    If you Accidently Deleted your Blog, you might PM CW and ask if She can dig up a Backup from a Weeks or So ago.

    I already did. Was told that it cannot be recovered. I don't know who CW is but Retired said since the blog was deleted, not just the entry, it's gone forever. Blog entry is gone HEEEELP!

    I also sent a support email but never got a reply.

    Oh well, I'm on my way to getting it back up. Just added a couple more that I remembered.

    There is a DIY sub-forum (look towards the top of this forum) You will get more help there (or I could use my magical super powers and try to summons @classwife )
    VG, PG and flavors are no problem to get... nic is a different story (and I can't give you a definite answer about that) You need to know what VG/PG ratio and nic strength you want (and there are online calculators to help you with the measurements) I recommend BCF for flavors (bull city flavors) Basically (I'm assuming) you want pomegranate, mango and some menthol and/or mint flavors. Yes (after initial investments) making your own juice can save you lots of money (and be fun) but there is a learning curve... trial and error. Your recipe sounds simple enough to me.

    What strength Nicotine should I buy? 0-100 mg maybe 100 mg to save money?


    I usually buy my juice done with low nicotine 3 mg per 120 ml bottle

    100mg is the cheapest way to get it, plus it saves space in the freezer. You can buy it now but a month or 3 months from now it won't be available at all, so what you buy now will likely be all the nicotine you ever get. Good thing is it seems to last indefinitely in the freezer.

    how long can PG VG stay in a gallon container until it goes bad?

    should i put it in smaller bottles and seal it so oxygen doesnt get in every time i try to refil my 120 bottles from a gallon one?

    You really should decant your nic into glass bottles (boston rounds) and freeze it. I used to have links to buy bottles on my blog post before I accidentally deleted it. Haven't had the ambition to gather those links again. Maybe tonight?

    The smaller the bottles, the better. This way you just take one bottle at a time out of the freezer and use it up, keeping that bottle in the fridge as you use it up.

    I just got the ambition to add links to bottles on my blog post. Now the blog post is fully restored as it was before the deletion accident
    :rickroll:

    i see, thanks ......any specific temp in freezer? it wont explode since liquid form expand when frozen?

    Well, the lower the temp the better. Nic base in glass won't explode in the freezer as it doesn't expand because PG and VG do not freezer solid at the home freezer temperatures. They stay liquid. In fact, PG retracts a little when put in the freezer (not sure about VG but it doesn't freeze solid).

    PG freezes solid at around -72F and VG at about -100F. Even if those figures are off, your home freezer likely won't get any colder than about -10F, if that.
