Can You Mix Nic Salt Flavours?
Got a few nic salt flavours you enjoy and wondered what would happen if you combined them? Yes, you can mix compatible nic salt e-liquids, but it's important to check the nicotine strength, VG/PG ratio and device compatibility first.
Mixing can be a simple way to create new flavour combinations without buying another bottle.
Can You Mix Two Nic Salts?
Yes, compatible commercially made nic salts can generally be mixed. Before experimenting, make sure both e-liquids:
- Are suitable for the same type of vape device
- Have compatible VG/PG ratios
- Have a suitable nicotine strength
- Are within their recommended shelf life
Start with a small amount rather than mixing two full bottles. This lets you test the flavour without wasting e-liquid.
What Happens to the Nicotine Strength?
Mixing liquids with the same nicotine strength keeps the final strength approximately the same.
For example:
- 5ml of 10mg + 5ml of 10mg = approximately 10mg
- 5ml of 20mg + 5ml of 20mg = approximately 20mg
If you mix different strengths, the final concentration changes. For example, equal amounts of 10mg and 20mg produce approximately 15mg.
For predictable results, using the same nicotine strength is the easiest option.
Does VG/PG Matter?
Yes. Most nic salts use a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, making them suitable for many pod kits and MTL devices.
When mixing, using liquids with similar VG/PG ratios is generally the simplest approach. Avoid combining liquids designed for very different types of devices without checking their compatibility first.
Best Nic Salt Flavour Combinations
You can experiment with flavours that share similar notes or balance each other.

Combination |

Which Flavours Should You Be Careful With?
Some stronger flavours can easily overpower others. Be cautious when combining:
- Strong menthol with delicate fruit
- Heavy tobacco with sweet flavours
- Strong anise with subtle flavours
- Multiple very sweet or cooling flavours
If you're using a strong flavour, start with a smaller amount and increase it gradually.
Quick Tips for Mixing Nic Salts
For better results:
- Start with a small test batch.
- Choose one flavour as your base.
- Add a smaller amount of the second flavour.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Test it in a clean, compatible pod.
- Adjust the ratio if needed.
You can also keep different flavours in separate pods if your device allows it. This lets you switch between flavours without permanently mixing them.
Is Mixing Nic Salts Worth It?
Mixing nic salt flavours can be an easy way to experiment with new combinations using flavours you already enjoy. Start small, keep the nicotine strength and VG/PG ratio in mind, and introduce stronger flavours gradually.
The best combination is ultimately the one that suits your taste, so experiment carefully and adjust your ratios until you find a flavour you enjoy.
