new member intro and a juice question

[Icarium]

Hi e-cig forum members

i've been lurking for a few weeks, learning about things
i bought an evo and received it a few days ago
i'm happy to say i like it and have ordered more spare parts
also ordered some usb 801s and lots of juice too to give vaping a chance to replace my cig habit

i smoke 25-30 cigs a day now and am trying to transition to vaping but find it isn't cheap for canadians
everything is in US dollars and shipping adds a fair bit to the final cost
in the end, its all about getting off cigs though isn't it

the ultimate goal is to ease the transition to a non smoker
i don't know that this can really happen though cos i've smoked for the vast majority of my life
started smoking when i was 13-14 and am now 48

i drop about $50 a week for my cigs at costco since i found out about cheaper brands that entered the canadian market a few months ago
i used to buy them for $73 a carton before that

i've spent about $400 in the last few days and hope to receive everything soon to give this experiment a fair chance

i've ordered some strong juice, hopefully stronger than i can handle
hope i like it, wil be trying flue cured and ry4 when it arrives
i'm hoping to cut it with pg/vg to lighten the nic content where i can still get a throat hit but strech the juice a bit for some savings

can i just add pg or vg directly or do i have to thin it with distilled water too?

You can just add it directly. You might want to check out Liquidxpress.com. They sell the flavorings that go in the commercial liquids we all buy so you can make your own. This may also help you:

2ml 36 + 1ml VG/PG = 24mg
1.5ml 36 + 1.5ml VG/PG = 18mg
1ml 36 + 2ml VG/PG = 12mg
.5ml 36 + 2.5ml VG/PG = 6mg

29.6ml = 1 ounce

thanks wv2win

i looked at many juice threads and didn't come across that
i'll check out liquidxpress more thoroughly next time i want to order juice
