I added a few more drops of apple pie and custard to my mix this morning (before testing it, rookie mistake) then I gave into temptation and put it in my clearo. It's really strong! How am I best diluting it down without losing the nic content. If it helps my recipe is: 2.1ml VG 36mg/ml nic base 2ml VG 0.2ml PG TPA Apple Pie (15 drops total) Vanilla Custard (10 drops total) Cinnamon 3 drops. It's lovely just too strong, please help me save it

Why not just dilute it down a bit with some nic/pg/vg!

Collie - two steps. Step one... leave it alone for a week. Let it settle/steep/mature. Step two... try it again and if it's still too strong just add some PG or VG to it a bit at a time and re-sample. Don't rush into throwing other ingredients at it

I would start by adding 0.1 ml nic base & 0.1 ml PG/VG. this would retain your 18mg/ml, & dilute it by about-ish 5% flavour (Could get a calculator out, but that's where I'd start. - But remember I'm just a rookie as well )

What OneDay said Another option is to make another batch but with 1/2 the flavouring you originally used, then mix both batches. But only do this after steeping and seeing

You can't really do anything to it until it is steeped - apart from anything else the balance of tastes may change.
If you want to do something in the meantime you could make 5 ml of apple/cinnamon, and 5 ml of custard/cinnamon, maybe with 20 drops of flavour (+ the 3 cinnamon) to your 4.3 ml of nic/dilutant instead of 25 so you'll have something to blend next week. If you like the basic flavour they won't go to waste.
Also, you could try it with a lower voltage or a higher res head in your clearo if you have either of these things.

It is always useful to have some unflavoured mix in your preferred ratio/strength. If after steeping you think your original is still too strong, you can weaken it with the unflavoured without losing nic strength.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'm going to pop it back in the bottle and leave it to steep a bit longer. It made my throat hurt but tasted so good. Will definitely take the advice about a mix of nic/pg/VG juice to dilute down if I need to. It's just so strong!
