Happy Monday everyone!

I started making my own juice a couple of weeks ago, and so far; they're pretty good. I have a couple of friends/neighbors who also like them, and I'm happy to make them. But it seems like a big waste of time to make each bottle individually if they are the same flavor, unfortunately we are all on different Nic levels.

Can I mix the pg, vg, and flavorings together at once then add the nic after dividing into separate bottles? I don't think there would be a big difference between my 16 and my neighbors 12, but my friends 6 might be pretty potent in the flavor department. Maybe add the difference with pg to dilute the flavor? Does that sound plausible?

And to any newbie DIYers like myself, congratulations on wearing your gloves and protective eyewear, but be sure to keep them on even during clean up! I took my glasses off while rinsing my syringes, even watered down nic solution burns like HELL if you splash a drop in your eye!!!! I thought I was being so careful, but a split second of carelessness led to 5 minutes of rinsing and flushing and a very red eye!


Thanks for your time and any help you can offer.

If you do this, it will Effect the Flavoring Ratio. Which will probably be Very Noticeable. What might be Better is to make "Pre-Mix" for the 3 different Nicotine levels.

Premix is when you Mix Nicotine Base, PG and or VG to a mg level that is Higher than the Finished mg level. Then when you want to make a Flavored e-liquid, you just Add Flavoring.

Thanks for the advice, I think once I start making larger quantities, the premix will work well for me. Right now I am still experimenting with all these flavors I bought and just making 5 -10 ml bottles. I don't know how long the pre-mixed solution lasts since I only make a few at a time. Today's big winner was juicy peach+ cream cheese icing + piecrust
YUMMMMYYY!!!!!!!!
