REOnauts - want a simple way to dilute & dispense unflavored Nic base

[Stacy1]

All the bottles I have in the freezer are 120ml of 100mg. To make the amount of base I'm making up at one time I only need 18ml of the nic. That's a lot of in and out of the freezer to empty one of those bottles. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to mess up my nic from changing the temp so much. Thanks. Now I've got to visit BBB and get me some of those big squeeze bottles

Which weren't as easy to fill up, but I decided to go that route...and I see what you mean about a pain... using a funnel.

Just for future reference in case you ever decide to fill those amber bottles again... Using *a* funnel is one thing. Using the right funnel is another. I use those amber bottles for another purpose and I've come to prefer the shorter version, but if I were pouring VG in them, I think I'd go for the deeper one.

Just in case you aren't already aware of it, if you bend out a leg of a paper clip and slip it in the bottle before you insert the funnel, it will keep the funnel from sealing against the bottle, and help avoid some spillage.

Please always remember to stir or mix your nic liquid before removing some for DIY.

This especially needs to be done with bottles that have sat in the freezer for a long period of time.

How bout shaking? I'm a shaker

I use 100% VG and if I shake it too much I get bubbles! They interfere with the measuring correctly. I do tip the bottle from side to side slowly though. That cold VG moves slow!

I have an ultrasonic cleaner that has a heater option. Before mixing, I always put my nic base and my VG in the ultrasonic. with the heater on, for a few minutes. The ultrasonic helps mix the nic, and the heater thins the VG, so that it pours and mixes easier.

I finally used up pretty much all of my first batch that I did in an amber glass eyedropper bottle (120ml), which took about a month to vape up... not long... loving the unflavored 98% VG

Anyway, I mixed up a batch using this, super_x, ketchup bottle method and it was a lot easier!

I am also wondering if y'all do anything special to avoid sunlight with this...(the mixed unflavored, not the base, I have that in the freezer ) I know its not good for nicotine, but I've also read somewhere that it really doesn't hurt it with moderate exposure... I'm planning on just keeping it sitting out in my lair, where the blinds are always closed, but the room has about three windows... So its not getting direct sunlight or anything... I might just rig a makeshift sleeve to pop the bottle in to reduce it... but I don't even think its necessary... any thoughts?

I mixed up ~5-6mg... I put the mark directly at the .6cm mark, and filled the base to the bottom of that line... I noticed there was a fairly large meniscus (curve) too. Not really too worried about any of this. Just thought I'd share it works out really well and is extremely simple to do...

Im excited to refill my reo bottle using this... Its gonna go way faster than using an eyedropper 6-7 times (2 minutes)... This method should take 5 seconds

No more than twice?

I mix my 6mg unflavored up 30ml at a time. I just leave it out on my desk. I use it up fairly quickly. I don't vape the unflavored straight, usually. I use it to dilute some of my stronger flavored juice, when I don't want 'full on' flavor, like when I'm relaxing and chain vaping.

I keep the raw nic base in the freezer and the mixed / diluted ketchup bottle in a file drawer - with the rest of my vape supplies

Yeah it's easy alright

 

[Filthy-Beast]

I mix up 90 ml at a time, a 60ml bottle for my desk and a 30ml to take on short business trips. They just sit out.

I grabbed some bottles today at bed bath and beyond. Looks like they'll work great. I couldn't find the little red caps though. I'm gonna check the hardware store tomorrow for something similar.

 

[caveat]

Nice tip. Gonna find some of these.

 

[Rule62]

I've been getting mine at Sally's Beauty Supply. They come with the little red caps.

I like to get 48mg nic in PG (wizardlabs) because it's not too scary to work with and it's really easy to calculate the dilution. I like 50/50 pg/vg at 12mg. All I have to do to make my "base" is use a mixing cup (from wizardlabs) fill it with VG to 200 ml... then I add 100ml of the 48mg nic and another 100ml of straight PG. I end up with 400ml of 50/50 12mg. I don't particularly want my mg that high... so when I add flavors to it.. it dilutes the mg down a bit. Easy Peasy.

Once I mix a batch of 400ml, it stays in a cool, dark space in my desk to parcel out in 40ml bottles that I get free from work. (they come in catheter kits and are thrown away unless I snag them.. I'm a scavenger!)

I have 1500ml of 48mg nic in my freezer. I probably need to transfer it to glass, it's all still in the containers from wizard labs.

I'm glad I enjoy the juices I make because I can't imagine how much it would cost me to buy it all premade!

Thank you, Super X. Couldn't be easier.

I made my first batch of unflavored tonight. I am surprised at how delicious it is. This may be the best kept secret in vaping.
