No shiny news but I do want to say
Store-bought juice sure is sweet. And this means I am going through coils at an alarming rate.
I have a huge file cabinet chock full of all that is needed for DIY. Including tons of nicotine. I lost interest in that hobby also. The saying "necessity is the mother of invention' has not rang true when it came to needing juice on my end. NOTHING could convince me to drag out beakers and 500ml bottles in the last few months.
So I have bought juice online (OMG)
That is my public service announcement for the week.

I don't know the status of your stock piles, but there is an in-between option out there. I have been mixing store juice with my own unflavored bases, and find it works well for me. I pretty much use the store juice for the flavor agent, and then mix in the plain stuff to get to the nic levels I'm vaping today. It might help your coils last longer if you have less sweetened juice in there, and my store stuff hasn't seemed to suffer from the dilution.
My favorites were starting to get scarce several years ago, so I started buying the higher nic levels, and then even the 3 mg's before the companies closed shops. I normally use 6 mg at 50/50, and actually like the way the diluted juices taste and work more than the originals with the 70/30 vg/pg ratio.
so let me get this straight (slow brain) I make a base of say 70vg and 30pg. Add the 6mg nic that I like. I then take a percentage of that whole overall base and add a bottle of 6mg store bought juice to it?
Wouldn't the flavor suffer? I am not opposed to the flavoring. Only the sweetener added

If you mix unflavored juice with your store juice, it will dilute the flavor. I was pretty much making 50/50 store/unflavored, but didn't notice a huge decrease in flavor. It was less intense than the original juice, but it didn't bother me. I did like having less VG in the final product.
If your store juice is 6mg and you want to end with 6mg, then you will want to make a 6mg unflavored base, and dilute to your preference. In my situation, I was either cutting a 12mg to 6mg with a PG/VG mix or adding unflavored 12mg nic base to 3mg store juice. If you aren't sure, I would try mixing a small quantity to see how it works for you.

You mean 6mg, 12mg, and 3mg...right? Because if they're actually those percents...they're 60mg, 120mg, and 30mg. Just wanted to hopefully prevent a DIY newbie who might come along...from thinking that % are the same as mg.

Thank you for catching that. I was able to edit it and change the % into mg for the future readers.
Morning shinies 
I thought I had enough 21700 mods, until I saw that dotmod have a 100w one coming out.
