I stopped vaping and I have a lot of leftover DIY supplies and nicotine after stocking up for the mail ban. I'm not looking to break reddit policy by selling/mailing it to anyone on here, but has anyone had any luck on what to do with extra nic besides bringing it to my local hazardous waste disposal? Should I try fb groups? I don't have any friends looking to DIY.

I have a lot of flavored juice (2 liters?) and some 100mg nicotine liquid in the freezer. What is the easiest way to get a ratio of 18mg of nicotine in the juice? First time trying anything like this. I have syringes and bottles, I don't have a scale.

Use this calculator. Put the amount of juice you want to mix in “ S&V flavor concentrate” and the ratio (70/30 or whatever). Put 100 for “Nicotine strength NicShot“. Put 18 in “Target nicotine strength” and the ratio of your nic (100% PG or whatever). Look at the total at the bottom. If that’s not going to fit into the bottle you’re mixing in, adjust the “S&V flavor concentrate” up or down.

Are you trying to put nic in the whole batch?

100mg nic makes things easy. If you want 18mg for the finished product, then your nic solution needs to be 18% of the mixture.

If mixing 100ml, start with 18ml (18% * 100ml) of nic and then top off the remaining 82ml with your flavored mix. If mixing 50ml, you'd start with 9ml of nic.

If you're looking to add nic to the whole batch, you'd need to know the volume of your flavored juice, multiply by 18/82, and then add that much nic. I would certainly recommend mixing small batches, but that's how the math works out if you're going big.

Thanks. I figured it was something like that.

Hey guys, new to mixing my own ejuice. If I want to make 15-20mg nic salt recipes, do I need to up the flavour percentage? I've looked around and generally people suggest 22ish % flavour for use with nic salts, is that correct? How do the recipes from ATF and ELR translate to this? Thanks

Just bought some flavors - What is the best way to store them possibly for long term?

And about how long do they stay useable if kept in refrigerator or freezer?

- Do the flavors stay the same or change after long term {over two years} storage?

- Thanks

Hey all, so I’m about ready to jump into the DIY world, and have found this sub to be a great resource in seeing what I need. I just wanted to get some clarification that I’m heading in the right direction here. I intend to mix my own pod juice, aiming for around 20-35mg/mL using nic salt in around a 50/50 to 60Vg/40Pg blend. From what I’ve read based on other posts, my nic salt base should be 100mg/mL in a Vg (to get my desired blend, mixed with flavor, PG and VG), correct?

Hey guys, bot a new mixer but this seemed like the best place to ask. I am based in the US and need to order nicotine, I didnt have any money before the PACT bs. Am I too late?

I just ordered from perfectvape yesterday and the order went through, I'm in the US as well. Some 3mg base and flavors, hopefully it'll be here by Friday. The prices were also pretty good, I got 1000ml of base liquid and 5 30ml Flavors for just over $30.

I hate to be "that guy" but I've been searching all night and can't figure out. I see the PET, Chubby Gorrila, LTPE, etc bottlle. I vape nic salts and was lucky enough to get great deal on my favorite brand so I haven't had to mix anything up yet. They had to "liquidate" so I was able to order enough to last a few years and half it with pg/vg to make it last even longer. It was actually way cheaper to order my favorite premixed salts than buy salts and flavoring themselves. Eventually and I'll have to do it though. I know no sourcing is allowed here so I won't mention my PMs are always open to discuss the best ways of mixing them.

Now my friend wants me to mix her up some different ones and I can't figure out what bottles to order her. She's a sub ohm 3mg nicotine which is perfect because I have 5 gallons of 100mg pg/vg unmixed and I found her the perfect tobacco flavoring. But when I order sample bottles, they pour slow af. Is there any kind of empty bottle can I order her that won't do that? Before all the stupid tariff shit, I could or perfect bottles for dirt cheap. I don't care about waiting weeks to get them from another country or whatever, I just want normal bottles that pour at less than a trickle of less than an old man with an enlarged prostate. We can reuse her bottles while we wait. She's a more of a weekend vapor and only need like 30ml bottles which may be the issue.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but there's so many opinions I can't really figure out who has the right answer. And I want to buy in bulk so I can mix up some of the homies stuff as well and save them some cash.

Also, I'm not a conspiracy type guy, but I am the only one who thinks they cracked down on flavors because they know it keeps people addicted to cigarettes? When I started, I had to have the tobacco flavors. Then I ran out and all I had was some fruity ones my friend gave me to try. Now I can't stand stand the smell of cigarettes. I'd quit before I went back to that nasty ashtray tasting shit. I've just always thought it was a little sneaky by the tobacco companies to make look like they're trying help but really its the opposite. I've helped so my friends quit by getting them on the tobacco flavors, then getting them to switch over the other kinds and eventually they just stopped. I kinda think it was a trick to their brain associated with that taste. Just a thought.

A now they're on the BS trip about slowly combining vaping and cigarettes to make them the same thing when they're completely different. I used to get respiratory illness about 3 times a year. Switch to vaping and I have one like once every 2 years at the most. I got my teeth whitened with laser even and that shit is bomb. I recommend it to every ex smoker. Then when you look in the mirror, it's a nice reminder of why you quit. And right now is the best time to do it because dentist are desperate. No one is getting elective shit done. So just call and ask the price and them act all kinda down alike like "ohhh, ok" They're willing to haggle. My first call is was 400 bucks, so then I started calling on the "other" side of town and got it for 99 bucks. Same machine, some product (it was made by crest.) Instead of putting the peroxide on the outside of your gums every night, the laser explodes it on the inside your teeth. It made my mouth feel sore for day like those white strips did and then it was over. It's worth every cent. They're try to up sale you with x rays and cleaning and shit but I was like "nah, I just want to the whitening today. I'll call later and get some checkups scheduled."
