Good to hear; now don't worry, it's not at all hard to get started easy; all you really have to do to make a quick and easy cut in cost is to get VG (glycerine) and PG (Propylene Glycol) (Both USP grade), and you can mix them half and half, and that's the basic base liquid.
And you can use that to stretch the liquid that you buy.

I want try VG only, flavoring and no nicotine. This is where I'm getting conflicting information so eventually I'll post my question on a different thread. I'll do some research first on this forum and most likely my questions will be answered. I don't want to sound redundant.

I don't have a source for PG where I am so I use VG+10% water as my base liquid.

Yes, I've read 90/10 and 80/20 VG/water. I also read where some use something like Everclear or Vodka instead of water. It's suppose to enhance the flavor,
according to some and give more of a throat hit since PG isn't used.

Welcome PatriciaA !

This forum is great. It provides access to tons of information.

distilled water is fine, but although some folks do it, alcohol of any type really shouldn't be vaped according to Kurt Kistler, (resident chemist) and I trust his opinion.

That's good to know. There is so much information out there that it's hard to figure out what is the right information. Thank you.

A lot of info on here, glad I came acrossed it also

I'm still learning, and likely always will be. Don't feel bad, you'll get it little by little. We all went through that.

Hi there! I'm about to upload a video on what I bought (and what you shouldn't buy) to get started vaping with the big boys. Check out my youtube if you want. You may find some info that helps in video form too! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnQYWVfJiHXByHc5SKmzC-g

Good info. I'm a rookie and been trying different pg/vg nicotine levels to get a throat hit similar to analogs. My smeller doesn't work so well as well as my taste buds so I'm trying to get a good throat hit instead.

gandolff (an love the moniker BTW) your smell and taste will return, it took about 3 weeks of being off the stinkies before mine did but it came back with a vengeance. Now food tastes great, and i'm smelling too good, some of these smells I would be glad to avoid!

 

[Donny B]

Haha, that's what I'm afraid of. My next venture is to make my own juice. My favorite juice costs over $20.00 for 30ml and it doesn't last long.

I just started making my own....now time to make a video about it

Welcome Patricia (and all you other newer folks!) In honor of your arrival, I have added an iStick 50W to my collection (at least when it arrives on Monday I will have added it )

I've been DIYing for about 6 months now, and it's pretty awesome. Head over to the DIY section - LOTS of great ideas and great advice. Check out blogs by Hoosier, Dannyv45, and Bill's Magic Vapor for some great advice in getting started....

Donny B, I saw a couple of your vids and you are a good 'splainer. Let us know when you come out with your DIY juice video. Oh, and can you make it like
you're talking to a 3 year old? I will be getting my order of flavors next week and soon I'll be trying my hand at making some juice and I feel like I'll be flying by the
seat of my pantaloons without a recipe. Oh, and mention how to make it without Nicotine and without PG and maybe how to use an ejuice calculator.

 

[Debadoo]

Patricia, I didn't watch the whole thing......but this seems like a great tutorial on the e juice me up calculator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrDa1NefZ_8

you'll probably have to make it full screen, but he zooms in when he starts showing it. He shows where to get it, how to dl and install, then use etc. The newer version has 10 flavor sections instead of 7 like this one I think.
