It hasn't all come in yet, but I've got 300 ml's of different flavors due in any day now. I haven't even started vaping yet...got my e-cig but the 2 liquids I bought were 36 mg and was way too strong for me. I'd like to get some more because I will be po'd if they are banned. Same thing happened to me with the loose tobacco. I just started that in March, and found out about the tax, so I bought 20 lbs of loose tobacco laying around, but I'd much rather e-smoke.

Read something similar to this but can't find it now.

Boil some tobacco, Skoal, etc.
Add it to VG/Pg/water..Instant ejuice.
Don't know how to measure the nicotine content but it's got to be there.

This would obviously be some trouble but it should work shouldn't it ?:confused:

The problem with this, is that you will potentially be getting all the "other" additives in the tobacco, some of which we know are carcinogens.........

While we don't know the long term effects of vaping, we are pretty sure it is better, only because of the lack of the carcinogens found in processed tobacco.......

Of course if all else fails we could go the tomacco route.........

I see your point, but I would think the carcinogens would be reduced somewhat due to the fact that we're not burning the tobacco directly; using Skoal as an example.

I obviously don't have a clue about this theory of mine but I'd personally trust it as much as inhaling something unknown from China like I do now.

I do understand your point though.

If I cut all my 36mg to 18mg and include all the 18mg I also have, I've got approx 1050mls which would last me about 1yr. Longer obviously if I cut it more which I will do to try and wean to 0 nic if it becomes impossible to get.

All this juice doesn't just sit there. I use it and often sell to friends and family who are new to vaping and don't have the supplies on hand I do. More is then ordered and goes to the back of the line. No panic, stalking of mailmen, freaking if the supplier is out of stock or takes a bit to ship. I've been there and I have no desire to repeat.

300mls of 36mg were bought at once for my comfort zone. The rest has been because of really good sales or adding a bottle here and there for free shipping. Avg turnover every month for just myself is 90mls and I usually sell at least 60mls to others. At the very least I have complete turnover in 7mnths.

If things become impossible to get from local suppliers I will look overseas and expect I will be the one family and friends will rely on to keep us all going for as long as possible. At current levels approx 300mls/mnth. My current supply hopefully will give us enough of a cushion to weather delays or outright losses while only being able to get small shipments.

I currently have about 1000ml of liquid, 36 atomizers, 20 batteries. I'm not taking any chances!

PVs has changed my life, I just can't imagine going back so I have been stocking up over the past 2 months. I'm at the point I feel good about my supply, but every week or so I get in bit of a panic reading all of the FDA threads and go on another buying binge!

How many puffs is 2ml?

No idea. I guess it would depend on your puffing style, and also the model of e-cig. My Screwdriver uses up a ton more liquid than, say, a penstyle or whatever. Me, I think I vape about 1.5 ml a day using the SD, 2ml if I'm really crankin'. If I'm just puffing on my penstyle then I doubt I'm even using one ml.

it does vary depending on the device and how you puff, but there are 20 drops per ml and 2 drops is approximately equal to one cigarette, in terms of number of puffs (at least for me, anyway). And, there's approx. 15 puffs in a cigarette. So, using 15 puffs per 2 drops, that sorts out to 150 puffs per ml. That is a rough estimate, though, which will vary depending on both how you puff and your device. So, your mileage may vary.

That does give me a pretty good idea. Thanks! :)

What's the specific web address for that central trade place? I want a liter.

Electronic Cigarette Portal

Think of it this way: if you vape 2ml a day, then 365ml will only last you six months. Ha! I did math! And probably screwed it up but still, 500-1000 ml does not seem like crazy talk to me.

Yeah, But if you cut your e-juice 50/50, then 300ml will last you about 10 months ( 300 days, And I averaged 30 days a month. )

I used to cut mine around the 50/50 mark. Now I tend to make it 60/40 ( 60% juice 40% Glycerin ). If I get me some stronger menthol ( currently using 24mg ), I can cut at 33/66 ratio ( 1:3 ) and Add in menthol crystals to bump the flavor back up. That will really let you stretch your e-juice supply. And I'm finding that about 14 - 16mg of nicotine is the sweet spot for me. And a good full 24mg right when I wake up, and right before I go to bed.

It takes a while to figure out what mixtures work the best for you, But once you do...You are one happy vaporer.

Yep, that's why I'm only buying 36mg juice now. Kinda boggles my mind that it always costs exactly the same as low-nic or even no-nic stuff!
