Wow! It's really expensive staff! 120 ml 10 mg from them is more expensive that 120 ml 100 mg from Nude Nicotine (also a bit expensive site, but high quality nic). In terms of nic quantity they are about 10 times more expensive. I'd better find another supplier.
Yeah WOAH! $20 for 120 ml? I can get 1 quart of VG or PG on Amazon for a bit over $12 each. and enough nic there too to make 1/2 gal of premix for about $35. All USP, Kosher, etc.

I'll look at Nude Nic, Thanks.. Any others that sell premixed nic base? I want 12mg/ml at least 60pg/40vg. Final result goal is 9-10mg nic @ 70/30 or so. I do not want to have to mix my own PG/VG/Nic.

I know it's expensive, at MVJ, but as a newbie to DIY... I started with what I KNOW. I get most of my Juice from MVJ, because I prefer it to others. I only vape NETs. I am a long way from wanting to set up a mixing lab or an extraction lab. So I'm open to extract sources. I also use NET.com, FWIW.

I buy 100 mg nic (actually, I stocked up and not buying anymore).
Hope other members could answer your question better.

Wanted to know if many of you do this. Thought it would simplify things if I mixed some of the PG and VG and stored it that way. I normally do 50/50 in just about all of my juice.

I usually premix about 150 to 300ml of PG/VG and nicotine then ad flavors to small amounts of this base mix as I need them. I also premix base flavors like bavarian cream and vanilla. this allows me to mix very small amounts of mixed flavors for testing.

I thought maybe I was the only one doing that. I keep some sweet cream, custard and Bavarian cream mixed up to add to other mixes as needed. I just put on my label something like 2 drops BC premix so I can replicate it later. And my premix bottles are labeled as to the flavoring content, etc.

it is a lot easier to measure premixed flavors when you are only making 3-5 ml for taste testing. I do not mind using 2 or 3 drops of one flavor but when trying to mix flavors it more difficult to get the ratios right.with premixed flavors the measurements are large enough to make mixing easy

Well I always premix a one litre bottle of pg and vg . I like a 65/35 mix and have a 5litres pack pg and one vg. 5litres vg are about 16€ and the 5litres pg about 27€. That's a good deal ( from a horse supplier) and so I just mix my liquids from one big bottle and put nicotine base from stored 72mg base in liquid bottles and add my base.

Like many vapors here in Germany I have stored some higher concentrated nicotine base as it's going to be regulated next year here. 72mg is as high as you can legally buy over here.

Of course, I also add flavour.

DAMN! Had to order some more flavors....
well I just got an email from wizard labs telling me my wintergreen flavor just arrived so I had to order some while its in stock. but you can never have to many flavors to play with.just like you can never have to many spices in your kitchen. I think we all enjoy experimenting with different flavor mixes

I have three bottles (like catsup/mustard squeeze bottles with a snap lid) - one has 50/50, another has 25p/75v and the third is all VG. My nic is VG, and my flavors are PG. I'm less concerned with my ending PG/VG ratio (but I do predominately use all VG.) I mix my flavors and my nic and then pick a bottle to top my mix. I don't have to think, other than getting the right flavors/nic at the beginning.
