Does anyone know any cheap juices I can use in my subtank mini? vaping at .5 ohms at 30 watts but some of the cheaper juices have a higher pg ratio so don't give me the clouds I want and they also dont come in 3mg nicotine option. Is vaping really meant to be as expensive as £8 for 15 ml? Am I just being cheap? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Hhhmmm... vaping cheap juice is like drinking cheap beer, IMO. One can, of course, but why would one want to? That said, I DIY my juices, so mine are a lot more inexpensive. Something you might consider, assuming your local laws will permit you to do so. A real good option, if you've found a juice you like, is to query the manufacturer and see if they offer the same flavor in a different PG/VG balance. Another option, if you can find juice you like from a local juicery, is to buy in bulk, if they will sell it so. Your local manufacturer (I'm assuming such exist in the UK as they do in the States) might be willing to make you up a liter or two of your favorite flavor with a different ratio as well. And, you can always add a bit of VG to your juice to boost the cloud level at the price of attenuating the flavor/nic a bit. 2 or 3 ml in a 15ml batch would make a big difference, I'm thinking, without stretching the nicotine or flavor too far. That said, 8 quid for 15ml does seem a bit rough, but not by all that much. Today's fix is $1.56, making it $12.48/15ml. Most of the juices-- common, not gourmet-- run about $10 at my local vape shop, and you can get the cheap Chinese juice-- run away screaming!-- for less. A large number of gourmet juices are double or triple this amount.

oliver - check out kickassejuice.com and mount baker vapor

kickassejuice sells only 100% vg juice, which might only be good if you're using a sub-ohm tank, but they sell 60ml for about $15, and it's actually really good stuff.

mount baker is a long standing, widely loved company, with many more flavor options, as well as customizable pg/vg, nicotine, and even the option to add menthol or extra flavor to any juice for free. Also, their prices are great. I'm sure there are more, but these are the 2 i know of in my limited experiences

enjoy

Diy, my all day vape is a flavour from chefsvapour but I buy it in a concentrate for and mix it to my taste, so I get their juice but at a 80/20 vg/pg mix and at 3mg

For just that one juice buying premade I'd spend £5 a day so £35 a week (but I use more than one juice per day) doing it diy I can make 250ml £30ish and that last me about a month

Speaking of Chinese juice, I have never tried any. Have you? It is so tempting to order the jasmine when I see it on FastTech but everyone is so against the "ChinaJuices" that I just can't do it! LOL! They have some delish looking choices too. I would like to mix some of my own to vape just for us here, not to try and sell but I wonder how the gourmet flavors produce two, maybe three flavors? I have already ordered some concentrates for your typical flavs but I want the magic-recipes for the good-vape! LOL! I am a big custard fan too, my "go-to-flav" all day long!

No, that I have not. I'm too scared, too. If they'll thin out dog food with actual poison, and formula for babies with the same, I can't bring myself to do it. I see the "e-juice" they sell at the gas station in front of a Wal Mart; it's like 5 bucks for a quart. It seems to me 5 bucks a quart is what you must be getting. I DIY my juices. I couldn't sell it for those prices and turn a profit, no matter what kind of volume discount I was getting.

When you put it that way....yep, I just can't do that 'click" and buy! LOL! It makes me wonder how the vaping-scene is going in China. Do you know any good-go-to recipes for juice? Maybe a link that has a host of flavors or concentrates? I think I will try to start making my own, especially if I can find how to make those fab-flavs! I have been over looking at the AP and DA levels found in some popular juice-sellers and I think it may just be the way to go these days.

No, 'fraid not. I'm not that into it. I mostly make it to save the money, and I am a man of simple tastes. I like Flavor Apprentice cinnamon red hots, but I don't mix it at all, just add 10% and balance the rest with nic, pg and vg. I also do a clove at 18% with 8% sweet and a peppermint+sweet, same levels. I'm still working on spearmint-- can you tell I like spice flavors?-- and I have given up on wintergreen. I did want to try some citrus fruits next time I'm in an experimenting mood. But you're not ever gonna see me trying to work out a double chocolate mocha-java with strawberries and cream plus menthol or something.

HAHAHA! Me neither, probably! It sounds good though. I may stay with the simple concentrates and do the VG/PG blends, I do not use nic so it should be good enough. I do love a good strawberry!
