where can you buy pure PG and VG, and nicotine to build your own juice?

[paulw2014]

Anywhere we can buy those ingredients to build our own juice from scratch?　The nicotine part is probably hard...

thanks

I get most of my DIY from ecigexpress.
http://www.ecigexpress.com/

They have nic base and most of the more popular flavoring brands.

There are several vendors on the approved vendor list that sell these items. Off the top of my head, wizard labs, DIY flavorshack, ecigexpress. I am sure there are many more as well.

You can look at the DIY forum, there is a lot of great information there.

Ecigexpress I think has the best price on pg and nic. I usually just pic up vg from a department store like meijers. For flavoring, I really like perfumer's apprentice.

I buy all mine from highdesertvapes.com
John is awesome to deal with, great prices, selection and customer service.

thanks, is it a lot cheaper to mix your own juice than buying premixed?

I find that the best prices are at Wizard Labs

Theoretically, yes, it is much cheaper than buying premixed. That is only if you know exactly what you need to buy for your recipes.

Starting out it is impossible to know what your going to like so be prepared to spend quite a bit initially. At least that is true in my experience.

I keep it simple , Im a tobacco lover, and I like real extracted tobacco so seeing as I dont think I want to buy bulk leaves etc. I buy my special juice and I make my own simple 50/50 PG VG with about 12mg nic, I add a couple drop of organic orange and a couple drops of clove or just plain. I am a heavy vapor so I have to control myself. I could easily go thru a 30ml bottle in 4-5 days so it can get costly.

I bought my nicotine from ecigExpress (100mg nic 30ml) for $11.
Bought my PG and VG from Madvapes (4 oz - 118ml) for $3 each.
Got flavors from the 2 above, plus Walmart (extracts).

... is it a lot cheaper to mix your own juice than buying premixed?

I calculated mine in a spreadsheet. (Columns J-S show the total price 10ml of nic, PG/VG, and flavor). Hidden row #3 contains the nicotine mg value for calculations.

Most definitely so!

Best place for nic concentrate is Wizard Labs, great juice...great price!

My Freedom Smokes will soon be selling their brand flavors in concentrate and if you haven't tried the 4 Star General yet, I suggest you do so immediately! They are also a decent source for other concentrates.

flavorapprentice.com is the best place I've found for flavors. Really good pricing and an incredibly large selection.

As for VG and PG, you can get VG at WalMart or nearly any pharmacy but if you want really good prices buy in bulk try Bulkapothecary.com. less than $14 for 10 pounds. PG is also pretty cheap, 8 pounds for $20.

I also would consider someplace like Amazon for PG and VG.

Another thing to consider, some people I see searching for "vegetable glycerin" and really it's not necessary to worry about whether the glycerin comes from veggies or not. Well....not unless you have religious reasons for your preference. Glycerin is glycerin...if it's pure (99.5% or higher) from where it was derived makes no difference...it'll vape just the same
