if it's pure nicotine then maybe not, it may be ready to dilute in u'r choice of either PG. VG, or PEG. but i don't know for sure. if it's not a mistake it's definately something you want to wear gloves while handling.

Gloves hell, I got sick just breathing fumes from 48mg, I wouldn't go near this stuff with out a face guard /respirator /fume hood and maybe some of those gloves that go up to the shoulder.:ohmy::D

Another expensive day......$50 for FA and cappellas from ecigexpress and $20 for molecules from PA (and some free samples at least). Sigh......

Now all I need to find is a place that sells glass bottles with reasonable prices. Every place I look either doesn't sell less than 1/2 oz, sells only in case quantity or costs me $13 to ship $11 worth of bottles....grr.

lol i know the feeling.. its funny how everyone orders juice.. but then usually people split into the "modders" and the "DIY'ers" groups.

I honestly can't find any reason to buy juice at this point. Even with a modest amount of experience, I'm able to concoct juices which are more than vapeable. All the "store bought" juices I own are pretty much relegated to emergency juice status.

I need to buy a kit or something I guess, I just imagine myself making unvapable trash and being ...... at myself for trying :p

Scubbadans calculator and some 1ml and 3ml syringes with blunt tips are the only kit I really need. Maybe some eyedroppers for flavors like LorAnne that come in bottles w/o them. Besides that, it's trial and error and keeping (fairly) good notes.

Sure, I tossed out some trash right off the bat, but once I experimented enough to know what flavor levels are needed, it's become easier.

I don't have a kit at all and actually made some pretty good juice for my first time trying. Used some Mcormicks Strawberry and Coconut flavoring, nic with pg and vg. It really tastes good! I am seriously thinking of DIY now ( I just got my .... kicked by the sale FSUSA had going on). I just ordered a few PA flavors and am going to give it a shot.

I think I will only buy an occasional vendor juice now for my tobacco. That is the one thing that I just can't seem to master. I think partially because I don't have the tobacco molecules as I can't stand the smell of them. Made me dizzy. I was one of the people picked by Linda to develop a tobacco flavor. Couldn't do it..as some of the stuff stunk so bad.

Other than that...all DIY for me. On top of saving money, I can adjust my nic, I can adjust my flavor, and I can feel proud of myself. It is like a hobby for me now. I have a whole setup now in the basement. I have a cabinet that is lockable and therefore, safe, dark and cool. Took me a year to get most of the stuff I needed.

Going to try Reo's Peach Melba recipe next (TV clone).

Once you get it Bahnzo, you are hooked. Creating your own juice is like painting a picture or a new food recipe ...it is a great feeling.

Got my Capella Double Chocolate (along with some FA stuff)....after just mixing, it's obvious this stuff has flavor. Have to see what it's like after 24 hours, but right off the bat it's got a good chocolate flavor.

I got some Vape Wizard also. Anyone have any experience to share with this stuff? When do you use it, etc? Or is it one of those things where you just need to put in a drop and see what it does?

Bah...you guys are wimps. I mixed my 60mg juice by pouring it in my mouth and adding PG and then spitting it into the bottle....:p
ROFL, now THAT'S hardcore!

Note to self: Don't accept PIF from Leanne or Bahnzo

I have a bottle right now that says "TV BLUE Cheese" I am so afraid to open that bottle
You people are a freakin hoot.

Going to try Reo's Peach Melba recipe next (TV clone).
That sounds good. Did a search but didn't see it.

I am really new to all of this. I joined the forum in august and spent nearly a month researching before I got my first e-cig about 3 weeks ago. Last week I launched into DIY and I am in love. I have always been a crafty person and I love to make things of all kinds. So far it's hit and miss. I created a passable vanilla coffee creation, and a few days ago I made the most delicious strawberry cheesecake liquid ever (IMHO) I love it, can't put it down. When I come upon some more money (college student living on grants) I want to try so many things!
