Should I pull the trigger on this order??!!

[Lurch]

On my first order I got 500 ml of 100mg nicotine. I came in a plastic bottle. At the recommendation of the Chemist from Wizard Labs I got three 120ml dark glass bottles. I filled those bottles, labeled them very well, put them into plastic baggies and stored them in the back corner of our freezer. The rest I left in the original plastic bottle and used.

He explained that they used plastic for ease of shipping, but with long term storage the nicotine could leech the plastic a bit. Moving them into smaller, dark, glass containers allowed me to store some while using some, and made it easier to work with.

So that brings up a interesting point i was reading that diy guide on here and it said dont get anything above 60mg/ml of nic just curious cause you said you started with 100mg/ml of nic??

60mg and 100mg are about the same in cost and most recommend lower nic content to new DYI'ers because of safety factors. I started with 100mg and I just made sure I knew what I was doing with it. As long as you do the research and know exactly what your doing I don't see an issue with 100mg. I find for long term storage (freezer) it takes up less space.

I started out with the 100mg/ml because of costs. I never had a problem cutting it down to desired strengths. I couldn't see spending $$$ on lower mg/ml. The 100mg/ml last a good long while too. As Danny mentioned get the ejuicemeup calculator and it'll show you how much you'll need to get the desired mg. Good luck on you DIY journey!

I agree with all of the above... My MUST have list:
VT nic
Essential Depot PG & VG
Glass bottles (mixing and breaking nic into smaller quantities)
A few 1,3,5,10 Ml syringes (needles can be nice, not a must have... but blunt in 22 for flavors and 14-16 for vg)
TFA- marshmallow, ripe banana, pineapple, vanilla swirl, dragon fruit (I have more, but those are go-tos/musts for me)
FA- (MOST are good) Esp. Coconut/Raspberry/Lemon Sicily/Honey/Meringue
Cap- French vanilla V2, (custard v2 if you like custards), Sweet Strawberry
Inerwa- I only have a few Tobaccos, but they are good.
FW- Blood Orange
Hangsen- I don't have... YET.
And my Ultrasonic.... just because Patience is not my virtue...

Also REALLY handy... a dripper... if you don't rebuild somthing along a 306 or HH357 is handy to test flavors as they age so you don't fill a tank and then not like it or find it's not steeped to where you want it.

Point is you don't NEED tons of stuff to diy... Esp not starting out. and Good Luck!

I'm a relatively new mixer myself, and I'd only suggest you trust these good people.

I did - I bought Inawera and Flavor Art flavors, Vapor's Tek nic and the recommended mixing gear - and I'm extremely happy with my DIY experience so far. It's a challenge, yeah, but it's also great fun if you have the right stuff.

Honestly. These guys know what they're talking about!
