Need to know how to add some nicotine to 0 nic juices.

[Vapioteque]

I accidentally bought some great flavors at zero nicotine. Many taste very nice and I'd love to vape them like normal! I never once have DIY'd anything other than sometimes mixing up pre-made juices (like vanilla and blueberry, for example.)

Can someone please tell me how to get my 0 nic juices to 10-12mg nicotine (if I said mg wrong, you know what I meant, I think, the 6, 12, 18, 24, etc number you can set. I usually choose between 8 and 12.) I have a plastic syringe with measurements on it, I have the 0 nicotine juices (there are about 100ml of 0 nice juice all together - so you can see why I want to not waste them!). I do not own any 'pure nicotine' or even know how to find it. If you could link to a safe and reliable place that would be terrific and I'd be so grateful.

If this sounds too dangerous for a newbie to DIY like me, it's fine to come out and say it. I would rather be safe than sorry. If I wasted a bunch of money, I'll get over it eventually, hehe.

Can tou exchange them?

Probably not because the error was on my end, not theirs. I don't want to cost them money because I made a mistake!

So you don't have any nicotine, but you want to know how to make your juices have nicotine?? I am confused.

Let me take a crack at it anyway!!! If you want to purchase Nic from a specialty store, I would recomend Wizardlabs as they have the best reputation as far as I have seen. If this is the route you take, when you get the juice, look up on the forums on how much to add to your bottle to make the amount of nic you want - There are tons of threads on this (including one that I started myself). Is this recomended for a newbie DIY??? No.... nicotine is very toxic and can do serious damage if spilled/miss-used.

The other route you can take which is much easier but costly, is to purchase the same flavors that you already have WITH nicotine and mix them. For example:

You bought a 10ml bottle of "strawberry awesome flavor" with zero nic. Buy another bottle of "strawberry awesome flavor" with 24mg nic, mix them together, and now you have 20ml of "strawberry awesome flavor" with 12mg nic. (nic amount gets cut in half because you are doubling the volume without doubling the nic level).

Want 6mg? get the juice with 12mg and mix with the zero mg..... etc.

Hope this helps

You can add nic to it but you will dilute the flavor by adding it. 100mg/ml nic is as high as you need to get period. But if you are unsure in anyway about using that level of nic, don't. An ejuice calculator is necessary for you to do what you are trying to do. eJuice Me Up is a desktop app. Ecigvape has good ones online.

EXAMPLE:
Ingredient ml Drops Percent
(100mg) Nicotine E-Liquid 1.8 ml 36 drops 18 %
PG (Your Juice) 8.2 ml 164 drops 82 %
Total's 10 ml 200 drops 100 %
18 mg Nicotine per ml

That makes 10ml. This will get the least amount of of dilution because it is the highest strength nic you need to use. Do not handle this strength nic without using precautions. Read the ECF header and the stickies on the DIY Liquid page on safety and making juice.
Read Hoosiers blogs. Matter of fact if you haven't read them yet do that first.

This is a great suggestion and the safest approach. As you are very new to DYI I would not attempt straight NIC unless you know what your doing. The approach mentioned above could cost more then you wanted to initially spend and not give you the results you intended expecially if you intended to buy 18 or 24%. The other alternitive is to simply say Ops! I just waisted my money on the wrong thing and bite the bullet and simply place an order for the correct items.

Thank you everyone. Since I have never done DIY, I think that seagull had the safest suggestion. I'll buy my most favorites again at 24mg. All I need would be empty 30ml bottles (my faves are 10ml or so) and I'm sure cleaning my empty ones out would work great. You guys rock. Also I feel dumb for not thinking of this myself, but that's what these forums are for, helping each other!
