Noob DIY Question

[chadlrsn]

Hello to you all and thanks for taking time to read this. I am new to the site and i am really enjoying it. My girlfriend and I have been vaping since Oct last year, and have been loving it. We have both cut out regular smokes and are now vaping 0 nicotine.

I have been browsing the site here and to be honest it is lot to take in, in one night.

Here is my dilemma/question...
We are looking at getting into the DIY liquid making. I have found a ton of great recipes and places to get the flavors, PG, VG, etc., my problem lies in the 0 nicotine we have come to enjoy. I have not been able to find how to make the 0 nicotine base of PG and VG. Everything I have seen includes nicotine in the base. So I am wondering if you "cut" or dilute the 50/50 or 70/30 mix with anything or if you just leave as is with your flavors. So if I am making a 5ml batch would I do 2ml PG + 2ml VG +1ml flavor?

Any help would be great.

Thanks all and I am really loving the site!!

There is a whole section of the forum devoted to diy here. Once you get 5 posts you can post anywhere. Definitely read and then read more. Flavorings are not a set percentage- it involves a bit of trial and error but by no means hard to do. DIY E-Liquid

Oh and welcome lol!

Hi and welcome to ECF. I agree with klynn. the amount/ % of flavoring varies from flavor to flavor and is also dependent on the PG/ VG ratio.

Thanks for the replies!

I will be doing a lot of reading on here the next long while, as there is a lot of really good info.

The only thing I have not been able to find (that I just wanted to know now lol) is the "cutting" with 0 nicotine, if it was needed or not. The example I gave earlier was just an example and as I have been reading will take quite a bit of time to get right. It will be a week or so before I even start getting anything as I am still in the research phase of my new experience.

I am sure you will be hearing from me more as I am learning.

Thanks again for letting me pick your brain and pointing me in the right direction

A neighbor/ convert started on 0 nic 2+ months ago and hasn't had an analog since and has no cravings. Nicotine is not needed to mix juice. We use nicotine to replace the nicotine in analogs and to give us a TH/ throat hit and lung hit.
0 nic juice is merely PG+ VG+ flavoring. It's the ratios you'll have to study up on.

Perfect! That is exactly what I was looking for.

Right now we are vaping high caliber e liquid 0 nic 50/50. We love the flavor not so much the nicotine. Might punch up the TH a bit might not who knows at this point.

Thanks for the info. That is what I was thinking but did not want to really mess things up.

Yes you will just make a recipe and omit the nic. Start with 10ml mixes of your pg/vg ratio and add flavoring. Once you get used to the diy section you will find the list of flavor percents that work for lots of others. Once you get used to single flavor percents you can build on it by adding others. Pg tends to carry flavor better than vg so a lot depends on the pg/vg ratio you like.

If you are vaping 0 nic juice there is no nicotene in it.
