    So I'm looking to start making my own juice and have found a local online supplier. Question, when they say "base 120ml/mg" that is the nicotine, correct?
    I might be out of the loop on that number. Looks unusual.

    Where are you looking to purchase?

    Usually goes 48, 72, or 100.

    between here and there
    Nic in the US is listed as mg. ie. 100mg/ml. This means per each ml. We have to cut that down with pg/vg/peg400 in order to make vapable ejuice. There are plenty of free online ejuice calculators that can help you do that. You can also purchase nic in the strength that you vape, if that is your choice, but when you add flavoring it will reduce,slightly, the amount of nic in the ejuice.

    Not sure but doesn't Canada limit their nicotine to 72mg/ml. Doesn't matter to the calculator as you input what you have, it does the calculations.

    Your second shot shows the strength, 60mg/ml. The first shot shows amount - so if you select 120 ml there, that's how much you'll get of the strength you select, and in the PG/VG ratio you want.
    That makes sense, thanks for the reply!

    @VapourFlavour Yeah, it looks like 60 mg nic and the 120 ml is the bottle size.

    You can ask more questions in the Random DIY mixing thread or just start a thread of your own. You'll have fun and good luck.

    @VapourFlavour, read the header. That is 60mg/mL for nicotine strength. The "options" are strictly bottle size (how much you are wanting to purchase).... 30mL, 60mL, 120mL, 240mL, 500mL, 1L, are all bottle sizes. Any of them will come filled with 60mg/mL strength nicotine.

    You also will need to select your preferred base type: all PG, all VG, or a 50PG/50VG blend.

    And, just as a side note... You can do a lot better on price, shopping at a DIY focused web site. Here is just on example:
    Heartland Vapes
    The link is just for their sample sizes (120mL). They offer larger 1L sizes (even cheaper "per mL") under the "Nicotine" tab.

    EDIT: Oops! I just noticed you are in Canada. Shipping, and import restrictions, may make Heartland not a good choice for you. It still wouldn't hurt to do a little investigating.

    Maybe, someone familiar with Canadian vendors, can suggest a more appropriate supplier. :D

    Thanks for the info!

    Those prices are some of the cheapest I've found for DIY here in Canada of I bought the biggest size for $70 Cad it would be the equivalent of $53 in USD.

    That's what I do. If I vape the eliquid straight, I'll get close to the labeled 24mg/ml of the juice. Depending on the amount of flavoring(s) I add, the nic level goes down a bit. The PG/VG ratio changes slightly as well. At least, this is what the online calculator I use tells me.

    I have ordered from them in the past. I would not order from them again (no matter what their price is). I have ordered from Hydavape and Fusionflavours and have gotten quality product from each.
