Introduction

[CheesePizza]

Hi everyone!! I'm new to the forums...been strictly vaping for almost a year. I wanted to introduce myself and also ask a question regarding diy e-juice.

I vape almost constantly in my free time, and even at work, I pop into the bathroom 8-10 times to vape. My co-workers probably think I have an over active bladder or chronic .........

Anyway, I feel like I spend way too much money on juice. I have a vape shop I go to for my juice and I get 39ml bottles from them for 17.50, which only lasts about a week. I believe the best solution to this problem is making my own juice. I don't even know where to start as far as ordering. Anyone recommend a place that's inexpensive and quick about shipping? Also, I know I need to purchase pg, vg, nic and flavoring, but how much? I want enough to last me awhile but not go bad before I get to use it. When I order the pg/vg, are those sold separately or already mixed 80/20? I've been shopping around for nicotine and I see it in all different strengths. Should I get 100mg/ml so I can make it as strong or weak as I want? One more thing, should I also consider building my own attys? Any advise would be great. I'm hoping to place an order this weekend. I have a bottle and a half of juice right now so hopefully I won't run out before my delivery gets here. Thanks!!!

Howdy @CheesePizza, welcome to the ECF!

Firstly, the DIY E-Liquid Forum will be of GREAT use to you. Loads of resources, recipes, and other fun stuff related to DIY.

A lot of people use EcigExpress as they seem to have good prices on VG/PG/Nic. There's a long, LONG list of Lorann Flavorings but check the DIY forum for a list of approved flavors. Some of them have ingredients that aren't really great to be inhaling (or their effects are somewhat unknown), and there are some that simply aren't soluble in PG/VG. Additionally, there are plenty of flavorings available at Wizard Labs and The Flavor Apprentice. Again, do some research on which flavorings you may want to avoid, or which aren't soluble in VG/PG.

You can buy your VG/PG separately or mixed, and some people even buy it with the nicotine pre-mixed in. Depending on the quantity you're looking to acquire it may be more/less expensive to do so.

100mg/ml nicotine is probably the safest (still exercise caution, this stuff can be toxic) to go with, and easiest to acquire. Usually it's suspended in PG, but there are places where you can get it in VG. Pure liquid nicotine is 1000mg/ml, and it's quite dangerous (and hard to acquire). I'd say 100mg/mL should suit your needs juust fine.

In terms of buying pre-mixed e-liquid look for better rates online. An example is Bombies. A local shop sells the 30mL's for 17$. If you go online and buy a 120mL you can get it for 50$ (saves you about 11 cents per mL).

I'm sure others will chime in with suggestions in no time. Hope this helps!

Hello and Welcome CheesePizza
after 5 posts you can go post and such in the diy thread
DIY E-Liquid | E-Cigarette Forum
pg/vg are available at many places. i find it easiest and the best value to get 100mg nicotine.

hello there by the looks of your flower it would seem you are in the states which I am sure is a good thing for nic fluid I am in Canada and it really is quite a bit pricier here and strictly speaking you don't have to have flavour if you don't want to . i make a plain juice with just nic fluid in pg and vg it is actually not bad or at least mine is nice. I have bought lots of flavours too some I haven't even used yet another possibility is to buy the ejuice you like at a higher nic concentration say 24 mg and dilute it down with pg/vg the nic would be reduced as would the flavour but you may find you enjoy it just fine I did that with some of my vader pudding am really glad I did a lot of reading on the DIY forum the blogs and stickies are very helpful there are also online ejuice calculators google it and you will find some it is fun and I like doing it and it is very cheap once you get a few supplies ahead
