Got that! I just calculated how much it would cost for me to make my own juice using USP glycerin, LorAnn flavor (10%), and nicotine (10 mg/ml) and it would only cost ~$2.00 per 30 ml. That's assuming I require 10% flavor, which might be way too much. That's incredible! I love it! Now if I could only get the head rush the free base nicotine in a cigarette produces that apparently the nicotine in juice does not, I would be happy as a clam. Still happy as a clam.

YOu are correct. And DON'T VAPE IT. I'm sure you know that, but it never hurts to say- 100mg/ml is for mixing, diluting, and DIY. If you vape with it directly, you can get into BIG trouble fast.

Actually at 100mg, you need to be wearing gloves. Nicotine is readily absorbed through the skin. I buy 100mg but, I suit up and dilute it to 50. That's what I use when I'm mixing.

What is your set up? I mean what kind of pv.....Have you considered looking at the Buzz . It is a mod that might give you want you want in terms of power. notcigs.com is the place...they have a forum here at ecf also...Take a look. When I first hit on it,,,,,well, ask the notcig users on the ecf forum.....you will see.

That is a good start.....Keep the Buzz in mind tho,,,,,it is a variable voltage mod, that allows you to dial what voltage you want,,,,at a reasonable price...around $100 bucks for the kit.......from the way you were talking, I thought you were unhappy with your set up....How long have you smoked analogs, and how many per day.......I would say the Buzz is for the hard core ex-analog user......very powerful.....jmo.

Yes DIY is the only way to fly with this hobby. It really does save a ton of money. I mix 90% of my juices at 10% flavor. Some of the more complex ones (3 or more flavors) get up into the 15 - 17% range. Be sure to pick up some sweetner. The cotton candy flavor is Ethyl Malto at 10% solution and the sweetner flavor is Sucralose. Both can be had at One Stop DIY. I have found for my tastes that a DIY sauce without sweetner just does not have the "pop" and just sort of seems like it is missing something.

I mix at 80pg/20vg but one of my favorites is cinnamom roll from Lorann's. I mix 9% cin roll, 1% waffle (TPA I am not sure loranns has waffle) and 1% sweetner. Can also try rootbeer float, 4% Lorann rootbeer and 6% vanillla. I also like the Lorann cheesecake. 8% cheesecake 2 - 3% strawberry or cherry.

I just got a Blu kit on Tuesday (2 days ago) and an eGo-T kit should be coming in today or tomorrow. Next week I should be receiving 510 cartomizers, a 510 atomizer, and drip tip for the eGo-T in the event the atomizer/tank system fails.

You will come over to the dark side and start dripping. Until you do, that drip tip is handy for sampling juice so you won't fill a carto with a bunch of stuff you don't like.
