urgent! help please. 1Liter 24mg 50/50 Nic Base. cheapest way to go?

[SurphKid11]

this is urgent because i need to place an order tonight, for certain reasons and want to save the most amount of money. so i want to get some DIY supplies to start mixing my own juices. At first i was going to get 215ml 60mg 50/50 nic base, and then pg/vg 50/50 mix to cut with and some PG. and then i found the wholesale part of the online shop and they sell 1 liter of 50/50 mix 24mg nic base for the same price of all buying all 3 of the previous things i listed, since i vape at 24mg and i like a 50/50mix, is it cheaper and more convenient to just get the liter and than flavors since i vape 24mg juice so say if i wanted to make a 15ml bottle i would just put 15ml of the 24mg 50/50 mix in a bottle and then add the flavors, and that would be it? i wouldnt need to dilute it if i want to vape 24mg, right? and how would i store a liter of nicotine? since its going to last me a long time.

yeah you need to download the ejuicemeup calculator and plug in some numbers from a recipe. I got the 100mg and diluted to 50mg all PG. I had some I mixed down to 25mg and ended up having problem with some recipes. To be honest I like my 50mg all PG and mix mostly 60/40 pg/vg.

As stated above, you should look at e-liquid calculators to get the knowledge of what you want to do.
But yes is your answer. That is, 24mg nicotine base , ( regardless of PG , VG , 50/50 , 60/40) is 24 mg of nicotene .
When you add flavoring, it will dilute slightly .
Store in refridge for the longest shelf life.
VAPE ON & safely

First off your not vaping at 24mg if you are starting at 24mg and adding 5% flavoring, by your example it would be 22.8mg. Second I would get it at 25mg so you above mix would be 23.75mg from a vendor such as nicvape.com sells. Unfortunately they do not sell 50/50, only PG or VG base, so I would by vg base 1 liter @ 50mg and add a liter of PG to it resulting in 2 liters of 50/50 25mg nic. Defiantly get a calculator you are comfortable with and learn it before mixing. You can store nic in the fridge or in a dark cool place. Since most nic is either PG of VG or a combination of both the self life is about 2 years. So keep that in mind when ordering. A half liter of 50mg VG base and a half liter of PG might be the way to go. You will need pipettes, syringes, graduated cylinder, gloves and eye protection when mixing. I have found that puppy pads work great for mixing on as if you spill they will absorb the liquid and they are plastic lined on the bottom so no mess and easy cleanup.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Amazingly I learn something new here every day!

Good advice here, love the puppy pad idea! I just want to add- just because you found the wholesale section of the website doesn't mean you can buy it at that price. There are minimums and tax IDs and possibly applications first. Otherwise we'd all be doing it.

And I've been wondering what to do with that stack of puppy pads in the basement. That's an awesome idea!

Lowest cost nic bases I have found. I use them, never had any problems. But it comes in 20 or 30 not 24 so, you'd need a calculator to get what you want in the final mix you want.

Do listen to what the others have told you. It's sound advice.

Puppy pads, who knew? Great idea, pity we bought the scented ones. Nothing a little TFA Kona won't fix.

Glasseye, that avatar busts me up evry time I see it. Thanks for the laughs!

Puppy pads are great for mixing on top of, as well as for Staining and finishing work if you do woodwork. They give a clean lint free surface that absorbs any spillage, protects the surface you're working on, and are disposable.

Be very carefull putting nicotine in the refrigerator. NIcotine stores well in the freezer. Mark everything well. I store small glass bottles of nicotine in the freezer,clearly marked in a coffee can. THe refrigerator concerns me that someone will misstake it for a drink and take a swig of it.

huh? pretty sure you buy it like anything else on their website. its wholesale cuz ur buying a larger quantity for a lower price, there are no tax ids or anything like that.
