ok.....do one you math whizzes wanna tell me what my cost per ml is?

I bought a gallon of pg and one of vg 50.00 say 60.00 for a liter of 100mg nic, not really sure what the shipping will be so I'm including 10.00 in the 60.00, figure that will also take care of shipping on the flavoring. My flavorings were 2.10 for 10 mls and I typically use 3-5% in my juice, so I reckin say 4% flavoring. I will run out of vg before pg, so not sure how that will figure in there. I make my base at 70 pg and 24mg nic.

Deba, sorry, I dashed out before your post.

Need to know which flav manufacturer you're using and/or how many batches ya get out of 10 ml.

Nonetheless, just goin' by your VG/PG price, that's less than $0.01/ml. Your nic is less than $0.02/ml. Not too shabby...

I remember when I was totally ecstatic when I reached under a dime/ml!

TBH, I may have made a mistake in some of my estimates; not concentratin' too well dis evening...

Regardless, DIY kick$ ...!!!

Ya'll can keep your Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat - I am gonna stick with Grits...
Actually, I like grits, too! There is very little I don't like.......two foods I can think of that actually make me queasy thinking about them are red beets and lamb! Bodies react to certain foods cause of their needs....and I do NOT need beets or lamb! :lol:

Me it is flat out an allergy to fish, seafood and shellfish. So the capsules were never an option. I actually have normal cholesterol. This is more of a lets prevent getting a problem.

Walnuts might be an option. My case stirred into the morning oatmeal. Yeah I am a wierdo I actually LIKE oatmeal. Mind you I sweeten mine with dried cranberrys and sliced fresh apple. LOL
Ohh I love oatmeal too good and healthy a full cup of oats nuked up nice and about 1/4 stick of butter and a few spoons of sugar. A healthy breakfast.

Just figured out the cost for me to make a 120 ml bottle of vanilla custard.
Including flavoring, nic and PG/VG. And I buy my pg/vg expensive at Amazon. 12.44 I think per quart.
Well it is a total cost of 1.64 for 120 ml.
I figured per ml cost of the flavorings involved and the PG/VG and the Nic. and Wala! 1.64

The more you vape the more you save, the more you save, the more 'shiny stuff' you can buy.:D

Bout done on hardware. Just need to order some spare parts for Subtank Mini's.
Will get some PG/VG and flavoring along but am set for at least a year in that area too.
Will get one more liter of nic. That will put me up to 15 + years worth.
Will have to buy some more Sallys Salon Coil cotton in about 5 years. That stuff looks just like cotton bacon when I cut it into lengths....

Might get one more Subox Mini... And maybe another VTC MIni.

I've won a lot on ecf in smaller contests, but I can't even imagine how many 1000's enter that one. Still, you've got as much chance as anyone else. Don't cost nuttin to enter
3900 got the entry right and another phoney name Aaron Henry wasn't Henry Aaron, Hank Aaron

@MikeE3 How do you like your VTC mini. Been thinking of getting about 2 or 3 cheap TC mods and retiring my other SX's till I need them although that new Cuboid that is coming out sounds pretty interesting also not much more then the VTC at Fastech. I've never ordered from them but they have some good prices. I have heard they are pretty good if you don't mind waiting 3 weeks. Not sure if they both have the same boards in them but they aren't much bigger and have 2 18650's in them. Theres already a thread on here about the Cuboid. I think the Chinese will try to get their products approved but if they do which I'm not sure of either but what will the price be then. Could pickup 3 of either of those for about $120. Not even sure if I would update them to 200w a pretty good review on the Cuboid on the thread or youtube.

Nic is .04/ml
PG/VG is .0124/ml
Yep messed up on flavor cost it is .10/ml
So yep it costs me 2.10/120 ml.
Unless I bad mathed again :confused:
Darn have to start buying PG/VG by the gallon.
A weeks worth of juice costs me 2.10.. Highway robbery.
