Modifying my e-liquid without effecting taste (much)

[defiance00]

Hello, still pretty new to this, but i got lucky and found a liquid i like a lot. Started out with a 510 and really liked the tundra flavor from johnson creek only to find out artic menthol tastes better when i grabbed an ego-t.

Well now on to the real question, i very much like the taste of artic menthol but i'm finding that a higher nicotine content (probably around 30 to 36) would be better for me. I would also like to enhance the throat hit, from reading hear pg is good for this, and add a little bit more of a menthol flavor to it.

Now this bottle is 24mg, so, basically where is a good place to buy the items to enhance this slightly (only place i've found high concentration nicotine charges a great increase, but doesn't scale the price)? To clarify this i'm on a budget and 5ml of 108/mg nicotine has a 30 dollar increase on price as well as the 100+ml bottles, (same 30 dollar increase). Will an increase in pg help the throat hit?

Edit**- Also, if anyone has tried artic menthol and knows of a similiar liquid that's 30 to 36mg, that would work as well. I'm not very picky i just like the strong taste of artic menthol, but 18 and 24mg are not completely satisfying and i vape them almost constantly cause of this.

You might look up freedomsmokeusa they have all the DIY you need, up to 36mg. Crab you some 36mg no flavored nic in whatever pg/vg mix you like and mix till the TH is right. Get u your menthol flavor no nic and mix till it taste right to you. Be careful menthol goes a long way with a few drop start with 8.

ECblend sells unflavored nic liquid up to 36mg also. RTS is another for larger volumes.

I don't recommend modifying your juice that way. If you want hit, stop buying VG juices. Try the Halocigs menthols and other menthols. VG dulls flavor and hit. 100% VG dulls flavor and hit a lot.

My suggestion - buy a good menthol tobacco in high PG mix 24mg and blend it 50/50 with your JC stuff.

i believe i'm gonna try buying pure menthol at 48 mg from tastyvapors i believe it's called in 100 percent pg next time i order to mix with it as i cannot find a higher nicotine concentration, really worried about dilluting down the flavor which i really like.

Also considering buying unflavored liquid and ave's menthol drops, which i've read good things about, my budget is very low so that really depends on price, so i'm iffy about buying new liquids as the ones i've got i disliked.

When i switched from regular cigarettes to menthol ones i went to marlboro smoothes then 54s, newports being prob my favorite for pure strength but too expensive, which are minty and slightly sweet so i do not think a tobacco type flavor is what i'm looking for, it's mainly menthol intensity.

Wish i could find a cheaply priced pure pg unflavored nicotine at around 64mg to maybe as high as 80mg because i believe this would make the juice perfect for me with the drops.

Note: the artic menthol already does have a pretty good throat hit compared to even the pure menthol ice 36mg i received which i've been mixing with the tundra that i liked so much on my 510, but carmelizes without the mixture on the ego-t.

ecigexpress sells unflavored nic liquid in pg, vg, and blended up to 60mg. Also, .......... sells what they call "pure nicotine liquid," but that stuff looks a bit scary to me...

Rocky Mountain Vapors has a good menthol that's PG and fairly inexpensive. You will get a TH with that.

Halo is a very mild juice to me. Not a juice I'd get if I were looking for a lot of TH. Vapor Bomb has Artic Ice that's a good menthol. If you ask them they'll usually increase nicotine content for you.

Or get some menthol crystals and add them to your juice.

i found that i believe for like 25 dollars for a 20 ml bottle of the 60mg liquid, don't remember if it is the ecig site you name but it's the highest that one went, and i also found a 150mg 30ml bottle for 40, so really just debating which one would be the concentration best suited for adding enough pg for an increase in throat hit while not dilluting the liquid muchh. Really as of now i'm leaning towards the 150mg bottle as it's obviously much more cost efficient for the purpose i'll be using it for and just sacrificing an increase in the pg by much as it would only take a ml or two to increase the nicotine to where i want it(have yet to do the math on the exact amount yet).

Hopefully adding a drop or two of the pure menthol drops i've read about will not only enhance the taste, but the throat hit as well.

Btw, the 150mg/ml liquid is still only 15 percent nicotine and 85 percent pg, so pure nicotine liquid would really be dangerous if you weren't experienced in how dillution works (granted while inexperienced in this i do have a little background in chemistry). I'd say it might even be dangerous from a skin contact point of view.

Rocky Mountain seems to be out.

You can get a 5 ml bottle of Vapor Bomb Artic Ice to try for $3.95 and they have a 15% off sale.

Arctic Ice E Liquid

Include a note and see if they'll increase the nic level. I know they used to do this.

It's only cost effective if you like the juice. My attempts at DIY haven't been that great. And I do have a chemistry background as well. My cooking/backing skills aren't wonderful though so maybe that's why.

i do very much like the artic menthol juice, as it's still somewhat sweet and minty but doesn't carmelize on the ego-t like the tundra i liked so much on my 510, from johnson's creek though they are expensive i believe, so cheaper would always be nice. For some reason though i'm much pickier about my vapor then i ever was my cigarettes!

From the math i did with the 150 mg liquid i'd only need to add 1ml to increase the nic to 28 in a 30ml bottle. 2ml for 32 etc. so i believe that will provide a nice increase in my TH with the pg and nic! Especially with the drop of ave menthol liquid i'm going to buy (which from what i've read is as strong as the crystals just easier to fool with, store, and such). The only other thing i'd want is a slightly smaller then 30ml bottle of the 150mg nicotine cause if i end up liking it at only 1ml increase i might be holding onto that bottle close to a year or even slightly more!

Hopefully this will be as i desire cause the flavor is very close to perfect to me! Btw, thank you for all the advice i will try that liquid on sell that you pointed out if there's no shipping and handling. I'm very strapped for cash and quite frugal lol.

**edit** completely disregard my previous statements, saw that this liquid is around half the price and that's more important to me then flavor lmao.
