For my 1st DIY order, I decided to go w/ 60mg nic. PG base, and I ordered 120mL. I was considering 100mg, but I didn't really see a need to, other than saving some cents. My intention was to mix it w/ 120mL more PG & 60mL of VG, for a strength of 24mg at an 80/20 ratio. Then I can add upwards of 20% flavoring w/ a final nic. strength of 19mg or so. If I use less flavor it'd be a little stronger, but I wanted to experiment w/ adding extra amounts of VG anyways.
Now this puts my potential production at around 350 mL, which is a LOT for me. Me and my bro currently go thru about 2 mL a day between us, so that's potentially 6 months worth of juice. I plan on using drippers and BCC's eventually, so I'm sure my consumption is gonna go up when I'm making my own juice for cheap. But even if it only lasts 3 months, could a main batch of unflavored mix start to lose potency or taste bad after this amount of time?
Since I've read about ppl freezing their nic. base, that's something I'm now considering. I could take 1/4 of my nic. and make 75mL of unflavored mix, which would be a solid month's worth, and freeze the other 90mL. Then at least I kno for sure that in a month, I'm still making full strength juice. But then again, if a 300mL batch of unflavored mix wouldn't be a problem lasting a good 4-5 months, then I may just rather do that.
