Again - THANK YOU ! ! ! As for DIY and mixing these . . . NOPE - NA DA - NOT HAPPENING . . . since I got "nicotine poisoning" once from a minor mishap just trying an "e-liquid" - NO WAY I'm gonna get into DIY (other then adding a few drops of "Liquid Menthol"/"Kolada" to the mix of the flavors I have). . . Thankfully, I have a couple of ECF/Vendor Friends that will make these for "Me" to try . . . :thumbs: Matter of fact, "You" lost "Me" with the reference to "Sugarless Lollies" (Although, being a diabetic - sugarless is a very good thing) and I really do not vape any flavors (with only a couple of exceptions) that are that are Food/Drink related at all . . . :facepalm:

Now as for that "Unflavored" - "e-liquid" (especially that's already made up at 24 nic) . . . @ "Kas" - was that "You" or does anyone else know where to get this ? ? ?
question-mark-smiley-emoticon.gif






As a Counselor in "Human Behaviour Modification" - I can not only professionally, but personally attest to this. More importantly, "You" can see that this is just one of the many reasons that people have a major problem with changing both habits and addictions, especially with the addiction and quitting smoking . . . Which "You" can also see throughout ECF (especially if you check out this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...dicted-smoking-habit-support-chat-thread.html and it contiuation here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/519384-still-smoking-support-chat-thread.html ). . . Cig look a likes or MODS . . . Vapor or TH . . . More Power - less power . . . Bigger = Better . . . Who really knows, however I can state that it is all a personal preference to what will work for "You" . . . AND - That in itself has been and still is one of "My" problems when I started and now today with becoming a Full time Vapor . . . I wanted a "Cig a like" (KR808D-1 which I still use today, along with a couple of MODs & Now "My" BB :thumbs: ) and am still looking for that "True Menthol Tobacco" Flavor to become "My" ADV that will assist "Me" in the "Transition into the Vaping World" to reach the ultimate goal I have now - To Quit Smoking altogether (originally I started only to cut back and regain control of how much I was smoking - never even considered quitting smoking until I read other's stories AND - To be perfectly honest here, I actually started smoking more when the Anti-smoking people started and all the laws that were enacted - so I couldn't smoke where and when I WANTED TO that I actually started chain smoking 3-5 cig's before getting somewhere I couldn't smoke) . . . I hope some of this is helpful or informative . . . :facepalm:





OH and Don't forget that "retired1" mentioned in that thread that ECF will try to keep people updated with what is happening via "FB" & "Twitter" too . . . :D



:shock: OH MY - PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT "My" Spelling's or Grammar . . . :facepalm:

So what was the question? 24 mg e-juice, that is what I was vaping, but I have been reducing my nic this year, but I DIY, I have been sense last July, before that I was really into 5 pawns juice. I hardly ever have vaped a tobacco flavor though, I do remember that 5 pawns was going to stop selling the 24mg, I haven't bought any premade sense I started DIY.

Here is a link to where I bought my e-juices before I started the DIY thing, I just clicked on Halo to see if they still carry the 24 and it looks like they do. I hope this helps.:)

I can't find where I saw it but someone was talking about unflavoured nic that had a close expiry date (6 months) that was deliberately oxygenated (I think) which gave it a strong taste and TH.

Sorry Kas I though it was you. :(

It might have been me, you might be talking about VaporsTek Nicotine, they have 2 different types one they call throat hit nic that is deliberately oxygenated to add throat hit and he sells it at $45.00 a liter, but I did not buy it I bought his expensive stuff, because I was stockpiling, I am done now though. (I now have 10 Liters in the freezer) I am glad that I did this though because Indiana is trying to ban DIY in our state, so I have enough for a little while. :)

That was it. Its odd to see US folks stockpiling. It took me ages to get to 3.5 48mg litres but we only vape 6-8mg so that make a lot of Eliquid. A few Australian companies have setup in NZ which is very good at our current exchange rate and I think you have inspired me to get some more. :)

I am not sure if I mentioned this before but what I was stockpiling was all 100mg/ml nicotine, I rebottled all of it in glass bottles and purged all the air out with argon. When I was mixing at 24mg I could just see how much nicotine I was using, as I was going threw the stuff quickly, so I am trying to get down to 12mg, to conserve my supply.

I just want to add that the vape apocalypse in the USA is going to hit Indiana first, the laws once approved are supposed to go into effect on 07-01-2015

It can sometimes be a false economy to reduce the nic mg and then vape twice as much (consumables are more expensive than nic). For some strange reason when I first started I just mixed at 8mg so I stayed with it but even at that level if I go down to 4mg I vape much more. I calculated with our current gear we vape about 5mls a day each on average, tootle puffers to the max :) it was quite scary when I setup kayfuns and gennies though we went through Eliquid at a rate of knots. It was just too much. At current pieces I cost my DIY between 9-13c/mil (depending on the concentrates) and that includes shipping so I save a lot vs buy premixed.

Well right now I am mixing at 16 mg, and I have not really been vaping more to compensate, it is kind of hard for me to tell how much I go threw though. I have 7 provari's in front of me with 6 Kayfuns on them and 1 ruzgar, and of course 2 BB's also, all with different flavor's in each one. :)

I worked it out by filling a bottle for each flavour (me - 3 and hubby 4) every Monday and seeing what was left the next Monday. After doing that for a few weeks I got a good idea of the amount. Because I only add nic to the weekly supply I have to mix it anyway so it becomes a routine. If you are vaping more of one flavour just use a bigger bottle :)

:lol: I'm the same way! I always have to "fudge it" on surveys when they ask how much I vape in a day - I have no clue! :laugh:

That's funny. I suppose because we DIY and have such a long lead time to getting more concentrate I had no choice but to work it out so I could plan purchases and of course when I am playing with new recipes there is a lot of wastage.

Looks like I need to start looking for some nic to stockpile before the tobacco companies big push to get everyone back on stinkies. What a wonderful government we have. But they keep getting elected every election and it all starts at the top.

My biggest fear is that the regulators over here will stop nic imports and then we are totally screwed.

Its interesting..........going nic free doesn't scare me as much as when I was smoking. At least I will have the sensation and hand to mouth with vaping and things like flash/menthol/koolada can mimic throat hit even cinnamon (yuck)

Its cheaper at MFS (myfreedomsmokes) they have 1 litre 100mg for $40 at the moment. Not sure what your shipping is though.

Everybody seems to have their favourite. Personally I use such a small amount that I am happy buying mine from china (shock horror).

Thank Krisma I'll check that out. I haven't a clue but I'm not going to be caught without. One of our senators said the soonest it could go into affect if it's passed here is Oct. I believe.

Ya I can get 2 liters there for $100.00. I hate the new system. What ever happened to Gal., Qt., PT., in., ft., and Mile?

About a year ago, before I had so many mods, I had figured it out at about 6 to 8ML's per day, I think I am still close to that. I do know I chain vape on weekends and evenings.

I bought 4 liters of that in January, just could not pass up on the price.

someone posted a discount code for 20% off on another thread. :)

It worries me.......gotta have my nic. A few months ago I tried to go to 18 from 24. that was way too big of a drop at once. I lasted a week and had to go back up to 24.

Notice the coupon code that Kas put Look eyeballs with finger pointing down.gif One person said that they say it doesn't work with the liters, but it does. Several have used it with a 2 liter purchase which will give you free shipping. 2 liters for 80.00

Debadoo the way I have been reducing my nicotine, I went from 24 to 20, then did that for 2 months, I just started doing the 16, and I will stay there for another 2 or 3 months before trying the 12, that is another reason I like DIY, I could even try a drop of 2MG if I wanted to, taking it down to 14. :)
