Nicotine shots can have varying levels of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), two of the main ingredients found in e-liquids. If there is more PG in an e-liquid, then it will be a thicker liquid that is better suited to power devices. If there are similar amounts of PG and VG, then it will work well in more modestly powered devices. Some nicotine shots contain 100 per cent PG; these are thinner liquids. It's also possible to purchase nicotine shots that do not contain PG or VG. These hitters provide the most choice when it comes to the flavour and nicotine level of your nicotine shot.

If you are wondering how many nicotine shots you should add to your E-liquid, this blog post is for you. 

Nicotine Shots: How Many Should You Add to Your E-Liquid?

The nicotine shots that are available on the market range from zero nicotine to 24mg nicotine and above. As a general rule, the higher the strength of the e-liquid, the larger the doses of nicotine shot you should use.

As a beginner, you should start off with a lower strength e-liquid. Our most popular fluid is 5% nicotine strength. This is the best way to determine how much nicotine shot you need to add to your e-liquid.

For example, 5% nicotine strength e-liquid requires a 12mg nicotine shot. This is the average amount we recommend. We suggest adding 1ml of e-liquid to 10ml of nicotine shot and then making any necessary adjustments to the mixture depending on how you like the taste.

If you are looking for a more powerful nicotine shot, then you can purchase a 24mg nicotine shot and add 1-2mls to a 10ml of e-liquid. 

How To Make Your E-Liquid 1.5mg

Most e-liquid bottles contain 10mls of e-liquid. A good starting point to find how many nicotine shots you need to add to your e-liquid is 1ml of e-liquid to 10ml of nicotine shot.

For example, if you have 10mls of 5% e-liquid, then you will need 1ml of e-liquid and 10mls of nicotine shot to make it a 1.5mg strength. This will give you a decent starting point.

You can then adjust the mixture depending on how you like the taste.

What If I Want a Higher Strength?

To make stronger nicotine shots, you can mix 1ml of e-liquid with 15mls of nicotine shot and then make any necessary adjustments to the mixture depending on how you like the taste. To make a higher strength e-liquid, you can add more nicotine shots.

For example, if you want a stronger nicotine shot, you can mix 1ml of e-liquid with 15mls of nicotine shot and then make any necessary adjustments to the mixture depending on how you like the taste. You can then add another 1ml of e-liquid to the mixture to make it a 2.5mg nicotine strength.
