Hello, this is my first post.

I bought an e cig a few days ago from a local retailer in my town. I have never seen or heard of one before, the store let me try it out and I bought it right then and there (WAY overpaid judging by web pricing). Anyways, i absolutely ADORE this thing, it's the coolest thing I've experienced in a long time.
I believe it to be a kr808 type, it uses cartomisers. I have been reading and vaping this thing non stop for days since I got it.
However, it came with ZERO nic carts, and I believe if I had nic juice I will toss the ol smokes. So today I got a bottle of 24 mg tobbaco flavoured juice from another local store (again WAY WAY WAY overpaid but I was desperate to try and not wait for an internet order).
I proceed to refill a used cart, with about 10 drips (used only once) and vaped it. OMG it hit my throat like an INFERNO!!! it was like I was smoking a 1000 yr old dried out piece of dung!!! can i cut this juice with VG to mellow it out? man I hope that works cuz I love this vaping thing, but cant breath this cart at all!!! way too harsh.
I did get some VG today also and some LorAnne flavours but I've yet to locate mixing supplies and bottles etc.
Tomorrow if I locate pipettes and bottles etc I am going to try to cut this 24mg juice and play with flavours, wish me luck!!

Thanks all, talk to ya soon!!

I dont do DIY...But good news is...there is a whole sub-forum on DIY and once you get 5 posts..you will be able to post anywhere you like. I have the opposite problem. I have been vaping for just a touch over a year and I CRAVE TH. (TH=Throat Hit) I have 4 bottles of REALLY good and tasty juice in front of me...but....NO TH...grrrr

You can cut the juice you have. Put equal amounts in a bottle...that will give you 12mg and should help tame the TH. Good luck and welcome to THE BEST place to be for help, support and alot of fun !!

Welcome to ECF badguy. Good luck with your mix. It will cut the nic level down when you mix in the VG but will decrease the TH so it won't be so harsh. Not sure how fast you get things in Canada but sounds like you really should get your supplies online and sounds like you can get overnight shipping and it'll still be cheaper that the local rip off stores.

You can cut it with 100% vegetable glycerine. if you have Michael's Craft Stores up there, they sell Wiltons - should be near cake decorating stuff etc. if you have Walmart, the Humco brand USP Glycerin )near rubbing alcohol) should be ol - Humco says theirs is all vegetable.

If you bought 100% PG juice with 24mg, yes that is very harsh, and on top of that it's probably the Chinese juice and some of their flavors are not too good. Nicotine is a skin irritant. 100% PG lets through the most flavor, TH and irritation. I like 70pg/30vg. Some like juices with more of less VG.

well I went to Michaels and WalMart today to look for USP vg... I was only able to locate USP Glycerine... that was all that was printed on the label, it did not state what type of glycerine it was and I dont know enough about it to know if that was what I was after, so I am currently vaping the 99% food grade stuff I got from a local health store, seems fine to me so far, but I have nothing to compare it to as far as other VGs... also today I mixed up some no nic juice using the VG I got and some LorAnnes watermellon...WOW yummy!!! I put it in a cartomiser that had some HARSH straight tobbaco flavoured PG and it made the hit just about perfect, so I will experiment a little more...
