You will be hard-pressed to find 18mg 50/50 juice made with freebase nicotine in a local shop (but it could be possible). The juice market has changed in that if you want freebase juice, the vast majority only come in under 18mg and in 70VG thinnest as the market believes that any vapers who vape freebase juice today are high powered cloud chasers who want <10mg juice in high VG (although this is not true of course), so they push low powered vapers to salt nic. To get 50/50, you will mostly find Salt Nic (aka Nic Salt) juice in 20MG or higher, all the way up to 50mg, which is insane.
There are exceptions I guess, but this is the rule these days with 99% of commercial juice brands.
Even though you are not planning on making your own juice right now, but plan to in the future out of necessity, you have to buy your nic base now as it may not be available later or it might be taxed at $2,800 per liter. No joke. It has legally been put on the table in the federal govt at least 2 times now, but has died every time. And that is on top of any state vapor taxes your state may have. It's only a matter of time until a federal tax is reintroduced into some year-end bill and finally passes. Also, you have the USPS ban to deal with and then state bans. Veteran vapers who are just now feeling the squeeze of government may not have the liberty to "just buy nic base later when I figure it out".
That said,
TBD Liquids still sells 50/50 freebase juice and you can custom order 18mg. I believe that
EC Blend Flavors also sells it but last I checked (last year) their shipping was ridiculously high. I also don't know if either one ships to MN.
