How Much Nic, If Any, Do You Think I'm Getting?

[4myhealth]

I tried my first e-cig on Sunday (low nic cherry cart). The nic level was too high and the vapor too low so I picked up some glycerine and have been adding drops to the original cart - probably about 10-12 drops total so far.

How much of the original nic do you think is still left in the cart or is it pretty much gone by now?

I wanted to mix a different flavor but a new low nic cart will have too much nic and I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to do to bring the nic down to a tolerable level .

Thanks for your help!

lets say for arguments sake low nic cart = 8mg per ml

1ml of 8mg eliquid + 1 ml of VG = 2ml of 4mg eliquid
1ml of 8mg eliquid + 2 ml of VG = 3ml of 2.7mg eliquid
1ml of 8mg eliquid + 3 ml of VG = 4ml of 2mg eliquid

a 901 cart holds approx 0.5 ml of eliquid
a classic cart holds approx 1ml of eliquid.

My empty 901 cart holds 10 drops of commercial liquid .
When topping up I initially vape about 3 drops and from then on I am only vaping what I top up with and not the other 6 - 7 drops they just sit there .

I think you are now only vaping the vg and if you are enjoying it and feeling satisfied .
Forget the nicotine you dont need it.

If however you are not satisfied.
I would suggest you buy low nic liquid and blend it with vg to suit your needs and stop using prefilled carts.

For your own monitoring you should find out the nic level of that low cart. Most lows are either 6mg or 11mg (almost twice as high!). That will help you make purchase and mixing decisions going forward.
