Beginner's question: 0ml e-liquids

[medivape]

Hi!
I've been reading this forum for a while, and found really good advice that has helped me getting started. Thank you!

Now I have a couple of questions about 0ml e-liquid. I've found that some suppliers like Waves of vapour and Liberty Flights sell them at a lower price, I expect because nicotine is the most expensive ingredient in most e-liquids. Is there any other reputable supplier doing the same out there?

I'd also like to try mixing my own liquid. There is a lot of useful information on this forum, and some recipes I'd like to try, however I'd need to adapt them to make them nicotine free.
My plan is to start off by purchasing some ready mixed AVG and flavours from one of the suppliers you recommend, and mix them in a dropper bottle (experimenting with ratios), wait for as long as I can to let them steep (that's going to be the most difficult part....).  But.... is it that simple, or am I missing something?

Another question: does anyone know where I can purchase graduated bottles 10-30ml? (safety/childproof cap is not required). Something like ebay item number 120413037791, but from the UK.

Thank you all in advance for the help

Welcome ....!

the reason for the child safe top is to stop them getting hold of the nicotine without it you have vg/pg/ and food flavor so the only safety you need is the same as them.

Lt have a cheap mixing area

My guess is then the vendors price on the average 0mg-34mg all take the same mixing but I know what you are saying

Medivape!

Yes, mixing 0nic is really that simple. I'd recommend getting a bottle of VG from Boots (200ml for £1.29) and a bottle of de-ionised water (DIW - approx. £1 per litre) from somewhere like Wilkinsons - dilute VG with 10% DIW. It will probably work out cheaper in the long run and you'll be using a fair bit whilst you experiment! A good rule of thumb (that does not apply to every flavour, mind) is 20% flavouring to 80% everything else, diluted VG in your case. You can get the ejuicemeup calculator for quantities if you like, and then save all your recipes without having to write them down.

So yes, nicotine is definitely the most expensive part of juice Haven't seen any graduated bottles around, why do you want those in particular?

Hi!
I'd like to get the graduated bottles because I think it would be very easy to measure liquids, without having to use additional pipettes, syringes etc.
I want to keep it as simple as possible, just to find out if mixing is something I want to get into. That's why I'll start with a ready made AVG base and take things from there (also because I'd like to use a 'professionally made' base before starting using my own, just to have something to compare it with).

In that case, since I can't find any graduated bottles, I'd just invest in a couple of syringes - they're really not expensive or scary, just cover the marking with sellotape before use as they can rub off over time

Yes I could never understand why vendors did not have a lower price for zero nic.
Although having said that when I got there I didnt mind buying it.
I now mic my own zero nic and it is way way cheaper

Hi & welcome, Medivape.

I only mix zero nic, using needles & bottles & that's it, simplicity itself. That's why I can do it! You really can't go wrong, get your PG & VG, choose your recipe, that can be easily adapted to what you want percentage wise, then add your flavourings. If you find you need more flavour, you can add it, as there are no nic values to worry about. I've found the mixes don't need as much steeping & the colour doesn't actually change much, if at all. If you're making vanilla custard though, then that does get better with steeping.

Thank you.
You are all very friendly
I'll buy some syringes and start mixing soon. I think for me DIY is the way to go, much wider choice and fantastic savings :-)

[Jen]

DIY is great fun too

[medivape]

Yes, so it seems from all the lovely recipes on this forum.
