Are you done stocking up?

Ok my nautilus is leaking out of the air holes and I have high VG juice in it, ack! What juice works best in these? I close air holes and it is fine but can't get enough air flow to get any vape, still gurgling bad too
50/50 is perfect in a Nauti IMO. Hi VG shouldn't leak at all.
I just saw that you found juice in the chimney so maybe problem solved.
The only time my wife's leaks is when she misthreads the coil.
I was going to suggest unscrewing the coil and reseating it (screw it back in).

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
I was just looking at some Mason Jars I have, sitting empty. Inexpensive and easily gotten locally (no high shipping charges).
i ended up using wide mouth canning jars on the recent gallon of nic. i didn't use the ring lids,,i bought the plastic bpa free ones. i filled each jar to within a couple 'hairs' of full. put the lid 'on'.. let them sit in the freezer over night then tightened the lid. there is very little air in the jar to alter the nic imho. i normally vape 0 nic,, with visits to 3mg as mood decides.

Ok, now I am wondering about VG and buying a bulk supply.

Nude nicotine sells it. My preferred ratio is 70/30 PG/VG. I have bought all my nic 100mg in PG base. I have 2500ml of 100mg nic in PG base. How much VG will I need to purchase?

Have I said I hate math before? If not..... I. Hate. Math. :lol:

What are you referring to? Who will add what ingredients and to what? You seriously think that they(whomever 'they' are) would really stoop to mass murder? Or are you just being paranoid? If not. please link to wherever you got this information.
Precedent:
Denatured alcohol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I doubt they would actually make it poisonous, nor is it necessary to do that. At some point last year, someone in Europe reported that the small bottles of VG available at local pharmacy started to get a bitterant added to them to make the VG essentially unvapable.

I suppose some might regard it as paranoia. Personally, I look at it all as cheap insurance. For what I used to spend on cigs every 2 weeks, I've got enough PG and VG to make juice for myself for the next 15 years.

Need to know your final nic stength to do the math.

But... You're in Florida. So is Essential Depot. That makes their shipping pretty affordable.

Thank you for the links :)

My final vaping is 6mg nic. I don't ever plan on going lower. but who knows, right? I never thought I would stop smoking either :laugh:

But anyway, the goal is to match as closely as possible to what I currently have to what I need in VG. That way I will be done worrying for at least 14 - 15 years or so.

@bnrkwest - Wait! Wait! You may not be finished even yet! Have you tried the Baked Cinnamon Roll One Shot Flavor from OSDIY Shop? If not...Wow is it good, mixed at even 7-8%!

Since I know you have a bunch of Lucky Shot already, too, like I do...I then also tried a small amount of it that I'd made up, in with about 2 times the amount of the BCR already made...and OMG! I didn't know any eliquid could taste this wonderful! Makes me want to just drip it directly on my tongue!! :p

You need a bit more than 5 liters of VG and a little less than 11 liters of PG. That's a total of about 4.25 gallons, about 1.35 gallons of VG and 2.9 gallons of PG.

Are ya sayin' I need 4 Gallons?!?!?! I think even my tiny brain knows better that That! :laugh:
Yes, see above. $60 will get you 4 gallons delivered to your door (3 PG, 1VG). Get an extra liter of VG somewhere and you're all set! :D

So I need:

3 gallons of PG
1 gallon of VG
1 liter of VG

I thought since the nic was in PG.... Nevermind....I am so not a DIY person ROFL

I do have a recipe on my computer for my unflavored ratio. Just had another look at it.

No, wait... I think that's wrong.... I think I need to get a fresh napkin.

The above gets you the correct ratios, but I don't think it's enough.

Ok, now I am even more confused.....

Palm derived or soy derived? :blink:

Who the hell knew it would be this confusing?!?!?

I can get the 3 gal of pg and 1 gal of vg in a cube and now they throw the Palm or Soy at me.... :facepalm:

I'm not allergic to anything so that isn't an issue. What is the kind that is most likely used in their unflavored that NN supplies to customers?

I guess I'm not concerned about PG and VG availability going forward. I did get a gallon of each a few months ago, but won't get more until that's pretty much used up. Both Essential Depot and Bulk Apothecary have been good suppliers for me and I expect them to continue selling in the future, as neither is specifically a vape related site.

    Ok I can't find my lighted head magnifier thingy, guess I will have to put it on my need to buy list, geez thought I was done LOL! Might as well get a bit more VG and PG while I'm at it.

    Fiddled with the Nautilus a bit, it did have a bunch of juice in the chimney, then my battery died in Provari, so will have to wait until my batts charge up again to try it.
    The nautilus will flood when the batt is low, btw.

    All the talk about potentially putting something in it to make it unvapeable.... kind of spooked me.

    I never thought the day would come that I would be stocking up. Talk about naive

    I put that kind of thinking in the same category with the thoughts that ATF will be coming to our houses and confiscating our vapes- extremely unlikely.
