I got some no nicotine liquid that I love and some nicotine. Is there anything special I need to do to add nicotine to the liquid? Can I just add needed amount, shake, let it sit few days and it be good?

Well, pretty much! But nicotine comes in many different strengths, so be sure to use a juice calculator such as ejuicemeup to make sure you don't accientally add too much. Also, be aware that adding anything will dilute the flavor a little.

Also depends a lot on the brand of NIC being added, (some are peppery and some are clean).
(Unless you know you have some clean tasting NIC)
Easy to wreck a nice juice with bad NIC so try it with a small amount first if you can.

It goes without saying but hasn't been said yet that adding anything to your zero nic liquid will reduce the intensity of the flavor.

For that reason, using 100mg nic will reduce it the least. It's worth repeating, use a calculator as AmandaD recommended! :)

My nicotine I have is supposed to be 999mg/ml. It was sent to me by a liquid manufacturer. The company the liquid is from stated they will nic it for me to whatever strength I want. Might go that route.

Yeah, don't use that nicotine until you learn to cut it down. Don't get it on you. Don't sniff it. If'n you don't know, 999mg/ml can kill.

I won't even pick up the bottle without wearing rubber gloves. Did accidentally get a few drops in Palm of hand one time. Didn't think much about it. Got sick, weak feeling, cold sweats, etc for almost a day. I am kinda scared of it lol

They sent this to you, at a guess, so you could review it?? And it's not cut?

I'd cut it down to 10% (100mg/ml) as soon as possible after opening a new bottle.
That way it is at a "safe to handle" level from that point on.

That is basically pure nicotine. Be really careful. With it being 999 mg. every 1 ml you add to 1000 ml of juice is going to basically raise, the 1000 ml by 1 mg. What mg do you vape? How much VG do you have on hand?

LOL. Cut it. 90ml pg and/or vg base with 10ml nic for a 100mg/ml base. Or 50ml pg and/or vg with 50ml nic for a 500mg/ml base.

That was why I was curious how much VG he had on hand to get it diluted. How much 999 mg does he have I wonder? He may only have 1 ml or less, if it is a sample

Sent it so I could add it to any liquids I get that don't have any nicotine

I vape 3-6 and currently have no VG

I have 10ml of the nicotine. I may end up just selling it. Also have 10ml of ultra concentrated cooling agents (menthol) Godfather Vapes offered to add nicotine to the liquid free of charge.

From my understanding 0.20ml of my nic 10ml of liquid makes a 7 nic liquid, remember guys, I don't DIY, and I can take a pic of the nicotine and post it if need be. Wonder how much I could get for the 10ml

Wait...you don't DIY, and somebody sent you pure nic so you could add it to zero nic liquids - without even giving you instructions/warnings??

It's 10ml. Either buy some pg/vg and dilute it or toss it. (At the very least buy a bottle of VG from Walmart and add 90mls to your 10mls - making it 100mg/ml). I wouldn't sell something that potent to anybody.

Incidentally, it's also my understanding that nitrile gloves aren't nearly strong enough to handle pure nic and that the nic can permeate them (I don't know what they do use, but something much tougher).

That's not correct if its 999 mg/ml. .07 ml will bring a 10 ml bottle to 7 mg. Post us a pic of the label on the NIC.

P.S- someone check my math - pure nic is 1000mg/ml, right?
Thanks for the wally world glycerin reminder. I will go grab a bottle tomorrow. And no I never DIY, tried it while back but only combining 2-5 liquids to make new flavors though.

At least once you get it to 100mg/ml it's not such a hazard. Be warned - dilute it over the sink (easy access to water) with the windows open. Make absolutely sure no small children or pets are anywhere around you!

Ducky, I'm not even going to guess. 999 mg/ml should have warnings on that bottle. Do not use it until you can figure out exactly, what it mg/ml it is. You may have to call the vendor to find out what they shipped. The bottles I normally see are clearly marked mg/ml.

It has this warning on it, just as I type it


1. 100% pure concentrated solution & not intended for direct use
2. Should be properly diluted with other E Liquid Properties
3. Avoid contact with skin & eyes, wear laboratory neccessities
4. Keep away from pets, children and unaware adults
5. Store in dark room with normal temperature
6. Mix with HIGH caution and adequate care

I'm fixing to order a couple and freeze them. They are getting close to taxing nicotine here.

You have enough nicotine to turn 2000 mls of juice into 5mg. LOL I know it's not 7 mg just easy math for using it all.

I would thin it down to 100 mg, to make it easier to use. 90 mls of vg added to that will do just that. There is 6 oz or 180 ml in the bottle at Walmart for 3.88.

I'm in Bama. Did you catch the post on adding 100 ml of VG to it, to turn it into 100, it's actually exactly 90 ml of vg and that bottle. I was doing it in my head and didn't take off for the 10 ml in the nic bottle.

It's in the first aid/health section right next to the feet stuff. It's marked Vegetable Glycerin it's the only one they sell.

There are a lot of DIY people here. My favorite clones are Grants Custard, Betty, Pop Deez, and Muffin Man. It works out to like $2 to make a 100 ml bottle, and I'm cheap.

You'll dilute your zero nic juices too much if you do that. I'd just dilute to 100mg/ml (and shake very well after mixing), and then you don't have to add too much to your existing juice. For instance, I vape 3mg/ml, so I just add 0.9ml to 29mls of my flavoring/pg/vg mix.

Look for a Unicorn Milk recipe that has good reviews. It is a great strawberry cream. If you can't find it, let me know and Ill send you the recipe.

He's gonna add 90 ml vg to make 100 mls of 100 mg. We were just using it as an example of diluting.
