It just blows my mind how a doctor can give you Sudefed and you can get it over the counter, but when it comes to quit smoking products I get a "no your insurance wont cover it" I know its not her fault, BUT at least refer me to a place that CAN help me.
I'm not thrilled, but I know its not unheard of.
I enjoy vaping but I can't afford to get the liquid with the stronger mg I need (16mg doesn't cut it for me) to cut the edge off. If I could I would of just done that.
If you're looking for stronger liquid, the solution is never to buy the solution but to make it. Juicemaking is simple and it can be very inexpensive.
One supplier, my freedom smokes (
Home | My Freedom Smokes) sells mixing liquids in high concentrations and small sizes ranging from 6ml of 24mg for 3.95, to 6ml of 100 mg for 10.95. He offers many sizes in each concentration and will put it in your custom proportion of PG/VG. He also sells propylene glycol and Vegetable Glycerol either pure or custom-mixed to your specified proportions for diluting your liquid and he does it at no extra charge.
Depending on your use, even small amounts of liquid can last you a good long time. I myself have a 60ml bottle of 60 mg liquid that I bought for $42.95 and I expect it to last me a month or more and I am one of those 'it-doesn't-leave-his-mouth' users.
In this arrangement, you can either use Loranne Candy Oils, available from various sources, or Cappella flavor concentrates for taste. A bottle of the Cappella will cost you six dollars and shipping and should last you a while.
If all you need is a general sweetness, ez-sweet (
EZ-Sweetz (2oz - Liquid Sweetener): Amazon.com: Grocery) offers you pure liquid sucralose in a form that survives atomizer temperatures. Three to four drops of it in a ten milliliter bottle will give you a candy-sweet mix that will give you all the nicotine you're looking for.
With all that in mind, here's a hypothetical cost breakdown:
1. 20ml 60mg liquid in 60/40, vg/pg=$17.95 + $5 shipping=$21.95
2. 125 ml 60/40 vg/pg diluting liquid=$9.95 (shipping costs covered by above)
3. EZ-Sweetz liquid sucralose (2oz)=12.99 +$5.00 shipping
Total cost: $50.89
If my math is right, this will let you cut your nicotine liquid 1-to-1 with mixing liquid which will give you four, ten-milliliter bottles of 30 mg-strength liquid. Even with *my* insane use, a 10ml bottle lasts me three days, which means a 12-day supply for me. You'll have virgin vg/pg mix left over for your next batch and the sucralose supply should last you until a few days after the Last Judgement making that second batch even cheaper.
Assuming you use as much as I do in the same strength, this would mean a third of one month's supply of sweetened stealth-liquid for about the cost of five packs of cigarettes bought in New York City.
I hope you find this information useful.
