DIY LIQ Help

[Cope36]

Okay getting tired of trying to find concentrates for mixing. I like menthol but only 20 can’t get PGA or any for the fact. But was wandering if there are any ways of using other liquids with low mg and mixing it to a high base with more pg ect. If that even makes any sense. I guess an example would be(100mg base with a 6 mg liquid and make it a whatever % flavor b/c its already diluted and an outcome of 36 mg bad ... flavor.) If that is possible.

I am confused. You can buy 100mg per ml and 48mg per ml nicotine in (I think) PG or VG base at Gourmet Vapor. I think you can also get some here? One Stop DIY Shop

There is a DIY section on the forum here. When you have 5 posts and wait about an hour for your status to update then you'll be able to post there or anywhere on the forum.

if you are looking for a straight menthol, just get some high nic base juice from a reputable supplier, some VG (glycerine) from WalMart/CVS, and some menthol crystals from Ebay. Add the glycerine to the nic base to get the %nic you want then add a small amount of the menthol crystal until you get your desired flavor.

Watch the DIY video from this thread here you can use vg or pg to dilute stronger nicotine. I recommend you go to the diy forum and read up. You can buy already dissolved menthol that would be a lot easier to work with from the link that dormouse provided. Be careful with nicotine and menthol. Both are strong.

im kind of trying to use another liquid that dosnt have 36 mg and add a higher base to it. but i fig if you took 6 mg and sub it for your pg would that work or 0 mg. If so how to do that.

I don't really understand the question but maybe an e-juice calculator will help answer it for you...

eJuice Recipe Calculator

Be sure to read up on the DIY forum, I hear that 100mg nic juice is some dangerous stuff to be fooling with if you don't know what you are doing.

All new DIYers should start out w/50mg nicotine base as stated in the DIY subforum. I've been DIY'g for 7 months and am still using 50mg b/c that's what i prefer. But each to his own. Just be careful please -- you can't erase a mistake if you spill on yourself, a child or a pet. I'm sure you'll do fine. They have a great tutorial over in the DIY section, and there are some very knowledgable and helpful people there. Welcome to ECF.

So you have a 6 mg juice that you want to turn in to a 36 mg juice, and you have 100 mg juice also? How many mL do you have of each?

 

[WomanOfHeart]

If you have one juice that's 24mg and one that's 6mg you'll end up with a lower nicotine level, depending on how much of the lower level liquid you add.

As far as adding it to substitute for PG that would depend on whether that liquid is 100% PG or not. Once you get to 5 posts you'll be able to read the DIY sub-forums.

Lets see. I mix liquid use a 100 mg base and use pg. now the real prob is i like the flavors out there but there only in 26 mg and i use 36. wandering if there is a way or cal to use the other flavor thats 26 mg and add the 100 mg base and more pg to it to make it 36mg. or if anyone knows site where they sell diffrent types of menthol flavor concentrates that are really good.
More or less my girl friend likes other menthols rather then stright menthol but wants me to mix it. Kinda crazy i just deal with what i have and can buy.

I’m looking at what i wrote and it’s really confusing and i apologize. I thank anyone who posts for their time. And i will be careful lock myself in a room away from my dog. I just use 100 mg b/c i think it’s cheaper for the nic usage v.s. buying pg.
I was looking really into HALO menthols and wanted to try them but didnt want to waste the few extra bucks on lower MG for trying.
Wanted to know of a way of spicing it up somehow really.

You only have one post left to get to the five required to go to the DIY forum, and they have hundreds of posts over there. If I used menthol, I would love to help you out, Cope, but I don't. I do know that you can buy menthol crystals that you break up and only add a teeny amount, and the price of the crystals are quite low, and they last for ages. I wish you lots of luck, and I think you'll be fine mixing with the 100mg since you know to be careful. Once you start mixing, you'll love it, as the DIY juices are leaps and bounds above the the commercial juices. You'll never go back once you started. Have fun.

 

[TJVapes]

I think it would be fine adding pg/nic as long as you keep it under 1 mL, but I'm still confused about why you would have 100 mg/mL nic and nothing to dilute it with unless you strictly use it for adding to premixed flavors. There are vendors that sale or will mix up 36 mg liquids, FSUSA will.

Seabrook thank you for your help, confidence, and patience. I will have to try and look around or make a post on the Diy topics.
Thank You for your time
