So far so good. Got supplies last Thursday, vaping the first batch on Friday and prefer it to my store bought stuff, so

I'm using an android app for mixing called liquix. It seems to be presuming I'm going to add water, like 5 or 10%. Is there some reason to do that? May be I'm misunderstanding the calculator. (I'm making 50/50 liquid, 12mg, 3.5% flavor.)

Is there any reason to refrigerate the PG, VG, or flavors? The PG and VG is about a year supply. (Nic is in the freezer.)

Is there any place to buy 15 and 30 ml plastic dripper bottles that don't cost almost as much as the liquid I put in them? I may do some sharing at work to encourage DIY.

hi @sofarsogood . The reason for the water section of the calculator is some people use distilled water to thin out high vg juice so it can wick better. I haven't heard of any advantage to refrigerate the VG. PG and flavors. Keep them in a cool dark place. (cabinet) As to the bottles, ebay and amazon are a good place to look for them. here are a few links for glass bottles, though they might have the plastic too (I prefer glass as it's easily cleaned and reused).

Fab, above, provided almost EXACTLY the answers I would have!
lol.

I zero out the water, freeze my nic while PG/VG and flavors stay on a dark corner shelf, and I've gotten bottles from packagingoptions before. And I like the ejuicemeup calculator, too.

As for the plastic bottles,i have bought them a few times from Central vapors.I bought them from them through ebay,not sure if they have them on their website or not,but i got like 25 30ml bottles for something like $8 or so,it's been a while,but i do remember it was really cheaply priced though.

Water can open up the flavors. It is the sole reason I use it.
