Opinion time! For those of you who DIY - my "ideal" nic level is actually 15mg. Does it make more sense to buy 36mg and 0mg PG/VG, or to buy 18mg and 12mg?

I need to spend some time with a DIY calculator, but I'm still on my first cup of coffee.
The answer to this is complicated, but an answer can definitely be found. First & foremost remember to take into account all variables. Then consider the facts as you know them. After much consideration, & soul searching it must be said that your answer lies within these parameters. And so I give you a definite, maybe yes, maybe no.:blink:


It must also be added..............this banana cream pie is really good.:p

Mia, your pup is GORGEOUS! :p

I've been wanting a a special juice to vape for special times, just a high end juice that I had on the side, not an official rotation juice that I get tired of after a few weeks. I looked around, but they all seem to be duplicates of MBV juice with the exception of the high price... I've bought some high end juice and it's been pretty much 'Meh' to me... I actually sat through a show with a couple of high end juice vendors and one said his juice was MADE FOR DRIPPERS and wasn't a hearty flavored juice with RBAs or clearos :/ Well, of course I didn't buy his LOL Drippers are for testing a steeping juice in my case... once it's prime for vaping, I put it in an RBA or a carto tank.

So, I took a TOTAL SHOT IN THE DARK... I ordered a 236ml of MBV's 'Rob' after reading pretty much glowing reviews. I discount many reviews that start with, "tasted like carp right out of the mailbox - I won't be buying from MBV again...' blah, blah, blah.

You have to know what mods, toppers, VG/PG, flavor shots, and steep times are necessary for each juice to get the MOST FROM THEM.

Anyway, I took a shot in the dark and am now wondering if any MBVers have had this watermelon, melon, lavender juice called 'Rob'. Reviews on steeping times would be appreciated =] I also got some Razzle Dazzle and Red, White, and Blue just in case XD

Thanks lisa! he's a goof.
you're insane ordering 236 of anything right off the bat LOl i love it.
I have two other 'premium' vendors that are more costly than mbv that i'm frequenting lately, and a stockpile of another premium vendor. I only get 3 juices from one, and like 3-4 from the other, but I'm loving them, and must have copious amounts of them. I'd make some suggestions, but I don't think you really vape the same flavor profile that I do.
we've missed your face around here!

I need to spend some time with a DIY calculator, but I'm still on my first cup of coffee.

Buy the 36mg nic solution and 0mg PG/VG, then use this calculator to tune it down to 15. You will need a way to measure your liquids. You can get cheap graduated cylinders, which is what I use. DIY is not hard at all, but it does take a small investment to get into. If you are going to make your own flavors, I suggest making small, single flavor batches. Let them steep, find what you like, then tweak your recipes. There are a lot of good recipes out there already you can emulate, but the most fun is coming up with your own. And there will be stinkers, trust in that.

I think the 36mg + 0mg option would make the most sense as you can measure it down to whatever mg level you want, but the biggest factor for me would be that if you are ordering from MBV, the 236ml bottle of pg/vg with nic is $29.99 and the bottle of just pg/vg is only $7.99, that's a lot of savings :)

I've been around, just not much to say on my end =] Most of the time I catch up a few pages and hit 'last page' if it's just general chat =] Saw something about a stalker visiting MBVer pages and kept reading until I was sure it wasn't ME LOLOLOLOL I creep around sometimes, catching a bit here and there, move on to return another day if there's not much I can add =]

Anyway, I branched into pastry juices because of you, so send me any info you want =] It's hard to find someone that has the same flavor profile or preferences that you have, but you are pretty close to my own, I just haven't branched out as you have! :p

That's awesome man, back in the place and sounds like your almost back up to where you started.:toast:

Thanks, it's good to be back in my place! I made 3 DIY's last night, but dang it, they have to steep a bit, but not too long with the exception of the Hazelnut, the Rainbow Sherbet should only be a few days and the Green Apple, well will see. :toast:

I'm looking for opinions on the best place to buy a Provari. Unexpectedly large Christmas bonus has given me an itchy trigger finger...

Sorry little late respondin' to this, catchin' up again...
