If you get the PG nic, then the shipping is only $6. You can get USP/kosher VG from amazon, $3.97/16oz, and I don't recall the exact charge for shipping, but it was far less than most of these vape places offer -- of course, if you have Prime, then shipping is free.

I know you're hesitant about DIY, but it can be done pretty easily, using this calculator -- it lets you specify the nic level and PG/VG ratio of each individual item you add, so it can be used to combine pre-made ejuice, or even adding WTA -- that was what I first started using it for, to add 100% VG WTA to pre-made ejuice and be able to control the resulting nic level *and* PG/VG, since I have to be so careful not to have more than 15%-20% VG. Now I use it for full-on DIY, and it's just as great for that.

Wait I think I finally get what to do now lol. Ill get the pg based 100mg nic off vapertek and then I can get the vg to even out the mix like you said. Could you possibly link me to the $3.97/16oz vg on amazon you mentioned? I looked but I couldn't find any even near that price. And thanks so much, this helps me out like you wouldnt believe.

Ok so would that be the cheapest route to go? And how much would it cost and how much e liquid would I end up with? And im actually not so against diy now that I know what it is. It seems relatively easy now. Also I really appreciate the help

As I said, I'm not *sure* of the shipping charge; the last time I ordered, I got a bottle of both PG and VG, and I think the shipping for that was about $7, so maybe about $4 for VG -- so 16oz, which is close to 500ml, for less, total, than just the shipping of the 120ml VG nic from VapersTek. That's why I freaked when I heard that 120ml of VG nic was $12 just to ship! Amazon does so *much* shipping, I suspect they get better rates from USPS, and can pass that on to customers.

Well hell.. I just checked, and they have REALLY!!! gone up on the price! It used to be $3.97, now it's $8.99???? :shock:

Still.. $9... and the standard shipping (I just checked) for this is $5.48, so $14.48 for the total price... instead of $10 for 120ml VG nic plus $12 for shipping -- still a considerable savings.

Really glad I bought 2 bottles at the $3.97 price, last time I ordered, and that I don't use much of it. That's absolute extortion, how they've raised the price. :facepalm: The PG is still $3.95/16oz.

Depending on where you live, you might be able to find USP glycerine less expensively in a store; can't say, since I've always bought it via amazon, but I need to look into that myself, at some point.

ETA: Just checked Walgreen's online -- they sell a vegetable glycerine product which is $6.93 for 8oz -- if they have this product *in store*, then you could save the shipping cost entirely. The brand name is "Heritage".

Ok so maybe would you suggest to get the 100mg nic at the vg base and then buy the pure pg seperately since its cheaper? Would it have the same effect?

Honestly, I can't say for sure about that VG; it's a good price, but it doesn't say "USP" or "food grade" anywhere on it. If you could find out if it's USP, then yes, it should be fine.

Andria
It says this on it
Supplement Facts
The vegetable glycerine contained in this product is considered food grade.

Hey so I decided to just go thru and get the 24mg unflavored nic base and just vape off that. Messing with 100mg of nic seems dangerous for me atm and I'm just not as experienced yet. I was using 50/50 ratio on my current 24mg nic base and saw barely any throat hit off that so now I made it full pg this time. Do you think I will need that flash additive from flashart too? Or should I be fine off with just the 24mg pg base? Thanks alot

That's a lot like the response my 85% PG gets at one of my local vape shops... they seem to have "never heard of anyone using that much PG!" :facepalm: That lack of awareness is why I no longer buy ejuice there (or anywhere else that doesn't offer 80% or 90% PG) -- the highest PG they offer is the Halo line, none of which taste good to me, but even 70% PG is far too much VG for me.

Andria
I used to love halo's tobaccos and I never really liked tobacco vapes too much. And I used to smoke mostly pg no doubt. I don't think it's weird. My local vape only does like 60 vg up. Granted I've come to prefer 50 vg and higher but that's just me. I can understand why you would like mostly pg. It depends on what equipment you use too. I like the big clouds of higher vg. But i am by no means a cloud chaser
