How do I use a nic booster to make 0mg juice into 6mg?

In future if I add a nicotine shot, should I always go for the 18mg/ml and not the 9mg/ml ??

Yes, The stronger the NicShot, the less it will dilute the flavour - Unless you're going for very low nic, but the answer to that would be to put in less of the 18mg...

yeah, the 9mg would just mean you'd need twice as much to get the nic level you wanted.

It's not really the way to do it though, you need to either add 18mg of the same flavoured liquid or have a liquid that's over flavoured and designed to have unflavoured nicotine added....otherwise as has been said you'll be diluting the flavours a lot.

Seems to me the TPD regs pretty much force you to buy 10ml bottles of complete juice. Adding nic shots to 0mg juice just dilutes the flavour. If you have a 18mg shot and you want to turn your 0 into a 9, you have to mix them in equal amounts so you end up with half the flavour. If you want more than 9mg you really can't use nic shots because you'll have no flavour left. The only realistic way to have large bottles of juice is to give up nicotine or make it yourself from scratch. Hopefully the manufacturers will cotton on and increase the flavour concentration of zero nic juice. It's not so bad for me as I DIY, but I do still occasionally buy zero nic premos and I still have plenty of 72mg nic in the freezer so to get a 3 I only need to dilute the flavour by a factor of 1/24th, but that's not going to last forever. I don't even know what the maximum strength nic you can buy is now; I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I totally see where you are coming from. This is the first time I have tried anything like this ... I just made up my first bottle so will put it in a dark cupboard for a few days and see what it tastes like.

I was given a 10 ml bottle of nic boost in 20ml/mg but couldnt work out how to turn that into 6mg. I will sit later and work out the maths on it.

I really love this forum as people don't treat you like an idiot when you come across something you just don't know or understand

Nic = 20mg/ml x 10ml = 200mg

Final juice 33ml x 6mg = 198mg

So..
10ml shot
23ml 0mg
