So I hit up my local vape shop to procure some supplies over in a state with a ban on the fun flavors vape juices. So I ended up being talked into buying unflavored nic salt (a little bottle that said 32ml but maybe a third of the way filled) and a .4 fl oz bottle of flavor. Apparently this is a common loophole around here I just never considered. The guy recommended to just dump the whole bottle, just shake, and done - so that’s what I did. Then I realized that was a whole lot of flavor to other contents- around 40% of the juice’s contents would be flavor additive. So I did some quick research and now I’m here.
Now I see standard around here is like 5-15% flavor, so how screwed am I? And should I even vape this?
It was Capella Silverline Fruit Rings flavor 13ml and a separate bottle with the vg/pg nic salt 35mg nicotine. The vape juice bottle itself says 30ml but it definitely had less, I’m thinking 17ml considering how perfectly the flavoring filled the bottle.

Using all 13ml of the flavor also means you've reduced your nic to < 20mg/ml
and I'm guessing they charged you quite a bit more than the flavor is worth, too https://www.bullcityflavors.com/fruit-circles-csl/
But lessons like that are priceless ;)
So yes. That's too much. It's also designed to be used with other flavors as part of a full recipe. It is not a one shot, it's a single flavor.
Thank you for the information 🙏
Unfortunate to make the mistake, but happy to learn and so thankful for your help.
It looks like you have 24.5mg of nicotine and 30% flavor. But if the bottle of flavor had less than 13ml it could mean your nicotine is higher than 24.5mg and that you have less flavor. If you have something that has measurements in ml you can see if it equals to 43ml, then you'd have a better idea on what percentage everything is.
What you could do is either buy some more nicotine and add to it to raise the nicotine mg and lower the percentage of flavor. The other option is adding VG or PG to lower the flavor percentage, but that also means lowering your nicotine level. You can use E-liquid recipes calculator to figure out how much you have of everything if you were to add more nicotine or PG/VG.
