Want to start DIY (or is it DIM?)

[DarkKarma]

Either way I want to start mixing my own juices to save even more money. I'm thinking I'm going to buy about 120ml of nic juice, but how much PG/VG would I buy with that? I would guess that I'll be using more PG, but not sure yet.

Ps-I took a look at the DIY forum and it didn't seem very active or noobish so I'm here. Thanks

it depends on what strength juice you are getting and what strength you want it to end up being. There are several DIY calculators available. In fact many of the DIY juice sites provide them.

But for example: if you wanted to make 18mg juice and you bought 120mL of 54mg nicotine liquid, you'd need about 320-350mL of PG (or VG if you prefer it).

I am moving this to the DIY e-liquid sub-forum. You should be able to get many more answers over there vs new members sub-forum.

There are some good videos to watch too. DIY is easy: it's just like mixing a gin and tonic with lime (where the gin is the nic juice, the tonic is the PG, and the lime is the flavor)

Here's a good starting place: YouTube - E-CIGS FOR BROKE PEOPLE! Part 3 - DIY Juice

Right now I've only vaped the few juices I bought with my kit, at 16mg/ml they seemed a little low. I figured I'd step it up to 20-24mg and see how that works. My guess would be me either buying a 60 or 100mg/ml nic juice(didn't see many numbers in between.) But bascially what I'm looking for is like 3x more PG if I get 60mg nic juice and vape 20mg, or 5x with 100mg and 20mg respectfully?

Also, I'd prefer to get my supplies from a US vendor, since I'm starting to run down on juice and can't wait for China Air.

BTW, I would check the stickies in this sub-forum, most notably this one:
