When my delivery device gets funky I toss them and open a new fresh lovely. I deserve it and I believe it to be healthier that way. I'm talking about the devices that are disposables, not rebuildable nor rewickables. It keeps my experience clean, tasting great and me feeling great about my new habit.

That's awesome. I'm going to start referring to my atties and things as lovelies lol.

Several places. Last place was here: 100mg Unflavored Nicotine-PG

That's for 100mg PG nicquid that I cut down immediately to 50 mg. I mix it down to 25 or less by adding PG/VG/Flavorings.

So that's 120 ml cut to 480 ml or more for $34.99 not including shipping and discount coupon. I already had PG and VG and most flavorings. But you can get em there or shop around.

There are many good vendors. See the list on page one.

Also see the DIY section: DIY E-Liquid

EDIT: P.S. I used to not buy the 100mg stuff. But since I had a spare glass bottle from last time, I could cut it down immediately and it saved even more. So now I buy the 100 mg. Life = change. lol

I use Wizard Labs and get 100mg
100 mls $9.99
120 mls $15.99
250 mls $29.99
500 mls $56/99
and you can pick your PG/VG ratio, they are great and sell flavors TFA and LA $1.49 for 8 mls

Yeah I'm really guilty of that. Trying to find the holy grail I guess. I'm happy with the stuff I have but I allways want more flavor and vapor lol.

You contradicted yourself

Best secret - if you are happy, stop trying to chase down happy-er. The grass is only greener because of all the fertilizer you have piled on. :)

+1 on rebuildables and DIY. Both have saved me $$. While I agree in theory about the "grass is always greener" thing - I have a hard time putting it into practice. There is just so much cool stuff here :vapor:. Once of my resolutions in '13 will be to stop buying pv's. Thankfully, I got a good one in before the end of '12.

The best advice I can give is to read here for a few days and then decide what is best for you. I actually spent a week reading here before I made any decisions. The huge amount of info on this site can make you want to buy many different setups but you really only need to find what will suit your needs and stick to that. There is a progression on what you want to use but be carefull or you could end up spending alot of money and not use ½ the stuff you buy.
Also wizard labs is great. I buy my D.I.Y. stuff there and have had no problems with any of it. The only thing I would consider getting elsewhere may be some of the flavors. There are many sites out there that have better flavors. Find what you like and stick to it til you get bored with it and then experiment with other things later.

I have a few questions
I am looking to make a 50vg 50 pg 18mg nic juice in 10ml batches

Should I buy 100% PG nicotine 36mg (Clear, tasteless)
Then mix it with 50% VG and add flavor?


Is that how it works?
od is to

That's the easiest way....a 50% cut. It's a method I've recommended for a long time. It's easy because if you know the 1/2 way point in the bottle you are mixing you can just pour the nic base to the 1/2 way point and add flavorings and then the VG (in your case to get 50% VG). Or you could have added 50/50 mix to get 25% VG or topped off with 1/4 bottle of VG and then flavoring and PG.

Just note that the flavoring is part of that last 50% liquid you're adding. So if you want 50% VG you'd have to use all VG flavorings in your example. Most flavorings are PG based unless otherwise specified. Otherwise you'd throw off your nic result if you added flavorings after adding 50% VG.

When in doubt use an e-juice calculator and measure carefully. Or...use the 50% rule above, but throw off the 50% VG result, not the 18mg nic result. So you may only end up with 40% VG if you use 10% flavorings that are PG based.

Make sure that you only end up with 100% volume, not 110 % after adding flavors.

FYI that's one reason I'm doing 25% nic.... it's divides easily into 100mg base. But you can make whatever base you want yourself if you just use a calculator and measure carefully.

Reminder: Mix everything VERY well....including the base.
