Bits For Sale or Swap for Zero Nic Anything!

[jackop]

Hi All,

Not posted in a while but have been reading. Iv just been working my way downwards nic wise and iv finally made it to zero nic!!

Been on zero for about 4 days with no ill effects yet. The thing is, I still love vaping. I want to continue as its a great hobby and I love the community.

Over all my orders with various vendors (paradise vape bieng the most common) they have sent me little zero samplers to try, just wondering if anybody had any spare?

Obviously willing to pay and any bigger bottles would be appreciated too.

Any flavour menthol would be perfect, but not essential

Now onto my little list, not much but must go regardless.

30ml Lemon Menthol From Paradise Vape (10MG) - Full Bottle

10ml Apple Ice From Paradise Vape (10MG) - Full Bottle

10ml Vanilla Menthol From Paradise Vape (10MG) - Full Bottle
2ml Menthol From Paradise Vape (10MG)

4ml Caramel Cappucino From Paradise Vape (10MG)

5ml Grizwalds Arctic Lemon From Vape Escape (10MG)

10ml HS Menthol Sensation From Vape Escape (8mg)

9ml Original Tobacco From ROK (18mg)

Make me an offer or will swap for zero nic stuff

Cheers all

*EDIT* ALL GONE!

Hi Jack,

Well done, you I've been vaping zero nic mostly since end August & enjoying it too. Occasionally I fancy a lil throat hit so drip one of the nic juices I haven't used up. Can't say I notice much difference other than no throat hit & lack of tingling & chemical taste on the tip of my tongue.

[jackop]

Hi Clutter, thanks iv noticed a lack of throat hit too. Thats the only thing iv found difficult so far, the actual nicotine im not bothered!

Updated list also

[Chefs Flavours Lew]

juice came yesterday. thank you!

[giles]

Congrats on the zero nic.

You really should mix your own. Zero nic juices are heavily overpriced. Mixing is very easy if you don't have to worry about nic content.

[jackop]

Im glad lew, good news. Enjoy!

Giles is there a beginners guide you could point me towards? Cheers

[giles]

I don't know of one that's nearly simple enough even for ordinary mixers, let alone zero-nic. Grizwald (on the mixology sub-forum here) is great if you want to make your own recipes, but far too complicated if you just want to make your favourite juice.

I gotta go and shower. if nobody has linked a simple guide by the time I get back, I'll write you one.

[jackop]

Thanks very much, i only want to make one flavour to start. Strong Lemon Menthol, its my all day vape and I do go through a hell of a lot of it!

Ill have a quick google when I get home so dont put yourself out Giles

OK, so that was a rash promise.

BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO DIY MIXING ZERO NICOTINE E JUICE

Buy your stuff
A good purchasing policy is to go look at Liberty Flights, decide what you want, and then see if you can get it elsewhere cheaper.

Buy e.g. five 30ml bottles, a 10ml syringe, a 2ml syringe, and a couple of 14 gauge needles (with needles bigger number = smaller diameter needle ???) www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=26 or similar.

Buy some PG unless you prefer pure VG. Bigger bottles are cheaper, but it isn't too expensive anyway. www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=55 or www.cig-eliquid.co.uk/DIY_MIXING_250ml_PG_liquid_propylene_glycol/p649230_2911767.aspx

Buy some VG from the same place or from Tecos (Dr Oetker, about 65p for 38ml)

Buy your flavouring. May be start with www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=112 We're using lemon menthol as an example here, otherwise I'd say try www.cupcake-world.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=144&products_id=1480 at half the price, but cupcake world lime and orange have been known to damage clearos, so I wouldn't trust their lemon.

You could buy menthol flavour from the same place, but cheaper to make it:

DIY menthol e-liquid
Get menthol crystals from Boots (if you tell them what it is for they may refuse to sell it to you ). A small pot costs about £1.50.
Put a few (teaspoon-full or less) crystals in a bottle, add 5ml of PG, put in the microwave for maybe 6 seconds, shake.

If you are going for pure VG I'd use alcohol (a decent vodka is probably best, gin is said to work) instead of the PG, rather than using VG.


Make a lemon ejuice (no menthol yet)
Mix 10ml of your preferred PG/VG mix in a bottle. e.g. if you like (have previously bought and liked) 50/50, put 5ml of each. The 10ml syringe is good for this. Add 1ml of vodka per 5ml of VG. Add the lemon flavour – use the small syringe. I'd start with 10%. So for a 50/50 mix, you'll now have 5ml PG, 5ml VG, 1ml alcohol (total 11ml so far), and 1.1 ml flavouring, total 12.1ml. Which I know is neither exactly 50/50 or exactly 10%, but at this stage, who cares?

Leave it to steep for four days.

Vape it, preferably by dripping 2 drops on an atty. If it tastes weak you have a choice – you could steep it a bit longer, or you could add maybe 0.3 ml flavouring and then steep another couple of days.

Adding Menthol
If/when it tastes OK, put 3ml of it in another bottle. Add 1 drop (I kid you not) of menthol, shake, and vape that. If you need more menthol, add another drop and try again. The reason you separated out 3ml was in case you overdid it. Keep a record so you know how much to add to the rest of the bottle, and for next time.

That is it. Once you have something that you like you can start to vary the contents, try other sources of flavour and so on. If the throat hit is weak, replace some of the PG/VG with alcohol.

I brew up regularly, and for each flavour I usuually vape I have one bottle I'm using, one ready to be used, and one steeping. You'll also have a bottle of menthol. I wouldn't go much further ahead than that – your tastes may change.


Some variations:
I specify alcohol above: de-ionised water will also work, but give less throat hit.
You could get away with only one syringe and needle, but they are cheap and handy.
I said five 30ml bottles because it seems silly to say buy ten without saying what they are for, but I bet you'll want more before you are through, so maybe get five 10 ml as well now, save some postage.

As Giles,, perfect Go look on the Mixology thread it will really do you justice.
