Health Cabin, DIY e-liquid ...Help me out

[souvik]

Hi guys, I am new at DIYing e-juice and was planning to place an order with Health Cabin, but the site info has baffled me, please help me out here.

According to my knowledge..ejuice is made up of the following.

1. PG / VG ( this produces the vapor)
2. Nicotine (this helps in overcoming the addiction)
3. Flavor ( to make it tasty)
4. Distill water or alcohol ( for diluting the PG/VG)

So in my opinion..PG/VG + Flavor, should produce the vapor.. is their any other unknown ingredient required to make E-juice that I need and am unaware of?

Because according to their information in the PG section of the DIY liquid, #3 says that PG + Flavor cannot produce any vapor?
the same is said about VG in #4.

Here are the URLs
115ml PROPYLENE GLYCOL USP(PG) [Z6 PG] - $3.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail ----FOR PG
115ml Vegetable Glycerin USP (VG) [Z7 VG] - $3.50 : Healthcabin Electronic Cigarettes - Wholesale and Retail ----FOR VG

You would also notice that the 0mg nic unflavored 115ml bottle is priced at $17.99....and the PG or VG bottles are $3.5 for 115ml. this difference in price cannot be for just adding distill water/alcohol. what is that unknown ingredient that is added in the unflavored e-liquid bottles that is causing this difference?..Or am I missing something vital here in the DIY process ?
Please help me out here guys....this is all too confusing for me to begin with

Thanks

I DIY my juice. So heres the deal. PG by itself will produce very little vapor. VG by itself will produce massive amounts of vapor. PG juice tastes crisper, VG juice tastes muted. PG is very thin and vapes easily in all cartos, tanks, ect... VG is verry thick and does not vape easily in many cartos, tanks, ect. full strength. This is why most juice is a PG/VG mix. Mostly PG with up to 50% VG. Most people prefer @20%VG. This is just enough to get plumes of vapor, but not mute the taste to much.

I DIY straight VG with flavor, vinager, and a bit of distilled water. Need more flavor this way, and the vinager helps pop the taste.

Any PG/VG mix is gonna work fine, and produce vapor. No secret ingrediant needed.

Good luck.

Hey Thanks Los...that's a load off " NO SECRET INGREDIENT" ...So with PG and VG being as low as $0.3 for 10ml I can surely go for a 36mg level e-liquid and cut it down to any desired level at a fraction of the price that I have been paying for premixed juices...

Yep. DIY is soooooo much cheaper, and not that hard once you get it. Be carefull not to get the nic. juice on your skin. Wear gloves, and enjoy your extra money. There are some great threads here at ECF under DIY master techniques.

I still remain baffled at the price difference between 0mg nic 115ml unflavored e-liquid at $17.99, and 115ml PG or VG at $3.5 ....are they not the same thing ??

To answer your original question........Nicotine is added to PG or VG or a mixture of both in what we call a base liquid..that's the $17.99 bottle. The other cheaper ones are just plain VG or PG with no nicotine, thus the cheaper cost. Good luck and make sure to visit the DIY section of the forum.

Thanks Sidetrack...then how would we justify the price of 0mg nic PG or VG base? Is it not the same thing as plain PG or VG ?
