I'm about to start on DIY so I wanted to say hello.
I picked up a mini freezer today. I've got some 100mg nicotine, VG, and a bunch of bottles and mixing gear. My first sample pack of flavorings is due tomorrow. I'm planning to get started this weekend.
The first item on my list is to transfer the nic from the plastic bottles it arrived in, to smaller glass bottles. That's a little scary so I've spent a bunch of time reading here and planning how to do it safely. Stocked up on gloves and goggles. I picked up a large 6" deep plastic container from Lowes to work in. My theory is that if I do spill anything it will stay in the container.
Someone here suggested putting the nic in 60ml glass bottles, then dilute one bottle at a time down to the concentration you intend to use and put it in large glass bottles, so I'm going to do that.
Then I'll start by mixing some small bottles with a single flavor, just to get familiar with the process. Not much choice since I only have 5 small sample bottles of flavoring. After that I'll be round to bug you guys for recipes.
My State is currently considering legislation that might make premixed juice unobtainable. They are looking at an expensive and outrageously onerous licensing process for any vendor wanting to sell it in Indiana, whether they are based in or out of the State. The proposed cost is $5000 a year. How many small vendors in CA would be willing to pay $5000 a year and jump through hoops for the privilege of selling in Indiana. And of course a 24% tax on top so they would need to set up tax processing for Indiana sales. What would we do without politicians to keep us safe.
Sometime soon I'll be picking up more nic. I calculated my little freezer will hold enough to last the rest of my life, for less than the cost of the freezer. They haven't mentioned banning nicotine sales, but probably just because it hasn't crossed their minds yet.
