That's what I was thinking but I was using a vamo 5 that ran at 1.8ohms and I kept it at about 4.2v

I just bought a ragnarok mech mod and a Aqua v2 by tobeco the dual style Atty and plan on running it single coil at 1ohm and then bought a Tobeco orchid v3 rba for a dual coil tank build so I can switch between a dripper and a tank for work

I don't wanna sub ohm or go for insane clouds I'm a everyday smoker who quit and I hope I can stay at my average 60ml per 3 weeks ..

Ofc if I get 240ml at the same price as a 50ml at the local shop is be fine but I'm not sure how much a mech mod will differ juice use wise compared to my vv vamo 5

If assume a bit faster but since I've never tried one I have no clue

What's a vaper to do when they can't chase flavors?? :)

( If Mt. Baker Vapor shuts down during their move, I believe they use Wizard Labs nic which is available on their own website.)
Just an ex smoker that wants to get off the tobacco train

I stopped smoking and bought the vamo 5 about 6 months ago I smoked for 15 years or so I can now wake up and breathe and I even recently started running around the neighborhood with my 2 dogs

Vaping has made my life so much better. To me if I want a smoke then I want a smoke if I want a banana I'll eat a banana lol

No offense to any I see Vaping as a life Savin tool in my eyes it can also be a fun hobby too and that's why I bought my first mech...now if would all only get here lol been waiting 2 days feels like a month already haha

Worst part is it's from 2 different sites people here advised me to and I'll trust their judgements so I just hope it gets here close to each other cus if only 1 comes I can't vape till the second gets here hahahaha

    I have tried more than several vg bases, finger to tongue and essentialdepot.com is the best imho. 60$ for two gallons shipped. At least is was...

    That's good to know that there are indeed differences. I've read that most if not all VG is all made at one factory and relabeled.
    I usually just get mine where I buy my PG nic base, which has been WizardLabs. Tested theirs yet?

    Yep I love wizard labs but then I tried capellas and then essential depot. The label from essential depot says USP food grade non-GMO with a minimum purity of 99.7%. Now is it placebo or did I prefer it....well I though it was totally different from capellas that is better and I ran out of the wizard vg too fast to remember. Essential depot was far cheaper and better than the capellas and the stuff from a local shop I stuck with essentialdepots. They have free shipping deals randomly, right now its 48$ for 4 gallons of vg. I think the shipping is 38$ to Idaho. Thats .67$ per 30ml bottle when broken down. Add 15% flavoring from heartland vape where I pay .36$ per 30ml of vg for the good stuff and Im looking at $1.03 before nic which if you go 100% nic and mix it is probably less that $1.10 per 30ml bottle. Now you have to buy the bottle........and the boxmod with new subtank and batteries.......more more more.

    I don't vape completely without flavour but I use just a tiny wee bit of flavour. And always the same.

    ...
    I simply cannot imagine using more than about 0,5 percent flavour (or even less) and as a matter of fact, I could stop that tiny bit too.

    Exactly the same for me.
    I hate chemical taste of flavorings. I avoid buying food with food flavorings. Real food is much tastier. Take, for example, raspberry. Flavorings use raspberry ketone to imitate the taste. Granted, raspberry does have raspberry ketone in a berry (but natural, of course). But even if it is the main thing in a berry taste, it is only one of the many things. Imagine listening only to the first violin instead of the whole orchestra. It will be boring if not annoying. The same with vaping raspberry ketone - very one-sided and bleak experience. But when it is very diluted it gives just a hint of a raspberry, and then it is pretty vapable.

    The same thing for me with cinnamaldehyde and all the "cinnamon" flavorings. Sure, it is in cinnamon, but like you said about raspberry, that ain't all it is! When I bake with actual cinnamon, why does it never burn my mouth?

    p.s. I never found a raspberry flavoring I liked and I tried many.

    I see people selling their flavored e-juices in the classified section, claiming they now only vape "no flavor" juice. I have seen other members casually mention it here on the forums too. Please tell me about vaping unflavored e-juice? Why would a person decide to do this, and what does it taste like?
    I give up on flavors,after a day or 2 they would lose the taste,some would smell terrible says my wife.the prices for flavored juice is ridiculous,so I figured I'd venture into DIY,after getting the nic solution I filled the tank with the unflavored solution,I have never looked back vaping strictly unflavored now.to me it is as close to a cigarette taste as you can get,not that I want a cigarette,its just a good taste,not sweet nor bitter .
    To me it's a no brainer,I am down to 6mg Nicotine which I purchase at $25 for 1000ml,add up what you pay for 1000 ml of flavored,I don't need the bells and whistles,just the Nic.

    Where is the best place to purchase bulk unflavored say 70/20 or 50/50

    I don't know my preference yet as I'm only really getting into Vaping

    I don't care for flavored juices at most just some menthol all I care about is my nicotine ,just like a few of you said , we didn't smoke flavored cigs (I was a marb light smoker but for some reason prefer extreme ice menthol while Vaping)

    Long story short what site is the most trustworthy / for the price bulk unflavored juice vendor

    And on average what are rough prices
    Wholesale Nicotine Solution for eLiquid Heartlandvapes Wholesale

    I LOVE my flavors, love constantly trying new stuff, but I'm interested in trying unflavored for the heck of it. Too bad there's no way to just buy a little bottle. You would have to diy unflavored correct?

    you can get smaller amounts here (just put "none" in the boxes.) not sure what shipping would be though... Custom E-Liquid

    you can also search that site for "unflavored" for a few other options. I bet other companies have it in small amounts too.

    Not sure what mg/ml you use? Or what PG to VG Ratio you like.

    But some people who use Unflavored just buy Low mg Nicotine base. Something like this...

    12mg Nicotine solution - 120ml

    BTW - You could probably walk into about any B&M and buy a Bottle of Unflavored in about Anything you want.

    Hmmm, maybe I'll stroll into Goodejuice soon, it's been too long anyway. They're gonna give me a bunch of crap, I used to be there twice a week lol. It's a slight interest. I really love my flavors, I wouldn't want more than a 10 ml just to try. Oh I use 3mg mostly, keep one tank of 6mg for now with my last couple bottles of 6.

    That's what's cool about having a B&M near by. You can Walk in and Walk out with what you want.

    Let us know if you do get some Unflavored locally. I'm curious what they will charge you. As compared to buying 12mg/ml Nicotine Base and some PG/VG?

    Will do. May be a little while. I'd like to have something else to buy also when I go in. I'll feel bad just popping in for the first time in 2 months for a bottle of Unflavored lol.

    It's Funny.

    Because I know the Owners of 3 B&M. And all of them Don't like to sell Unflavored.

    Because with Unflavored, the Price they want to Charge is Not Comparable with the Price of the Nicotine, PG and VG. When you buy their Flavored e-Liquid, Part (most) of the Price you pay is for their Recipe. But Unflavored is just Nicotine Base.

    And when People see that they can make about 360ml or so of Unflavored for about 20 Bucks, it Hard to put a Lot of Profit on that if you are a B&M.

    I am vaping DIY unflavored. I quit smoking 3 months ago and still can't taste flavored e-juice. So what's the point of paying $6 and up for a tablespoon of liquid I can't taste? For $30 I have a several month supply. I can always add flavoring. In fact, I added a little menthol to my tank when I filled it this evening and it tastes as good or better than any premixed I've vaped. If you don't want to DIY, check out Nude Nicotine or Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers. They both sell unflavored in larger quantities in several vg/pg/nicotine ratios.
