Help pls, newbie here that needs Nic

[The Huntress]

Im new to vaping, just quit smoking 3 weeks ago but I fell in love with a couple of liquids from black Note. They are pricey, so when they went on clearance over the 4th, I went crazy and bought 14 bottles.....at 0 nicotine . I have come down from 12mg and now only use 3-6. I ordered some VG nicotine at 12mg thinking I would just add some to each tank. Wel, obviously I didn't think this through because I have no idea how many milligrams to add to 0 Nic juice to get 3-6mg and then I don't want the flavor to be ruined.
So you see, I feel I kinda fucked myself until I'm down to 0 Nic which might be sometime.
Any suggestions on how I can actually get some nicotine into my favorite juices without ruining the flavor.
The prebought eliquid is 50/50, if that matters. I really need some help.

You could buy the same flavor at 12mg, and mix half and half with your 0mg to get 6mg.

@PuffOn thank you for the reply. I cannot do this as it is Black Notes Adagio and they have discontinued this particular liquid due to the new regulations. They cut 3 out of their line, so when I saw it at 5$ a bottle, I bought it all.
I don't mind a small reduction in flavor but I don't want it to be watered down either.

you can use any juice calculator to figure this out
but for 3mg you need to make the juice total ml have 25% nicotine
so lets say you had 100mls of a 0mg juice
you want to add nicotine to make it 3mg nic now
well then you would put 25mls of nic plus 75mls of your juice
for 6 mg 50 mls of nic 50mls of juice
now you will totally change your pg vg this way
your 50/50 juice will be 75vg 25 pg at 6mg nic

But....I do really enjoy their Forte. So I could order that in 12mg and then mix all the bottles 50/50. I might have to that, they really are very good together. I could also do this with other flavors I enjoy. I will just buy those in 12 mg to mix with my 0mg Adagio.
I just wish there was a way I could add the Nic I needed without adding much more fluid. Thank you!

Ahhhh, a calculator that will do it for me. That is what I will use, thank you so much for the info.
Do you think this will change the flavor drastically?

 

[Mattp169]

it shouldn't change it much if any depends more on the nicotine

You could pick up a bottle of 100mg nic.
Then it would only require a small addition to raise your 0nic.
To get 3-6mg, it probably would not affect the flavor at all.

Really Slots! Three weeks in, and you suggest buying 100 mg Nic.

Let this person learn about vaping for a while, and get educated on the dangers of high Nic with knowing how to handle it.

I agree it would affect the taste of the juice less as well as the PG/VG. handling 12 mg nic or 100mg nic should be used with the same care and stored away from children etc all the same .the tools and procedures are the same and the research into mixing nicotine is the same. Im sure even a sample size if anyone had one would do. ... 14 bottles on clearance Im guessing are like 10ml, maybe 30mlsizes? hopefully lol how you going to have room to raise to even 3 mg without dumping some out into another bottle using 12 mg nic . in 10 mls to raise it to 3 mg you would need about 2.5 mls of juice. in 10 mls of juice that is going to throw the flavor off Im guessing and no room for it anyways.or 100mg is around 0.3 mls ... those are just close figures please dont add that without doing the math yourself but you see what I am getting at. .................. if you never plan on mixing again just get some more at 12mg and mix them 50/50 , by the time you buy the supplies and nicotine you could have probably just bought more of the juice lol

 

[wllmc]

but none of that matters anyways since the OP already bought 12mg VG nic anyways lol.

 

[gakudzu]

To get 6mg, mix half-and-half.
To get 3mg, mix 75% 0mg with 25% 12mg.

It will almost certainly reduce the flavor at these ratios. More so at a 50/50 than 75/25.

yup exactly and then all VG Nic so depending on the device and RDA/RTA might even be a clearomizer who knows but might not can handle 25% more VG either without getting dry hits or altering vaping style so it might leave it useless and tasteless. best option still seems to be to buy more of the vendor juice and mix them together.

 

[wllmc]

and then use the already bought Nic and learn DIY and forget about that vendor juice

 

[The Huntress]

Thank you all for you help and input. @wllmc, it is true I already bought 60ml at 12 and then I bought 60 mg at 18. So I'm going to read up on using nicotine safely and then try to use it. If it won't work then , I guess I will give it away and then order the 100mg stuff. And yes, they were 30mls bottles, not 10.
I really hate that I messsed up that bad because I truly enjoy this juice and now I think I'm going to have to buy a bottle of my next fav liquid they make at 12mg and split it.
That's what happens when I get in a hurry.
Thank you all for you input

@wllmc thank you for all of your suggestions. I was hoping it was an easy fix with the Nic I ordered but, man was I wrong.
But I am so grateful for this forum. I've searched all through it today for other answers too. Such as my first box mod, my next tank, and the safest batteries to buy and how to charge them. And now, help with my juice.
I have decided that for the black Note liquid I will order my next 2 fav that are very good mixed with the one I have and mix them 50/50.
Then I will read up on how to use the Nic bases I bought. I have only Vape Tobacco juices so I might choose a vender that offers their NETs in concentrated form them mix it with the pg/VG nicotine mixes I purchased.
Thank you all again

I would do what @wllmc suggested, get a small bottle of 100% nic and just add what you need to make what ratio you want, otherwise you'll be diluting the heck out of the juice adding the 12mg VG nic.

I think you mean 100mg nic, not 100% nic
