Newbie going to try DIY liquids

[bosun]

Newbie here..808 batts, cartos, clearos, 510 atty for dripping - just to show off my experience level (grin).
Haven't been impressed with any of the flavored e liquids that I've tried, though my taste buds are starting to come back after a life time of coffin nails. Recently ordered a 125MM bottle of a flavored e-liquid that I've been vaping, and another 125MM bottle of unflavored. Found the unflavored vapes just fine for me and I like it but still want to chase that flavor nirvanna I've been hearing about. A bit of a price differential - $44.99/flavored vice $8.45/unflavored. REALLY??
So ordered gloves, syringes, bottles, funnels, flavors, PG, VG, 60mg unflavored Nic juice last night.
Intend to Transfer some of the 60mg nic into a 125mm bottle and cut it to 30mg nic to minimize dangers of working with the higher concentration. Use the 30mg for liquid production and the bottle of 60mg goes into the freezer. Up to page 16 reading this forum so I'm learning a bit.
Question. PG/VG. Is it recommended to also freeze them, or is cool and dark adequate? TIA!!!

You should download a good calculator and leave the 60mg at 60mg...it's not dangerous, just use gloves. If you dilute it, then you have a small window of how much vg you can add because the flavoring is also PG.

I agree. Leave it at 60. Don't know how much you vape, or at what strength but you could always transfer the 60 into smaller (30ml) bottles to store in the freezer.

I recently got some 48 mg and find that I can't do some of the recipes I want, at the strength and ratios that I want. I'll have to up my PG/VG ratios a little. No big deal but had I known, I would have ordered the 60mg. (Not quite ready to play with the big guns (100mg) yet.)

Play around with this. E-Juice / E-Liquid Calculator

Thanks. D/l'ed the "e-juice me up" program and ran it before pulling the trigger on my order! Great program..answers my questions before I ask them. I've been using 80/20 pg/vg mix. Perhaps I'll leave the nic base as is..just like to be careful, especially when new to something..just cutting down the concentration on some of the base will leave my future options open..I'm getting old and learned not to burn my bridges long ago!

I "AM" old and still haven't learned that one.

I ain't a quick learner either, but kick me in the teeth enough times and I'll start catching on! (G)

If your looking to get that coffin nail taste of the american cigarette taste try the hangsen red at 7%.

Red USA Mix Flavoring by Hangsen

As far freezing PG VG and NIC yes you can freeze them. It's recommended to freeze them in glass bottles.
