    DIY Disaster!!!

    I have wondered the same thing. I didn't mention this earlier, to stop my posts being so long that no one would read them, but when the package arrived some nic base had escaped the bottle. Either the cap wasn't on tightly enough, or they made a real messy job when packaging it. Fortunately...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Quick update. I threw out the offending 30ml bottle yesterday, but kept the second 30ml bottle batch in my kitchen cupboard with all my store bought juice. Opening the cupboard I usually get a slight aroma of sweet juice flavours. Today a get a very strong peppery smell that fills the whole...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Having slept on it I think the problem is one of three things: 1.) I put to much nic in the juice. Possible, but not likely. I used a 3ml oral syringe and measured 3.6ml. This was one of two 30ml bottles I made, and when finished both were filled to the exact same level, just under the neck of...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Thanks Danny, I plan to drip both the PG and VG in my Derringer to see if they can be given the all clear, but didn't do this before hand. Although I don't think it's an allergy to either as I've been vaping 50/50 shop blends for months without any issue. One of the reasons I'm not sure it...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Ok. Read up on Nic testing, looks like I need to find .12N Sulphuric Acid and Bromothlymol Blue. Man I can't begin to explain how disappointed I feel about the way this has turned out. I'm determined to stick with the DIY, but I may need to slow down a bit, so as not to poison myself in the...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    I appreciate all the input, but still feel unsure as too what went wrong. Most think the nic level was too strong, either from a mistake by me (possible), or by the vendor when mixing the nic. But I know next to nothing about the vendor or their reputation, they were simply the only people I...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Thanks guys, come to think of it I didn't shake the nic bottle before use. Is this standard practice? This is my first DIY and my first bottle of nic. I just tried to man up and give the second batch a try. Got the KFv4 wicked, added a little juice to the wick and hit the button without the...

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Going for 10% flavouring, which is the difference in our calculations, but doesn't effect nic strength My ADV is 12mg, and I use the same KFv4, so don't think that's a factor, but thanks for the suggestion.

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Shooting for 1.2% (12mg), and nic is PG, so going for 50/50 blend.

    DIY Disaster!!!

    Thanks that was my first thought, but I'm fairly confident of my percentages as above. Also no nausea, headaches or stomach issues. So not sure.

    DIY Disaster!!!

    I made my first DIY Juice today. Using 100mg nic, PG/VG, and TFA flavourings. 30ml batch: 8.5ml PG, 15ml VG, 3.6ml nic, 3ml flavour. Flavour broke down to: 1ml Caramel Capoccino, 1.5ml Waffle, 0.5ml Maple Syrup. I was so keen to try this that after only 5hrs with a few bottle shakes, I...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Read the above post and went to the aquarium shop at lunch. Wonder if this might give a more accurate reading? It's designed to give a PH reading of tank water, but I'd guess it would work for any liquid. I plan to give it a try as soon as my PG/VG and Nic arrive.

    Nicotine delivery in summer

    @JimDrock Can I ask which brand of nic base you were using? Might be worth us avoiding it considering your experience.

    Nic Base Question

    Went and bought this during my lunch break: Along with some padlocks to keep my Nic Base, PG/VG, syringes, juice bottles, etc.. out of harms way. The bottom compartment is big enough to hold 8x 1.5litre bottles, so plenty of room for all my DIY juice kit when it arrives. :)

    Nic Base Question

    Thanks Ramsey, It would appear to be Flavourart's Heaven Juice then :) They only sell up to a maximum of 36mg nic strength on their website, but purhaps they sell 100mg to retailers. IDK. I'm hoping the nic I bought is in pure PG, but my retailers website doesn't say. It's not a problem if...

    My First Lesson

    @CuloMono Can I ask why you are not planning to use syringes for all measurements? You can cheaply purchase 1ml, 3ml, 5ml and 10ml syringes, and that would provide a higher degree of accuracy IMO.
