help you big time.

Yes but you have to dilute them with the same flavoured juice at a lower nic level , otherwise you will also be diluting the flavour.

Sure you can.... just remember that when you cut with either PG or VG you will also be lessening the flavour concentration.

What I normally do is order juices from vendors double the nic level I enjoy and that offer extra flavour shots. That way I can cut my juice in half (I order 50/50 PG/VG juices and further cut with VG, because I like it), and double my juice supply for minimal costs.

You'll have to decide if your juice flavour can handle cutting as much as you need to enjoy your nic level without making it undesirable to 'you' for taste.

EDIT: Damn... you guys are fast, lol... and I never thought to offer that suggestion to purchase some zero nic same flavours to delute.

Well GAZA,

Technically if you dilute the juice by adding PG/VG to the mix to lower nicotine content you will also dilute the flavor by extension. If you dont mind doing so you could just buy some PG and VG mix it to 70/30 and then calulate with the ejuice calculator how much you need to add to get to your desired nicotine level . The other option would be ordering same flavors in 0mg nic content from the supplier and mixing it to the level you want with your existing juices. With that solution you wont loose flavoring.

Hope it helps ya, and i was clear in my explaination, if not your welcomed to PM me or wait till other users chime in


EDIT: i was too slow apparently other ppl chimed in before i could finish typing lol

Thanks to all. Didnt think about the loss of flavour!!!! Like this ECF thing!!!!

I think you need concentrated flavourings to enhance the pre-made liquid you cut. HV may have what you need.
