Hi again everyone!

Just a quick question (this might also be a very silly question but here goes...)

My friend was using an e-liquid flavour that I really liked (spearmint) but they only have it available with either 0mg or 0.6mg nicotine (and up). I've found that other spearmint flavours don't taste like spearmint at all, rather menthol.

I'm now vaping at 0.3mg and have been for a few months as any higher and I can feel a little nauseous. Can I mix the 0.6mg and 0mg half/half to reach my usual 3mg nicotine?

If not, can anyone suggest to me a nice tasting spearmint flavour that is available at my required nicotine level...?

Thanks in advance for any responses! :)

Absolutely you can.

And the Beauty of it is if you Mix 6mg/ml with 0mg/ml of the Same flavor, there will be No Drop in the Taste.

You can take a 6mg/ml Flavored e-Liquid and the add an Equally Amount of either PG, VG, or PG|VG. You will end up with 1/2 of the mg/ml level (3mg/ml). But you will Also end up with 1/2 the Flavor Strength.

Always Better to Dilute with Flavored 0mg if you like where the Flavor Level is right now. But just want to Decrease the mg/ml.

Thanks for the responses to my silly question!!

Another unrelated question if anyone could answer it would be great...

I'm finding that my liquid is running down really really quickly... could this be a problem with my device? (One tank of liquid is only lasting me about 2 hours, when usually it could last me all day...)

Are you using a different atomizer or coil than you were before? Lower resistance coils tend to use more e liquid. Also, higher VG percentage in your liquid can mean more vapor production which may lead to using more liquid.

No - I'm using the same coil as I always have and also the same juice... I've had the device about a year now so many that's the issue?

This has been very helpful for me, as I have been wanting to mix a couple flavors I like together and making it not as strong.

Question off topic... sometimes my vaporizer will leak and other times it won't but nothing is done differently, any idea why?

Hi MissTPhoto.

What type of e-Cigarette/Atomizer do you have?

And where is it Leaking?

I have the Kangertech Subvod. And it seems to be leaking from I guess the top of the tank part, but I just don't get why sometimes it leaks and sometimes it doesn't when I don't do anything different.

I'm not very familiar with that Setup. But It might be that the Coil Head is not screwed down all the Way?

I would start a New Thread with a title something like "Need Help with Kanger SUBVOD".

I'm sure if you did that you would get some SUBVOD users who could give you Suggestion as to what is Going On.

Okay, so back to the topic of mixing juices...

I was thinking of mixing my one 6mg flavor (rock candy/cotton candy/menthol) with my 0mg flavor (watermelon) in order to hope for a result of 3mg together and the mix of flavors. I've heard it would cut down on the flavor altogether if not mixing same flavors...anybody know if this is true, and so if I should not do it? The mixed flavor one only has a light flavor to begin with..

I would Definitely try doing that Mix. It sounds like a Great Blend. I would just do a Small Batch first to see if you like it.

As long as you are Both e-liquids are Flavored, you Shouldn't see a huge drop in Flavor. But the Stronger Flavor of the 2 e-Liquids will be More dominate.

Where you see a Big Flavor Drop is when you take a Flavored e-Liquid and then cut the Nicotine Level in half by adding Pure VG, or Pure PG or a Pure VG/PG blend.

Now you have cut the Nicotine in Half. But you have Also cut the Flavor amount in Half also.

Do you think it would be enough to just put about half of the one kind and one half of the other kind of flavor and then just like shake and mix around the tank a while before vaping it, or do you have to do it in a separate container to make it actually mix well?

I think if you gave it a Good Shake, that it wouldn't be a problem to Mix it in a Atomizer Tank.
