THIS SOUNDS COMPLEX BUT IT'S VERY SIMPLE AND I HOPE I CAN HELP YOU!

I just thought I would share this with everyone.

Don't you all just hate paying £15+ for premium liquids that only give you 30ML of liquid, that can only last a few days depending on whether you sub-ohm or not.

What I have been doing for a while now is simply buying 500ML of 70% VG and 30% PG from amazon which costs a measly £10 (It is the equivalent to 17 bottles of 30ML juice which would cost you £255 to buy)

I then bought some nicotine for £10 which lasts me a very long time as I only need 0.3MG to 0.6MG (You only need a few drops as the premium liquid already contains nicotine, but as you have added some PG/VG you may want to add another 5-8 drops of nicotine, or more depending on what strength you want)

After that you can then get your favorite liquid and put a very small amount into another bottle and put in the PG/VG and then you can shake it, and it is ready to vape!

This means that your 30ML bottle can be a 200ML bottle (Depending on how much flavour you want per bottle)

I vape it at 80W and don't even notice a difference in the taste.

Or alternatively you can buy flavor concentrates, but you can be waiting weeks for it to steep properly, I have liquid that I want to vape but have to spend ages waiting for them to taste right.


I hope this helps you make your premium liquid last a lot longer.

p.s. If you spent £15 on a bottle of liquid and fit that into 200ML you would be saving about £90 including the cost of the PG and VG. Also... Sorry f

Regards,
Molto

I guess you would need a bit more flavouring then, but you could still get a good 100ml out of a 30ml bottle, which saves you £45.

So you don't suggest using a ejuice calculator, you just pour a little of this and that and I'm guessing your 10.00 $ nic is 30 mg/ml, so you just "kinda" know what your finished nic level is ?

Seems like if you are going through the trouble of mixing/diluting, etc... why not just go full blown DIY juice? Seems like that would be just as cheap or cheaper and you can have all the flavor you want. :2c:

It would be, he's just buying pre made and cutting it and seed steeping..............

If you go full blown DIY, you can never get the same flavour that some of the premium juices offer you see, I have flavour concentrates and steep them correctly but they are never as good as pre-made ones.

    ^^-- You must be better at it than me. I had to try a lot of premade flavors though to find maybe 5 that are great.

    The problem with this dilution idea in MY experience is that I can do nice subtle flavors but when I try to get that strong flavor of the best, something goes off. Otherwise yes, there are juices that have excess flavor, at least in quantity vaping. But the only way dilution won't lose a lot of flavor is if the juice is overwhelming or if ... you steep the new mix a long time.

    I'm more likely to range between a flavor and unflavored than mix them together. Or just DIY juice and still occasionally enjoy a pro mix. Sometimes when the DIY flavor combinations go off the rails, a couple drips of a good known juice will straighten everything back out.

    The last expensive bottle I bought was 4 months ago and I'm still using it. It's too sweet for high output devices, though. Still bought some less expensive stuff (I-95, GeJ).

    The only real "trick" I learned, is that if you try to copy something pre-made... you'll most likely fail at it. You might still make something delicious, but it very likely won't taste like the thing you're trying to copy. My biggest success was strawberry & cream, because I had never tried any ejuice of that flavor, so I wasn't trying to copy anything -- and after nearly a year, that juice is still my ADV. Now, I've tried other strawberry flavored vapes, at my local shop... and none of them are as good as what I make.
