yeah...

I just paid over $20 including shipping for a juice I oculd have easily made. That pisses me off... the description and newbie reviews made it sound like it was going to be amazing. I bit, I lost...


but DIY isn't the easiest thing for a lot of people. If you can do it well, then you're great... I have tried a few times and crashed.

I diy simple flavors...

Not sure where you get your nic base... this makes a difference too.

I can get 250mls of nic base for the price of one bottle of halo from some places...

I prefer Xtremevaping's nic base... it's quite superior to many... crystal clear... great quality control. more expensive... but not bad.
You'll have a hard time finding a base as good as halo's that cheap.

anyway, like I said, I just do simple flavors like menthol... and a couple others.

kudos to you if you can do complex flavors. I can't... but crystal clear liquid and good flavoring from a place like decadent vapors makes it doable to some extent.

I just got 500ML of this in today
» 100mg/mL – 100% PG Nicotine Base (For Mixing Only)

60.00 + 12.00 for shipping. They even kindly put in a pair of safety glasses and nitrile gloves.
A nice touch, but I already have my own, along with respirator :)
All I need now is a rubber apron and I'll feel like I'm back in Chem lab! :)

I also got a pound of menthol crystals today. My plan is to make a supersaturated solution of menthol to add to diluted Nic along with some peppermint. Kind of hard to go wrong with that.

But I also got some other flavors to play around with in small quantities.

@ Mike Sheda

I dont think you need all that safety equipment for 100mg nic,if you were working 1000mg it would different.

I can see the eye protection and the gloves, which I had planned on using anyway.

I was just saying that if I had the rubber apron and used my respirator (I got it for sawing cement ) I would feel like I was back in a chem lab. For this stuff, just a little common sense goes a long way.

Its a good idea tho too be safe using the equipment ,if you have pets make sure ya dont drop any on the floors,i have goggles and a mask too and the gloves just in case.I make small batches so i am pretty safe.I just make about a tank full each time,i only use 10 drops@ 100mg too work with.Make sure you shake uo the nic well as you dont want ''HOT SPOTS'' in the liquid.

You can find anything on the internet! :)

Nope.. menthol crystals... nice long menthol crystals. filled the 2oz jar full, added PG.. drained off some, added more crystals, draining off more today to add more crystals to it. I have yet to reach the super saturation point. But man that stuff will clean out your sinuses! :)

I bet it will. I forgot the rules that is how flustered I was at your comment. Have you attempted to vape the supersaturated? That would be an interesting experience to say the least

yeah I bet it would. I think I'll wait until my sinuses are fully clogged until I try that... but it does make a great muscle rub! :)
