nicotine mg in analogs compared to e-cigs/screwed myself rant.

[eeeorr]

According to a couple of web sites, the analogs I smoke have .5 mg of nicotine. Of course they claim a scientific test. I don't know. I shoulda looked before I ordered a buttload of 24 mg carts from V4L.
I got a big bottle of VG from Wal-Mart, used the spin (centrifugal) method to empty out about a half a rubber cap of the carts, and used the fill a cart halfway and push it in slowly method to add plain VG.
Two hours of that crap and all I've got is a sticky mess. Every one wets my lips the first few times, then I'm back to the coughing head buzz again.
So I have decided to toss the 22 tobacco flavored carts I tried taming down. On top of that, I ordered about 50 bucks worth of no-tobacco flavors, again in 24 mg, and was going to return them in the unopened express mail envelope and swap out for 8 mg exact same order. Too freaking bad they don't accept returns on carts. I'm not surprised, I can see the safety concern.
So, I guess I am going back to analogs for another month since I will be away from home for 12 days starting Friday morning. Not enough time to get an order here since the damn post office took 4 days with the last one.

you can always post here and see if any one wants to trade for 11 or 8mg nic juice Classifieds and swaps

Sorry to hear about the error, you might find some people on here willing to swap with you or straight buy them in the for sale forum. I have no idea how much my analogs contained(smoked a pack of Newports a day) I started out on 11-14mg juices, I plan to go down to 6-8mg when I start ordering more juice again.

I wasn't sure how much my analogs contained, either. I tried starting with 8mg when I ordered my kit from GreenSmokes. That was a mistake on multiple levels. I was still having nic fits in addition to not being satisfied with the product. Now I have a 510 PT and an eGo, and I'm trying out 18mg and 24mg juices. I have a tendency to chain vape when I'm at home, so it might be better for me to just go with both. I'll use the 24 when I'm at work and can't vape so much and 18 when I'm at home in front of the computer.

Were you trying to mix the VG with the rest of the juice that remained in the cart after the spin?
I could see how that would be hard to mix properly inside the cart.
You could try spinning a handful of the carts (of all the same flavor) until they're as empty as you can get them.
Then, add the VG to the collected juice, mix and refill the (nearly) empty carts.
Even if you get fewer carts in the end, it would be better than another month of analogs, or tossing them.
I don't see why that wouldn't work. It would be the same as just cutting pre-made juice.
You might also want to add a touch of water or PGA (or Bacardi 151) to thin things down a bit and make it easier to work with.
