questions about DYI juices

[kenetics]

I recently found this e-cig china site and they seem to have the cheapest and easiet way to make DIY juice. Has anyone ordered anything from china sites before? I am wonderig if they are actually safe to buy from. Also can you guys recommend me some good sites to buy DYI prodcuts from? Thanks!

ecigexpress. For flavors, nic, et al.
Crystal Clear Vaping-50-100% nic

I would steer away from china flavors as they may contain diacetyl. I deal with FlavourArt, but they take FOREVER. Try liberty-flights.com

I didnt get any china juice or flavors. I am worried about the substances included on them and I am still doing some research about them.

Carlton do you have any info about it? Are they safe?

I get my nic and bottles at my freedom smokes. they pretty good.

You could try Inawera. It's pretty cheap but good.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Yep that's where I buy flavors in bulk- great prices and quality. Nic juice I buy Stateside and U.S. made.

I just started DIYing juices and I found that Ecigexpress had everthing I needed.
Good luck and I'm sure the DIY liquid subforum has a lot of info.

I bought some flavors from Health Cabin in China. They have great customer service and their fruit flavors are so close to real you won't believe it. Very concentrated also. been vaping it for weeks and I'm fine, would worry about what's in your water in the USA more than what's in their juice. At least there's is clear instead of all food coloring like Lorrann.

I haven't ventured into DIY yet, but I am looking at the starter kits offered by onestopdiyshop. It has everything you need to get going.

Again, inexperienced here, but I personally am staying away from high level bases (like the 100 mg/ml offered by CCV) until I am more proficient at mixing. That stuff is dangerous.

Kudos X 10 tidegirl. One of the most sensible posts I've read in a long time.
Thank you.

Yeah, I second this. I buy cartos in bulk from China but wouldn't trust juices and, as I live in Italy - where Chinese juices are illegal to import (go figure) . I also deal with Flavourart and think they are pretty top notch quality but ssssslllllooooooowwww as anything you have ever been waiting for - I send them encouraging e-mails to expedite the process, like "OK, guys, coffee is on me if you get it here by next Thursday" - seems to help.

I also buy pre-mixed from Liberty Flights and can recommend them completely. I'm gonna look into Inawera after seeing it posted here, might be a cheaper and faster alternative.

I would suggest looking at this thread

DIY E-Liquid
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/74109-guide-diy-flavoring.html

and also if your gonna' mix your own juice.........you pay for what you get in most cases

I get my flavors or a part of them from "healthcabin" and have not had any problems yet.

 

[Los Marauder]

Perfumers apprentice may be a sorce to look at for flavoring.

 

[Los Marauder]

The guide to DIY flavoring here on ECF is also a great begining for DIY flavor options and ingreadients.

I buy from here quite often:

One Stop DIY Shop

Although that's one vendor among many, I've never had an issue with service or quality. Also, I DIY my e-jucie by purchasing double strength to my target nic and then cutting with PG and/or VG and flavoring. So I make my 24 mg juice as follows:

1/2 container full of 48 mg 50/50 PG/VG base.
few drops of flavorings
fill remainder with PG. That gives me 24 mg flavored nic at 75% PG, 25% VG. If I wanted 18 mg result, I'd start with 36 mg base.

Although I share safety concerns with everyone, IDK if any of this is "safe". I prefer to stay with USA vendors... but that's me. Some overseas vendors are/have applied for FDA certification/partnerhsip/whatever-it-is and swear by their quality. Who knows these days.

yeah i would stick with 36mg. also i think the value add of a 'kit' is dubious. my suggestion would be to pick up five pack juice samples, 36 mg nic, and pg/vg from bluemist. an erlenmeyer flask and pipet from a supplier like general laboratory supply if you budget allows.

 

[Rule62]

I get my flavors and 48mg nic liquid from One Stop DIY Shop Great customer service. They have Flavor Art, Flavor Apprentice, Lorann, and Flavors West. I buy my PG and VG locally. VG can be found in many pharmacies or health food stores. Pharmacy will anso order PG sometimes, or you can usually find it at tractor supply stores.
