I ordered 3 shortfill juices (50ml in 60ml bottle). One of them unfortunately is a 80vg liquid, too thick for my usual MTL tank/coils. I used 50/50 10ml nic booster in it already. All my juices are now 60ml 3mg strenght.. will adding another 50/50 nic shot make it thinner and if so how much? Im hoping to get 60/40 out of the 80vg.

Hi and welcome,
A better option would be to add a 100% PG nic shot to the mix initially.

A 50ml bottle of 80/20 breaks down to 40ml of VG and 10ml of PG.
You added another 5ml of VG and 5ml of PG.
Now you have 45ml of VG and 15ml of PG. (75/25 VG/PG)

If you had added 10ml of PG nic shot, you would have 40ml of VG and 20ml of PG (70/30 VG/PG)

If that is still too thick, a few drops of distilled water may help to thin the juice a bit and encourage better wicking.

What device and topper/tank are you using?
What coil are you using/building and how many watts/volts are you using?

The thinnest option for a nic shot was 50 PG. We are coming close to a flavor ban in Estonia so there is not much to choose from since stock supplies seem to sell out quickly. I use a Cube mod with Tigon tank (1.6ohm coils 12watts). I could also just order some sub ohm coils for that juice, but I prefer the MTL ones better.

Sorry to hear the tobacco companies and your government are doing that to you.
In a pinch, a bit of vodka can be substituted for the distilled water to thin the juice down.
As the weather continues to warm up, you may find the thicker juices flow a bit better.

When adding distilled water or vodka, add by drops.

In a 60ml, I might start at 10-15 drops.
Shake it, let the bubbles dissipate and give it a try.

You can always add more salt to the soup. You can never remove too much.

The Tigon should handle the 70%VG, but may be prone to dry hits if you are chain vaping.
Again, with the summer coming you may notice the "thick" juice works just fine.
