Finally done creeping

[ORV Gentry]

Hey guys!

I always catch myself reading these forums and finally decided to make an account and contribute. I've been vaping for a little over 2 years and also been smoke free since this time last year. I'm currently in the Navy getting ready to separate in a few months where i'll be moving back to Cleveland.

Hello and welcome to the forum ORV Gentry. Glad to have you here!

Thank you for your service in the Navy. What are you using to vape with? How does the Navy treat vapers?

Here are some links to get you started on the forum.

Right now I currently use a SMPL (copper) with Freakshow atty. Seems to hold up pretty well, i've always liked the recessed button mods for safety reasons. The navy more or less frowns upon vaping, they treat it just like smoking cigarettes, at least my command does. It used to be alright like 2-3 years ago. You'd be able to smoke in your workcenter (i work in a welding shop so ventilation isn't an issue) but now that everyone practically does it, they make you go out to a smoking sponson to take a few hits. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I do have a question for you though, I plan on making my own juice. I've bought some flavoring and a small 235ml bottle of pre-mixed 3mg 20/80 PGVG from baker. I was looking online and figured i'd need more pre-mixed stuff and came across NudeNicotine? They have this stuff:

"3mg/mL – 36mg/mL Nicotine Base

Our pure nicotine base solvated in USP grade propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), ready to be flavored. This is the purest nicotine base on the market, and each quantity comes with certificate of analysis (COA), guaranteeing its purity. Click here to view our most recent certificate There is ABSOLUTELY NO taste, so flavor away to your liking and enjoy! These dilutions of nicotine base are perfect for the formulator who prefers to deal with lesser nicotine concentrations than 100mg/mL. Dilutions remain simple at this concentration and is a much less volatile solution to handle We also ensure each package of our nicotine base is adequately packaged and safely shipped to your door. For more information on the anatomy of a Nude Nicotine package, click here. Stay up to date with nicotine base stock information – subscribe to the Nude Nicotine Chemist’s Corner Newsletter to up-to-date product information and status alerts "

And was wondering if it was the same thing, like I just put this stuff in a 30ml dripper and add flavoring? I'm very new when it comes to making my own stuff so I don;t wanna buy all this stuff and then turns out i ordered the wrong thing :/

p.s. sorry for the long quote it wont let me post a link to nudenicotine

The most important thing when using a hybrid top cap mech mod is making sure the pin of your RDA/RTA is long enough.

If you order the 3mg/ml nicotine base from Nude Nicotine it should be the same concentration as what you bought from Mt Baker Vapor.

3mg/mL - 36mg/mL Nicotine Base.
Plus Nude Nicotine is known for not having a "peppery taste". http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/298547-nicotine-comparisons.html

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. You will not be able to post there until you get in your first 5 posts and the servers update at :25 past the hour. Lots of great info in all the "stickies"

Welcome aboard ORV Gentry, and thank you for your service!

You'll get some great info from the DIY thread, but long story short, you'll slightly lower your nic and will dilute your PG/VG ratio when you add flavorings to your unflavored base. If you mix up 10mL where 20% is PG flavorings and the rest is your 3mg 20/80 base mix, you'll end up with ending PG/VG of about 36PG/64VG and a nic level of 2.4mg (80% of 3mg/mL in a 10mL mix) (10% flavoring would yield 28PG/72VG at 2.7mg/mL nic, and 30% flavoring would get you 44PG/56VG at 2.1mg/mL nic, just to give you an idea) I get 100%VG nic at a much higher level than I want my ending mix to be and then dilute with 0mg VG or PG/VG. If you don't have a lot of storage space, you might even get 6mg unflavored VG nic and let the flavorings dilute to a closer PG/VG and nic level you want.

Read the blogs by Hoosier, Dannyv45, and even Bill's Magic Vapor. Hoosier and Danny have lots of tips and tricks and things to watch out for while mixing. Bill has a ton of recipes and recommendations on what is considered High Flavor Mixes (HFM). I have made a number of his recipes, and they are pretty much ready to go right away (don't need to let them steep)

Good Luck, and come home safe and soon!!!
