I recently purchased some juice that is wayyy to strong..its my fault for doubling the flavor..usually juices arent strong enough for me but woah these guys definitely dont jip on the flavor haha

my question is..how would i go about diluting the flavor a little..id even be ok with cutting the nicotine in half..would i just dilute it with either unflavored PG or VG until satisfied or is there more to this? :confused:

I hope this is the right forum for this question. Thanks in advance to any and all help.

Personally I'm a VG lover, but if you go the VG way, there are many who say that VG mutes the flavor more than PG. So if its twice as strong as you'd really like, then maybe add 40% VG. If you're not adding anything else, you'll be fine. Maybe do a mix in a 10 ml bottle to test drive the ratios.

How to dilute it is determined by your delivery system. If you are dripping, then by all means use 100% VG. If you are are using a tank, then maybe use 50/50 mix of PG/VG.

I've been dabbling with diluting pre-made eliquids as well, mainly to get the PG/VG ratio I like or simply because I don't care for the strength of the flavor and diluting it definately helps. I suppose this is probably the start of my DIY adventure.

You can do as mentioned above, and simply add unflavored, no nic PG or VG to desired results. However, if you wish to keep your nic content intact, you can order unflavored PG, VG or a mix from wizard labs with the nic % you like, then simply dilute the liquid with it and you'll have a diluted version of your liquid with the same nic content. It works well for me so far.

As a side note, I'm considering this as a method to get more eliquid for my money, since you can get huge amounts of the aforementioned liquids from wizard labs (and presumeably other suppliers too I'm sure) for very cheap. I think mine came out to about a nickel a ml.

Maybe the company you buy ejuice from offers "double strength" or at least, "added flavor". Then you can really get more by adding your Wizard Labs nic juice. Great Idea!
