what is everyone's opinion on nic that has already been pre-mixed with PG/VG? Are there any reputable places that sell good pre-mixed nic?

a couple places.. right off the top of my head - BUT, there are reports of so-so nicotine (as in bad smells / taste) that I can not say has been resolved or not.. look for the long thread "nicotine comparisons"

myfreedomsmokes offers 100% PG, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 100% VG * normally I would recommend them, but as noted above, check to see if the issues have been fixed..
somewhere else I have seen that also offered 80/20 and 20/80 in addition to the blends that my freedomsmokes has, but can't remember where I saw them..

I mix my own and use nicotine from vaporshots, but there's is nic-select and what I am reading, nic-select is having the smell/taste issue also..

Kinda leaves you with wizard labs (not heard anything about them having issues) but they only offer 100% PG, 50/50, or 100% VG
and
Nude Nicotine (again, not heard anything about them) - they offer in 100% PG, 70/30, 50/50, 30/70 and 100% VG

I've just recently ordered from three nic juice vendors, my freedom smokes, wizard labs, and vapor world, based on the word around here lately I assume wizard labs will be the one I'll use but that is as yet to be seen as I've not received the nicotine liquid yet.

I am on my first DIY round, I decided to go with 48mg/ml strength. I'm not particularly worried about its toxicity at that strength, but neither am I throwing caution to the wind.

Take care to work clean and methodical, and all should be well in the world.

I wouldn't be suggesting you mix while your drunk or high, or in the throws of some massive allergy attack, but just keep your wits about you as you are making a mixture you plan to inhale.

This seems like a good place to ask this question..

I got my 100mg nic from wizard labs in a pg base, because I read that the shelf life of nicotine and pg is about the same.. while the shelf life of vg is not as long. Anyone know if that is true?

not sure if this link will work or not --> http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/search.php?searchid=22482213

if that doesn't work, here are links to some reading on storage:

I buy from DIYFlavorshack because they are near me and shipping is usually one day. Not sure how this stuff takes 6 months of 100+ days as far as transport and sitting in the mailbox. Don't need a heat steep. We don't need 100 bottles of unused juice sitting around so I don't think I'll be buying in gallons to save money. I keep it simple. 100% PG with nic, 0 nic VG, mix 50/50 and order the strength at double the end result that I want. Strong flavors at 5-10%, weaker at 15-20%. A little less nic in the end is ok since we tend to chain vape. Eventually I will probably get som 0 PG and start doing 1/4 mixes for 50/50 or 1/3 with 33/66.
