Default Safe Handling-again

Hi,
1 more thing. Once I had the nicotine syrup I experimented very carefully. I mixed 1 tiny drop in a teaspoon of flavoring & vaped in a clean atomizer. I then waited to see if my nicotine craving abated or if it took the top of my head off. Based on the results I adjusted the proportions; starting fresh each time.(clean atomizer, mixing container, & etc). I mixed with a matchstick, disposable. When I was happy with the result, I extrapolated & mixed the batch. I destroyed the extra nicotine syrup; judging it too dangerous to leave around in an undiluted state

Safe handling: I used a small plastic screw on cap to mix my samples. (from a soft drink or water bottle). The flat top is stable & disposable.

Paranoia in this instance is a good thing! IMHO If you're not, then buy the stuff.

Hi guys !
I want to mix Flavour and VG only, no nic juice.
What quantities shoud i use ? 50:50 ?

I have some Mint Choc Chip thats apparently quite strong ... and 100mls of VG.
I dont mind putting distilled water into the equation too.

Any help appreciated !

50% is way too much flavoring, try 20 - 30%. You may also want to add a small percentage (1-2%) of distilled water and/or 100 proof vodka to thin it some.

Not my first attempt at mixing my own, but I think I'm in love!

I call this one ET Delight

10% Lorann English Toffee
20% VG
40% PG
30% RY4

for a 7ml batch, that's:

0.7ml Lorann English Toffee
1.4ml VG
2.8ml PG
2.1ml RY4

I have also added English Toffee to my RY4. Great vape and my favorite, taste so sweet and smells like cotton candy.

There is a certain percentage of people who do not get addicted to nicotine. Maybe you are one of those.
But it is a very real addiction to that percentage of us that do become addicted to nicotine. This is all well proven FACT. It is one of the most addictive substances on earth.

If you are able to quit and feel no nicotine cravings at all, that's great. But my vape MUST have nicotine in it, or else I will need an analog. Fortunately when I started vaping I was able to buy a couple bottles of 555 high. I stopped a 35 year 2 pack a day habit literally overnight.

I have used no nic flavors, and that craving makes it's self known in a very short time. I guess I will be one of those that will have to reduce my nic content gradually over time before I can vape no nic flavors.
In the past 5 weeks I have smoked less than 12 analogs, not bad for a person who used to smoke 2+ packs a day.

That's 70 packs of cigs I didn't have to buy, at a cost of $11.25 a pack; A savings of $787.
I have bought e cigs for everyone (5 in total now) So what if I spent $500 or so on this stuff in the last month. I still have more money than I usually do, because my wife is also vaping now, cutting down on her 1 + pack a day habit saving another $300 or so.

Rediculous isn't it? spending $1000. bucks a month on cigarettes?
