I use 250mg nic! I pour into the bottle I use for mixing over the sink as I really don't want any on me but I haven't taken any other precautions and have not had a problem.
Mine is the same strength. I used gloves when I bottled it up for the freezer, but since then I've been pouring bare-handed. I've had no problems, but, as I said, I hate measuring the fiddly little amounts needed for small batches at 9mgs/ml.

    Alright I mixed the Chefs Tiki at 10% and cannot taste it. I guess maybe 15% is right but I'll work my way up.

    I just saw your other post saying you started tasting it. It was very overpowering at 15% running at 60 watts. I haven't tried it in a different tank yet. I know Julia Su said it's better to give it 2-3 days to steep which I did.

    It's way easier. I especially like it because I use such potent nicotine that measuring out the amount necessary for, say, 15mls is nerve-wracking. Its only drawback is that the final proportion of nic, VG, and PG will vary somewhat depending on the recipe, something that doesn't bother me but could annoy someone more sensitive.
    not sure how it varies. I have been racking my brain. Please explain.
    If I mix 500ml of base at 335VG ,135PG and 30MLs nicotine, I have a 70vg base with 6mgs nic. So then when I make a recipe. don't I just add the VG,P and nic together and add that amount of base?

    I just found out the dumbest thing. My daughter can't get Obamacare tax credits because she doesn't make enough money. She's too poor for assistance. She's been turned down by Medicaid previously because she wasn't pregnant or didn't have kids. I'm trying to wrap my head around all of this. What do they expect students to do for insurance?

    She is no doubt to young for Medicaid by herself.

    I mix 200 ml at a time, 200 ml 30pg/70vg, 4 ml of 100mg nicotine(100% pg). When I mix my recipes I usually keep the flavors at 10% or less, 100% pg for flavors. This gives me 1.9 mg of nic, 33pg/67vg.
    I’m the opposite. I’m roughly 70pg and 30vg. I do also try to keep my flavors at 10% or less.

    My youngest got it while she was working part time and finishing up credits for grad school. She’s single/no kids. They let her keep it as secondary insurance when she started school full time (school provided insurance is her primary now). Maybe she should reapply??
