Best e-liq base?

[tyjames]

Im trying to find the best e-liq base and not having much luck.. not all are the same it seems. Maybe Im sensitive. Im used to smoking 100% VG base. The e-liq that agrees with me the most is Johnson Creek. Idk what is special about it but it just seems like good smokejuice, aside from the actual flavor I get no bad side effects, I can smoke it 24/7. I was wanting to DIY and I bought a VG + nicotine base from ecigexpress and felt dizzy after only a few puffs. I have sampled from many vendors and can tell a difference right away. All beside the flavor. So really want to know the best.. maybe there is a review of top base liquids. Also on that same note.. would it be best/cheaper to buy premade mixes or DIY all the way?

Nude Nicotine, Velvet Cloud Vapor & Halo offer quality bases at varying ratios. Maybe try one of those?

If you got dizzy, I'd double check the following:
Are you sure your base and VG amounts were correct for your target nicotine strength?
Did you shake the nicotine base before you measured it out?
Did you thoroughly mix the base and extra VG?
Did you shake it again before use?

I ask about the mixing because VG is so thick, it can take a while to thoroughly mix. Some people warm it or add water or alcohol to thin it a bit.

Probably somewhat cheaper to DIY all the way, but even if you buy it premixed to your target nicotine strength, you'll save a ton over buying premade juice.

If you want all VG, you can buy VG base. I recommend Wizard Labs, or High Desert Vapes (which sells WL base and VG, but sometimes cost a little less). Of course many others also sell VG base.

Nude Nicotine has a great all VG nicotine base you can buy from 6-36MG premixed or buy 100MG and dilute it yourself...they flavor concentrates they sell are also 100%VG as well.

I like what Nude Nicotine has to say and the price is good. Velvet Cloud Vapor sounds like something my friend tried when he was in SF.. But the base is quite a bit more expensive.

Nude Nicotine is a very clear pure nicotine. I have never had a batch that was in any way funky...I can not say the same of some other sources

So turns out it wasnt the base that was bad.. it was the Cherry flavor from Lorann. I know this because I vaped the unflavored and it was smooth as can be and actually made me feel Better than before. Reading more I see its in the Yellow on the chart. Ive read there are up to 2000 chemicals in a flavor. I ended up putting what I had left of some JC into the mix to give it a subtle flavor and its the best smoke Ive ever had.

wonderful I am glad you found what worked for you

So how do you calculate when using these pre mixes? Just add 3-5% flavoring to mix? Then let steep for a couple days? and tweek as needed?

I would avoid Cherry from LorAnn, it's on my warning list - There is also a thread here with all lorann products and if they're ok to vape or not.

that's the best way to do it.

Ok do I need to re steep between adding more flavors?

I really like NicSelect unflavored VG (MyFreedomSmokes sells this brand) as a base, then I add NETs to taste.
