Elektra Juice - Brand new in Canada

You just have to be discreet about it when dealing with Paypal ... thats all. Dont be an idiot and you wont have any problems.

Unfortunately as retailer you do not have this option. Discreet for a customer who spends maybe $100/month on PayPal is practical. If you are moving 10X in 1/2 a day, you will get attention, and you will get shut down.

Hyperwallet is an option/alternative with some credit unions.

The old timers are the most stubborn. The ipod generation is much more keen... even the non smokers!

I am with a Credit Union also and have been with them for 16 years, no need to change banks when there are other suppliers with other options.

I'm with Desjardins Credit Union. Already tried calling to see what they could do to help ... Notta, Nothing, Zilch. I wont be switching though as all my accounts, insurance, mortgage, etc. is with them. Too much hassle.

UPDATE after one day:
Day old kanger 510 carto is still pumping vape like mad (24mg pg). Not super hot like yesterday, but still nice and hot.
The LCD batteries are pooped out in 1/2 day for me... my 1000mah and 900 last just under a day for me so I guess that's about right for a 650mah batt. They charge almost twice as fast too though, so that's alright.

I got 1/2 dozen flavors too and some non-flavored 24mg - which I really want to try

Has anyone mixed Elektra stuff before?

Their website says the 7.5 ml flavor bottle does 6x30ml - but a previous poster said 25% (!)

A hint like "XXX drops Elektra flavor in my XX ml bottle works for me" would be cool

Some flavours are stronger than others . I used their Havana flavour and ended up adding more . I had made 30ml and used most of the bottle for it . Well at least 1/2 of the bottle for it so if it is a 7.5ml bottle I probably used 3ml . they seem weak to me normally I would had about 2 to 3 drops per ml so I would have added 60 to 90 drops at 20 drops being about 1ml that would be 3 to 4.5 ml . I had used 3 but then added 1ml more later . So a 7.5ml bottle would flavour 2 30ml bottles for me .

 

[Bdbodger]

I don't know where they get thier info from . Most DIYers I know use 10% to 20% on average . So 30ml it about 3ml flavour . I don't think the flavours they are selling are more concentrated then what the other vendors are selling .

Okay - I couldn't wait, lol. I picked Grape. I haven't done grape for about 4 months, so it's "new" to my tastebuds now.

recommended ratio: 7.5ml does "6 x 30ml" = 7.5:180 = 1:24
1:24 -> can't really tell it's flavored
2:24 - juice smells like grape, just a hint of grape taste
3:24 - more hint, I think

That was my last fresh atty - so I just added a good double shot to the last one and used it again, at least 5:24 or 6:24 ratio now

I can taste some grape now. It's just OK, still not anywhere near Dekang factory grape flavor.

It appears Mindfield was right ( post 55 ) that you need at least 25%, likely more.

24mg unflavored, is going to be 18mg at best once flavor is added. Hmm...

I'd love to hear some input from someone else who's tried it... unless they start selling 36mg unflavored, I don't think this is going to work for me.

 

[RjG]

Bdbodger - Thanks for answering.

I was writing my post as I went, so I didn't see your reply until after.

Yep, I totally agree, the recommended ratio is wacked, lol.

1/2 bottle of flavor to 30ml is 2.6:24, that was barely tastable for me... at least for Grape.
Maybe I just picked a weak one to play with tonight.

I'm pretty new to vaping so if I sound like a total noob forgive give me.

I ordered my set of 4 flavors that should be here Tuesday. Interested to see what does happen as far as how much we need to mix in. I guess I'll just mix up 5ml batches and see what happens.

I wonder if the juice is a little stronger than 24mg to make up for adding flavor? Are you guys not getting any info from Elektra with the flavors on how much they recommend to add? I thought I read on their site that they were going to provide that kind of mixing info...but from what I see in this thread maybe they don't?

Are we pretty much at the conclusion that a whole bottle of flavor is needed for 30ml? What does that drop 30ml of 24mg juice too in the end for nic content?

Not sure I'm liking this mixing your own thing too much and I haven't even tried it yet.

 

[RjG]

It won't be stronger NIC than it says on the label, guaranteed
Not a whole bottle - between 1/2 bottle, and a whole bottle, depending on which flavor
Elektra says "The bottle size is 7.5ml and should be enough to flavor 6 large bottles of ejuice." It's a fantasy,unfortunately...

If NIC base starts at 24mg, and you water it down 25% by adding 6ml flavor, then the nic goes down 25%.
24-6 = 18mg

 

[Bigwave]

I get what you're saying but I'm a little confused, isn't it a 30ml bottle, so adding 6ml of flavor is reducing nic by 20%, and not 25%...or am I getting something wrong in the math?

My math is saying 6ml of flavor added to 30ml of the 24mg base would be 24mg nic minus 4.8mg (20%) for a total nic strength of 19.2mg with 36ml of total juice.

There's some weird math to all of this for sure. I might be wrong.

Who knows what the PG\VG ratio ends up being in the end when it starts at 70\30....my head hurts...lol.

my bottle says 24mg after mixing.....

How much Flavoring do they tell you to mix into it?

 

[wood]

alot less lol doesnt suprise me in the least

 

[r4nd0mCh40s]

How much Flavoring do they tell you to mix into it?

thats the thing, they forgot to tell me how to

 

[RjG]

24mg/ml, 30 ml in the bottle

30ml x 24mg = 720mg nic total in the bottle
----------

add 6ml of flavor, now you have 36ml
720mg / 36ml = 20 mg/ml liquid
----------
add 7.5ml of flavor instead, now you have 37.5ml total volume for your 720mg of nic
720 / 37.5 = 19.2 mg/ml liquid
----------
I said 18 earlier, I guess my math was a bit off there too, lol

Either way , it is a substantial dilution, very noticeable if you have been vaping 24mg for several years like me.

r4nd0mCh40s - my bottles say "approx 24mg after mixing" too. But if that is calculated with their formula of a couple drops of flavor per bottle...
