Can I copy it too (just kidding) You guys are awesome for helping newbies

you know, i pop into the general vaping discussion (and contest!) forums semi-regularly, but tend to hang out in the new members section - still consider myself somewhat new, and a big believer in paying it forward

Yepper, this is where I hang most too .... I mainly like to welcome people on their first post because some of them may be shy and I want them to not feel so much that way here.

Just had to say thanks to @dcfluegel and @Sir2fyablyNutz for that awesome list of DIY resources. I have copied and pasted it into a blog post for future reference. That was just way too much good information to pass up!

Yeah I prefer the vg over the of also and I didn't think I was using a high nic mg but every shop I have went into is acting like I'm crazy cause I prefer to use nothing less than 12 mg in my starre freemax subohm tank. But it's just what I'm used to I prefer to have 18mg and because I don't know how to get it to that or how I would know I wish there was a way to just buy it already together just unflavored the idea of having to mix the vg with pg and adding the nic is quite scary, I know and understand nic is a very powerful and dangerous drug. Do you of anywhere to buy pre mixed vg and pg nic bases where I just get to pour it into my little bottle and flavor it up lol

That's why I prefer to use the 100mg nic base. It's super easy to calculate. Let's just say that you want your final mix to be 18mg nic, so:
15% - Total Flavor Concentrates
18% - 100mg Nic Base
67% - Diluent of your choice (PG or VG)

For a 10ml sample, that would equal:
1.5ml - Total Flavor Concentrates
1.8ml - 100mg Nic Base
6.7ml - Diluent of your choice (PG or VG)

You could then take that 10ml sample base and multiply it to create larger batches.
Multiply by 3 and you get:
4.5ml - Total Flavor Concentrates
5.4ml - 100mg Nic Base
20.1ml - Diluent of your choice (PG or VG)
Which would give you 30ml

Sir is like mastermind of information on where to start and how to do the diy you should do training classes I would totally be interested in learning from you. Or even done YouTube vids

Ginger I appreciate that compliment but the truth is I am much better at organizing things than I am at mixing.
