Hi ladies & gents once again, I hope that you're all having a nice weekend so far. I've been thinking about trying to make some niccy free e-liquid just incase I end up in a situation where I run out of my premade bought liquids & I'm eating a few days for Mr Postman to bring them to me. So if anyone can point me in the direction of how I can make some safe non toxic e liquid for emergencies & what flavourings i could possible use I would be very grateful. I've never attempted making liquid before as Chemistry was never my finest subject at High School so if you could describe it in laymans terms would be fantastic haha! All the best & enjoy your Vapes folks

Boots value health glycerin B.P. (found in cough medicine section) is 100% pure Vegetable Glycerin (would recommend diluting with 10% Vodka but distilled water is ok ) can be vaped as is,it has sweetish taste & tons of vapor food flavouring (but not oil based) Tesco Dr Oetker peppermint is one easy nicotine free juice

Hello Ben, Obtain some glycerin from boots, and some propylene glycol off eBay, a selection of flavours from one of the many vendors named in the mixing section, (you could get your glycerin and pg from them too to save the hassle) then in a 10ml bottle put 5ml pg, 3ml vg and 2ml flavour, shake, steep, vape. Ooooorrr, get a bottle of 54mg nic from one of said vendors at the same time as well, replace 3ml of the pg above with 3ml of nic, and bingo, you just made 16mg strength e-juice.
Adjust the amount of flavour to suit your taste but 20% or 2ml in 10ml of juice is pretty standard. Oh get a blunt tip 5ml syringe as well.

Hi Ben. E-liquid is basically Nicotine base, a ratio of PG and VG, and flavourings. Nic-free juice can easily be made from Pg, Vg and flavour. So, for example, let's say you wanted 10ml of a 70/30 (PG/VG) mix of blueberry juice at 20% flavour. You just mix 5ml of PG, 3ml of VG, and 2ml of flavour (flavours are PG based) Voila

basic its use a calc and have nic mg set to Zero,cheapest way would be to use use boots vg £1.34 200 ml [flavourings well take your pick from vendors list allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/1148?23191=undefined] if you want PG get that from ebay Then you will need a bit of distilled water morrisons battery top up 45p or 50p a litre or a small bottle of vodka[£2.20] if you wish This when you wish you kept all old bottles of juice so you can mix em in there lol heres one of the easiest for single flavours www.liberty-flights.co.uk/calculator.asp

It's very easy Ben, and you'll soon wonder what all the fuss was about. Mixing your own juice is very satisfying, you have complete control over the amount of nicotine and flavourings that are in them, and best of all it's much cheaper than buying ready-mixed. Best of luck, you have some excellent advice above, get yourself a glass of something cool and refreshing, put your feet up and have a good read.
