vape mail. Nicotine flavorings and 43 oz of VG

You guys have really got me thinking about DIY. Started looking stuff up and got a little over whelmed. Feel like I need to be a chemist!

Pretty easy to do basic juice especially with a good juice calculator. Most of what I'm doin now is just modifying some of the store bought juices I have by adding a little of this and that. I especially like flavoring a good tobacco like VW Turkish or Reds.

OCC seems to be just about everyone's happy place. I love the stuff myself. I especially love it's good to go without steep time. Seems like most of their fruit flavors really need a 2 week min. steep. Some of mine took 2 months. Thanks for sharing RaptorD.Meezus!

No problem! I'm not sure if it needs to step anymore; it has a very strong flavor already, but I think I need to let it breathe, and maybe dilute it a bit if I want to use it in my Subtank. But I don't know how to do that, so I'll probably just use it in one of my clearos. It was a sample, so I'm not too worried about it.

Side note: VW is going to start offering pre-steeped juices! That's perfect for me

How is their Reds juice? I got some for a friend who was a heavy M-Word smoker. I'm trying to get him into vapimg to get away from the analogs. He's been using the Mark Tens for a while now, and I gave him one of my old eGos, which he's been using for about a month and a half. He went from almost two packs a day down to five cigs or less in the past year.

I never smoked Murlburro Reds but VW's Reds is one of the best tobacco flavors I've tried. I will say it is the closest to a real cigarette as I have found. I would recommend it to a smoker wanting to quit. The only question would be the nicotine strength. Personally with VW nic, I wouldn't go more than 12mg :2c:. It's well worth a try and I can't think of any other I would recommend except the Turkish Type. (My favorite, richer flavor than Reds) :)

I just got a email from them that they have sourced a different nicotine so hopefully it is smoother then what they use now.
I saw the glass bottle pre steeped juice, that's the way to go. All they have to do is make the juice by the jug then when someone ordered it just fill the bottle and add the nic to it. By the time you get it the nic will be blended with the flavoring just fine

It does have a strong flavor but mellows after a few weeks. I personally love it's strong flavor. I never had to breathe it, do you taste/smell chemical notes? What VG/PG is it? I haven't had an issue with 65vg/35pg in my Nautilus Mini or Subtank Mini. Just make sure you prime your coils!

Yeah that's super good news for me as I didn't like their nic at all. With the new VG based nic you nay have to up your level. Also in the email they explain the mystery juice and give another 10% discount. SPRING10 :)

Whoops! I accidentally got 24mg. :O I hope there's some way to cut it, lol.

Wow, new VG based Nic, 4 new flavors, pre-steeped glass dropper bottles. VW is stepping it up.
I hope the price on the pre-steeped juice isn't a lot more or they still keep selling it made to order as an option. Nicotine doesn't mix as well with vg as it does pg but anything will be an improvement over their current stuff. :)

Probably $10 per 30ml which is still fine with me.
I crock pot all my juice when I make it so the vg gets like water, everything blends great like that. Let it sit overnight and it's good to go the next day

I still would rather save the 3 bucks a bottle and steep it myself or just vape it like I do most of them anyway. :) I know you don't run them in the pot overnight. I haven't tried heated water. How long do you leave it in the crock pot?

Well i thought i'd update. After steeping for a while, my "sweet complexity" juice has gone from poop mixed with vomit smell, to a definite rum/ liquor smell. It's bearable now, gonna toss it back into the drawer and forget about it for a while and let it stew some more

I believe I would take the cap off and let it breathe a couple of days............Maybe outside :)

Best way to cut it without losin flavor is to buy some 0mg Reds and mix it half and half. They are now goin to use a new VG nic that should be smoother but in my estimate will probably be a weaker nic hit. Who knows? your friend may want the 24mg. :)

I think this is order number five:

On Cloud Custard e-Juice
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 50% / PG 50% [ Half & Half ], Bottle Size: 30 ml + $4, Flavor Boost: No)

Turkish Type e-Juice
(Nicotine Strength: 6 mg (Light), Bottle Size: 10 ml)

Vape Wild eJuice Sample Pack (60 ml)
(Nicotine Strength: 3 mg (Extra Light), VG / PG Blend: VG 35% / PG 65% [ Higher PG ],

Flavor #1: Raspberry Mojo,

Flavor #2: On Cloud Custard,

Flavor #3: Magma Currant,

Flavor #4: Stars & Stripes,

Flavor #5: Blubacco,

Flavor #6: Ruby Relaxer,

Flavor Boost (applies to all 6 flavors): No)

Trying the 65% PG mix with this sample pack. Also have some samples coming from Nite Lite Vapor. Looking for a good tobacco / RY4 vape to replace the last Silver RY4 I got from ITC Vapes which had to be trashed due to poor quality. That was my go to vape but now I doubt I'll ever order from them again.

I really don't understand why juices like Turkish Type cost more but they give us less options. No choice of PG/VG mix. Fewer nic level options. :( They give us the option of 1.5mg nic on most of their juice but then 6mg or zero is the lowest they offer in the "Type" tobaccos... and it costs more.:?:

Never thought I'd be placing an order for a bigger bottle of OCC but it has grown on me. Once some of the sticky sweetness has steeped out of it, OCC turns into a nice vape.

The Premium Tobaccos are pre-steeped so cost more. High VG and tobaccos don't work.. for me anyway. Not a good enough th. Glad you like the OCC now. I don't particularly like it. :)

I just ordered some Turkish Type too, Leah told me the "Type" blends are not part of the new VG based nic. They are special blends. I got that in 18mg. (60ml)

I was asking about it for the graham cracker too hoping to not be disappointed by the new blend and she said for 18mg nic even with max PG the difference would be about 9% from the previous max PG.

She said my 240ml would come in 30ml bottles too, so they are changing up quite a few things it seems.
