Planning my first mixing supply purchase..does this look ok?

[boyofford]

Hi all,

Planning on doing some mixing, nothing too fancy going to start with couple of joosejuice concs, 

Have been looking at LTEcigs for kit as seems OK prices (please correct me if I'm wrong!).
In my basket I've got...
VG - 100ml - £2.40 
PG - 100ml  -£2.40
Diamond Crystal 54mg - 100ml mg54 £13.56 
& Mixing Set - £4.68

Mixing set includes..

Set contains:
1 ml syringe.
2 ml syringe
5 ml syringe.
10 ml syringe.
20 ml syringe.
18G sharp needle.
18G blunt needle.
16G needle.
14G Blunt needle
Mixing Needle.
25 ml meassuring cup.
10 ml Dropper bottle.
30 ml Dropper Bottle.
100 ml Bottle.
1 x pair of large nitrile gloves.

should I get more of anything in set? thought about getting few more 1ml/2ml/5ml syringes, should I get more needles too, if so which G?

Maybe I should get some more 10ml(£0.42) and 30ml(£0.54) bottles from here too, though I've been keeping 10ml bottles since started so have some.


Any thoughts?

Also seen 500ml of pg on ebay (via link on this site) for £5.98, is it ok to use this when supply runs out?
And similarly boots do vg cheap, but I'm sure I read somewhere this will need diluting?

WAIT!!!

You can get nic base cheaper here vapersemporium.co.uk/index.php?id_product=29&controller=product&id_lang=2

Use code santa25 for 25% off the price too. This is the best price on the net at the minute, so might be no harm to get yourself 500ml (or even more) as you're at it. You can only use the code once, so get everything you'd want from them in the one shopping trip. Will have a look at the rest in a minute, just didn't want you spending more than you should on the nic.

I don't ever use needles boyofford . . . easier to pour into a measuring cup and then draw up with your syringe. For me anyways.

Boots VG is cheaper, 200ml for £1.29, it isn't a great hardship to dilute it. If you use a PG base you probably won't need to.

I'd get a few more bottles . . . .

Looking to end up at PG:VG 60:40 which seems to suit me best.

How do you mean I won't need to dilute the VG if I use a PG base?
Do you mean at this ratio I wouldn't need to dilute with water first then?

[newdawn]

Just went through my receipts from doing the same as yourself a couple of weeks ago. I got the mixing set and spare syringes/needles from LT that you have listed above.

PG & VG were got here for £1.80 per bottle www.flavourart.co.uk/GLY-001.html They also do concentrates, but they don't have a discount code and you can get their concentrates cheaper at 28vapes below.

Flavour concentrates were mainly bought here www.28vapeslater.com/ use discount code AAEC10OFF for 10% off

And I got more concentrates here based on the recipes I was making www.cupcake-world.co.uk/

Don't forget to buy plastic bottles for your mixes if you need them.

PG is pretty runny, so you may get away with not diluting your VG . . . diluting makes it easier to handle as much as anything. It's easy enough to add a little Vodka if you do find the liquid too gloopy.

You don't have to get 500ml of nic if you don't want to. I only got 200 at first, but then decided at that price it was silly not to get more. A friend had to order the second lot because I'd already used the code myself, but got 500 in the second order.

Just worked out that
100ml of 54mg can make 450ml of juice at 12mg
100ml of 72mg can make 600ml of juice at 12mg

so 500ml of 72mg can make 3000ml of juice at 12mg!!! that would last lol.

I'm vaping I guess 2-3ml a day but hard to measure as keep swapping tanks and could be twice that.

Seriously though, you have really confused me now! not sure if should bulk buy as so cheap or buy less as will not need it all for long time.
I am planning on keeping nic base at work, and maybe mixing there too as don't want my kid getting near it, less is easier to conceal in locked money box in freezer.

Even if you're only buying the 100ml bottle(s) it works out cheaper at that link I posted. £11.50 before the 25% off discount.

From your opening post, if your nic is PG based you may need to buy more VG eventually, but just grabbing 100ml will be fine for a while.

You will probably find that initially, you make a few mistakes or the outcome doesn't quite work on your mixing experiments.

I started a couple of months ago and have mixed quite a bit and have only just finished off one 100ml bottle of 54mg nic and 150ml vg - hardly used any PG.  My  target nic is always 18mg

Most my mxes come out around 60-40 or 50-50

Now your signature worries me even more lol......You've spent more on vaping than you would of on smoking and you mix your own? shinyitus?

Thanks for info!

I was literally just purchasing some mixing top ups. I came on here to look for some where cheap to get some nicotine base so great timing!

I got my pg and vg from classikool. £5 for 500ml pg! Pretty much the same for vg. And only £1 postage! Bargain me thinks!

[newdawn]

Never heard of them before timbo but did a search. PG and VG bookmarked for future reference. Cheers!
