22. Nicotine strength
a. The maximum nicotine strength of eliquids allowed to be offered for sale on ECF by Suppliers is 36mg or 3.6%. No liquid of strength higher than this can be specifically offered or specifically mentioned by Suppliers. Trade deals are exempt, within private supplier boards only, as higher strengths are needed for trade bulk mixing. Note that there are shipping restrictions in some countries for toxic materials, which can be obtained by application to your local Postal Service and private shippers, and you are cautioned not to contravene these restrictions.
b. Suppliers can sell whatever strength they wish with the exception of pure nicotine (900mg / 90% and above). Sites that sell pure nicotine will be blocked by ECF. We define 'pure nicotine' as 90% / 900mg/ml or higher.
c. There is a limit on public discussion of 200mg (20%) maximum for mixing discussion, recipes and tutorials, and also in the Classifieds.
d. The use of 'Pure Nicotine' cannot be discussed (in detail) on public forums on ECF (trade forums are exempt) due to the hazard [1] - see Notes below. That is to say, it can be mentioned in passing but not discussed at length especially as regards mixing.


Notes

[1] It has become obvious that some members joining in discussion of pure nic do not have any idea of the danger, or any knowledge of working with hazardous chemicals, or even any basic knowledge of measurements. Pure nic is as dangerous as cyanide - opening a bottle in a room can result in all present being poisoned. It must be handled in a fume cupboard, with hazmat precautions. Pure nic can be theoretically defined as: Nicotine 100%, 1000mg, 1000mg/ml, but is more likely to be found as 998mg, 997mg/ml or 990 mg (99%). We consider anything over 90% / 900mg to be 'pure nic'. No discussion of use or links to suppliers are allowed.

There is a very real danger of death or hospitalization with this material and ECF cannot support any publicity of its use or sources. There is no need to use it since far safer strengths are available for bulk mixing, such as 48mg (4.8% nicotine in PG or VG), 60mg (6%) 100mg (10%), and so on. To protect our members and ourselves we do not allow discussion or sources of anything over 200mg (20% nic) except within private trade forums.

Trade promotion on ECF cannot exceed 36mg strength. Vendor's sites can sell any strength up to 89% though we advise vendors to limit sales to 10% / 100mg/ml where possible. Sites selling pure nic will be banned.

I want to start mixing liquid and I was referred to totally wicked, but I'm not sure what all I need. The site does a good job showin how to adjust nicotine strength but what about the pg/vg ratio?

Can anyone recommend a one stop shop for supplies and instructions?

You need to start by reading the stickies (the posts at the very top) of this forum, then read the rest of them. It will not only help you understand the process, but give you the benefit of all the veterans' experience in brands, methods, flavors, etc and most any question you have has been asked before.

I would recomend ordering your Nic / PG & VG from Wizardlabs.us. You cant beat the price and he packages the stuff to survive a nuclear holocaust. Everything is sealed and caps are even taped. Not to mention best CS IMO. For flavoring I couldn't recommend Capellas more and that is coming from a person who started with TPA flavorings. Trust me your going to save yourself a lot of headaches and it makes DIY much easier. You wont get a chemical or perfumey taste like you do with TPA.

For basic info, the stickys on the top of this sub.
For flavorings for the beginner, Capellas is a good choice.
For a calculator, I use Scubabatdan's that is also in the sticky's and I really like it.

Sometime before your eyes start bleeding, my DIY blog to get an idea of how I do things.

Questions, post here. Lots and lots of great folks on here!
