Newbie here!!!

[Joesenior321]

Hi guys. I'm new to the site but not to the vaping world. Been vaping for about a year now.

I had a pretty good hookup on juice, (120ml for $18) but he closed up shop. Was mixing as a hobbie and gf thought it took up too much time away from her, (women, hmmm).

So, now going to attempt to start making my own. I've done plenty of research, but obviously not enough. The confusion I seem to have is when looking for liquid nicotine I mostly find it with either VG or PG. If I'm already purchasing both separately do I need liquid nicotine with one or the other?

I know that this is a very redundant question that's been asked over and over again and something so simple that most prob won't bother to answer. But thats ok, I get it. BUT, if possible, can anyone point me in the right direction or perhaps post a link on DIY juice? Mostly, I would like to learn not just the how's but also the why's.

I want to thank anyones reply in advance, it is very, very much appreciated!!!!

Joe

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

Head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. Make sure to read all the "stickies". Also check out the blogs by ECF members Hoosier & dannyv45.

Welcome to the forum and happy mixing!

Since you're going to wind up with a blend of PG and VG in the final ejuice it makes sense for the bulk to be in one or the other or even a 50/50 mixture. PG is much less viscous ("thick") so is easier to measure. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter which one you use. Find one of the calculators in the DIY section and just plug in the specifics of whatever nicotine solution you wind up with.

Welcome Joe.

I'll give a +1 to the suggestion you head into the DIY section. I havnt been making my own juices for long but the knowledge I picked up there so far has been invaluable.

Welcome to the forum! Once you have your 5 posts in you can participate in other areas of the forum. FYI, all nic concentrate is mixed with either vg or pg or both. Even the strongest we can buy, 100mg is mixed. Pure nic isn't available to anyone except labs where all the safety elements are in place as pure nic is easily fatal. Learn the mixing calculators and you'll see that they take the base into consideration when mixing your own.

Wow, thanks everyone for the quick responses and great advice. I appreciate the great pointers and an now even more excited to mix.

Just being a mixing virgin, can you guyssuggest where I might be able to purchase the ingredients and a cheap price but still still keeping quality in mind? I know that most of the times the two don't mix, however, just starting I don't want to spend a lot of money on the ingredients because I know that this is my learning/experimenting stage and don't want to just throw money away. Ha

Thanks again,
Joe

Hi JoeSenior, I'm going to just let that "women ..hmm" comment slide *lol*

Welcome (we don't do the DIY stuff, so I've nothing to contribute on that) still playing around with what flavors we like, mixture of pg/vg etc.

Congrats on quitting, and happy vaping!!
