Increasing the Nicotine content in eliquid from 6mg to 12 mg

[nipurava]

Hi guys
i have done a rookie mistake and ordered 120ml of houseblend from coppercreek @ 6mg.
the flavour is very good but i tend to vape more that my 12mg eliquids
so came here to ask how can i increase the nicotine content from 6mg to 12mg?

If the eliquid is pretty strong flavor, can withstand some cutting, 1 part of 36 mg/ml unflavored nicotine base to 4 parts of your 6 mg/ml will result in 12 mg/ml.

It would take less cutting with higher strength nicotine base, depends on your comfort level. For instance, if you had access to 60 mg/ml, then 1 part 60 mg/ml to 8 parts 6 mg/ml results in 12 mg/ml.

Be careful with the higher strength nicotine base, keep it away from children and pets, clean any spills. Shake the bottle thoroughly to mix it.

You might want to wear nitrile or latex gloves; some people also wear eye goggles (not a bad thing). An oral syringe or small graduated beaker can make getting the amounts right easier. I use a small plastic tray for this kind of thing, makes cleanup easier.

thanks markfm for the quick reply

as i stay in India liq nic is not available here and the next best option is china i have found
30ml 50mg/ml no flavour eliquid from heaven-gifts
which one i need to get, pg or vg and in what ratio should i mix with 50mg/ml to yield 12mg
my eliquid is 20/80 pg/vg @6mg
what are the options i can use to preserve the flavor in it.
does mixing pg 50mg/ml preserve the flavor?

Buy 120 ml of the same juice at 18mg and mix. Sounds easier and will keep the flavor.

Save it for the evening, alot of people drop their nic levels before bedtime.

Buying the same eliQuid in 18, then mixing 1:1, would get you to 12. An excellent option.

Otherwise, with the 50 mg/ml unflavored, 1 part 50 mg to 7 parts 6 mg will get you 8 parts 11.5 mg, plenty close enough to 12 mg. Just make sure to shake it well, to mix it. The cut is fairly small, I would likely use the pg unflavored just because it is simpler to work with, to accurately measure and mix.

at what ratio i should mix 100mg/ml nic to 6mg juice to yield 12mg strength?

Here's a good calculator. Under "tools" is a nic combine section. I believe 1.8ml of the 100mg/ml for a 30ml bottle. Please doublecheck with others before trying this. And please practice to come up with the same numbers as others have told you.

You would need to mix 28.1ml of 6mg and 1.9ml of 100mg to make 30ml @ 11.95mg as per Nic Combine tool in eJuice Me Up.
Your flavoring would be a little weaker but not much being you are only adding a 1.9ml dilution.

The suggestion of buying the same juice in 18mg and mixing it 1:1 is the only plan that doesn't risk ruining the flavor.

that's true but i live in india and cannot get the same juice.
all of my friends visited india recently
so i need to wait for at least another 5 months
this is all because the USPS shipping prices are too high to india almost 40$

Best option, hands down! However, that is a **** ton of juice and just one flavor of it. I hope you REALLY love that flavor, and if you do, I hope that love affair lasts for 240 mL. YIKES! LOL

Uhh, if that's the case, you may have to learn to love it unless you follow r77s suggestion.

at what ratio i should mix 100mg/ml nic to 6mg juice to yield 12mg strength?

@mix 120 6 100 12

Botty: Add 8.2ml of the 100mg solution to the 6mg solution for 128.2ml of 12mg/ml.

It's also possible to do this sort of thing without weakening the flavour.
