steeping then adding nic
submitted about 7 years ago by kuri_sanTouDiketones, Schmiketones

I ran out of nic. I think I know the answer to this question but, can I mix and steep for a week or two and add my nic when I get it? my nic salts are going to be 48ml/mg in 100% PG. On average I'm putting about 12% nic. I figure yes I can do it but a 7 day steep will probably turn into a 5 day steep with the fresh nic added in

I do all my juice like that

I mix medium large batches (6 flavors, .5-1 litre each) and let them steep for a few weeks. then pour them into 60mls and nic as I vape them.

I normally add the nic, and shake it really good. sure it oxidizes your nic a bit, but if you vape the bottle in a couple days it really shouldn't matter.

I steep my juices up to 4 months and there have been several times where bad nic spoiled all my 3 liter batch. Since then I've always add nic only when I'm ready to vape.

cool. I just might make this a standard for me. It's so hard to wait for a month's steep. I make several juices at a time to vape while the others steep

Spiking 0mg pre steeped juice with nic? That should be fine. There's countries where that's the way they do things. You may want to wait a day or do before using it, if a huge percentage of your final mix is nic source, but other than that it should be good to go.

Yeah they do it in the UK and call them shortfills because of the stupid tpb rules not allowing nicotine in higher volumes than 10ml.

They give you 50ml of 0nic juice in a 60ml bottle and a 10ml nic shot to add. Once combined by you you have 60ml of 3mg juice

Also in Germany, but some juices taste the same before and after and some alter the flavour profile over the next week. My Nasty Juicy Sour Ape Shortfill tasted like arse after adding the nic and is now really good after a week and the Pucker Series of Vapeshoreditch is the whole opposite.

So it may vary a bit for OP.

I figured as much. nic will be around 12% but at least for now I can get my steeping started
