Reducing Nicotine Level in Blends I Already Have

[67Tele]

Hey All
Wasn't quite sure where to post this. Having recently gotten on the NET road and also starting rebuilding for dripping I quickly found that my 24 mg juice was way too much. Since I like to steep the NETs I have i've stockpiled some 30 ml bottles.

Is there a way to reduce the nicotine level in say, a 15 ml portion of these prefab juices without reducing the flavor? I'm trying to build between 1.4 - 2.0 ohms on a single coil Magma clone.

Many thanks!

The only way to do it right is to order the same juice at zero and mix 50/50 to get a 12, or at 6 to get 18, etc. Otherwise you will cut the flavor along with the nic.

Thanks Paul! Will do.

For some flavors I've found that I can mix a bottle of with the same amount of VG and get just the right vape on a dripper.

I mix like juices whenever my supplier is out of 6mg. 0mg and 12mg makes 6mg in equal proportions. 12mg and 24mg makes 18mg. 0 and 24 makes 12mg.

I was wondering that. If I got low level unflavored nic at the same PG/VG ratio how it would dilute the flavor. I get the feeling that Paul's recommendation is the way to be sure the flavor doesn't change and I'll get a few of the blends I like in lower nic but, I'll give other methos a try too since that may be less expensive.

Thanks Miata

And Dave, thanks for the ratios. I knew I'd have to do math at some point...hehe.

If you add unflavored, you will reduce the concentration of the existing flavor(s), but if you are switching to dripping, you may find that the lower concentration of flavor is OK, much the same as for the nicotine. Here is a very simple online calculator for combining juices that will calculate the resultant nic, PG, and VG concentrations. It does not solve for how much to add to get a specific result, so it is just trial and error, plug in the numbers and see what happens. Note that you could substitute flavoring for the nic, PG, or VG and find the change in the flavor concentration too.

Thanks Boletus! That'll help. Appreciate it.
