Yea i have my wicks even with the top of the juice ring. If its below at all now and have a thick wick i can dry hit. Trim a bit and good to go.
Perhaps. I am using Lex12 and ZigZag menthol juice from the gas station.
I know I shouldn't be, but The nearest vape shop to me is like 40 miles away. One of the many downsides to living in the boonies.
Hard to do with limited funding. Still better than actual cigs. I'm down to 1 a day, from 2 packs a day.
I feel you on the limited funds. however:
How much is the Juice from the gas station?
How many mL?
Just menthol, or would you describe it as menthol plus something else?
$5.99 for the Lex12, $6.99 for the ZigZag. Both taste pretty decent. Definitely a stronger menthol taste than the Modster Ejuice I bought from a vape shope.
I also had a bottle of Millenium Potion "menthol". But that tasted like double mint gum. Not bad, just not what I was looking for.
How many mL per bottle?
and is it just a straight menthol flavor (kind of like the way Vicks Vapor rub smells, or is it like a sweetish menthol
10ml bottles. They last me about two days a piece.
As for flavor, hard to say since I end up mixing them all together. The lex12 is menthol like Vicks Vapor rub, with a slight creamy undertone (sounds weird, I know). The ZigZag is pure menthol flavor.
so in reality you're looking at
$12.98 for 20mL
You could make 160mL of 18mg Nic of a straight menthol juice using wizard labs =)
Sub-Total: $15.36
Total: $23.51 After Shipping
I'm certain of that. However convincing my parents to let me spend that kind of money at once, is another thing. Especially if I can't guarantee that I will like the flavor etc. (shouldn't be a problem much longer. This is my last week of IT classes with ECPI, should be getting a decent job soon)
Any links? What do I order, just the flavoring and the nicotine? Or do I need to order PG and or VG?
Flavoring, PG, VG, Nictoine(in PG) doesn't include bottles, but you could in theory use your leftover 10ml bottles.
As far as flavor, thats why I was curious if their flavors were STRAIGHT MENTHOL or some menthol Plus other flavoring.
I quoted basically straight menthol, so if you are certain ZigZag tastes like Pure Menthol (unsweet just a cool tingly feeling more so than flavor) than it could work.
If you make a 12mg with 70pg/30vg using something like this Flavoring % might need to be adjusted
You would have 160 ml of 12 mg straight menthol juice
and have
40mL of concentrated nicotine
94.4mL of PG
72mL of VG
1.6mL of Menthol "flavoring"
left over
Menthol Flavoring 10% 8ml :
Menthol Liquid 10% Solution PG Flavor Concentrate by WL (0.27oz)
PG - 120ml :
Propylene Glycol USP - 120ml
VG - 120ml :
Vegetable Glycerin USP - 120ml
Nicotine 24mg - 120ml :
24mg Nicotine solution - 120ml
EDIT: You might also need AT LEAST 1 syringe to measure and put into the bottle.
More is always recommended, so you don't contaminate each bottle, but you can also in theory rinse the syringe between each part you add.
Also I'd highly recommend at LEAST 18GA blunt needle for the VG, that stuff is thick and your hand will cramp while waiting for it to fill the syringe.

Thank you. I was looking at a guide about mixing your own juice, but all the math was confusing me (I hate math lol). Much simpler when you just use one unit of measurement in my experience.Flavoring, PG, VG, Nictoine(in PG) doesn't include bottles, but you could in theory use your leftover 10ml bottles.

I was looking at this guide: A Guide to making your own e-juice
Depends on the math I suppose, but there are E-Liquid calculators online and also available on the iOS Appstore(at least there used to be) and the the Android Play Store.
Usually as simple as
Input Concentrated Nic value
Input Desired Nic Value of juice
Input PG/VG ratio
Input flavoring percentage desired
Input total desired juice size (if you want a 10mL batch, enter 10mL)
Now whether or not you like your creation, thats another story. But if you get into it there are some decent recipes online (google e-liquid-recipesDOTcom)
