Low Mg. Juice and Out of Stock Issues

I just started vaping this week and am still just tinkering around trying to get used to it. I have searched several of the sites recommended on the board to purchase juice but find that many of them do not offer the lower mg. liquids (6mg, 11mg). I have also found that 18 mg. is the minimum found in pre-filled cartriges across the board. Most of the merchants that do offer the lower mg. juices are out of stock or only offer them in larger sizes. Being new to this I do not want to invest in a 30 ml. bottle and find that I do not care for it.

Can anyone reccommend a merchant that offers the lower nicotine juices in the smaller sizes and is also good about restocking? Going through the merchants I was frusterated by how many of them were out of stock on items. This caused me to purchase supplies from two different merchants, thus paying two shipping fees. Is this something that is a continuous issue with all of the merchants? I just want to be prepared in the future. Thanks so much for any help and advice!

Try the Lite cig forum. Good juice in a 10ml size. I think his lowest is 11mg though. My Vapor Store has several sizes and is almost always in stock. Another place for very good juice.
The reason most of them are out is twofold. The FDA and customs are stopping shipments. (they order big amounts..we order smaller amounts and slip throuh) When they do have lots of stock..we buy it up fast! That causes another shortage. believe me it's not shoddy salesmenship. I have yet to have a bad experiance, even if something goes wrong, these guys fix it!
The rule of thumb is try a flavor in a sample or 10ml bottle and if you like it...get a BIG one!
If you don't care for the flavor, try adding a couple drops of Lorann's candy flavors to it. Still don't care for it..combine two flavors! Like coffee and cream, chocolate and vanilla..whatever. A lot of people swear by adding some menthol to a weak or not so good flavor, will bring it to life for you. Also try adding some tobacco flavor.

Thanks for the help. I understand the stock issues now and will be sure to load up on stuff when the opportunity occurs!

I don't mean to sound nasty, but you're not reading the Forums, and doing research. Buying low nic juice is not always the way to go. Read the DIY liquid Forums. You'll find that if you buy the highest nic possible, you can cut it to your desired level and have a lot more juice for a fraction of the cost. I buy 30ml of ultra high nic, and when I'm finished, I have about 120ml of my favorite strength for the price of the one high nic bottle. And flavoring is the easiest thing to do.

I am reading the forums and I am researching. I just started vaping and am finding my way around it (I believe I said "tinkering" in my previous post). Initially, I just want to buy the juice in the different strengths to find a good fit for me. Once I try them out I will have a better idea of what works for me and may just take your advice about cutting the juice myself. As of now I am just trying to get comfortable with the very basics and want to keep it as simple as possible. I am not trying to be nasty either, but just because I am not at the time choosing to do things the way you do them does not mean I did not read the forums and do research. It just means that I have decided on what I feel is the best option for me right now based on my comfort level. I read the forums for 3 weeks before I even decided to purchase and then another week to decide on the model I wanted. I understand that many people here make their own juice, but I am not there yet.
Anyway, thanks again to everyones responses. Next week I am going to try and put down the analogs for good. I really do feel sorry for my family and the monster they may have to deal with for a bit. I would say wish me luck, but it's probably better if you wish them luck!

You won't go through too much with e-cigs..it just takes getting used to. I believe your family is safe!

We do get quite a few on here who don't do their due diligence and just dive in. I am glad you took the time to read up. There is a huge learning curve. I am 4 months in and learn new things everyday.
Now Smile and vape.......exhale already!:p
