Hi, I'm new and I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to reply.
Based on some good advice, I purchased the Johnson Creek (user-configurable) sampler 5-pack. You get 5 choices of 5ml. 1.8% (=18mg/ml) e-juices. They're pretty well documented on Johnson Creek's site. For my 25ml, I paid $21 w/ shipping to Indiana, which wasn't bad.
I've heard that JC produces some fairly good quality e-juice, and I wasn't disappointed. Personally, I didn't care for the Swiss Dark, and I liked the Espresso less than I thought I would. But I loved the (all-VG) Silverthorne, the TN Cure, and the Tundra. (The latter is their most intense menthol, which I ordered on a lark, because I haven't smoked menthol in 30 yr.s since I quite smoking you-know-what *wink*).
JC also provided me w/ some nice eyedroppers and glass vials, which I intend to put to good "DIY" use *grin* once I get my PG and VG from BulkApothecary.com. I'm wondering if I can mix it up a bit. The default ("sampler") % is 1.8% (= 18mg/ml), but I have a 2.4% Tundra which I want to dig into, once I get my BulkApothecary order.
Tip: don't throw away those bottles or eyedroppers. Also - consider clear-o-mizers because they have fill indicators.
I hear "halo" also makes some good e-juice, but right now - I'm into trying mixing w/ PG/VG. I used an injector machine for years to make my own ciggies (TOP-O-MATIC) and mixed tobacco. I figure it's the same thing now LOL. Heck, I've made mixed-flour bread from scratch for 20 years. Hasn't killed me yet hehe.
Hope this post didn't violate any rules!!
