    Good intentions, implementation, and results here, but seriously folks, think VERY carefully about what you’re doing when you tamper with something someone’s putting in their body.

    Do not try at home to the nth degree.

      implying anyone on 4chan gives a shit about consent

      this made me really uncomfortable too, also its extremely fake, you can’t ‘take apart’ a vape juice bottle (theyre a single piece of plastic), and no one on 4chan has a girlfriend (lol)

        You can take apart juice bottles.
        The least realistic part is that anon managed to get to and dilute every bottle their gf used.
        Cause if they miss one, their gf is gonna have a serious shock.

        So, lack of consent and extremely controlling?

          That’s a very good point. The fictitious gf is the one buying the bottles. So if they are used to 1% nicotine and pick up a regular strength one, they’re going to use it, and immediately notice the difference…

      Would you be saying the same thing if it was about diluting vodka with water?

      …because that’s what mixing vape juice with juice base is.

        Yes I would, tampering is dangerous shit even when you think you’re being benign about it.

        Not to mention the implicit overstepping of boundaries and violation of knowing consent.

          If I was making a cocktail for a friend, and, eyeballing the ratios, ended up putting too little vodka in it, would that still be tampering?

            Your friend knew you were mixing it though

            If you were to go around a party pouring water in everybody’s drinks when they aren’t looking, I would consider that tampering, yes.

    This is BS. By the third or fourth bottle shed be like wtf is up with this juice?

    (This reduction method helped me quit, but it’s not imperceptible like that)

      I tapered off vaping using the same method, and there is a clear difference in the feeling of a pull when you cut the nicotine down. Also, you can’t just “cut” the nicotine, you’d have to find some way to enhance the flavor of the diluted mix otherwise it will just get more bland. All of that being said, this is a valid strategy for kicking it. Just buy lower nicotine content bottles until you get down to 0% nic, and if your your experience is like mine, you just wake up one day and don’t reach for the vape on the nightstand.

        If you mixed 50/50 VG/PG with the juice 1% at a time over months, the difference would be imperceptible. If a person vapes only one flavor, olfactory fatigue is going to take the flavor away way more than even a 50% cut.

        That all goes out the window if someone vapes different flavors, though.

    And then the gf decides she wants to try a new flavor, buys her “normal” nic strength, and fills her vape up with it before anon has a chance to dilute it.
