Nic base

[-V-]

Just seen this on Pink Mule, and was wondering about the quality as it' very cheap:
pink-mule.com/VPG-NIKOTINBASE-6MG

Anyone know or used it before?

[Roger]

It's not really a base, it's an unflavoured 6mg pre mix. Be OK if you wanted to make a 10% flavour at 5mg or 20% flavour at about 4mg.  Might also be handy for reducing a too high mg mix.

I don't understand the % part
So I couldn't use this to make DIY juice by adding flavouring to it?

You can but whatever you add to it will reduce the nicotine percentage per ml

You could, but it would be very weak, the liquid is only 6 mg to start with, adding flavourings diluted it further

That's what I said!!!!   If you added flavouring at 10% you would get a juice at about 5.4mg, if you added 20% flavouring you would get a juice about 4.8mg.

So usually what % of flavoring is added to say a 30 ml bottle of juice?

They also have stronger mg nic, so kind of back to the first question, is this any good quality wise do you think?

From what I gather that varies depending of the flavour and from where and what

How long is a piece of string?  Depends on the flavouring, the percentage is the same be it 10ml or 30ml.  Some tobaccos are as low as 3% flavouring, up to some of the recipes on here which end up at 25-30% flavouring.  If say you did a 20% flavour mix, you would use 2ml in a 10ml mix and 6ml in a 30ml mix.

They are a reputable vendor, there is no reason to think that it would be of poor quality, other than the low price, £3 for 100ml (£8.56 with postage).

Most people mixing buy higher Nic % base then dilute it down with flavourings &/or VG & PG because the Nic base costs more than non nic PG or VG that you will use to dilute it, simply it's the most economical way to do it. So for instance if you used the 100ml 52 mg base HERE you could make up to 300ml of mixed up juice at around 18mg.

If you used the 100ml of 32mg base you'd end up with about 180ml of mixed juice at 18mg.

The higher % the nic base is also means you take up less storage space for your end juice.

Its more economical to buy a stronger Nic base and then dilute it to your own nic level.
Here is 500ml of 72mg of juice for £38 delivered, enough for a 12mg vaper to make 3L or 3000ml of juice lol

So why does zero nic flavoured juice cost the same as 36 mg juice?

nic base

The OP probably knows that, but was asking what we thought of the quality of the linked pre mix.  It is not a nic base.
