Basic VG Juice

[Stewart Jarvis-Grove]

Have i got this right or is there a catch?

I can create some unflavoured juice by buying some VG like this:
Vegetable Glycerine 1 Litre - Vapable

Some VG based Nicotine like this:
72mg (7.2%) Nicotine - Vapable

and have me a load of juice to vape? (sounds too simple to me)

I'm back in the UK for a bit, Stewart, and am so waiting for a confirmatory reply to your post, so's I can get ordering too!

Yes. I'd suggest 100 mg/ml nicotine though. More cost effective in the long run. It's slightly cheaper by volume and you use less of it. Also, check the reviews of the products. There is a difference in the quality and taste of nicotine solutions and dilution bases. Make sure the products are kosher/USP grade.

HW,
7.2% is the MAX concentration legal for consumer use in the UK/EU.

There are quite a few people who vape unflavored juice. I would highly suggest using a juice calculator to get the unflavored juice at a safe and effective level of nicotine.

Also VG is much thicker than PG so some people have a difficult time getting it to wick properly. One remedy for that is to add a few drops of "Distilled Water". You can usually find Distilled water in a grocery or pharmacy for $1 a gallon (US).

I would also suggest if you are trying this to make a small batch at first, say 10 ml, to see if you get the consistency and nic strength correct. This way you don't over dilute or make it too strong.

I just checked the link for the VG and it's USP grade , which means it's 99.5% pure or greater. Good to vape.

The nic can be bought in a PG or VG base, if you get it in a PG base it will thin the vg nicely without distilled water. Depending on your nic level in vape it could also add to the throat hit if you buy it in a pg base. It does come in a VG base as well.

There is a lower percentage option nicotine here: 48mg (4.8%) Nicotine - Vapable

and it's available in 50ml, 100ml, 1000 ml. The reviews look favourable on the base and the nic

That's great, thank you.

I'm really tempted to get 100ml of nicotine and a litre of VG and make some cheap stuff as starter in my first dabblings at making my own juices. I can move on to flavourings later

Thank you OP for starting this topic and for those who have replied. I have to take my wife to hospital tomorrow ( slipped on wet marble tiles in Spain and broke her arm) but as soon as we get back in my order will be off!

I have one question on the eJuice me up calculator. How do i factor in whether the juice is 48mg or 72mg?

Straight VG juice can be too thick for many atomisers to wick properly, so you'll also need some distilled water to thin it with - 10-15% should do it. If you live in a soft water area you can get away with tap water in my opinion, though others may disagree. You can save some cash by ordering from this place......
7.2% Nicotine (VG Base)

Get your nicotine in a PG base and mix with VG and it will thin down the VG some to make it more vapable and work better in your tanks and such.

Thanks for the video Susan and screenshot shirtbloke.

I'm trying to avoid PG Robert, it doesn't like me i think. I've just purchased a subtank mini so i use VG juices and was looking at 100% VG juices online and thought they must surely be just VG and nicotine so went looking for the ingredients and found them.

So if i make 30ml i can just add 3ml (60 drops) of distilled water to thin it down rather than using PG?

That's correct.

 

[Stewart Jarvis-Grove]

It sounds like i'm ready to roll then!

Might want to try 5% max distilled water for first batch. See if it is workable, then adjust a little higher if need be.
For 30 ml) If: 1 ml.=20 Drops, Then: 5% = 30 drops
Best to use Calculator and add by weight or volume.
Could check:
Where in Uk or EU Can i buy good flavors for DIY?

 

[Stewart Jarvis-Grove]

Ok Bob, as far as i see it i can add drops as i need them throughout the juices life to get the right thickness.

This has just been posted in another thread i started but it appears we can walk in to a local boots and pick up VG just as cheap in 200ml bottles!
