I've never kept notes or use pipettes or syringes I do use Graduated Cylinders and glass eye droppers because I buy big bottles of my favorite flavors I have 7 or 8 recipes that i use on a daily basis so I mix in 60ml batches so they have time to steep

hey there Kim i usually mix up 10 or 20ml at a time

Ok, here's a question. I saw some 18mg unflavored nicotine on one of the sites that sell DIY stuff, can't remember off hand which one though. Anyway, since all the juice I buy is 18mg is it as simple as buying some flavoring & adding a few drops to the unflavored nicotine and make my own?

pretty much yes but keep in mind that whatever flavoring you add will lower your nic a little

Pretty much what I do with the DIY concentrate...I do 3-4 drops in my 6ml bottle now. Only problem is that there is no time to steep. I need some bottles to mix in- Anyone have suggestions. Simple is better. I know I won't be measuring really accurately. Last time I mixed my nic juice I used the 3.6% nic/VG and mixed half and half with pure VG (2 30ml bottles) and then poured them into an old AVE 120 ml bottle so it was easy to get them mixed well by shaking the big bottle a lot. Then I can use the spout to easily push out juice into the small Reo bottles (3ml too) which I fill about half full- add my super concentrated drops, shake a few times, and then fill the rest of the way, leaving enough space for the tube and then shake the bottle again several times- this is an every day procedure. I have bought a few more flavors from VapingZone and they are pretty much spot on. If a pure tobacco flavor is a bit harsh (like Desert ship, Real Cig or Dunhill, I can add a drop of Black and Mild and it will mellow. I figure that even with the amount of vaping I do in a day, I'm right at about a quarter a day for my juice!!

Good question- last time I ordered, I had nic and vg in my cart and was almost ready to pay but on a whim, I thought "could this be cheaper somewhere else," so did a bit of research and ended up buying my nic and vg (kosher!) from Best Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - MyFreedomSmokes.com I don't recall if it was on sale or not, but I saved a few bucks just the same. Compare prices and shipping costs too... Both came very quickly to my house!!

Those prices sure are good! I think there are many good suggestions here. Buy from where is cheapest (I think all vendors mentioned here provide very pure substances) and compare shipping costs. I was surprised that when I got my 3.6% VG Nic in 250ml size, it came in a glass bottle! Yeah, added bonus. This can be put in the freezer just like this if you want to store some away for the "just in case" scenario. :)

I see that at Ecigexpress they have base liquids at various nicotine levels. Does this me that I can get a 50/50 VG-PG mix say at 12mg nicotine and just add flavoring and be good to go. I ask this because I really don't have a place or facilities to do any real mixing.
Hi Ray :)

Yep! When I went in there the other day, they mixed my order on site...only took a few minutes. We've been buying from them because they're just 5 minutes from our house.
