What's the content of a refill???

[sc0ut]

Please pardon the ignorance, but I am looking for the basic recipe for a refill. This way, i'll know what to buy I'll worry about the ratios later.

Nicotine (vapers choice to add or not - is this nobacco??)
Glycerin (gotta have this - only choice is PG or VG - can buy at drug store)
Flavor (gotta have for taste - can buy anywhere)

Possible combinations:
nicotine + glycerin + flavor
nicotine + glycerin
glycerin + flavor

In all cases - gotta have nicotine.

More glycerin = more vapor??

Am I correct so far?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't done any DIY juice making but there is a whole section of the forum dedicated to it and they would have the best info DIY e-liquid - E-Cigarette Forum

Look for dans mix calculator in the search it will set you straight on how to DIY, The above is just a sample, Also do your research on who you buy your Nic from also flavoring, I would suggest trying tastyvapor for your products. Geoff sells some really good flavours and his doubler package is a great deal, but do your research on how to mix before doing so, it will pay off bigtime, read read and read some more before you just go and buy from a supplier, also I would suggest only buying from suppliers that are here on the ECF Suggested suppliers list, Tastyvapor is one of them and I use them a bunch...!!! good luck

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the nobacco juice that you can buy from V4L has PG already in it, so if you wanted, you could put it straight from the bottle it comes in into your cart and vape with no problems.

I have usually been mixing 50% nobacco juice with 50% VG when I want to refill and it works like a charm for me (a lot of vapor and you still get flavor). It's also good to use extra PG or VG if you want to cut the mg level of the nicotine in your nobacco down.

That's just my simple suggestion, because the DIY juice board confuses the hell out of me sometimes.

You don't buy premade juice? The nobacco name threw me for a while..I thought they meant it was o nic!

That does deserve a

 

[Taryn]

Well yeah if he is buying the premade nobacco juices from V4L then there is no mixing involved at all, unless you are like me and just add a couple drops of VG into the bottle before you refill.

 

[falsedichotomies]

Taryn,

I only suggested that because he asked:
"Nicotine (vapers choice to add or not - is this nobacco??)"
So I thought I'd clarify for him.

I only do the 50/50 trick because I use the high level strength of nobacco and I want to make my bottle last longer. I have a couple bottles of medium strength though and I never even considered adding a couple drops of VG beforehand. I'll have to try that out sometime. Thanks.

 

[Taryn]

I order the higher nicotine juices now too and just cut them down with VG, not half and half by any means though. I'd think the flavor would suffer too much from that?

I know this has been discussed before but taryn do you just add a couple of drops 2 or 3 of glycerine directly into full 5ml juice,and how do you get it in bottles does cap come off.Also I got the humco usp type at wally world is this right?And also do you dilute gylcerine before adding or just add straight.Thanks for any help.Reason asking I tried diluting some and adding 2 drops directly in cart did'nt turn out so good and last question the glycerine I got is skin protectant humco usp is this right?

 

[falsedichotomies]

Haha, it works for me. Maybe I haven't gotten quite gotten all my taste sensations back yet? I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm mostly a tobacco flavor kind of guy anyway (although with my new order, I am experimenting more).

I just like being able to blow out tons of vape!

Sounds like the right stuff to me! I add it directly to the 5ml bottles, the dropper tip comes off if you just press it to the side pull and wiggle (be careful so you don't spill) and you can add it easily then. Start with about five drops in a full bottle and increase it if you want, it's a matter of taste. Since I am adding it directly to the juice bottle I do not dilute it with anything else, it makes the juice a touch thicker but it still vapes great.

Doing this will cut the flavor slightly, the nicotine per ml and the throat hit but ups the vapor production.

Thanks for help,yeah I knew it pick up the vapor which is what I'm looking for so I quess if you had a half bottle you could just add a couple drops without killing flavor?

 

[Taryn]

Yes a couple of drops and I don't notice any change in flavor at all.

 

[Mary Kay]

I have been adding glycerin USB to my liquids all along..it really does boost vapor. But I have to say..Steve and Leaford are getting the factory to do it for us..Not sure when those liquids/cartos will be ready or if they have already started.

 

[leaford]

Yep, we boosted the VG percentage in all our flavors to give more vapor. THat started with our last order, so all our restocked flavors and all our new flavors since around the end of November.
