Hi all, my wallet has been pretty tight these days and along with all the hype of looming regulations on liquid and nicotine, Ive decided I want to try my hand and DIY and maybe stockpile some ingredients incase of said regulations coming down.

My question, Is there a site that you use that have everything I could possibly need for DIY? Im talking pg, vg, nic, and flavorings along with all the equipment for sale. I hate having to make profiles on numerous sites and hopeing theres one site that can ptovide me with all I could need for a reasonable price. Thanks in advance!

Wizard labs or ecigexpress is probably your best bet. Bull City is where I get most my flavorings. Those are the 3 I mostly use. But you can look here also, because sometimes one place will be out of one ingredient you need for a recipe. If you go bulk there are options too.

Not much to add here, just +1ing Bull City or Wizard Labs. I find the nicotine Nude sells to be cleanest, personally, but I've also used Wizard's stuff and it's totally fine. WL is great as they have absolutely everything you need for DIY.

In addition, there's a shop literally called "One Stop DIY Shop" that's OK but I prefer BCV, Wizard, or Ecigexpress.

Ok i will look at those thanks! But as far as vg, pg, and nic its pretty standard? My only confusion still with all this is what strength nic to get. Typically i like 6 or 8 mg in my juices, so would it matter what strength nic i bought if i diluted it properly in the recipe?

First, you USE a JUICE CALCULATOR. With it you can use any strength nic. I asked some of the experts before I started and they all recommended the 100 mg, and to use a calculator. If you pretend it's caustic like drain cleaner, don't get it in your eyes, let children around it, and keep the pets away it's probably the best way to go. When I've gotten some on my hand I just wipe and rinse, no issues. 100 mg nic hasn't concerned me, and it takes a smaller bottle.

PG and VG are pretty standard. You can get USP grade PG at Tractor Supply ($23 a gallon, plus they stock syringes both in the livestock section), and VG USP grade (8 ounce) at Walmart and drugstores (look in hair products, skin softeners and first aid). I buy the PG and VG in bulk (gallon) and use wide mouth canning jars to keep out smaller quantities for use.

Personally, I'd actually recommend against 100mg nicotine if you're just starting off. If you're careful I'm sure you'll be fine, but a lower concentration is just all the more safe until you're used to handling it. Nicotine is a poison and it's particularly important to treat it as such when starting with super-concentrated nicotine solutions.

It really doesn't matter what strength you use if it's diluted properly, but as long as you're aiming for 6mg, why not get 60mg/mL nic base? Not everyone has nicotine in every concentration, but Nude certainly has 60mg/mL and some other places do, too. That also makes for easy calculations, when you're aiming for 6mg in the end. 1mL nicotine per 10mL of juice, 2mL of nicotine for 20, etc. I've been DIYing for years and I still use 60mg because it's marginally safer than 100mg and I almost always make 6 or 3mg juice, so easy as pie.

ETA: I didn't realize but Wizardlabs also has 60mg/mL nicotine.

Thanks guys. Thats a good point about making it easier to calculate how much nic. Im not too concerned with the dangers of it. I work with a number of hazardous chemicals at work so I understand the precautions that need to be taken and will certianly do so. I just didnt know if it would effect the mixture in different strengths differently but seems to be that it will not.
