no wonder I'm always dripping wet, I keep jumping in the deep end. You all know how i screwed up my order from FRUSA and then ordered %100 nicotine
to put in the three bottles of 0% nic juice that will be here in a couple of days. Well, I've been reading a lot on the DIY forum and don't see anything about adding pure nicotine to the juice, and it's highly dangerous!
And Davelog PM'd me with a strong suggestion that i get rid of the nicotine and not use it. It's too late to cancel the order
(dang, FSUSA is fast)
What do I do with it and how do I dispose of it?

oh, wait...I just read the order..it's " 1X Pure Nicotine Liguid 10 ml 100% pg/0%vg
0%vg

I am also just starting out with the diy. For me personally I am going to be ordering my nic juice already mixed into the VG. As for your nic juice and disposing of it, I am not much help. I had tried diy when I first started vaping and it was not good and I ended up throwing everything out. This time I plan on stalking e cig forums and I won't be afraid to ask for help. Good luck with your DIY I am sure you will be making great juice very soon.:):vapor:

That 100% is saying that it's 100%PG (instead of a mixture of PG/VG. See what level of nicotine it is, or what % nicotine it says. It'll be somewhere between 36 and 6mg/ml. It should be safe to use. Tell us more: did you order flavored juices with 0 nicotine and were thinking you'd just add your own nicotine?

If you didn't "choose" the nicotine level you wanted to order, I think the default is 6mg/ml....which is very low. Tell us more.

EDIT: Did you pay $4.00 for it? $6.00?

OMG!! And you got that from FSUSA? My Goodness! Davelog is right....that stuff's downright dangerous. Really. How much did you get? Just 10ml? If you just have 10ml, then you can (CAREFULLY) dilute it down very easily by just adding pure (no nic) PG or VG to it. You'll need bigger bottles to re-mix it in. It won't be that hard with such a small amount...all is NOT lost.

ALSO.....if it's just a 10ml bottle of 100% nic, you can use it pretty easily if you're just going to add it to juice that's already pre-mixed at 0 nic level. I do that all the time. Depending on how much nic you're shooting for, you will simply add a few (very few) drops of 100% nic into each of your bottles of flavored (but no nic) juice. Just do the math...it'll be easy. For example: If you have a 10ml bottle of flavored (but no nic) juice that you want to be 10 mg/ml nic, then you would just add 20 drops of the 100% nic to the 10ml bottle of flavored juice. (approx. 20 drops = 1ml.) For a 10ml bottle of any flavored (but non-nicotine) juice, approx. 2 drops of 100% nic = 1mg/ml of nic. If you were shooting for 5 mg/ml of nic, for example, you would only add 10 drops; for 8mg/ml of nicotine, you would add 16 drops of 100% nic juice. Not that hard when you're working with really small amounts. It gets a little more complicated when you're trying to cut 500ml of 100% nic down to useable quanties.... :)

mmmm, just a thing to take into consideration:

Pure Nicotine is 1000 mg/ ml = 100% Nic. This is poison at it´s best. One drop on the skin can kill.

Most nicotine sold is 100mg/ml = 10% Nic. Not good to vape, but not as dangerous.

If you vape 24mg/ml, you are vaping 2.4% Nic.

Really check the bottle when it comes and use latex gloves. Most likely, it will be 100 mg/ml and you can put 4 times the amount of pg (or vg) to dilute it to 25 mg/ml and vape it.

I just came from FSUSA site, read my order, looked on the page for the nic...I'm sorry i'm so confusing..
my order: MLS 10/$10.00 100%pg
DIY, page 2

LOL..so I only have a bottle of 10% Nic....that's a LOT better than living dangerously! I gave that up years ago:nun:

OK, guys....on Page 2 of their DIY stuff, FSUSA has "Pure Nicotine" and it IS 100%. Oldbroad, I hope you just got 10ml of that stuff. It'll be fairly easy to deal with....especially if you're just going to be adding a little nicotine to pre-mixed flavored 0 nic juices. Never fear. You won't need to dilute it to use it, but you sure need to be careful with it....and for sure keep it out of reach of pets or anything else. :) We can help you use it....if you got only a small amount of it (10ml???) then it'll be fine....and it'll be handy to have around.

Yep....just read your last post. That's it. Don't worry. Read my post above that talks about adding DROPS to your pre-mixed, flavored liquids when you get them. It will be fine. 2 drops of that stuff in a 10ml of pre-flavored liquid will equal 1mg/ml of nicotine. Just use that formula: 2 drops = 1ml then increase it up to the level you want to vape. If you vape at 12mg/ml of nic (I do) then you would add 24 drops of that nic juice to 10ml of flavored juice.

yes, Okie, just 10ml..whew! The reason I ordered it was cuz i messed up the previous order for 3 different flavored juices, but forgot to put in the nic %, so they have no nic.

It is not pure nicotine, they try to sell it as if it is, but as previously stated, pure nicotine is 1000mg per mililiter. They sell 100mg/ml here, so it´s 10% nic. Nothing to be afraid of, just have to be safe when working with it.

ok karen i see now, its listed as pure nic but its actually 100 mg/ml.
oldbroad this is safe to use just use caution and rubber gloves.
if adding to no nic juice it would be about 3.5 ml of nic for a 10 mil bottle to get 35 ml nic in your juice
