Am I the only person who has a problem with ppl making juice in their homes?

This regulation stuff has me worried. I have about 900ml of juice in my deep freeze now. But I'm going to buy a gallon of unflavored 70/30 in 32 4oz bottles from e-liq.com for $93.83 out the door. That won't have all the unknown chemicals and will tide me over for a while if the regulation stuff gets ugly. I'm not sure how long it will last, but my deep freeze is -15F so it should last for a while even in 4oz plastic bottles. Wait, I'm not preserving flavors so this should last a looooong time if needed. That's a 3840ml stash

And you address is.....?

Have you had it tested? How do you know it isn't full of nasties?

Klynnn -- I'm far from young but my DIY skills suck big time. If I could do better I would agree with you. I'm sure it won't be long and I will have to learn to do better. I feel online juice sales will be a thing of the past in 2 or less years.

I wasn't too successful the first time I tried it; it seems the most important thing is the flavor you use -- particularly with tobacco flavors. You just kinda have to try some until you find some you like. The mixing is very easy, and there are all kinds of online calculators, and recipes for those various calculators. It's an investment in time and money the same as all the rest of vapeware, but mercifully the flavors aren't costly, and neither is the PG/VG, and even the nic is not currently terribly expensive, though I'm fairly sure that's going to change. And I agree that eventually it may be difficult if not impossible to buy pre-mixed ejuice, at least until a few things get thrashed out in the courts -- which could take quite some time.

But yeah, once you find some flavors that suit you, it's really not difficult. If you can read and follow a recipe, you can DIY ejuice.

That store in the photo is in Flint, Michigan! LOL. But, but, Flint, MI? Yeah, Flint town!

They have two locations so things must be going good for them.

I used to live just a bit south of Flint, in Lake Orion. My husband and I lived there when we first got married.

Roar is still doing good! (For the old heads, that would be the vendor formerly known as RAWR).

I didn't even know they had a physical storefront until last month, and it's only a little over an hour and a half away from me, so I had to go check them out. Plus I found out they are a Provape dealer, so there's that... Back when they were Rawr, there was rarely a month that went by that I didn't buy at least a bottle of Truth Serum. I find it odd how rarely I see them mentioned these days. They are one of the greats.

More in the works. But that's kinda besides the point -- they started out quite small and have been around since '09. Luckily they were allowed to develop and continually get better. Rarely does anyone in this industry start out big with all systems firing at 100%.

Have you ever heard of Vermillion River? You may want to check them out too. Check out their "Excellence" policy, it may surprise you.

My first time of hearing of Vermillion River. Checking out their site now. Any tobacco recommendations?

Permits and Inspections Search Directory
Feel free to find your state, look at the food inspections. Find your favorite places to eat, see what they found, then think about it next time you sit down to order your favorite dish from that place.

Eating out in my town has been ruined for me. Our county jail had less infractions than some of my favorite restaurants!

And I refer to the test "Animal Farm" as in the roots of communism, this is how it starts, classic case.

I was in that line, but standing next to my friend that took the photo -- I ain't one to be cheesin' in photos, and neither is W. LOL.

And, yes, we've definitely broken the rules of the Vape Club!

Sorry..Please don't take my Vape Club card away.

That was a rare photo as Wald seems to be a bit camera shy.

I guess I'm just a spoiled brat from A+ juice vaping. I have tried all the premium flavors from Inawera to The Flavor Apprentice and none taste anything close to premium. Then there is the problem of nicotine oxidation. Storing a large bottle of nicotine has that problem because every time you open it it adds oxygen to it. I know there are ways around it but I'm too lazy for that. I'm sure if Ahlusion keeps selling after the FDA gets done with everyone, my juice will skyrocket to over $30 a 30ml. I'll buy it none the less though if still available online. If not, Mr Mann and I will have to strike a deal on bootleg!

Yeah, that problem with nicotine is why I store mine in 30ml glass bottles; I have 8 bottles in the freezer, and 2 in the fridge that I use out of (different PG/VG proportions). Since I only vape about 10mg, I knew this would be a big problem for me, it doesn't take much 100mg nicotine to mix up to make 10mg! So I got the 30ml bottles as soon as I started the nicotine stockpiling. Nice thing is, small bottles don't cost much, and they're much easier to store -- and, if my clumsiness gene kicks in and I manage to spill it (so far I haven't! yay!), then I only have a small mess to clean up of high-mg nicotine, instead of something requiring a hazmat suit.

Premium juices probably are premium because they're not single-flavor mixes, but a combination of main flavor + accent notes of other flavors (kinda like cooking!), but when starting DIY, it's best to start with single-flavor -- the first Virginia I got, from FlavourArt, was HORRIBLE, no amount of "accent notes" would save that -- but when I got a different brand, I found that not all Virginia flavors are created equal. What I've done is mix up a few single-flavor mixes of the various flavors that make up the "Virginia" I like -- the main tobacco flavor, plus a little tart apple and an even smaller trace of cinnamon redhot, then mix those; it worked pretty well, though I'm still trying to find a tart apple, more of a cider flavor really, that works best; most apple flavors are too sweet.

Happens all the time around here... how often do you see Tasty Vapor mentioned these days?

 

[Dixie1954]

I am sorry if what I say offends anyone but here goes - I make my own juice just for me not for anyone else as we all know everyone has different tastes. I think vaping is a bit strange but I am doing it anyway it is a choice and all mine. If I find out after doing it for years that it is harmful who can I blame? Me of course no one else. The 1 thing I have learned in my life is that what we do and how we do it is usually a choice. And my is that if the FDA was really all that worried about us consumers they would have killed off the tobacco industry eons ago - enough said??

 

[regal55]

Mainly for NETS its worth the mess. You can really make some brews than you just can't buy those can be treasured.. The stuff you can buy well thats just economics,


If your worried about the mess CLEAN.
