You are at $7 for 7ml? That is high! I usually buy my flavors in the bigger bottles, nic on sale at least 250 ml, and VG is only around $15 for a quart. My average is around $3 for 30ml.


I think he meant his flavoring was $7 for 7ml and he uses 2.5 ml of that to make a 100ml of juice. :)

My cost for my finished product is 8.4 cents/ml, or 2.52/30ml. :thumbs: (without figuring in shipping)

Nah, Keekers, just stay away from the really dangerous stuff.
Just get yourself some flavouring and nic juice in your personal strength and start the creativity.

Half a liter of 24mg for $25: 24mg Nicotine solution - 500ml

After dropping and shattering my phone today and punching myself in the mouth this morning I'm thinking I might want to stick with premade :lol:

My cost for finished product is around $2.00 per 30 ml, about $.07 cents per ml and no shipping costs. And after trial and error the juice if perfectly tailored to MY taste and is repeatable and consistent batch to batch.
Are you using wizard labs? out of sheer thick headedness I didn't check their website until last night... what would cost 70 bucks at myfreedomsmokes only costs 50 something there... and people say their stuff is great. I have come to accept over the years that when people say that something is good, it usually means it costs more, which was not the case here. I am not super worried about the couple cents more per ml, but since it all adds up to a 70 vs 50 dollar purchase, heck yeah I am going with wizard labs!

I am using my first nic bottle from WL now, seems very good so far.

You're not the first person who thinks I need a helmet or a plastic bubble. After hearing someone say that the top popped off one of her plastic bottles and she got nic. all over herself I got really really paranoid. I usually take the cap off and pour into the bottle of my REO directly. Ah I need a funnel...I just remembered they make those.

I didn't hurt myself too bad. My lip was just a little busted up and swollen. That's the worst...cracked screens. Luckily I got this screen protector that has kept the pieces of glass from falling out - so far.

oh gosh, I am sorry I laughed now... :( hope it heals up quick :unsure:. I guess it didn't click that someone could punch themselves accidentally hard enough to bust a lip :blink:. I apologize. Yeah, I would stay away from any nic over 24mg, a lot of people vape 24mg (some even higher), and while it is not a good Idea to get it on your skin, as long as you don't use it as lotion, and wash it off immediately after it touches your skin, you'll be fine. of course there is no shame in vaping premade. FWIW I don't think you need a helmet, I was just being humorous.:)

A cool way to remove the dripper tip from the bottle: Remove the cap, once it is not threaded at all you can hold it against the threads and tilt it back. It will pry the dripper tip off and the tip will remain in the cap. You can set it down on it's side and it will not get juice all over. When you are ready just place the cap with the tip inside on the bottle press down and tighten and you are set to go. I usually will unscrew the cap and make sure the tip is in all the way.

This is a better explanation:

If you would like to remove the tip from a bottle of juice to fill your REO bottle here is a easy, no mess way I have found.

Unscrew the bottle lid then tilt it enough so it pulls the tip off the bottle.

The tip will stay in the lid and you can set it down on it's side and it will not make a mess.

When you are done simply put the cap with the tip inside right back on the bottle and tighten.

I usually check to make sure the tip is secure before laying the bottle down.

Good idea!!! Thanks!

You're brilliant.

Anyone else try vapingzone flavors yet? Perfect for those new to DIY. No real experimentation necessary, these flavors are good all by themselves at 2.5% :)


-Sam

Okay so I just counted up my vaping zone super concentrated flavor bottles and I have 24. Ah...yeah....so you could say I have tried a few!

They are seriously outstanding. Sammy hit it right on the head - these are amazing all by themselves without tinkering or doctoring. And I mix them at 2.5% and I use 100% vg. Of course there are those I prefer over others but this flavoring line is fantastic. And they mix together very nicely.
