Making sure I have the right stuff to start diy

[my4jewels]

I am just double checking here primarily about pg/vg.
I have been following advice on ecf and I think I have what I need. Here's what I have.

1 gallon 100% pg from Tractor Supply Store, brand name Ideal Animal Health. It says on the label "for animal use only". Also says " for use in the prevention and treatment of ketosis(acetonemia) in dairy cattle. Ordred it from another location of their store for $21.99.

I also have 1 gallon of Proctor & Gamble Superol Veg Glycerin, USP, FCC, 99.7% glycerin.99.7%. It also says food grade. FREE from pgchemicals.com.

Do this sound like the proper stuff to use in my diy mixes?

And, yes, I also have flavorings and nic juice.

looks like you're good to go. Do you have any sweetener?

Personally, if the PG is not labelled 'USP' I would be a little wary of it. Just because it's OK for cows doesn't mean its OK for homo sapiens.

 

[my4jewels]

The pg is labelled USP, I missed that because I was trying to relay so much info.
Yes, I have 3 different sweetners, ethyl maltol, Ez-Sweetz, and TPA sweetner(also sucralose).

Also, syringes for measuring, dropper bottles from 3mm to 70 ml, latex gloves, protected work surfaces.

Sounds like you're good to go. Have fun!

After you get going for awhile you might want to check into a couple of larger pipettes and a pipette pump. Syringes get old fast. I've not bought from this vendor (my pipettes are glass), but the prices looks good.

I've bought from THAT vendor (lol) and they were great- threw in some freebies. Even wrote a personal note- quick shipper too! Catch 'em during a sale, they have good ones.

Are you going to add water to the mix (like the vg?)

 

[my4jewels]

I have distilled water and pga if anything needs thinning. I have heard that pga (in tiny amounts) will add a bit more th when cutting down nic levels without adding taste or effects. I see in several recipes that I want to try. Does anyone know if this is true?

So far, I have successfully done a little diy with unflavored nic juice in my strength by adding some simple flavorings, I have some 60mg nic juice on order, so it'll be my 1st experience cutting down. I have my calculators on the ready and, luckily, I've always been good at math. I'll be making a diy recipe book for personal reference after I get some experience. I just need to find the time now to really get into it.
