Can it be that easy?

[Breezy Dawn]

Ive been VERY intimidated by Diy juice but maybe i just found my way,maybe. Found nude nic and since they have the nic with pg and vg already figured in,i may try this. I have a few question for you experts though. I vape 12 mg juice all day,so im thinking i could get 18 mg and then just add the flavors?? That sounds to easy for some reason to me,lol. I know to get a taste you like, those flavors will have to be tinkered with but,i mean...is that all i need to do. Get the premixed nic,pg,vg bottle and then flavors to add to it?? I think i can handle it if its that simple with there products.
I also have wondered what i would be like to vape with no flavors,would that nude nic with pg and vg already in it would be the way to go?
Im motivated to save more money and know to save more,this is a good choice to fit that purpose. Any input is appreciated and thank you!!

Yes you can do this, its a start.Although it might be more than 12 Mg of nic after you add flavors as It would take a lot of flavoring to bring 18 To 12 I'm sure.15 mg is better. But making it from scratch is easier than you think,It isn't hard really.But yes your idea will work, also keep in mind flavoring is usually Pg based so it will add more Pg to the nude Juice.

I know there is going to yet another learning curve but it looks like i may try it now. I dont trust myself to have 100mg of nic and mix pg,vg and then flavor...just not even considering all that lol. This may be doable for me though,thanks

You don't have to buy 100 mg,You can buy a lower one to be safer, but try the Nude juice method.Get some syringes and flavors.

I started off with a 36 nic base and some VG, most of the recipe calculators make it quite simple to mix and get at your target nic level. Another thing you will need that is unavailable for purchase is patience......I have made some juices I thought were barely tolerable at first, then a month later while contemplating tossing them out gave them another try, only to find out they were quite good. Keep a journal and log down all the little tweaks and steep times and whatever comes to mind. Its intimidating at first but like with coil-building it becomes second nature, I haven't bought any premixed juice in months...............

You CAN buy pre-mix but it is really limiting. You are much better off getting straight stuff and either measuring or weighing it out yourself. Flavor percentages can range from 3-4% to <30% and this not only changes your nic. level but since the flavors are PG based it wacks out your V/P percentages.

Go play around and get comfortable with one of the available juice calculators. Once you figure them out they will tell you all you need to know however, you should be familiar enough with the theory to recognize a really whacked out number (most important with Nic.). I strongly suggest getting a decent inexpensive scale and working by weight rather than volume as I find it much more accurate and efficient but that is a personal choice.

Yeah, go with a lower nic strength. I'm nervous about 100mg myself, as I'm old, shaky and tend to spill, and drop things, I get 60mg nic and that works for me.

I second the mixing by weight thing.

 

[Breezy Dawn]

another question,i see people vape unflavored juice too. Is this nic juice that has a pg/vg ratio what is considered a unflavored juice that can be vaped out of the bottle?

i am clumbsy,lol and have horrible anxiety.I think 100mgs in the house never opened could keep me up at night just knowing its here, lol

 

[oplholik]

Getting the pg/vg and nic strength you want would be unflavored nic. I always shake the bottle well when getting it to make sure everything is mixed well.

10% nic. is not caustic or anything. It should be handled with caution and respect but if you spill it on yourself it will not burn or sink immediately in to your blood stream. You do want to wash it off immediately and you don't want to put it in a warm window sill and enjoy the aromatic bouquet but it is no more dangerous then a lot of household cleaning product. I have spilled it on myself to many time to even count and have never felt any effects from it as long as I rinse it off fairly quickly.

To dilute 18mg/mL to 12mg/mL using nothing but flavoring, you'd end up with a finished e-liquid containing 33.3% flavoring. Depending upon fwhat flavorings are used, that would be a pretty awful tasting e-liquid.

If you're not fussy about your nicotine content being exactly 12%, I'd recommend getting some 12mg/mL nicotine base and solely using flavorings that work well at low percentages. Generally, Vaping Zone's Super-Concentrated flavorings,Inawera and Flavour Art flavorings are used at low percentages, usually under 5%.

As an example...
if you added 5% flavoring to 12mg/mL base, you'd end up with 11.42mg/mL...not too far off from your preferred 12mg/mL.

Yes

 

[Breezy Dawn]

Thats my plan now,12mg and some flavors to ruin some juice,baha!!!

 

[oplholik]

@11.42 mg, I doubt you'd notice the difference.

 

[Breezy Dawn]

Yes

well if that the stuff,wow what a difference in price!!! they have my mix of 70vg and 12mg nic for only 9 bucks for 120ml!! Im loving that,now to try it straight like that,lol

To me a bottle of 100mg is the same as having draino in the house,Except draino is probably more poisonous.Its not Nitroglycerin.

Yes, it can be vaped from the bottle....... Anything you add to the fluid flavors or PG/VG will both change the PG/VG ratios and REDUCE the nic levels, by dilution.
Get yourself a juice calculator, like Ejuicemeup or juice grinder they are free.

Because my wife vapes at 70p/30v-80p/20v at 12-15mg and I vape 70p/30-50/50 at less than 10mg. I buy the 24mg 70/30 nic base to make our juice because it works better for me mathematically.
