Hi everybody..

Ive been trying to read through through the diy threads, trying my best to asorb all the info, but still not getting it? lol

heres my question..hoping some one can lead me in the right direction, provide me a link etc..

i have a choco flav ejuice that is 36 mgs..

im wanting to lower the mg's as my happy place is between 18mg-24mg..

how can i cut down the mg's? I mean, instead of 36 mgs, id like to make it 24? I fear i might get the jitters with 36 mgs, know what i mean?

can anyone point me in the right direction so i can learn how to do this? tia

purchase the same brand juice with 0mg nic and use 1/3 0mg nic and 2/3 36mg. This will give you approximately 23mg juice.

I you use straight glycerin from the drug store, the taste will be diluted.


the drug store is about a block from house, its walgreens..

do you know if they carry the glycerin on the shelf, or do i have to ask for it from the pharmacy?

Its on the shelf usually in 6oz bottles around 5 bucks.

You will need to add 1oz of water to the 6oz of glycerin.

Pour the liquid from one container to another for a while (until thoroughly mixed) because the straight glycerin is too thick. I just use tap water, but while at the store you can get distilled water.


thank u so much for your quick reply..

ill go this afternoon, pick everything up..

bright blessings

I see that you are using tap water, I learnt that one should not use tap water for mixing because of the fact that there is too much calcium in it....which is not good for your atomizer?????
I'm just asking, because I want to mix also, but here in Holland we cannot simply walk to the store to buy distilled water......so often I've been thinking of using tap water........:(

But anyway can one use tapped water??

What about boiling the water before you use it. Is that ok then??

That just kills them bugs, and makes the minerals more concentrated. Capturing the steam and allowing it to accumulated back into water IS distilled water. Free of bugs and minerals.

Boilinng tap water is not sufficent as was stated earlier. The calcium content noted to build up on attys is a component of the total disolved solids (TDS) in your supply. Distilled water should contain no more than 0-1ppm TDS.

My municipal water tests at 300-340ppm TDS which I run through a reverse osmosis system lowering it to below 15ppm TDS. I'll probably call that good enough.
