youdipstick wrote: » Hiya Damon,welcome back... Here is a simple calculator which was in Grindles link...https://ecigvape.com/simple-e-liquid-calculator Just change the Base Nic to 72... Target ... 18mg is already selected by default... Amount to make...your shortfill is 50ml..............just change it to 10 for your 10ml bottles... Now hit Calculate....results are below.
damon5 wrote: » Just checked out that calculater and it says 12.5 of 72 nic with amount to make 50mls,wouldnt that make the final amount 62.5 mls.I was thinking along the lines that to have a finish of 50mls in total VG,PG,18ml nic and flavouring ( i wouldnt have a clue what amount i would need to add) that i would have to take out 12.5ml from the shortfall bottle and replace it with the 12.5 nic to end up with 50ml of product that includes 18ml nic ? On another note doing a bit of spring cleaning i came across an old shoebox and had to have a gander,inside was 10ml,20ml and 60ml bottles of juice that i bought from bargain vape and esmoke ireland in 2013.I wasnt vaping long and finding it hard to get juice that i liked untill i tried El Toro 24mg nic,sat down on the couch and was having some real deep drags and enjoying every minute untill all of a sudden i crashed.I started to sweat like mad and got as dizzy as hell with a pain in my chest and i thought that was it Anyway I cant see any expiry dates and some have been opened but theres a couple of 60mls that havent been,would you say that all of them or just the two unopened 60mls should be nicely mature by now and so will be a nice vape or liquid poison .
youdipstick wrote: » Those shortfills are a pain if you need 18mg,no probs with 6mg for DL vaping. If I need 18mg,I empty the shortfill into a beaker or mug & I use the whisker to mix that & Nic,better doing it this way,shaking a bottle is ok when it is already mixed,then just put 50ml back in the bottle & the rest into another small bottle. I've vaped juice 3 years after sell by date & it was good,the opened bottles you have,I would bin,the Nic strength would be diminished but the sealed bottles should still be ok,some may lose the flavour a little,all depends on the juice,give it a vape & see... You crashing like that,sounds like the Nic has improved:D:D:D I never liked el toro back then but I would blame the old tanks & coils for that,I'm sure I'd like it now with all the up to date tanks,somebody on another thread was looking for the el toro range,not sure if it's still available.

damon5 wrote: » Good idea using the beaker,mug and whisker for mixing instead of a shake in the 50ml bottle,how long would i need to steep that 50ml " Vape Wild on cloud custard " ? Will definitely dump out any opened bottles so,dont want to end up in the A&E :eek:

slick14 wrote: » Hi Looking for some newbie help. Vaping for a couple of months now to get of the cigs. I want to try making my own juice. But I can only find 10ml nicotine at 18mg/ml on Irish DIY websites. I want my juice to be about 14mg/ml so correct me if I'm wrong but I'd be using the whole bottle of nicotine at that rate?? May as well just vape the nicotine base I see on UK websites they sell the nicotine base at 72mg/ml is it legal for me to buy this and have it shipped to Ireland (shipping is more than the bottle of nic but it would still be worth it). Will it be stopped by customs? Is there anywhere it Ireland that sells the nic base at 72mg/ml? Apologies if this is a stupid question - take pity on the new vaper please. Any help on this would be really appreciated, Cheers, Slick.

slick14 wrote: » What about everythingliquid.co.uk. They seem to be the cheapest for 72 nic. (500ml) Do you know if there's a problem ordering from them? Is royal mail or a courier service better? Also for VG and PG should I order them from the UK as well seems much cheaper. thinking of ordering from darkstar for the PG/VG - very cheap. Is there any problem with ordering PG/VG from the UK? Lastly what's a good site for buying flavour concentrates from? I've bought a load of empty bottles of Fastrek and a scales as well so I'm making some headway. Just need to decided the best site to buy nic pg/vg and flavours from. Thanks again for all the great advice. Slick

slick14 wrote: » Cheers, So I'm thinking 500ml Nic. and 2.5L each of PG/VG - is this amount ridiculous or normal? Do you know what the shelf life is on them? What brand of concentrates do you get? Are the Dark-star own Brand any good? I was also looking at the Flavour Apprentice and Capella? Capella Silver-line are cheaper are they lets say not good? Could you recommend a couple of concentrates for my first bash at this? (I know it depends on taste but just single flavours that are not likely to go wrong and put me of). Also would it be wise for me to buy things like Sweetener and the Smooth flavour? Are there generally (or standard) flavours I should have that go into/with a lot of things like Bavarian Cream or Graham cracker V1 or V2 (whats the difference). Apologies probably stupid questions but I'd just like to get this as right as possible. Thanks for the help very much appreciated. Slick.
Dr Bill V1.5 wrote: » Just a suggestion but if I was you it might be a good idea to try some one shot mixes first, you'll get an idea then for mixing and the per centages to use. These have a very good selection, you just add your vg,pg and nic.https://www.chefsflavours.co.uk/174-one-shot-concentrates Use this calculator for your mixes as well.http://e-liquid-recipes.com/create
slick14 wrote: » I was thinking of just using other peoples recipes. Now I'm even more confused there's just so much choice of flavours. Whats the deal with the one shots? They are more expensive so I assume they are different flavours all ready mixed/paired for you? I just use 10% 15% etc of the one shot in the mix instead of a single flavour concentrates? thanks very much for your help really appreciated Slick
