Sorry to bother you Uncle Junkle, but I did the math on cost for different e-liquid options and I thought you would be interested:
Yeah, it's just not a good plan to wait and see if things get worse. They will likely only get worse because in the USA that has always been the case with vaping. And there's no guarantee you'll get any ample notice with time enough to stock up. So many people on here and reddit have come out of the woodwork after years of just thinking everything was just going to stay the same, wondering why they can't get this and that. It's all because they cannot read the writing on the wall and don't understand the relationship the US govt has with tobacco and the lengths they will go to to keep it out of our reach (but cigarettes are easy to get). I and other have been stocking up on vape gear and nic base for many years now. The writing was on the wall many years ago for those that have eyes to see.
- $25.00 for 120ml - Buying pre-made juice in my local B&M store
- $9.70 for 120ml - buying a gallon of NicVape 6mg juice (total price is $306 for the gallon). Will make 31 -120ml servings. No VG/PG or flavorings factored in.
- $5.10 for 120ml - buying a liter of 25mg nic juice and VG/PG for dilution (total price for all ingredients is $212.34). Will make 41 -120ml servings. No flavorings factored in.
(864) 288-2188 and they will special order what you want. You can then pick up at the store probably in a week or two after the order. I just called them and they were still willing to do it for me.
Thanks again for your help.
For me, flavorings cost is negligible. For 120ml of peppermint juice at 6% flavor (it's just a 1-flavor juice) the cost of the flavoring is $0.61 (at the 4oz price of about $10). Others that are into more complex profiles may spend more, but probably not a huge expense even for them.
For sure. It also would save freezer space and # of storage bottles needed.
That's not too bad a price for a B&M vape shop. I've seen online prices for 120ml of juice at $35+. I don't know how common that is, though, as I'm out of the loop when it comes to premade juice. For most of my vaping career, I bought cheap juice by the liter from places like Heartlandvapes. Something like $50/liter is the most I ever paid for ejuice once I stopped buying anything from local B&Ms.

I have always used 100mg nic base, and normally get it in 500ml bottles.
Historically the price has been about $10/100ml.
PG & VG I buy in 1gal jugs, and it cost me $10/gal (on sale when buying a "4 gal pack")
The cost of flavorings is minimal, but it depends on what you want.
However it's been years since I've bought anything. (The nic base I'm using now says it "expired" in 2014)
So freezers work wonders!!
When mixing, I use a KISS method.
50ml of 100mg nic/PG
150ml of PG
200ml of VG
------------------
400ml of 50/50 mix @12mg
And I just use a Pyrex mixing cup (Who cares if it isn't exact)
Then I just store it in a pint Kerr canning jar, and that will last me 4 months +/-.
Then when I put it into 30ml bottles to use, I will add about 1ml of flavoring.
bea-bea That's all folks .........

Maybe prices have gone up a touch since last you bought, but ya, the prices and the process you mention are spot on. I used to buy 6mg juice by the gallon but it really does make sense to go to a higher nic juice. I probably will end up with the 100mg juice (or maybe the 50mg) which will last me over a year. The 25mg will last me over a year. Since I can pick it up now I am going to go ahead and order before they change their minds. Thanks.
NicBase.com (Delosi Labs' nicotine site) costs $77 per liter of 100mg - shipped.
Total shipped price for 1 liter of 48mg (they don't have 50mg) would be $62.
Your shipped price might be slightly lower since you live much closer to FL than I do, but maybe only buy a couple dollars.
That's a lot cheaper than NicVape and you don't have to drive therefore no gas, wear and tear or time expenditure.
1 liter of 100mg at NicVape is $120 and 1 liter of 50mg is $96.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any Delosi nic but I have never heard bad things about their nic. If I needed more nic, I would be buying from them because of this and also for the price.
Thanks Uncle Junkle, those prices look fantastic, I appreciate the tip and help.
