Which one do you buy your nicotine from ?

The last batch I got from ecigexpress, but I've used wizard labs and Vaportech nicotine before. Nude Nicotine I've heard is also good. Personally my nic level is so low in my juice that it really doesn't make much of a difference to me.

@Sir2fyablyNutz has the quickness with the links. Check all those out. They're legit. I have used some of those and when getting started in DIY you need all the help you can get.

Good luck and welcome.

E cig express is where I got my stuff last time. Decent prices but shipping was kind of expensive. They have a decent selection tho

 

[dcfluegel]

Do you have the website or links? I've been reading so much by so many sites.. You just don't know which one is good

Will grab links and post when I get to desktop

Also does it make a difference where you get your PG and VG? Trying to find the best place. Don't want to have to buy it all over again if it's not good

I got initial pg, VG from essentials Depot, through Amazon and it worked fine... Switched over to nudenic VG though, as my juices are 70% VG and I like their quality better

I always use nude nicotine for my Nic, VG, and PG it's the best I've found and Capella and the flavor apprentice for flavors

Hello @Bre . I get most of my flavors from Bull City, Wizard labs, and Ecigexpress. Essential Depot has a nice sale on pg/vg if you are thinking of buying gallons. I get my pg by the gallon (USP Grade) at Tractor Supply, which also carries a nice selection of syringes (livestock section). Here are some helpful links:

Good luck in your DIY journey, I am having fun with mine

Question??? When it comes to flavors what is better to order concentrated or dilute?

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

Question??? When it comes to flavors what is better to order concentrated or dilute?

I started with mostly tfa brand. It seems to me there is much more information available for use with tfa. I do have a dozen Capellas and a few Flavor West and LorAnns (usually when a specific recipe calls for them), and now I am using the concentrated Flavor Art about 1/4 of the time (also due to some recipes).

Each manufacturer has their strengths so I would be hard pressed to give you an opinion on which way to go. Flavor West seems to be the most diluted to me, Capellas and TFA are in the middle and FA is one of the most concentrated (Inawera is highly concentrated).

I would suggest finding a half dozen recipes you like or think you would like, then look at what they take (manufacturer) in the recipe.

Ok so I should order concentrated? I'm sorry lol I just want to get the best flavors so I won't be disappointed

 

[Nokosa]

The more concentrated a flavor is, the less you'll need to use. The more diluted the more you'll need. Like Sir said find a few recipes you'll think you'll like and just go from there. Read reviews, take what people say into consideration as far as percentage of flavor is concerned, and mix up a small batch. If it's too weak, add more flavor. If it's too strong use less next time. It's all about mixing to taste. Most mixes will require steeping, however. Some more than others. Just follow the recipes suggestion.

 

[dcfluegel]

i would recommend finding a couple recipes - as Sir2 suggests - and starting there - get those flavors, maybe a couple others that interest you... i tend to stick to concentrated flavors, just because i feel like i get more mileage (can mix in lower percentages, ratio wise, and have more tasty juice to vape...)

and breathe - it's a journey, not a destination

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

These 3 vendors are the ones I use the most. They sell strictly for vape. Finding a few recipes is the way to go first. If you don't, as we have seen others just buy what they think looks good, then making a recipe often makes them have to order more for 1 or 2 ingredients they left off because they don't have what they need. It's best to know what you want to make (example Strawberry Milk, Blueberry Muffin, Strawberry Cheesecake, Unicorn Milk, etc. etc.) before you order.

When you ask about concentrated I don't know if we have the same understanding. Some brands are more concentrated than others, but to me they are all concentrated. I'm going to suggest you start with TFA and Capella, as they are the most similar in concentration. I can give you more info on TFA than I can the others. For example here is a tfa percentage chart : http://www.v-ecigs.com/tfa-flavor-percentage-recommendations/

If you can say what juices you like or what flavors perhaps some of us can suggest recipes and look at how we can use the different brands successfully.

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

Here's an example. Supposedly this is the recipe for Cuttwoods Unicorn Milk. I don't know if it's accurate, but I made it and it's a decent recipe.

Cuttwood Unicorn Milk Clone or real? (all Capella)
Butter Cream 1.5
Graham Cracker 0.5
New York Cheesecake 0.5
Sweet Cream 1.5
Sweet Strawberry 8.5
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 1
Vanilla Custard 3

7 different flavors to make this recipe.

My husband like fruity and menthol I also like that but one of my favorites is peppermint. So most of the fresh minty flavors
