Tried DIY..
Had some success with VG and Flavors..
but
Im actually afraid of adding nicotine to my home esauce...
I don't know how much to add and where to buy it
Thank you.
That summarizes it.
That's the WAY to regulate the ecig market.
Unfortunately, so far, the only interpretation so far of regulating ecigs is to ban or restrict.
I expect that just as the food industry regulations grew out of consumer groups themselves, it is really up to us the users to lobby for what regulations are actually required.
eg:
Shouldn't sealed eliquid bottles have an expiry date on the label?
This got me to thinking, i really need put in an order and drive the ~10 minutes out to Clark (Kent) and Nicoticket, not only to finally try the juice but to meet the maker face to face, who knows maybe he'd even give me a glimpse of the lab (obv not enter, and obv doubtful).
Would assume meeting the mixologist, seeing the lab, and taking the owners word on whats in the juice is about a much piece of mind as anyone could expect at this point(aside from DIY).
That's a terrible example of e-cigarette regulation. How long an e-liquid stays good depends on a bunch of factors outside the control of the manufacturer. The two most important are storage temperature and the flavoring used.
I have some e-liquids that are nearly three years old, and they're still just fine. They never get above about 65 degrees, and for most of the year, they're cooler than that. Light never touches the bottles.
On the other hand, last summer I left a half-used bottle of a non-favorite e-liquid where it got hit by sunlight for about an hour per day over the course of a few weeks. Sometimes, the temperature of the bottle exceeded 90 degrees. It went from pale orangey-yellow to a light van .... or seal brown (pretty dark), the cherry+lime flavor turned disgusting and the oxidized nicotine added an earthy, full ashtray-like overtone to everything. That stuff went down the drain.
A vastly more sensible regulation would be to require "born on" dates on labels.
Buy 100%PG with 24mg nicotine unflavored. And you can just use that as your source of nicotine and just add a small amount to your own liquid to test taste.
For making eliquid you need a Eliquid Calculator like "EJuiceMeUp". Play around with it until you're satisfied you know it. Some good vendors for buying Nicotine Base is RTSVapes, Wizard Labs and EcigExpress.
There we go. Require 'born on' date on label.
Actually I was thinking from what you were saying, liquids should require labelling concerning
- whether they need to be kept out of sunlight, and
- what storage temperature range they should be kept at.
I get made to order liquid in dark brown glass pharmacy type bottles from a guy who does DIY himself, but the sealed overthecounter factory stuff I get from pharmacies is in plastic clear bottles; which has me wondering what's in those plastic bottles; I feel pretty sure there's stuff in there other than pg and vg and nicotine and flavoring, but I don't know what it is and I ain't so sure I want to be vaping that stuff.
@Tangaroav - please sit down and read before you prefer more controll. The vaping community is regulating itself for years with great responsibility. Government control harms us all.
Again. Read. And build your own opinion.

I feel ya, I really do. Thanks for not taking my comment the wrong way. It really trips me out how so many threads like this one have been started lately. When I first joined the forum and seen talk about regulations, taxes, bans, and ANTZology I pretty much dismissed it as paranoia. But now that my own vaping knowledge base has increased I see now hat all of these are very legitimate concerns and threats to vapers. Hell, to our individual rights for that matter. And I was reared to believe that "if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, then it's a duck" So I agree If you talk like an ANTZ and you post like an ANTZ, well, you're an ANTZ.
I guess I will hold out hope that if you really are a newb to vaping and to this forum please refrain from ANTZ speak. Cause you'll get your ... nailed to a proverbial crucifix if you aint careful or if you are a true ANTZ.
Which is fine by me. I don't want them here any more than anyone else does.
GO AWAY YOU DAMN ANTZ!!! And ANTZ wanna be's
i'll take a few puffs of whatever you're smoking too
must be some heavy ....
Although I do live in Colorado I currently smoke nothing. However, I could tell you some crazy ... stories about goin down the rabbit hole and stepping through the looking glass. Timothy Leary aint got nothing on me.
Oh those were the daze

Chickens, ducks, and ANTZ. Like livin on the farm. jensy! you finally got an avatar woooohoooo yaaaaay for you. It's perty!
not to derail the thread but I have a question. Would I just then mix up a 100% vg juice to my liking then add half and half with the 24pg to give me a 50/50 mix at 12mg?

Thanks Fisheeboy, I am not a troll. Just a new vaper, and I love it. I raised the question of controls out of concerns and yes some newbie ignorance.
Thanks for all the answers, they really helped.

Try nicoticket.com .....toot on some of Clarks juices and all your worries will float away along with your vape.
