Thanks jojo. I ended up buying them directly from CandleChem a little cheaper since I ordered a larger quantity.

People were right about their shipping charges going up from $5 to $10 but that's still better than US Plastics' shipping cost.


Hi GoodDog,
I was wondering, how many should I order to get a good deal?
i ordered some, but am running out of them again..........oy vei......

Like most large scale suppliers the price per individual item (in this case $/bottle) goes down the more you buy, but CandleChem is capped at 100 bottle packages for the bulk rates for most of the sizes. So, the maximum size available in the drop-down is the best deal, and you can sell/trade/PIF the extras if you don't feel you'll ever use them all.
 
I have a couple of question I've been wanting to ask for a long time.
why do ppl vape 0 nic?
does it satisfy?
when is it a good time to use 0 nic?

OMG! Well I am one of those people that vapes 0 nic, this just happened, it was not planned. On Feb 12, 2010 a friend told me about e cigs, I ordered a couple of the 510 kits, my plan was to help my sis get off analogs. She is 7 years younger than me and is diagnosed with advanced COPD.

I had no intention of quitting my 53 year habit at 2 packs a day. Well, I vaped for 2 days non stop, on day 3 which was Feb 12th, I woke up and did not want to smoke, I wanted my ecig. I started with 48 and 36mg juice, since that time my body just lets me know that it's time to lower the nic. I get a burning sensation in my mouth and feel like I'm choking, then I cough a little, I drop the nic down a bit and all is fine until I get that feeling again. Anyway that is how I came down to 0 nic. I really enjoy vaping and the flavors are great. I only order from TV now.

Sis has cut down a lot, from about 2 packs a day to about a half pack a day, she is really struggling but I know she is so much better off than before. In time, I'm sure she will get a handle on it.

Now, as for the sleeping, I now sleep like a baby. That was not the case before, I would be up all hours of the night, and when I did go to bed, I was very restless.

For 4 months and 2 days I have not had a single analog, I still have a pack of cigs in my car, one in the freezer and a carton in my outside freezer. I have no desire to smoke them so it's time to throw em out. Oh, and one last thing, I have lost a total of 13 pounds and have tons of energy. My hubby and I do gold panning and I can march up and down the hills with my backpack on with the best of them. Not too shabby for a 65 1/2 year old great granny, don't ya think?

A Big Thank You to this site and all who have helped me, I'm now paying it forward, helping a lot of people to get free of the analogs and enjoying life.

What's wrong with a little cherry mint? :p

Any flavor can be mentholated if you like mentholation, but when I do it I usually first think of flavored minty chewing gums like Orbit. There's all kinds of crazy flavors out there, recently I had some pretty nice Pina Colada Orbit gum and I replicated it almost exactly with Pinapple, Coconut, and Menthol Crystals. So if you like any of those flavors of gums you might try making it.

well fooey, i am trying this DIY thing.... i mixed a couple flavors, but the real problem is the syringe. the needle is to skinny to suck up the juice. and the bigger dropper i have when i put it in the flavor bottle makes the stuff ooze out the top of the bottle cuz it is too fat... any suggestions.
Also... I mixed these yesterday, tried a couple today and :blink: yuck.. I dunno if im doin it right , or if it needs to sit fer a lil longer?? HELP!

Do you have a larger bottle you can use and then transfer it to the smaller one? Or you could try letting the drop run down a toothpick and into the bottle opening or just hold the dropper up a bit and not touching the top of the bottle.

I can send you a larger needle if that would help.

What flavors and percentages did you use?

Okay so your problem is getting the flavoring out of the bottle? Sorry I misunderstood and thought your dropper was too big to fit in the top of your empty bottle. You can pour it if you're careful. I've done that before and it works. PM me you addy and I'll send you a couple of things that will help. I have some random size bottles that I don't use that I'll also send you.

With a dropper, try pushing out the air first and as you insert it into the liquid draw in liquid to displace the dropper's air space while you push it in.

If your needle is drawing it in slowly, you can try heating the liquid up in the microwave for a few seconds so it's not as thick. If it still doesn't work, you can try removing the needle and just using the syringe's wide opening. It can be messy that way so be careful. You'll eventually want wider syringes (smaller gauge #, 18 gauge or less). You can get them cheap with free shipping here, syringes sold separately from needles: Syringe Only

Also available at DIY Flavor Shack if you want to bundle purchase with other stuff.

OK...i tried to take out the needle but the bad boy wouldnt budge ..so i cut it off...plastic and all :blink:....but that wont help w/ filling cartos..lol.. a lil afraid of heating juices..arent they spose to stay cool??

The needles twist off. You can believe anything PureVapor says... he's a pro. ;)

Just heat it enough to thin the viscosity, about 5 seconds or run it under hot water for a little bit.

New Recipe i made today..and it's awesome :)

I made a 10 ml bottle and i aways just guess at my calculations so here goes

all are approximate :


7 ml Vg / Pg Combination of 50 % of each
1 ml 100mg nic

20 drops Capella Vanilla Custard
10 drops PA Bavarian Cream
15 drops Awesome Vapor Vanilla Eliquid


I like it strong and this is definately strong and my guessimations are it's about 10mg nic / maybe 11 since the Awesome Vapor eliquid was 18mg strength.
