PG AND VG not sitting well

[nasti]

I guess this is a personal issue because few people have had problems with PG irritating the throat and VG causing stomach aches.

Both are affecting me... perhaps its the source. I bought some straight VG from a local shop and PG eliquid from several China suppliers.

I have been using PV's for a some time now... and I have been reduced to just puffing on it and not inhaling. which still works for me.... i feel like the nico is seeping through my mouth... or its just the PV.... But I feel like I am missing out on the full experience of PV.

I have also shared some supplies with friends to give them a try at quitting. They didnt like it either.

Do American suppliers make their liquid from scratch or based on liquid from China suppliers?

Does anyone know of a supplier of GOOD e-liquid that will ship to Toronto, Canada?



(Edit: some China suppliers I have tried include BogeTech and Greenhouse ONE - i prefer the greenhouse one liquid but I was told that 90% of liquid comes from 1 manufacturer... (percentage is made up))

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here:

Most, if not all, liquid nicotine comes from China. There are a few "USA" stores that use only products made here in USA. If the PG irritates your throat you might try a lighter VG mix and instead of using PG use distilled water or vodka to cut the juice. SO replace the VG with vodka or distilled water. I have used the distilled water as an ingredient in my DiY juices but never the vodka.

Thanks Sandpit

Yeah, I tried the DIY route... half assedly... and to no surprise, it did not work out for me... seemed like an awesome investment at first but its really hard to find quality supplies and equipment and then the laboratory set up and hygeine and stuff... I have a cat... her fur is everywhere... lol

I am no good with measurements... I just eyeball everything... having the equipment helps... someone should sell those in complete kits....

well they do actually...... lolol you can buy DiY kits from DiY flavorshack. There's also an online calculator that does all the measurements for you, you jsut add the amount of drops it tells you to Just google ejuice calculator. As for kits.... well all you really need is flavoring (I use lorann), nicotine juice (which I usually buy when I find a good sale and just buy a few bottles), some dropper bottles to mix it in and a few droppers.

You're not talking about the raw -unflavored- nic liquid are you? I'm pretty sure there are USA made nicotine liquid manufacturers, just don't know any personally. Possibly some US vendors would tell you if there was.

I don't know that the actual nicotine is manufactured here in the U.S. that's why I told people to correct me. I think it comes from China although the PG and VG and flavorings may be manufactured here in the U.S. I just don't know for sure.
