Can I add nicotine base to a premade juice?

submitted over 2 years ago by _Lowkey__Loki_

So my boyfriend attempted the DIY thing last year... Long story short we have some supplies for mixing and such... But my question is regarding pre-made juices. For instance I have this premade juice that is 6mg nicotine... Can I add some of this nicotine base to increase the nicotine in my premade? I assume some dilution of flavor will occur... But aside from that, is it doable?

I'm trying to get it to 9mg and possibly 12mg nicotine.

The pre-made juice is a 60 mL bottle with 6mg nicotine.

And the nicotine base is 125ml, 12mg nicotine, and Max VG.

Thank you! 😊

A 60ml bottle that is made to 6mg will have 3.6mls of 100mg/ml nicotine in it or similar.

To get to 9mg you will need to add 1.8ml of 100mg/ml nicotine in to it.

To get to 12mg from 6mg you will need to add 3.6ml of 100mg/ml

The dilution of flavour should not be effected greatly as it is only a small percentage. I would go with 9mg as that is quite strong anyway. Will depend on the device etc.

I would use ELR to calculate put your flavour base in there and calculate at 6mg as that is what your juice is. Then adapt the recipe using the ... at the top right. See what the difference is in the nic you want compared to what you have now. Then you can add the difference and maybe a little pg. But it should help with the calculations.

Also, try to use nicotine in a VG base as it won’t thin your juice. PG base nic will make it thinner and possibly leak past factory sub ohm coils.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the knowledge.

If you want 9mg, you'd have to do 50/50 of the pre-made juice and the nic.

Your nicotine base is too weak to do this without diluting the flavour hugely. It isn’t even possible to make 12mg with what you have.

I'm not too worried if would effect the Viscosity being too thick since it is Vg based if Def won't be too thin,but thicker..it will however Dilute the Flavor a bit n be a Lil more harsh if its Reg freebase nic
