I have been doing DIY mixing and have mixed up some pretty tasty juice... hopefully gettin several Capella sample flavors will last a while.. I've always been a menthol smoker, but the premixed menthol I've been vaping is pretty strong and have mixing a lot of fruity and sweet mixes... actually getting pretty tired of the sweet stuff... any suggestions for a savory mix to balance out all the sweet??
Cost of vaping versus smoking

I spent about $300-350 a month on damn things.
Deciding to buy vaping toys a juice hasn't come close to that.
I vaped one full 10ml bottle of juice this week. That was 5 bucks.
I figure even with my penchant for getting obsessed with new toys that it's going to cut my costs by 2/3.
Now I have to figure out how I'm going to spend this new "found" money.

It's not really about the cost as much as the HARM REDUCTION from not inhaling hundreds of carcinogenic chemicals and carbon monoxide.
Besides there are hundreds of gadgets and different flavors of e juice. Then you can make your own. Even more flavor combos.
Face it u must quit your job and devote all your time to vaping and trying new flavors.

I spent around $225/mo on my PAD habit. Vaping has definitely been less expensive for ME. My husband handed me a mod he was no longer interested in, so that didn't cost me anything. So, the juice I've purchased has been my only expense really. That was $50 for 100ml of AVE Hype + $18 for another 12ml bottle at a local place. That juice will last me at least the rest of this month. Even if I add in 2 attys a month, I'm still way under what I was spending on analogs. So yes, vaping has been considerably less expensive for me.
To sum it up
$225/mo - Before
under $100/mo now

For me the first 3-4 month I spent alot on ecigs, now not so much. I found my perfect PV set up (GLV 2 SM) and make my own ejuice and buy some too, so my costs now are minimal. I would never go back to analogs, I love vaping way too much no matter how much it costs LOL bnrk
LOL bnrk
I used to inject my own smokes and paid about $7.50 a carton so i spent about $5.00 a week to smoke.
For me to vape costs about $10 or less a week if i buy my stuff online.. but about $19-$25 a week if i have to visit one of the many vape stores around my apartment.
I've cut down the cost alot buy getting 36mg PG with extra flavor then adding my own VG to knock down the nic level.

I've gone from $10.00 a day here (pack + 2-5 cigs) to about $1.00 - $2.25 a day in ejuice. If i could find a juice online I like that would come done even more.
It was always cheaper to use e cig for me. The dripping especially. One atty for about a month or so and 30 ml aof fluid. Total cost of 23 bucks for a month.
Depends on a lot of factors could get it done to a couple of bucks a day maybe less after the start off cost of a kit.
How do you freeze your juice? I'm just starting DIY juice and would be interested in knowing how to freeze the stuff. If I can make a juice I really like and then make a huge batch and freeze it??? That would be great! Do you put it in the small 30ml-60ml bottles and freeze them all and just take out one bottle at a time when needed? Or do you freeze in large batches, thaw and split it up at that time? What's the system you use? I'd love some input.
Glycerin doesn't freeze, but it gets really thick when 'frozen'. I keep mine in the freezer just to extend the shelf life. Juices are best when mixed fresh, but they'll be good for a month at least. Keep you nic base in the freezer, and then mix it as you need it; I do it in 30ml batches, which last about a week and a half.
Once you mix the flavor with the base liquids and the nicotine, they start to break down. Mix them fresh, but the components will keep for a long time if you store them correctly.
First month was pretty crazy for me, didn't find this site until I'd made about 4 poor choices, but now that I'm on the right track I've finally leveled out money wise (even with buying a new Roughstack+batteries+cartos this weekend), think I'm about to hit the point where this starts costing less than analogues lol.
I see someone further back using 100% Nic' to dilute down to appropriate levels. Is it as dangerous as many rant about? As in = when you open the bottle it will gas you, and cause instant death, unless in a fume cupboard, etc?
100mg Nic is not 100% - it is 10%... That is what you have been reading about.
It is dangerous and should be handled with care, but gassing you and or instant death is an exaggeration - it sounds like a misread (just a small one). Getting above that level would definitely require the fume cupboard etc. and even at that level adequate venting is required.
Even a lower Nic level could make a child sick as they do not have years of being exposed to nic as a long time smoker has.
There are many great threads in this forum on how to handle it properly. You need to read them to learn more before you jump into ordering something that you are not familiar with... Just a small word of advice.
Yes, and excuse my humour, but I have read a lot about handling Nic' juice, and I had a feeling it was much exaggerated in many other forums. I might be inclined to immediately add the same quantity of PG to it if I bought it, and then be down to 5%, before diluting further with the other necessary ingredients.
Personally , I don't use any special handling procedures or any gloves to refill or create my ejuice, just proper hygience, not to spill, wipe table and bottle as well as syringe after use, store someplace out of reach from my two kids then wash my hands with hand soap . It goes with me for a year now and well it goes good .
In St. Louis my cigs were $35 per carton and i smoked about 10 to 15 cigs per day. Honestly not saving any money on ecigs here, you east coast folks amaze me with your 8 dollars a pack.
