my fall from grace. help

[bssage]

I had made it over a year without a analog. I also had successfully changed my nic strength from 24 to 16 or 18.

In the last month I began to have a smoke when out with friends. This started with a battery mix up. Long story short, I got up to a pack a day. I made a order with 24 nic and that seems to do the trick. But I either need to unload a lot of my lower nic level juice and order new. Or somehow bump it up. What do I need to do to make my 16 to 18 nic bottles into 24's??

Thanks in advance

I don't think you can increase the strength without losing some flavor unless you get a higher nic juice of the same flavor and mix them together. You could just order the strength you want for now and hope you will be able to drop back to the older juices soon. Good luck!

If you don't mind working with 100 mg/ml nic, adding 1 ml of 100 per 10 ml of 16 mg liquid gets you 11 ml of 24 mg (23.6+, actually).

For your 18 mg liquid, add 1 ml of 100 to each 13 ml of 18 mg, and you will have 14 ml of 24 mg.

The above are pretty small dilutions, should have minimal impact on the flavor.

It can also be done with a 60 mg/ml nic base. Add 2 ml to every 9 ml of 16 mg to get 11 ml of 24 mg. add 1 ml of 60 mg to every 6 ml of 18 mg to get 7 ml of 24 mg. These might be a bit more noticeable, slightly weaken the flavor.

Shake the bottles after adding the nic base, to mix them.

If you aren't comfortable with this, put them up for swap/trade in pif or classifieds, or store in a cool dark place until you have worked your way back down in nic.

The cost of juice is tiny compared to the cost of your long-term health. Put the juice up for sale, for 1/2-3/4 of its 'new' value, and put that money towards the cost of some higher nicotine liquid. While I'm sure adjusting the strength is safe when done so responsibly... I would be nervous about a mistake, or hesitant at being diligent enough to do so with each liquid. Its far easier to lump what I expect will be a relatively small cost in just getting new liquid. I saw a liter of menthol for sale on here, at 24mg, which for me would result in a daily vaping cost of $0.12. lolz I couldn't go back to cigarettes now, after just 5 weeks. I'm fairly certain I'd throw up... just the idea makes me wrench. Good luck getting back on the horse. You deserve 0 tar.

If you add a higher level unflavored nic juice and it doesn't seem like enough flavor, pick up some flavorings. This way you can experiment with your juice.

Get some 36mg and add it to the lower mg stuff.

hmm. all different answers. Made me think of another question. Will the nick base make a difference. I.E. if adding to BWB does it need to be BWB nic (VS,Cov,VR, ect...). Or is all nic created equal?

I agree with the addition of a small amount of 100 mg unflavored. If you want to use nic that strong. Use gloves and syringes. Do not use drops. You cannot say how many drops are in 1 mL, as it depends on the viscosity of the liquid itself, and an error could make the juice much higher in nic than you think. But this is certainly how I would do it, and the flavor change will be minimal. RTSVapes has a 50% off sale right now, and the prices and the nic are very good indeed.

Why not just set it back in a cool dark place and save it for when your ready for it???? It ain't gonna spoil in less than a year or so.
