alex,
on the odd chance this will sound negative,
are you sure you are ready for 100mg/ml DIY?
Sounds like you are somewhat unfamiliar with buying e-juice.
I suggest staying with something lower, still can be fun, inexpensive, and safer than 100.
The sources listed in the previous post also sell the lower strength stuff.

Yep, definitely be careful if you decide to use the 100 mg/ml stuff. Maybe start with a lower concentration to be on the safe side.
Oh, and sometimes the lower concentration nic is actually a better deal (price per mg). So, don't automatically think the 100 mg/ml is going to be a better bargain.

100mg/ml is that dangerous?
I have a box of nitrile glove, safety glasses and a good calculator for proportions!
OK just to test my mixing capacites!
20% flavouring = 2ml out of 10ml
I want to dilute 100mg/ml to 25mg/ml in 10ml so...
25/100 = .25
.25x10 = 2.5ml of 100mg/ml nicotine
and the other 5.5ml is vg cause I want 100% vg juice.
just to be sure that my numbers are ok lets say I would like a 6ml batch at 21mg/ml concentration:
100mg/ml x ( y/6ml) = 21mg/ml
Y = 21/100x6 = 1.26ml per 6ml
So my final number for the 10ml of 25mg/ml concentration are:
2ml of flavouring + 2.5 ml of 100mg/ml nicotine solution + 5.5ml of vg = 10ml of 25mg/ml 100% vg yummy juice
For god sake correct me if that mix is going to kill me
and I have no children at home but I will put a big warning sticker on the bottle.

It would be 1.21 ml of 100 mg/ml nic in 6 ml, and 2.5 ml of 100 mg/ml in 10 ml. I'm guessing you switched examples while you were typing it up. Very important not to do that when mixing the samples.
Never mind, I misread.
Also, many people prefer to mix down their 100 mg/ml to a lower concentration if they are going to be making smaller batches of juice. A mistake of + 0.5 ml of 100 mg/ml in a 6 ml batch is much larger than a mistake of 0.5 ml of 50 mg/ml in a small batch. If that makes sense...
I mix mine down to 22 mg/ml for small test batches and only use the 100 mg/ml if I'm making a 60 ml batch.

Spaz,
I agree that high Nic is best for making larger batches. I don't change up flavors much and mix a few hundred ml of juice for the wife and I at a time.
For smaller 10ml mixes, something already diluted to 36mg/ml, with VG if you want, is easier to manage.
alex,
you got your answer as to WHERE to buy and seem to be up on the math, and precautions.
Good luck, save money, have fun, and be safe.
As far as calculators? I think of the typical GPS joke that has the sentence "Turn Left NOW" as the punch line when people mention calculators
So easy to follow.
Finalize your "calculations" with a check:
Nic strength of a mix is ALWAYS
Total number of milligrams of Nicotine divided by the Total Final Volume of the mix.
ALWAYS. And surprisingly the answer comes out in mg/ml

Yeah I had a .5ml mistake in my 6ml batch example it is 1.26ml and not 1.21.... I make that example fast, but I will reverify coples times before mixing... 1.26ml of 100mg/ml for 6ml of total... it gives 21mg/ml
The conclusion I think I'm ready for 100mg/ml DIY...
thanks everyone

I don't want to put a damper on your NIC party, but, If you have to ask if 100mg nic/ml is dangerous....I suggest you start with a 48 or 36mg/ml of nic for your DIY. 100mg/ml IS EXTRMELY DANGEROUS IN A BEGINEERS arsnel. Just sayin' Please!! be careful and vent! vent! vent! with all nic but especially the XTRME!!!100mg/per ml.See you in the Vapehaze

Did you notice, heard or witness a vaper or a ecf member die or being gravely injured after trying to mix with 100mg/ml? I mean you seem to exaggerate a bit with the XTREME...
I know if you drink it your gonna be in bad shape but...
Let's pretend the worst case: you make an almost impossible mixing error and you take one puff of 100mg/ml juice, what? are you gonna die in one minute? I doubt it, maybe feel really bad for an hour or two...
We don't talk about 99% pure nicotine! some people vape 40 or 45mg/ml and by just doubleling it you would encounter dead?
I doubt it I doubt it... anyway
thanks for sharing your thougts and for you carefullness

Alex, I buy 60mg. Two reasons. First, when I cut it in half I am at 30mg already - easily safe. Secondly, it was actually cheaper (strong reason)...
I buy 250ml at a time. When it arrives I divide it into 30ml bottles (25ml per bottle). I also have some PG in 30ml bottles. I store them together in the fridge (no kids). When I want to mix - I grab one of each bottle and pour them into my mixing beaker - it is now 30mg. I start from there and mix it and the level of VG and flavors I want to use in 15ml bottles. When I am finished I easily have a good mix of usually somewhere around 18mg - 22mg for me to vape - some flavors I like a stronger nic and others lower - same with the VG levels.

Alex,
I'm sure most of the responses were not meant to offend you.
It's not much different than reloading ammo. If you are careful, I mean like
really careful, it saves money (besides, it's hard to buy factory ammo that works on zombies).
As someone that has been vaping and doing DIY for a few years I like to offer cautious advice to those that may not
be as careful as they should be only because of a lack of experience. 100mg/ml Nic Juice is the new "5 volts". People read about it, and want it. There's no IQ test to buy it or mix with it. Some even see it as a way to mix and sell to others.
Those that have messed with it (and survived) tend to watch for posts that indicate a lack of experience in a new poster.
Questions about the obvious are one way to spot someone that is new to this. Maybe giving the Noob DIY mixer the 'fifth degree' is one way to force them to rethink or research a little more before starting off with the hard stuff.
Plenty of good things to read, become knowledgeable of the techniques to not only be safe, save money, but not waste time and money mixing up something totally unvapeable.
There is even a comprehensive " DIY e-juice mixing tutorial " that might help you (Google for it).
The previous comment about 60mg/ml being a little cheaper is sometimes true. The 60mg/ml nic juice has more VG (or PG) in it, that you have to buy anyway. Price out the whole job, Nic, VG/PG and flavors.
Anyway,
The best to you. Enjoy DIY mixing. Maybe one day you can venture into e-cig modding. A lot to learn there also.

I did the pricing calcs for my 60mg including what my total ingredients would be for my mix levels. I have only made two bulk purchases to date. This last time it was cheaper due to the sale, but the first time even when it was not cheaper - the difference was less than a penny per ml. Not enough to worry over compared to the ease of mixing.
Im already a modder, for my part I started buy modding before mixing...
Modding is to have fun and mixing is to save money..
But finally I bought 60mg nic base..
Again a big thanks for all your advises
And btw I'm really not offended, maybe I look a bit offended but trully I'm not ... And I think it would be out of the track to be offended in that situation...
your doing a great job warning the beginer of potential risk..
Thanks

You will be glad you made the jump to DIY. Start with recipes on the forum and then start tweaking your own. Less chance of getting something unvapable (I did it in reverse - so learned the hard way - but I did tweak them until they were vapable - I cannot bring myself to throw out good juice).
Good luck with your venture into DIY and your modding efforts.

Alex...wtg on doing your research(I'm researching DAILY)in this wonderful new world of vaping! it's always changing and becoming more exciting. As my DIYing is such a hobby with me(it's my ohhhhmmmm)lol, I know you have a program for DIY'n but take a look at this one. I'm leaving a link at the end for ya. This is my favoriteprogram, due to all the variables, eg; all normal calculations for joose, however, you can input your cost of materials and it breaks it down, along with your total mix and a cost break-down for you. There is an area you can combine different pre-mixed you might have w/diff levels of nic/mg & combines with your final nic...theres sooo much for DIY'ers on this site I can't list it all. Main thing, is have a blast....let your tastebuds soar...See you in the VapehazeMy E-Liquid (E-Juice) Recipe - Short Url: My E-Liquid (E-Juice) Recipe
