Need DIY guru help!

[Landhew]

I'm about to venture into the cost-saving world of DIY. I've found I really like peach or peach cobbler flavored juice, so I thought I could make my own and save some $$$.

I'm a bit afraid of nic juice as I have 2 small children, so I will be getting the lowest mg nic juice I can, which looks like around 25%. I want to DIY 2mg nicotine since I'm at 6 now and trying to wean down. I like about a 60/40 pg/vg ratio. I downloaded the DIY calculator, but I'm lost when using it. I'll be getting Lorann's Peach flavor.

Can a guru on DIY give me a breakdown on amounts of everything to use to make 10ml of 2mg 60/40 juice?

I hope I've included enough information! I can bake a mean cake, but this DIY juice stuff is confusing!

I'm certainly no guru but maybe this will help until one comes along. I don't know which DIY calculator you downloaded but here's a link to a super easy one. Just plug in your ingredients and it gives you instructions on how many drops/ml you need to add to obtain the nic level you want. It also contains some recipes.

eJuice Me Up - e-Juice e-Liquid Recipe Calculator bottom right of the page to download.

My brain is not functioning at 100% tonight and I wouldn't want to give you incorrect amounts. I'm sure someone else will be along to help.

I understand your concerns about nicotine liquids and kids but, lets face it, there's dangerous stuff under your sink.

Treat your niq liquid the same as anything else that is potentially dangerous with kids (your guns, razors, hand tools, knives, cleaning chemicals - whatever) and keep them somewhere safe and secure from young, prying hands.

That said - you say you want 2mg nic liquid? Sure? that's barely anything...
But lets assume you start with a 24mg unflavored liquid at 100% PG, and a 100%PG flavoring base (used at 10% concentration). For 10ml finished juice, you will need to mix:
1ml flavor
0.9ml unflavored nic liquid @24mg/ml
4ml neutral VG
4.1ml neutral PG

Taken from the calculator mentioned above

Thanks ya'll! I think I'll be OK with 2mg. I tried some KBV Escape that says it's 2mg on the bottle (I got it in a trade). I did fine all day for 2 days with it. I think I don't need the nic so much as the hand-to-mouth.

2 mg/ml nic? Never heard of such a low level!

2 mg/ml will never satisfy a nic craving. Just go no nic if you don't need it and protect your children.

I use this calculator and it is easy to use eJuice Recipe Calculator

I suggest finding a place out of reach to your children to lock it all up. It may be hard to drop down to 2 mgs for sure Good luck!

It's working fine for me.
Started at 18 mg in March. Down to 2-3 mg.
I use the Ejuice Me Up calculator Bekah54 mentioned.

Liberty-Flights sells a good unflavored 24mg PG nic juice 30ml for $8 (with the 20%off)

They also sell VG for around $6

They also sell flavorings, I see that peach is in stock (perfumers apprentice) also be sure to pick up a bottle of "sweetener" flavor.. it is down below the peach listed as sweetener flavor.

Shipping is $3 and the nic juice comes in childproof bottles. After purchase, you also get to review the different items that you purchased, giving you a .50 credit for each review.. towards future purchases.

If you order, be sure to click on the 20% off on the upper left hand side of your screen. They are a great company to deal with and ship fast. They have great prices on Egos, Rivas and cartos.

Good for you cookie! I should have done this.

I started at 18mg last July. By December I was at 0mg & have been ever since. My last step down was from 6mg to 0 and I had supprisingly bad cravings for a couple of weeks.
