Want to star DIY Juice in Canada-Where?

[ShelaghDB]

Hi, want to start to learn DIY for juice, here in Canada, Toronto specifically.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for Canadian suppliers? I am not interested in PMs or posts from suppliers themselves.

I am specifically looking for advice ONLY from other Canadians that make their own.
Or if there is any particular spot where I can learn how to do it, where to order from etc?

I could ask Americans but that isnt going to help me as a Canadian, hence, why I am asking here...how/where to get started.


Thanks

The DIY e-liquid forum is your best spot to learn how to DIY. https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forums/diy-e-liquid.38/

As for who to purchase your supplies from, there are several Canadian suppliers who can provide your DIY needs. Check out the Canadian Suppliers forum here: https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forums/canada-suppliers.538/

Get my PG from a good compounding pharmacy near me. Would easily get my VG there too if I used it.
Nic base canvape, flavs too, larger flavour quants. I like flavourfog. Cheers.

PS All Canadian

 

[ShelaghDB]

Thank you. All of you. MUCH appreciated and gives me a place to start!!!

It's just called the DIY Vape Shop. Three 30 ml flavours for $20.00, and I believe my hubby paid 10.00 each for PG, VG (1 liter bottles) and the nic is sold in 24 and 36mg at $10.00 for 30 ml. He sells starter kits for $30.00 with syringes and bottles included.

Tons of flavours by Flavour West, Capella, Lor-ann, and Flavour Art.

What would be considered acceptable prices on Nicotine, 6mg to be exact IF its priced according to mg?

canvape 48mg 30ml $7.95.
eastcoastvape 50mg $7.99
hydavape 48mg 250ml $45
hydavape 100mg 250ml $60
just to name a few

The vendor only sells nicotine dilutions in 24 and 36mg -- so mixed further with vg, pg, and flavoring, a 30ml bottle actually goes pretty far. My hubby's made several bottles at 6 and 3mg and used less than half a bottle of nic. Hope that helps.

how long would a 250 ml/100mg bottle last someone? Is it only good for so many months? Would want to avoid paying for 3x of shipping if i can but not if the nicotine will go bad in a short time?

/sighs
so much to read
keep trying and keep getting distracted elsewhere
sure wish i just had a store nearby i could walk into and pick out what i needed

back in spring i bought 1 liter each of vg and pg, 1 liter 100mg nic, shipping about $18 from hydavape.
i vape about 20-30 mls/day at 3mg nic.
the 1 liter 100mg nic will last me for years. safe from any new laws about nic
the freezer will keep the nic fresh

So I stand corrected. My husband just told me he paid $20.00 for 3 bottles of nic. Not bad at all.

I got nic , PG, VG from First Choice Vapor. Unflavoured 100mg/PG Base 120ml for $30, PG/VG 1000ml $24 each bottle. Got the parcel in Toronto in 5 days. Flavourings I bought from All-ecig Solutions, also fast shipment. Happy with both purchases.

I am using this juice calculator. It also gives you cost of your e-liquid and inventory of ingredients .
