Increasing nic strength in liquid I have

[gr82cu2]

I hope someone can confirm my thoughts and calculations for me I have some 12 mg. liquid that I really like the flavor of but I'm just not getting that satisfied feeling from it. Unfortunately, I was very new (still am, ha!) to vaping and bought 180 ml of it before I realized the problem is likely not enough nicotine. Sooooo, I've been doing some research to see if I can just add more nicotine liquid to it myself to boost it up notch. Here's what I came up with to figure out how much to add. I just need confirmation that I'm right and not about to poison myself, lol.

Currently have/example... 30 ml of 12 mg. juice.......30 ml x 12 mg nic = 360 mg nic total in bottle
Want to have .................30 ml of 18 mg. juice.......30 ml x 18 mg nic = 540 mg nic total in bottle

So, I need to add 180 mg. nic total to a 30 ml bottle. I can buy 100 mg/ml no flavor nic liquid for mixing locally. By my calculations I would want to add 1.8 ml of this 100 mg/ml nic to a 30 ml bottle of 12 mg juice and would end up with 18 mg.

All this is making my head spin By my calculations, I would be adding 6% (by volume) liquid to what I have. Would this be enough to really cut the flavor or not? Its a pretty menthol(y) menthol. I don't want to ruin the flavor of what I have but I think I just got too zealous and thinking I could quit smoking AND cut my nicotine at the same time.

Thanks for taking the time to help me

Your math is correct, You would add 1.8mL of 100mg/mL unflavored nic to 28.2mL of your 12mg juice to make 30mL of 18mg/mL liquid. As far as flavoring changing, a 6% dilution shouldnt be very much, It might have a little less flavor, but you'll most likely not notice it after a few minutes. Standard disclaimers apply... If you're going to be messing with high-octane nicotine, wear disposable exam gloves, and work over an area that can be wiped down, and washed.. I like to mix on a paper plate, that way I can just throw it away when I'm done. 100mg is potent stuff, and needs to be respected.

Good luck, and if you're not careful, you might find you like mixing, and become a DIY'er..
