What level nic do you use for DIY

[Caveclown]

Hello and good day to you all,

I got into ecigs about 3 years ago and quit smoking due to them, however I fell off the wagon about a year ago, and then again decided to quit again... This time I dug deeper into types of ecigs on the market (due to a friend who I knew who always had some cool new ecig gadget while I had my blu ecig and eventually a few manual 510 types from china). Anyways, I got back into it, got myself a VV, now wishing I had got a vamo since it has VV/VW.. but my next upgrade will be something like that.

So I have now been about 3 months again without analogs, and am loving it, I am now getting into the whole making my own juice as it goes great experience wise with the whole rebuilding atomizers and ecigs... something about me enjoys the whole process, and its nice to be able to customize and create! There is however one issue at hand, due to living in Canada I am not sure whom to look for, for do it yourself supplies. There are lots of american companies that sell 500+ml bottels of nic higher then 48%.. think its 100... but I have no luck finding anything higher then 48% up here. I of course worry about ordering from the USA due to it being stopped, and I would like to support Canadian companies even though from what I hear it is alot more expensive.

Would anyone be able to give me a list of any good Canadian places to purchase pg, vg, flavor, and nic base? I read over the Canadian forums, but since I am new (first time post) I can post here for now, so I figured I would introduce myself and ask all in one. Thanks in advance!

I use 100mg per ml Nic base.
Pros and cons are:
Pro you don't have to use as much so you can store a lot in a small space.
Cons are that you have to be careful with it because it is so high a nic level. Costs more as it is a higher concentrate. Have to be really careful when you measuring as a mistake could be more of a problem at that level.
If you use a high nic level juice like I do, 30+% it makes it easier. You can always dilute it but you can't make it stronger. So if you use higher than say 16-24mg per ml then the higher level nic base is the way to go.
OH the reason I use a higher level nic than many is I use to smoke up to 4 cigars a day and I inhaled. I know crazy. I also smoked them to a nub where the nic and other bad stuff would be concentrated at the end. LOL

i usually use 6 mg, but sometimes i mix a 6mg and a 0mg depending on the juice.

I buy my base at 48mg, 100%PG. I also have pure PG and pure VG too, with no nic or flavoring. My wife prefers 24mg, around 70/30 pg-vg, and I like 18mg, around 50/50 pg-vg. 48mg base makes the math easy and it's not too dangerous or expensive.

Thank you for the welcome, and I look forward to being able to post on the Canadian forums instead of just lurking on them. And I would like to add a big thank you to all the people involved in these forums, they have given me so much great info that has helped me delve properly into the world of e cigs. I can remember when I got my first blu e cigs from the states (my sister brought them up for me when she was living down in the states) and I thought they were the greatest things in the world... funny how that changes once you find people who know what real ecigs are about... not knocking blu they were a great starter intro device for me, but compared to the stuff out there today... vv/vw and all the different types of mods... well you know what I mean.
