Hello, my fellow vapors!!! Who has the finest Nicotine, PG, VG supplies. I have been reading about DIY E liquid and I think I am ready to make my own juice. I am picky and want to buy the finest INGREDIENTS around. I have found this company called Nude Nicotine which seems to be very high quality, but I want to hear all your opinions and facts. Thank you!!!! and vape ON!!!

^^^^^ What he said. The good news is that there's some really good flavors available anymore, but you'll still have to find what works best for you. It's quite a bit of work, but I'd suggest making a list and try to research each flavor at least a little bit. Another problem is finding a vendor that has a wide selection of flavors so that you're not paying multiple shipping fees. I'd recommend starting with small quantities until you know what you like. Best of luck and you'll probably be making some great mixes in no time.

I have been using Vaping Zone gourmet and super concentrated flavorings. They cost a bit more but because you use so much less in a recipe, I find it to be more economical.

Your not kiddin, Vaping Zone flavors are really expensive. I guess hopefully you pay for what you get? Whats your experience DIY with those flavors?

I have only tried the super concentrated and gourmet. Instead of ml's of flavoring in a recipe you literally use drops of this stuff. That is why I know it is more economical. I have figured it up on the calculators. The Gourmet Peach is the best flavoring I have ever used. Taste more like eating a peach instead of like sucking on candy. I have also been pleased with the Pear, Blueberry and Vanilla Rum. As far as tobacco's, I have mixed 7Star with every fruit flavor in my arsenal and have made them many times. French Pipe has a stronger pipe flavor but plays very well with fruits and the sweeter juices. I use to use a lot of Creme Brulee. Unfortunately, I feel that is contains the diacetyl even though I was told from someone at the company that it did not. (you just have to made your own informed decision on this one)

I have also found that even though they have a recommendation of 1%-3%. . . I will begin with .25%-.50% depending on the intensity of there aroma. I hope this is helpful and understand that it takes different flavors and percentages to make your taste buds dance. But oh what a wonderful feeling when you get that one recipe conquered. Have fun.

Thank you for all your replies and comments. I am gonna go with Nude for the Nic and pg/vg. BULL city for flavor I do like the fact that bull City lets you know what flavors have DA/AP in them. again THANK YOU AND VAPE ON!!!!

NudeNicotine flavors are incredible and you only need to use 2%-3% with their flavors in my opinion. Even less with their tobacco flavors (0.5% -1.5%). I don't think I'll buy my flavors from anyone else since I started mixing with theirs.

A little goes a long way so they're not that expensive. I use 0.5 ml insulin syringes to measure the flavors. I go with 3% flavor which is a bit on the high side but it's still only 0.3 ml in every 10ml total juice. I also add sweetner 'cause I prefer sweet flavors.

In a bigger picture perspective, the cost isn't a deciding factor anyway. The flavors are very good and very easy to use. If you're just getting started, it's a good way to go. Start with the recommended 2.5% and you will have something vapable without a lot of frustrating trial and error. You can adjust from there and blend flavors as you gain experience but for a simple, easy, first batch is actually pretty damn good type stuff, the VZ SC flavors do the trick.

Personally, I've become a big fan of Bull City. Their VapersTek nicotine and PG/VG is very clean, and I like that they carry different brands of quality flavorings (Inawera is starting to become my favorite brand, especially the Wera Garden line). You get free shipping if you spend $75, and while that may sound like a lot, it's not too bad if you just stock up on stuff once and a while. I was in contact with them recently, and they're going to start carrying larger sizes of their PG/VG very soon (gallon was mentioned).

To put it into perspective, I primarily use an RDA with a mechanical, and I don't have to change my wicks often at all (using Japanese organic cotton). Before I starting using their stuff, I was replacing wicks every couple of days. Now I find I'm able to go quite a while without the need to replace them. I've been on the same wicks for about a week and a half at this point, and the cotton is still white and there's no gunk on my coils yet. I usually vape between 8-12MG a day.

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Nude Nicotine, but haven't tried them yet since I really like what I have found at Bull City.

Good luck on finding you match!

USP Grade is Pharmaceutical grade. USP = United States Pharmacopeia

That stuff isn't USP Pharma Grade. It also SAYS "FOOD GRADE" right there on the label. It doesn't meet USP labelling standards. It's simply not USP Certified Pharmaceutical Grade. They're deceiving you (legally, I think), or perhaps you're just engaging in wishful thinking. You can buy genuine USP Pharmaceutical Grade stuff from your local pharmacy. The Glycerin will be available OTC, but you'll probably have to have them order the PG.
