Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

It's not in the US. Yet. Gary's in Canada where they've lowered the boom.

No, no. Talking about the states. But banned was the wrong word. More like "dropped" from the reputable juice/flavoring companies. Here? Not a clue. Pay no attention since I get nothing from here.

I googled and could not find where Canada has regulated/banned Diacetyl in ejuice. Nicotine yes.
And technically the importing of vaping gear is banned in Canada.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

That's it. I bought a Qt each of pg/vg off Amazon from them.

That is where I get mine too.

Thanks, I think I've settled on this kit from RTS
The DIY Beginner Mixing Kit
Does RTS have a cupon code that I can use?

Never had a problem. And again... poor choice of words. Replace banned with dropped. From reputable firms. Safe to eat, not safe to inhale.

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.

I do the same. Calculator, & syringes. I'll try a recipe & tweak it, so I mix in 10 ml batches until I like it, then make a bigger batch.

I get we are very brand conscious; but I have never understood bashing a vendor that one has never bought from or even knows someone who has. If they do not ship in bottles with a choice of size/amount; what would we propose they do? Send a mystery amount in a mystery container? I've looked at this site a lot now to assure myself that I did not just waste 125 dollars and can't figure out why having a choice of sizes small and large makes them ignorant.

I am always looking for a good deal; but I have my trusty Wizard Labs to fall back on at all times

I would have never ordered this if I just was starting though. Wizard Labs is where I placed all my orders my first two tries at vaping and mixing. Plus I was scared to death of 100mg/ml type nic content back then.

 

[Kenna]

That is a lightweight boom.

But Vape shops can't allow vaping in the shops, so no tasting liquids that they sell. They can't teach how to use their products, or even take a dripper apart to show it. No teaching safety. They almost can't talk about vaping period . In a vape shop. They have to go out to the curb to do any of that.

 

[Kenna]

My largest and strongest Nic Concentrate order up to this point has been 400ML of 60mg/ml. I am going to have to up my game and measuring/storing ways with a gallon at 90mg/ml on the way!

100mg/ml is easier to calculate.

Yep, the shops in Ohio can let you try devices, juices, and they will even wrap and teach you how to wrap coils.

 

[FlamingoTutu]

I assume you are talking in general? The only site I bashed was one that wants to sell a beginner DIY kit with what they claim to be pure nicotine. That's irresponsible as far as I'm concerned and could cause people harm. Not sure why someone would bash a place for the sizes they sell.

Wizard Labs rocks.

 

[JDC1958]

I ordered 90 because my plan is 6 nic content and trying to knock that down to 3 real soon. Its easier for my peanut brain to wrap around with easily divisible#s. 6 and 3 go into 90 in even amounts. I did the same things with 36, 48, and 60. I know, not necessary lol

I don't think commenting that one has never heard of them, & recommending vendors that one does have eexperience with constitues bashing. It's a simple conversation among a group of people. Not an arguement in favor or against. Or we can end every sentence with a smiley face....[emoji2] or a cookie [emoji514] .

Thanks again guys I really appreciate the help.
Found the coupon code, cleverly hidden on their home page.
So if you hear on the news about another e-cig related explosion in the DFW area not to worry it's just me concocting my brew.

I have to agree, "pure nicotine" would indicate to me that it's not diluted, and that would require a proper lab & HAZMAT gear. 100mg/ml is not "pure nicotine" because the solution is only 10% nicotine. Products that have the potential to be lethal MUST be labeled & described correctly.
Besides that "pure" nicotine is, as far as I have found, an impossibility. The best I've seen is/was USP 99.8% pure. Most that you find is around 97%

As close as I've planned to this point is 'Buy Somethin'' and give it a try. I've 'dumbed down' juice from 18mg to 6mg by mixing flavored juice. So the plan is to apply the KISS principal to begin with. PG/VG/Nic/single flavoring. Surviving that obtaining some recipes from ECF and put on the chef hat.

Good way to start, EB. Learn what each flavor tastes like to you, what % you like. Do that with a few, and then you start wondering "hmmm, how will flavor x go with flavor y..."

Or we can end every sentence with a smiley face....

COOKIE!!
