If I add nic to an already steeped juice, does it need to steep again?
submitted over 8 years ago by lowberry

I have this juice I got from a vendor that is 0mg. I meant to get 6mg, so If I add my own nicotine, will It need to steep again? or do I shake it and im good to go?

Won't need to steep but I'd give it at least a day to homogenize

You mainly need to shake it extremely well so as to avoid "nic hot spots" in the mix.

I do this frequently with vendor juices that I need for my mtl tanks, I get them at 3mg but add some drops of 100mg nicotine to get them around 4 where I find the hit is fantastic but not as harsh as 6mg. If your nicotine is 18mg or lower you will be losing some flavour because you will be diluting the steeped juice, but you will be ready with a very good shake and a few hours of patience

I don't think you do need to steep it if the flavouring and PG/VG is already steeped, just a good long shake. be aware though that you are going to be diluting the flavouring so it will taste much weaker than it should anyway. you would be better off buying some of the same juice at 12mg and the same quantity and mixing them together to make 6mg.

If it's 72mg or higher it won't really effect the flavour.

Yea, I just spent a ton on DIY supplies, so was hoping to avoid purchasing from vendors for a while. Can I add some of my flavors to it possibly, to make up for the dilution? If I do, would it need to steep again? Thanks

You could try adding flavours but I honestly don't think it's worth it. Do you like the juice? Maybe just vape it at 0mg or get a 12mg to mix it with like I said. Maybe someone else can step in and give you good advice on how to make up the flavouring but I don't think it's a good idea personally.

I wouldn't bother most commercial juices are generally overly flavoured anyway, adding a couple of ml of nicotine wont affect the flavour much
