Mixing ejuices.

[caponelight]

hello everyone,

So I finally went on and bought the nautilus Mini that most of you recommended on my previous post, I combined it with an old eGo battery and it is the best vape I have had this far, so first of all thanks for your help.
Now I have a few eliquids that contain 0mg of nicotine and others that contain 12mg of it, my question is how can I mix them without reducing the nicotine ?
Thanks and I know I should have paid attention to chemistry

Sorry, you can't. Unless you just mix the 12 mgs with other 12 mgs. But the moment you add 0 mg to 12 mg, you reduce the nicotine level. By how much will depend on the proportions you mix them in. The only way around that would be to also add nicotine base, but then things start getting complicated and you should probably use a juice calculator. Go over to the DIY section and check out the calculators they recommend if you want to go that route... Good luck!

Only way to do it without reducing the nicotine is to add nicotine to the mix - there is no other way.

Adding nicotine will change the flavor if you decide to go this route. A small bottle of 12mg nic (I think that's the lowest strength I have seen wholesale) can be had for about $6 from Wizard Labs

As for the calculation for your example, it's quite easy. Say you do a 50/50 mix of 12 and 0mg, the final result will be 6mg. If you do a 75% of the 12 and 25% of the 0mg, it'll be 9mg.

If you do decide to buy the nicotine, you'll probably be better off using an e-liquid calculator to make sure you get the right percentages as the calculation will be slightly more complicated.

EDIT - Catsitter posted while I was typing - but I am glad we said the exact same thing

the only other thing to do would be to get the same flavor or a coordinating/neutral flavor in 24 mg. Mix it 50/50 with your 0mg to make 12 mg juice. I find apple to be a great flavor to mix with many juices.

I see, so my question to both of you is what would be the best analogy ? like 1,5 ml of 12 mg juice and 0.5 ml of 0mg ? If it is not possible is there anything I can do with my 0mg liquids ?

 

[Debadoo]

Maybe I'm not sure what you're asking. the easiest thing to do with 0 mg juice, is to buy premade juice in 24 mg either the same flavor or a flavor that will blend well with what you have. If you mix the same amounts of 0 mg and 24mg, you will end up with 12 mg juice.

Honestly, if you are used to vaping 12mg, you probably won't even notice the difference - at least not to the point where it would affect much. I tend to vape lower strength e-liquid in the evening to help with the insomnia that over-nicing brings. Perhaps that would be an option for you.

I am not sure what equipment you are using, but if you have plans to ever go down the rebuildable route, you'll need to lower your nic strength, so if this is in your future, then it's another option for you. Save your 0mg to add to higher strengths when you are ready to drip.

Apart from that, adding them to other liquids you have, or buying some nicotine base are really the only options.

I do this a lot....my favorite vendor has only 50/50 or max VG....I love the max VG but there's very thick for tanks (protank 2's mainly) so I order 1 bottle 50/50 and 1 bottle max vg (same size) and mix...end up a very flavorful 25/75...love it!! Oh...all at 12 mg. I mix others too, usually flavors I am ehhh so so on with other suff...that's usually just on a whim...sometimes great sometimes no so great...live and learn right!! Cheers!
Happy mixing....

(% * nic) + (% * nic) = total nic of mix

 

[caponelight]

(% * nic) + (% * nic) = total nic of mix

Can you elaborate please, so if I want to make a 12mg liquid I should buy a 24mg ?

That's not right...

All parts equal, it should be a+b=c/2

I.E ..
6mg+18mg=24mg/2
=12mg

That only works if you are using equal parts of the juice you're mixing together.

So if I buy a 24mg ? 0+24=24=24/2=12 so that would make me all set ?
