Health Cabin Concentrates

[ozydevil]

Hi all, I am from Australia and new to this forum and have been lurking for a couple of weeks now and thought I would show myself to ask a question i am seeing conflicting info about. I still have a number of questions regarding vaping but will start with just this one for now.

I have seen different people stating different percentages for using Health Cabin concentrates. Some have said 5% and others have said as high as 20%. These could just be personal tastes with such a large difference though.

My question is does anyone know whether Health Cabin concentrates are super concentrated or diluted down a little bit for sale?

They are diluted. I use mine at the 20%...thats also what they recommend on their site.

I always mix at 20% but also i only use EU sourced concentrates, i believe health cabin is chinese and i have heard some horror stories about chinese e-liquids. I do not know myself if they are true but i will only use trusted concentrates for now.

Thank you singu, I haven't seen any recommendations on their site and didn't want to start out too strong if they weren't.

I like their own premixed juices but I am at the stage to try their concentrates to have a go at the daunting task of DIY.

I have heard some vendors have the super concentrated ones and with seeing 2 different strength recommendations I wasn't sure which one to start with.

You can start by adding drops rather than a batch i found this which helped with the quantities as a rough guide. i altered to 20% concentrate because it suited my taste better. If you put more concentrate you take away the vg by the same
50 Drops 54mg PG nicotine
40 Drops PG Diluent
45 Drops VG Diluent
15 Drops Concentrate (10%)
this produces 5ml finished liquid at 18mg strength

Which ones do you like/have? I only have tobacco ones..RY4, Desert ship, 555 and USA Mix. I like 555 and RY4 is ok i guess.

Yeah that was my worry, at 5% it is only about 1-2 drops per ml, so say I just went with 20% suggestion first and the 5% was correct, damn it would have been strong and a pain to dilute down again. I have some nicotine coming from the US and hopefully they will arrive close together.

Unfortunately only really fruit and drink ones on the way with this order.

I find the "creamier" ones often taste burnt no matter how low a voltage I use. My wife doesn't want me to vape tobacco juices for some reason and while she is not complaining about my constant purchases at the moment I will abide by her wishes lol

If they suggest 5% then i would start there, like you said its a pain to dilute but easy to add more, it shouldn't dilute your nicotine content too much. Have you ordered pg and vg dilutant. If your using 100% vg you will probably need some deionised water to thin the vg. Or you can use vodka if you have none.

 

[ozydevil]

Yes I have PG and VG for the doublers I have been getting. I have seen people state both the 20% and 5% for health cabin concentrations which I put the difference down to each person having their own tastes.

You are right though, it would be easier to start at 5 and build up if needed I guess.

I also have a small bottle of the 36mg nicotine coming with my order but I am looking at buying it in bulk.

Does anyone have any suggestions of the best place to buy it in bulk?
