I get my nic PG and VG from My Freedom Smokes. Good stuff. Decent prices. And if you sign up for their emails they send at least one coupon code a month. Last one I git was 20% off, which made one bottle of PG or VG basically free. They have a decent starter kit that you can customize too. Prices on flavors are kinda high though.
in suggestions for websites for flavors

either way why would you not go for 100mg instead of all the other mg. levels they offer..??? if your gonna mix yourself, it seems to me it would be better an more affordable to by it in 100mg because it would last 3 times as long??? am i thinking right here????

It's mostly the fear factor. Most people think that 100mg nic base is far more dangerous than it really is. I've seen more than one member here claim a single drop will send you to the hospital, which isn't even remotely true.


For those wanting to know the math, 100mg base has 100mg of nicotine per ml. There are roughly 20 drops of liquid per ml if you're measuring with a dropper, so a single drop of 100mg base only contains about 5mg of nicotine. The absorption rate through your skin is pretty slow, it would take somewhere around 10 minutes for you to absorb all of the nicotine from a single drop. You would basically have to let it sit on your skin until it was dried, and even that isn't going to do much more than make you feel a bit ill.

So if you keep a damp paper towel handy as you mix, and you happen to get a couple of drops of base on your skin and wipe it off immediately you're not going to feel any effects at all. Even if it takes you a minute or so before you wipe it off you're unlikely to feel anything more than a light buzz from it.

But PLEASE make sure you keep it away from children and pets. It's one thing to get a couple of drops on your skin, it's an entirely different matter if you lick or drink it.

When I first started thinking about Diy I didn't know what Nic strength to get, my research told me that 100mg was a little dangerous to work with...a year later after watching SXD's video on how he mixes his juice I realized that people were making the whole process for complicated than it had to be, and if you were careful 100mg Nic was not at all dangerous. Also for me it's easy to do the math in multiples of 10.
