The link works for me but this is what I'm think of
DIY E-Juice Kit, Type 3 - DIY E-Liquid Kit - Others - E-Liquid(E-Juice) Made in USA

Their flavours are way to high.

OK, I see what was meant now Yes they have pure there if you want to go that route. I'd probably hurt myself with that stuff!

Jup!. You aren't even allowed to talk about anything over 200mg/ml on ECF. I saw another post of yours in a different thread where you mentioned drugs, nothing wrong with what you said, but you aren't allowed to talk about that stuff by name either. Call it "other stuff" as code. It's just the way of ECF with their reasoning being they don't such talk being tracked back to the site.

Now that I've said the above, that site says "ONE 10ml or 1/2 oz or 1 oz Bottle of 100% Pure Nicotine with your selection of bottle size." I would never order from there since even they don't seem to know what they're talking about.

AH. Yeah not banned by the gov. Wrong wording. But all the reputable dealers note in their ads that their juices do not contain it. If they didn't state that it would be more fuel for the feds fire. If anyone is using it today it would be a good dealer to stay away from IMO.

It would be if it didn't claim to be pure nicotine.


EB, do you have a Tractor Supply near you? You can pick up a gallon of PG and VG there relatively cheap. Also someone can direct you to Essential Oils (oils?) for a good deal. I'd suggest going to Wizard labs for a small bottle of nic in a strength you are comfortable working with, a couple of small bottles of flavoring, syringes, blunt needle and something to mix in if you want. Then branch out.

Thanks for the info on the rules. I don't mean to break any. I never told anyone to buy anything over a 100mg/ml much less 200mg/ml The link I posted went straight to the 1 gallon of e-liquid base which does not go over 100mg/ml.

I will definitely watch myself on that other stuff, I remember that post now and can be a little sarcastic at times.

I'm with tutu, to call it pure nic is wrong, you'd need a ventilated lab, and heavy duty apparel to work with that. I'd be leary of it. also you're getting very little nic for your 60.00 I know you probably don't want to buy liters and gallons of stuff just to see if you like DIY, and getting started in it can be expensive, but I'm just not sure I'd trust that place. What type of flavors do you vape? Most of us don't use goggles or gloves. I do use some syringes, but don't use needles.
I do mine stupid simple. I get a liter of nic, break it down into 120 ml bottles and those go in the freezer. I only keep one liter at a time broken down. I make my base at 24 mg nic, so I dump one of the 120 ml bottles of nic into a jar, use a measuring cup to add enough pg and vg to make 24 mg 70pg unflavored juice. I will use a syringe to draw up 10 mls of that if I'm doing a new recipe and add my flavorings to it. If making my ADV I'll draw up 120 mls and add my flavorings. You may want to decide how you want to DIY before deciding what to buy and where to buy it. ex. do you want to do it similar to how I do it, or do you want to add nic, pg, vg, and flavorings to every bottle you make?

ebates, if you don't mind me asking, what part Texas are you in? I'm in the middle of the state, if we're close enough, I could help you get set up

I love Wizard Labs and when I want to get everything all at once still use them all the time.

I know you didn't, just wanted to point it out somewhere "safe" so you'd know. The mods are lenient with innocent slip ups, occasionally they get weird (sorry guys ) with something and we don't quite understand why. I had a post deleted because I put up a video of the Legal Vape 4000, not remembering it mentioned other stuff. Look it up, hysterical video.

Thank you!

About a year ago when they found it created lung problems. AKA popcorn lung.

Well I knew about the diacytle problem at least 2.5 years ago. It's been a topic in the DIY forum for a very long time.

 

[DancingHeretik]

Ok here is wierd FT thing they put up today

$23.05 Magnum Mini Styled 18350 Mod Kit - 1*18350 / built-in 4ml e-liquid bottle at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Some kind of Lighter styled squonker? Not really sorting how this thing works LOL

If I weren't trying to stock up on a limited budget, that would be worth buying just out of curiosity.

OTOH, late yesterday afternoon our second grandson (10 y.o.) was rushed to nationally renown Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. Local examination here reveled a detached retina.

Have yet to receive any updates. So please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much!

So sorry to hear this. Please, let us know what happens. I hope it all works out for the best.

Yep !!! I'm excited. A few months ago, motivated by the first holiday trip I've planned on in.......don't even know how long....I started working on getting this old body into some kind of decent shape...after all, swimming pool and hot tub in Florida require a swimsuit

The pounds are slowly coming down....Last month I ordered a great pair of jeans......in a size smaller than I was wearing at that point.....yikes !! and when they came...they fit.... Now, I don't know how anyone else is, but......I want jeans to fit snug on my bum So....last week when I got a coupon code to get 80% off on the same pair.....yep, I ordered the next size down from the ones I already had received. They arrived today. I'm wearing them .....Yes.....I'm excited !!!

Wow! You're gonna be all light and energetic and dancing all around!

Thank you!

As for the rest? Just reading so many posts about it already, I'm no longer in the mood to talk about doomsday stuff ATM.

Oh good it wasn't just me that found their nic listings baffling and confusing to figure out. I just wrote that site off.

But if you're adding your flavors to a 24mg base... it's no longer 24mg. You're cutting it depending on the amount of flavorings added, no?

 

[DancingHeretik]

That's why she makes her base 24 mg. She actually vapes 18 mg as I remember.

I do the same thing. I make my base 13 1/2 mg/ml so it comes out to 12 mg after adding flavor.

 

[JDC1958]

Yes! They have a lot of different products and I had to do a good bit of reading to find what I was looking for.

They do have FDA Approval with an FDA Approved Registration #, USP 99.9% Pure Grade Label, and a U.S. Patent all listed on their web site. I will let everyone know if they are just a hoax but I am seriously not thinking they are

I like Wizard Labs a lot and if a Gallon of 100mg/ml Nicotine Concentrate was not twice as much at 269.69 dollars I would have bought from them. They have always been my one stop shop and their site, unlike E-Liq.com, is much easier to navigate. Wizard Labs also has 100s more different flavours to choose from at decent prices.

Yes, and yes. I work in a similar fashion, mixing my base at 20 since my "preferred" level is 18. And mix that base to 60 pg / 40 vg, since I like my liquid closer to 70/30. Flavorings dilute the nic and increase the pg for me, and get close enough.

A lot of new people do not account for the flavour being added in. I keep it stupid simple to and just use a e-juice calculator. Between the calculator and some accurate syringes I am assured of getting the correct nic level and flavour content every time.

I don't mix in big containers though. 60ML is my standard; I just have quite a few of them. Some will think I am being overly accurate, but I like being accurate. Gives me a taste and idea for the slight differences in recipes I change around.

Ah. Thot I remembered her saying she vapes at 24. Then again, remembering my name is trying at times. But still, depends on the flavor and how much volume is added. And multiple flavors changes everything as well.
