Most juice vendor sell nic juices by the 6'th (6MG, 12MG, 18MG, etc...), I vape 6MG but am not getting much from it anymore and need to bump it up a bit and wanted to know if bumping up 6MG would be too much/strong wise? At first I was thinking to go up by 2MG but most vendors don't do 8, 10, etc.

Also kinda off subject but what is the best tool to use to clean the inside of a drip tip? I have noticed on most of my tips they are stained on the inside from various juices. If anyone can post a link to a tool I could buy I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Get 2 bottles of juice 1 6 and 1 12 and mix them in a bigger bottle and you have 9 mg.

That's what I do...and a little more of this or that for 8 or 10...have to find the sweet spot. I wish vendors would offer more options but ya can't have everything. BTW, I still have some 18mg and 24mg from my early days, so I also buy 0mg to dilute those down to 9mg. My calculator works overtime these days.

Preparing for the zombie apocalypse, I have a couple of big bottles of 36mg flavorless...so...9 parts 6mg + 1 part 36mg = 9mg.

You might notice going to 12mg/mL from 6mg/mL a bit. 6mg/mL difference isn't a big deal when you're talking about going from, oh, 24 to 18 (25% less), or 12 to 18 (50% more). In terms of percentages, 6 to 12 is getting stuff that's twice as strong.

Getting two bottles and mixing your preferred strength sounds like the "real" solution to the problem. You'll survive the jump to 12mg/mL juice, though. Worst case scenario is you notice it's strong and cut back, and that's not so bad.
