How do I add nic to a no nic tester?

[rkayw]

I have a 3ml btl of flavored 70pg/30vg no-nic juice that I made a few weeks ago. Silly me didn't record what I used to make it (though I could probably re-create it if I really wanted to). I know I know...don't say it. lol. Take notes!!

I like it, but it's not one that I want to try to make more of atm.

I would like to add pg nic to it now.

Is this possible after the fact?? and how do I do it?

I have both 60mg pg nic and 36mg pg nic. I normally vape 18mg but lower is perfectly fine.

I would be more likely to vape it up with nic, and not waste it. TIA

I use 100mg, to make 24mg I would add 2.4ml per 10ml of pre-mixed flavored juice. The flavor will be diluted a bit, but I don't find that to be a problem personally, as I tend to make my flavors stronger for that reason.

There are calculators available. What I get from the one I just downloaded is 3ml of 60mg, then 7ml of your juice will make it 18.

You should download the spreadsheet and work the figures yourself, just to be sure.

If the 3ml bottle is full, you can add 1 mil of 60mg nic to get 15 mg/ml. If the 3ml bottle isn't full, then measure the contents and divide by 3. Add that much 60mg nic for 15 mg/ml. So if you have 2.4 ml of no nic you would add .8 of the 60mg nic. (2.4/3= .8)

Thank you

Do I need to add more vg though?

My nic is pg, and my flavored 3ml btl is 70pg/30vg. I dont want it to be too much pg, or too thin to drip good.

If you add VG, it will further dilute the flavor. I don't know how much you should add to keep the 70/30, but in adding 3ml PG to the 7ml of your mix, you'll end up with 79/21 pg/vg, if my math isn't faulty...since my high school tended to teach how to chop trees and how to smoke stuff that ECF censors, I may be off ;-)

Side note: I sucked at both...so I became a computer geek.

Adding VG to this mix will reduce the nic levels.

Futher calcs show that by making a 9ml batch you'd do the following:

2.7ml 60mg nic.
6.3ml flavored juice.

This gives you juice that has 4.41 (.7*6.3) ml of pg + 2.7ml nic'd PG, and 1.89 (.3*6.3) ml VG. This again is roughly 79/21 pg/vg (by percent). Adding the 1ml VG will give you 2.89ml of VG to 7.11ml PG, or close to 70/30.

Sorry, had to work this out the hard way, my math is slow and unintuitive.

To get this to somewhere near the 70/30 pg/vg ratio, add 1ml VG. The numbers I get are around 71/29 pg/vg.

Also, if your flavors are PG based and you haven't taken them into account, you will have higher PG. I have a recipe that has so much flavoring in it, that my preferred 80/20 is a pipe dream. Next time I make it I will use plain VG instead of my pre mixed 80/20 base, to try to get it to have more clouds...and hope it'll still flow thru my tank attys.

KISS...

add 1ml of 60mg nic = 15mg. You will see a decrease in flavour but it is better than tossing it. PG/VG ratio is kind of insignificant for the sake of simplicity.

I agree. I just realized that he only had 3ml (silly me) anyhow, all this time I thought he had more.

KISS absolutely works for me. lol.

Thanks everyone. Got it done.

Glad to be of help. We tend to over complicate things when there is absolutely no need for it.
