I am in Kuwait and not due to go home until the end of this month, I have some old juices 18mg that are about 12/14mths old, I have recently dropped to 11mg, and as I don't have enough of these left do I mix 50% 18mg with 50% 11mg, (they are all tobacco flavor) I have tried using the 18mg on it's own but it now gives me a terrible sore throat and a hacking cough, maybe they are out of date, or just too strong for me now, and sadly you can't buy vaping gear out here, any help would be greatly appreciated, as there is NO way I want to go back to smoking

ampsy - can you buy a bottle of VG from anywhere ? Whatever the Kuwait equivalent of Boots is. You could use that to dilute the 18mg stuff a bit maybe ?

Ask for Vegetable Glycerin(e) - if they stock it it should be in a 200ml bottle, ample to cut down your juices. Be aware though that you will be diluting the flavours too, by almost 50%. If you are able to get lower nic versions of your juices, then you can mix them together thus lowering the nicotine whilst keeping the percentage of flavour intact. HTH

Chykensa, I do have some 18mg and also 11mg, but not a lot of each, do I just mix them 50%/50%??? try the ejuicemeup calculator, it has a section for combining different strength juices so you can have a fiddle with that before you actually mix the juices together

Hi gunjack, where do I find the " ejuicemeup calculator" ?? tried the search box but got nowhere Here ampsy: ejuice.breaktru.com/This Nic Combine calculator is a useful one also: ecigvape.com/combine_calculator.phpYou might be able to pick up some VG in the bakery aisle of a supermarket, as it's used in Royal Icing . . . . dinky bottles, that might look something like this:

be careful ampsy if you're gonna dilute with glycerin the liquid will be quite thick and won't wick well in some clearomisers, you might end up with a load of burnt coils and a worse cough and if you cant get any more well you will be worse off

ampsy Perpetua within ejuicemeup, in the Tools menu there is a nic combine section. One piece of software does the lot
