What kind of nic carrier is recommended? Sorry I'm full of questions

To add...whichever way you go..pg or vg..you can adjust your mix infinitely.
I do a pg Nic base and usually mix at an 80/20 (pg/vg) ratio. But with minor tweaking it can easily be 70/30...50/50..
I'm still fairly new to diy but it doesn't take long to realize that you can really change up a basic mix with very minor changes in the ratio of the ingredients. One more drop or one less drop of flavoring..one drop of a background flavor...etc...

Holy nut sack, wizard labs has so much stuff. Great site recommendation! Pretty much a one stop shop

Lol @ the mary jane flavor concentrate

They rock...great cs...
Check out ecigexpress for flavor overload.
vaping zone...check the super concentrated alcohol based flavors.

Lol...It's all over now....hooked...good luck...

I was lazy...short on bottles so I didn't dilute it with pg....I know...not smart.
Did 2 short drops to 9 ml...somewhat overpowering but not too bad. Definate frito type taste...

I don't mess with diluting it, myself..1-2 drops per 10 ml seems to work out pretty good, IMO.

 

[hawkizefan]

Good to know, i'll stick with 24mg/ml until I have more experience

Again..I want to stress I was trying to be funny...I'm sorry.
The diy section in this forum has a wealth of knowledge and a lot of recipes.
Do yourself a favor and do a little reading. It's quite interesting and informative.
Of course myself and I'm sure Pitt will be willing to answer anything we can.

Wonder if diluting it would make a diff?
I just bought 20 bottles and I'm short already...Danny addiction...lol

What he said...wait...you're suppose to cut it???

Crap, I didn't catch that part of the statement..that explains soooooo much!Don't forget, when you are mixing and using that high of a strength of nic, make sure you don't wear a respirator, or gloves, or protective eye wear and most importantly..no fans and close any doors and/or windows! Of course..DON'T listen to any of that, in fact, do the complete opposite of that! Make sure before attempting anything with ANY potentially hazardous chemical, including nicotine, to read the warnings posted in the stickies, here: DIY E-Liquid

 

[PittBoss]

You should know by now we never let anyone forgot anything in here

That's one of the reasons we like you so much around here!

 

[PittBoss]

Hold it...that was a bad response....
100 mg Nic is very dangerous stuff. Dangerous to get on your skin or inhale the vapor.
Never mix or vape over 36mg.

I appologize for the response in an attempt at levity.

????????????????????????

As far as a nic carrier, I would suggest PG to begin with. It's easier to work with and know what you are getting.

 

[hawkizefan]

Alright girlfriends...that's me.

Squid...nice chatting with you tonight.
Keg/pitt....y'all know how I feel about you 2....nice chatting anyway

Probably be around some tomorrow but back to Ames/boone Thursday then okaboji Friday for the weekend.
I'll try to check in and see what shiate you're all shoveling.

I still can't believe that one..we try to avoid being labeled and try to keep away from those associations, yet we have an option (albeit a legal "alternative") to that..beautiful, isn't it?

I cannot state this enough. Write EVERYTHING down..every drop, every ml, everything! You can never take too many notes!

Was I not clear????
I'm confused by that.

High Desert also carries a quite a few TPA flavors..so if you are ever in need of better priced equipment (compared to ECX and VZ) check them out as well. Otherwise, I do all of my DIY shopping at those 3 places.

Nerd...
Just wing it I say...
Everyday, every mix is an adventure...lol...

Naw..your right of course....but that's too much like work.

I think it would only make it easier to factor into your mixes.. But I only use it with 3 or 4 of my current regulars and feel that, for me, it works well as is. I personally play it by feel and sometimes, if I think a complete drop will over do it, will dip a toothpick in the AP and swirl it around before doing the same into my mix.

Kick rocks, bud! Lol..Have a good one and I'll catch ya later.

I could have sworn you said to NOT mix any nic that is higher than 36mg..don't you use 100mg nic?

 

[PittBoss]

Why yes, I am right..Nerd or not, WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN! Lol..my notes take their own notes, that's how serious it is!

Well I've got some DIY reading to do the next few days. Thanks for the help tonight, I'm going to go pass out from 100mg/ml nic poisoning.....................
