I understand calculations and all of that, ive got a few recipes that i want to add nicotine to. Which i read will dilute some of my flavors.. but thats no biggy ill just bump up each % a notch.. but the question is.. if i buy this 48mg/ml (VG) nicotine from wizard labs.. will i have to dilute it?? or can i just use a syringe and go by what the calculation tells me to add?

My suggestion is if you don't know how to store it,don't buy it. Don't mean to sound rude but it's a very toxic liquid.I would buy 60 mg/ml max. Not worth the GREAT risk for saving a few dollars. I suppose dollars cause in europe there is a 72 mg/ml limit for vendors. Read a guys post who had bought 996mg/ml (!) and was complaining about headaches. He was aiming for 9% and got 90%...

60 isnt that toxic... unless you overdo it when vaping... you will get nic sic if not used to it tho... I vape 36nic juice with no issues... Ive gone as high as 50nic ( just to see) and got a serious case of hiccups... no real side effects occured, just hiccups.

as far as using the 48nic, use one of the calculators found on the net and add accordingly to your juice.

I've gotten 48mg/mL from WizLabs, and I've not noticed the pepper, but I mix down to just under 10mg/mL in my DIY. I just received some 60mg/mL from MyFreedomSmokes. Scored 2L when they were having a 20% off sale a couple weeks ago. That came in glass bottles. I'd previously ordered 250mL from WizLabs, and it came in heavy-duty plastic jars.

I work in a fairly open room - I don't use gloves or mask (for which I'll probably get chastised.) I just get my nic in my bottles and close it up quickly and get it put back on its shelf. DO take whatever precautions with which YOU'RE comfortable. Just because I'm a little "lax" doesn't mean it's the best way....

If you do the math - you will find that the 60mg is cheaper and better bang for the buck than the 100mg with a 120ml bottle.
Err, where you lookin' at?

Wizard Labs:
60mg, 120ml (7200mg total nic): 11.39
11.39 / 7200ml = .1581944(...) cents/mg

100mg, 120ml (12000mg total nic): 15.99
15.99 / 12000 = .13325 cents/mg <-- cheaper

...and then there's Nude Nicotine:
60mg, 120ml (7200mg total): 16.00
16.00 / 7200 = .22222(...) cents/mg

100mg, 120ml (12000 mg total): 19.00
19.00 / 12000 = .158333(...) cents/mg <-- cheaper


...so, from either of the two vendors mentioned in this thread, it's cheaper to buy the 100mg/ml nic than it is for 60mg/ml. The only way it's cheaper is if you're comparing the 60mg from Wizard Labs (.1581 c/mg) to the 100mg from Nude Nicotine (.1583 c/mg), but that would be a pretty meaningless comparison since they come from two different suppliers, and even so it's only a two ten-thousandths of a cent per milligram difference.

Yep, you are right - I looked up the price using an old price list I had on my computer - the prices used to not be so balanced and they have come down quite a bit. 100mg used to cost almost twice as much as 60mg. Better deal now...
