Air is an oxidining element when combined with Nicotine.
If you are concerned about nic oxidation, you could always add the Nicotine after you steep. It usually takes a few hours for it to blend into a steeped juice.

I am looking for some mixing syringes. PG on one side and VG of the other for a 50/50 mix right into the bottle !

If you ever get vg to go into that. It would be a miracle if science.. Or the VG would need to be heated to at least 95°...
I had the large 50ml syringe, even with the tip cut off to be as large as possible it was a serious struggle to get any vg sucked up. But then again it was winter so the VG was thick probably 65°
To much air will oxidize the NIC to quickly and cause a harshness. So I would follow the standard practice of steeping and not intentionally try to introduce air into the mix. An electronic stir plate (Magnetic mixer) does not really introduce air into the mix it just stirs. That in combination with heat is a pretty good steep method. I see people using frothers to steep and have to think to myself "'not a great idea to blow air through a mix" but to each his own.
From what I've read Hangsen uses VG as a carrier. Alcohol based flavorings obviously use alcohol. It's just a carrier of the flavor and not part of the flavor. Allowing the alcohol to dissipate/evaporate leaves the flavoring behind in your mix.
Ok I just tried RY1,RY4,BD and USA all done at 2%. WOW wayyyyyyyy too strong for me. I will half them all except the USA I do not like maple in a baccy at all so that 1 is a done flavoring for me.Will report back after trying them lower.
Ok tried them using 1% lol will give them a bit longer as I reused the coils from the stronger ones and it may take a bit to get to the lower amount.
I believe that any *true* tobacco lover will be pleased with these HS flavorings. I guess I am not a true tobacco lover.
I will lower them to 0.5% and try again.
Ok I give up I still like this thread but um er HS baccys are too um er strong for me.

Don't be afraid to go low!!!
Many vape em at 7+% I stay around 3-3.5 typically..
I just mixed an Arabic at .5% and I must say its really good!
Just keep going down till you like them.. As long as the flavor isn't bad to you just really strong. You may settle even lower than .5%
Just keep diluting it with base, don't remake a new batch.. At least that's how I do it, that way you have the juice presteeped.
