Reddit reviews Glycerin Vegetable - 1 Quart (43 oz.) - Non GMO - Sustainable Palm Based - USP - KOSHER - PURE - Pharmaceutical Grade - safety sealed HDPE container with resealable cap

I ordered This from Amazon but was shipped THIS

After looking at price difference I almost though about keeping it.

Here's the short and dirty list:

• Scale for mixing by weight It's recommended that you start mixing by weight. It makes your results more repeatable and cuts down on cleanup.
  
  
• Vegetable Glycerin
  
  
• Propylene Glycol
  
  
• Bottles to contain your juice(I prefer HDPE bottles over PET or glass) A great vendor on Amazon for bottles is 510 Central. Get a few different sizes: 10 ml for testing flavors and new mixes, 30-120 ml bottles for making larger batches of juice(I usually use 30 or 60 ml bottles)
  
  
• Labels for said bottles. You can go with printing your own on a printer, or you can slap a piece of masking tape on the bottle and write the juice name on that with a sharpie. Choice is yours, but use some sort of label so that you're not playing "guess the flavor" after a week's steeping.
  
  
• Nicotine, if you use juices that contain nic. If you're a no-nic vaper, skip it. If you want nicotine in your juice, don't go cheap. Two of the most suggested companies to source nicotine are Carolina Extracts and Nicotine River. Carolina is more expensive, but it's clean with ZERO flavor(That's a good thing) I just recently ordered some nicotine from Nic River, so I can't speak to quality, but it's what a good number of mixers use. I prefer to mix with 100 mg/ml nicotine in a 100% PG base. PG-based nicotine is less prone to "hot spots"-Areas of liquid in the container where the nicotine concentration is higher than specified on the label. Hot spots are more common with VG-based nicotine(So I've read). Regardless of whichever base you choose to go with, ALWAYS shake your nicotine before using it or pouring off into a smaller container! In fact, ALWAYS shake your ingredients! Nicotine and flavor concentrates should always be brought to room temperature and shaken before use to ensure that they haven't settled between mixing sessions.
  
  
• Flavors. Don't go willy-nilly buying flavors that sound good. Some work well with each other, and some get along about as well as Jack Daniels and pizza. Instead, find 2-3 recipes that sound good to you and buy the concentrates to make those juices.
  
  
• Head over to /r/DIY_eJuice and read the sidebar. Once you're done, read it again. I'm not trying to sound elitist. There's a shit-ton of great info in the sidebar and wiki. Use the knowledge that others have gathered together in one place to your advantage. There's even a "first flavors list" over there that if followed, a new mixer can make some very decent juices straight out of the gate.
  
  That's the quick run down. It's a blast to do, and a helluva lot cheaper than buying at your local B&M! The up-front cost is a little steep, but for about $100 you can get to making some great juice.

Here's a cleaning video to give you an idea of what you will need.

I recommend Randy's or Zen stiff bristle pipe cleaners because fluffy ones will leave little "fuzzies" in your Pax. You can pick these up at your local head shop.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do wonders for getting your oven looking new again. You cut a piece off of the magic eraser, stick a toothpick in it, and move it around inside the oven and it will remove a lot of stuck on residue.

When cleaning, DO NOT GET ANY ALCOHOL ON THE TEMP BUTTON! Your Pax will die because of it.

I don't think a finishing grinder is necessary. Especially for another 40 bucks. I use a 4 piece and that's fine.

Pick up some metal pipe screens. Stainless or brass work fine. You will use them as seen in this video. I highly recommend this guys method. I use 2 screens staggered on top of each other though, because one isn't quite wide enough to fit the width of the bowl oven. Loading a full bowl oven is completely too much bud. I'm a heavy user and loading it halfway is perfect for me. If you load it full, you'll burn the bottom half of the bowl oven and the top half will be left green. Then you'll have to stir it. Then you're left with green weed mixed with cooked weed and it diminishes the taste. I'd rather just cook a half bowl oven completely and then reload it. I much prefer a fresh bowl oven compared to a half cooked one. Plus, a whole bowl oven is a lot to finish in one session. I promise.

Only other thing I'd recommend is a portable container to go along with your Pax so you can load it on the go.

Edit: Oven, not bowl. I still think I'm smoking a bong.

Edit 2: You're also going to want something to pack your weed down with and stir with. When I'm on the go, I use my swiss army knife. When I'm at home I just use a pencil eraser. They say you can use the oven lid to pack it but I've heard of people melting their lid by doing it when the oven is hot. So I'd advise against it.

Edit 3: Your Pax should come with lubricant. If it doesn't, contact Ploom and have them send it to you. Though the packets are a bitch to deal with. You can buy the same stuff (propylene glycol) on Amazon and get a lot more of it (even though you won't need hardly any) while having it in a solid container, not a paper packet.

I'm telling you this because you will get your Pax. And you will use it for anywhere from 3-10 times. And then you will notice that your mouthpiece is sticking. And then you will notice that the light on the front doesn't turn purple (heating up) but rather goes straight to the color of the temp setting. You will then proceed to come ask /r/paxploom the same question that has been asked many of times already on here by a number of other Pax owners.

The light issue is due to residue buildup. The lubricant helps prevent buildup and helps keep your mouthpiece functioning smoothly. I just put a bit of lubricant on a toothpick and then proceed to put it on the mouthpiece. It doesn't take very much to go a long way.

Also, never lay your Pax sideways. Always sit it upright. Especially when it's hot or warm. Leaving it upright assures that no residue will run down to the mouthpiece and cause the sticking issue.

Edit 4: On the advice of others, don't use Propylene Glycol. It can void your warranty. Just to be safe, I'd use their "approved lubricant." The "don't use anything other than our approved lubricant" has been a response to people asking whether they can use, Astroglide, WD-40, and other substances. Which for one, isn't safe for your health, and two, will leave long lasting residue.

Of course!

I mix 1/4 food grade glycerin with 3/4 thayer's toner. I mix up the bottle, and mist it over my face after makeup is done. I use these bottles which have a pretty soft mist for the face, but since the sale happened I figured I would move the operation to a Fix + bottle once it's emptied :)

I get a quart (32 oz) from Amazon for about 12 bucks, 6 oz for 6 bucks isn't quite as attractive in that light.

I'm a vaper, (electronic cigarette user). The "e-juice", that is vaporized is typically made of glycerin, propylene glycol, (which is NOT the poisonous antifreeze one, that's ethylene glycol), flavoring, and nicotine.

I make my own juice, cuz it's about 10x cheaper. I'm also sensitive to glycol, so I just use glycerin, flavorings, and nicotine. I bought the glycerin on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/

USP grade glycerin i.e. VG from any pharmacy.

On that starter kit you mentioned... It's fine, but it isn't the best route if you think you might stick with this.

First up, read up on mixing by weight. /u/Botboy141 has a fantastic write up on it. It ends up being cheaper and faster long term versus mixing with syringes. Take into account that you should use different syringes for each flavor and you'll have to clean them after use... The cleaning murders the time mixing and that kit doesn't have many syringes, so you'll be cleaning a lot.

A break down for you on mixing by weight... It isn't 100% I'd bet, but it should be close enough.
Scale: 16.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0012TEQMG - this is the one I have, but the auto shut off is a friggin annoyance. Pick up the one Botboy141 recommends for the extra 14 or so dollars. So let's go with 30
Pipettes: 10.00 for 500 1ml. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005CD2I50
10 for 200 3ml (you can probably find a better price) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005IQTSE0
Dispensing bottles x2: 7.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B5139AG
Pg: 13.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005F5OJG6
Vg: 13.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C7MTLA
Nicotine: 100mg/120ml 19.00 http://www.nudenicotine.com/product/500ml-100mgml-100-pg-nicotine-base-for-mixing-only/ 50 30ml ldpe bottles: 11.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F098JJA

$113, call it 130 with some shipping here and there.

Now add flavors, assuming you get 50 bucks of 8ml vials from wizard labs and you're running closer to 200. This will get you a good bunch of juice and the next time around you'll probably get 4oz bottles of your favorite flavors and maybe some more pg vg nic and possibly pipettes. It's worth the money, but syringes will be cheaper up start costs. You'd probably save about 70 bucks to start, but it'll cost you in frustration and time, which isn't worth the pain from all I remember with them.
Edit: I say wizard only because of the sample size of the vials... You can use bull city, tfa and lorann direct for 4oz and up on a bunch, or any other vendor really. But 50 in wizard with shipping will probably get you 25 or 30 vials.

Syringes will take away the scale and dispensing bottles and pipettes, so 60 bucks actually, and you'll add about 30 back in a bunch of 1ml, a few 3 or 5 and a couple of 10 for pg/vg and14ga blunt needles.

Hopefully that helps a bit. I can reformat it later on the computer if need be.

Tips.

1. I don't recommend a kit, but that's just me.
   
2. Mix by weight. Buy this scale https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-Scales-LB-501-Digital/dp/B005UGBG20/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474497797&sr=8-3&keywords=Digital+scale&refinements=p_89%3ADigital+Scale%7CAmerican+Weigh+Scales. The 500g one, not the others. You want 0.01g precision.
   
3. Don't buy random flavors. Pick one or two juices over at http://e-liquid-recipes.com that sound good to you and have a good rating. Buy the flavors to make those.
   
4. Buy your VG and PG here. https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474497923&sr=8-2&keywords=vegetable+glycerine and https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Depot-Propylene-Glycol-Quart/dp/B005F5OJG6/ref=pd_sim_121_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D735R4MZTM0WJN6VZ840
   
5. Get some pipettes. Plastic Transfer Pipettes 1ml, Graduated, Pack of 500 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CD2I50/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_77W4xb3TT4MQX
   
6. Get good nicotine. I like Carolina Xtracts and Nude Nicotine
   
7. Read everthing here. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/wiki/diy_beginners_guide
   
8. Read the everything here. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/3lu9gx/nicotine_need_to_know_all_your_questions_answered/
   
9. Read eveything here. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/wiki/verified_vendors
   
10. Watch this. https://youtu.be/EMEY5L46b18
    
11. Wear protective gloves if you buy high percentage nicotine solution!
    
12. Enjoy your freedom. You're right, it is fun to do. And easy. My wife calls it vaking :)
    

Here you go

It's cheap, 0 nic, not premium, and high vg

Yep.

It's from Essential Depot. It's by far the best out of the three I have tried.

I get my PG from Tractor Supply and my nic typically comes from Wizard Labs (PG based!) or Nude Nicotine depending on shipping due to order bundling.

Your choice of CBD

Amazon has been where I have been getting my vg, almost done with my 7th liter. awesome quality and decent price. also the 2 free day shipping is awesome I have 2 gallons on the way and still ordered an extra liter off amazon the next day just in case i run out of vg today (amazon vg arriving today :D ) so i can fulfill all my weekend orders.

Candy cane is basically straight peppermint isn't it? found a candy cane flavor anyways haven't used it, but FW has some pretty decent flavors in their selection.

There are a few companies with straight pina colada flavoring, but out of them all, I have really started to love Inawera, as every single flavoring i have ordered of theirs has been top notch. Starting to become my new fav vendor, i just hate the bottles can be semi leaky (had them leak a slight bit once during shipping, was no problem, not much wasted, just got it all over my fingers). I still haven't had time to test out "peanuts" yet, but every other INW flavor i have is simply amazing and each one has made it into some very solid recipes of mine. Link to the INW pina colada watch out tho, as they have super concentrated flavorings and some only require less than 1% to hit where i think they taste great. over flavor and you will mute the flavor or create harshness. Try it at 0.5% and move up from there. My guess is for it as a single flavor, it might need to be bumped up to over 1%, but start out low first, then work your way up.

Flavor links are from BCV, which is an awesome company. RTS vapes is about a 10 min drive from me (can't go pick up tho, which sucks) and it only takes a day to ship to me, but sometimes they take a few days to process and also they don't have the nice selection of different vendors like bcv does.

Just realized the candy cane is outta stock at bcv, my bad, but they re stock flavors pretty quick. maybe check out here also since they have candy cane in stock. they also carry most other brands, so a pina colada flavor should be no problem, once again i would reccomend INW even tho ive never tried their pina colada. just some top notch shit they have. Be warnerned tho, it was my first time ordering from them this past weekend, so i dont know how fast they ship or anything. Also, they had a pretty massive sale (40% off) this weekend so that might make processing happen a lil slower than normal. link to inw pina colada on ecigexpress

just don't load up on tons of flavors without meeting the minimum requirement for free shipping. the more stuff ya get, generally the more shipping will be if you dont qualify for free shipping. i hope this helped, happy mixing!

Super simple, although you do need an ice cream maker.

DO NOT OVERBLEND THIS OR IT WILL SEPARATE INTO BUTTER!! Blend it on the lowest setting your blender has.

Into a blender put the following:

3 scoops of zero carb isopure (this is where much of your flavor and nutrition come from, any flavor works)

2 pints of heavy cream

1 pint of Kalifa Farms 0 Carb unsweetened almond milk

2 teaspoons of Liquid Splenda You can also use liquid stevia or another liquid 0 carb sweetener.

2 TBSP Food Grade Glycerine

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you are using vanilla, chocolate, cookies and cream, toasted coconut, or any of other cream flavors. For fruit flavors like Alpine Punch exclude this.


Run this all through your ice cream maker, put it into the freezer overnight, and you're good to go.

It might be safe, but it might not be. That's why we buy USP grade. You know what you're getting.

Buy this

Short answer if you just freeze yeast the freezing water solidifies and punctures cell wells, killing most of the yeast.

Long answer if you add a 50/50 solution of (water or beer) with food grade glycerin the water will get cold but never freeze.

My process:

Harvest yeast- overbuilding a starter is the easiest way or you could harvest and wash your yeast.

Decant Beer from your starter or use water and half fill a 1 pt mason jar and top off the rest with food grade glycerin. Boiling at this point is probably unnecessary but I do it anyway just to make sure no bugs get transferred in. Cool.

I then spray everything I use with Starsan and then dip everything I’m using in to the boiling water.

I use Soda Preforms but will switch to 1.5 ounce glasses once I burn through my preforms because I can boil them killing anything and not have to worry about melting plastic plus they’re cheaper.

I fill them halfway with my Decanted Yeast Slurry and let it settle. You want the settled yeast to be about half of the Preform which is approximately 100 billion cells. I then Decant excess liquid off and top off with your 50/50 (Water or starter beer) and glycerin.

Cap/Label place in an insulated bag with an ice pack to protect from freezing/thaw cycles and place in the freezer.

I buy all my VG and PG from Essential Depot on on Amazon, cheap with Amazon Prime and tastes just fine, its just as good as when I have bought from anywhere else.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C7MTLA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Scale 30

PG 13

VG 13+7Sh (Price is different from when I bought it, recommend difference source)

100 Pipettes 5

Lorann Sampler 15

Various bottle options, take your pick.

Keep the amount of sweetener low or zero and it will have the biggest impact on coil life. Low flavor will help in general, but some flavors hardly contribute to coil gunk at all, so it depends on which flavors you use. I haven't noticed any difference in the rate I change coils using 50/50 and 70/30, and I use both regularly in different setups.

BTW, it sounds like you are trying to decide between a finished nicotine base, 50/50 or 70/30 with maybe 6mg/ml nic added already, for example... Sorry if I misunderstand. That way does work but I do it the other way around, and mix my flavor base, then add nicotine to suit the order. If you buy VG, PG, and 100mg/ml nic each in its own bottle, you will have infinite flexibility with every bottle you make.


It's cheap too:

https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506167220&sr=8-4&keywords=vegetable+glycerine

https://www.amazon.com/Propylene-Glycol-Quart-KOSHER-PURE/dp/B005F5OJG6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1506167242&sr=8-4&keywords=propylene+glycol

/r/diy_ejuice - for around $30 or so you can vape unflavored + nic for a month or more if you need a cheap way to wean yourself off nicotine.

edit:

120ml 100mg/ml nicotine in PG: http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route=product/product&path=83_60_65&product_id=77

1 liter of VG: http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449683012&sr=8-3&keywords=vegetable+glycerine

With that 120ml of nicotine, you can make 2L of 6mg juice. So for 50 bucks, you can make quite a bit of liquid.

First, watch this, then come back: How to make your own E-Liquid : Mixing by Weight - DIY Tutorial I hate youtube tutorials, and I still recommend this, so seriously, watch it.

Now, a warning. You can spend a tiny amount to start DIY, or you can just take the plunge and spend a good chunk, but be set for a while and the cost per ml drops even more.

So you'll need supplies. Other than nicotine and flavorings, Amazon works pretty well.

• Pipettes For adding nicotine, everything else we'll put in squeeze bottles.
  
• Scale
  
• VG
  
• PG
  
  I put my PG and VG into some squeeze bottles I found at wal-mart for $0.97. Makes dispensing them super easy (just like in the video). You can also find them on Amazon for slightly more, but Walmart is on the way to work, so I just stopped there.
  
  I put my flavors into dripper bottles, which I got from Heartland Vapes, but that only works if you want 100+. Free shipping is at $75, so I also threw flavors into my orders, since I'd need them anyway. Personally, I started with single flavor juices that I knew I'd like. I ordered a lot from MtBakerVapor, and most of their flavors are just single flavor FlavorWest (FW) stuff, so I grabbed them. I made those for a month, then I started buying more flavors (like my favorite, TFA Chai). Now I'm adding more flavors into my juices, judging on what I think would work well (it doesn't always). Start simple, then build on what you learn.
  
  Buy some nicotine from your preferred vendor, if you want nicotine in your juice.
  
  Then wait impatiently while USPS loses your package in San Diego, CA, during which you can download the calculator and experiment with it. The bottom calculator on the side bar is amazing. Now you're going, "Crap, I gotta weigh my liquids!". Well, not really. You can take the specific gravities off the manufacturer data sheets (sometimes there, sometimes right, don't trust the ones from FW), google them, or ask here and someone probably has them. Or, you can use the built-in weights for PG and VG, and then set your flavors to 1ml = 1g. It's close enough.
  
  Most of all, remember to have fun.
  
  Quick tip: Better not enough flavor than too much. Too much flavoring mutes the flavor, not enhances, and spearmint burns your lips when you add too much. You can always add more, you can't take away.
  

Im a huge fan of nude nic. I will always and forever buy my nic there. Cg ms verified, the owner posts great, in deth scientific info here etc... However, their shipping ends up killig it for me. Same with wizard labs. Once you order like more than a quart of anything the shipping goes to like 15 bucks. At wizard labs he shipping was more than the VG I wanted iirc.

Essential depot on amazon.

1,271.661 ml (43oz) of VG

http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-43/dp/B004C7MTLA

12.95 free shipping.

Yeah, vape it. I vape CVS VG whenever I have no flavorings. Slightly sweet, that's about it. For the price you may as well order some Essential Depot VG which is like $13 for 1280ml.

For that $60 you're getting 120 ml you could get started.

$13 for VG

$11 for PG which is optional

Flavors here. Probably end up spending $15-$20. Less if you find a good recipe with a couple flavors

$18 for the higher end nic

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long carbon chains.

Examples are lauric acid, stearic acid, capyrlic acid, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

Free means that they are not attached to anything. So in triglycerides (fats), the fatty acids are not free but exist as esters with glycerol.

Glycerol itself is stable. You can buy it pharmacy or grocery store, under the common name glycerin.

But fatty acids, mainly unsaturated ones, can undergo further chemical reactions.

Yeah that's not too bad. Of course you can get 1000ml of concentrate for $45! We bought 120ml of concentrate from three sources (1, 2, 3) to compare and she didn't notice a big difference between them. They've all been in the freezer since and still taste fine 3 years later (actually one of them is completely gone and the other 2 are getting pretty low).

I just started with an online calculator and went from there; it's easy to get to whatever % you normally vape at.

I found out quickly that plastic syringes suck - they wear out and the eliquid melts the markings off. So I got a few glass syringes off of ebay (though really I've only ever needed one).

Initially I was super-careful with the nicotine concentrate as it can be fatal in really small doses, but after handling it a bit I realized it's actually very safe and easy to handle. Unless you squirt it in your eye or mouth you aren't going to have a problem - but you definitely need to keep it away from children and pets.

Then a few glass dropper bottles, PG and VG.

Whenever she's getting low she'll order a few different flavorants (usually from here) in 10ml bottles. I rarely mix flavors as it's simpler not to - just dump a full 10ml bottle into a dropper bottle, add 4-6ml of nicotine concentrate, then around 20ml each of PG/VG. Let it sit a week and it's ready to use.

Are you looking for unflavored nic juice or just straight VG or PG?

For unflavored nic juice, Wizard Labs has some pretty good pricing when they actually have it in stock (they also carry literally tons of flavors).

As for straight VG or PG (for DIY flavor mixing) Essential Depot on Amazon has Kosher grade VG and PG.

Have you ever had any issues with their VG? I know 2 different people who have (one who got a bad cough from it, and another person who received a bottle that wasn't sealed well at all and appeared old).

While Amazon reviews of their VG are generally 5-star, there's are a couple of 1-2 star reviews on there speaking of the harshness and the possibility of old stock.

I've never tried it myself so I can't vouch either way.

I haven't been mixing that long and I'm not really happy with anything I make. I am wondering now if its the VG I got, it has a distinct rubber after taste to me. I got it off amazon here : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C7MTLA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you think its the VG or am I just doing it wrong? Note : I usually mix at high vg, normally 80/20 VG/PG.

Edit : My PG came from amazon as well but I tried vaping 100% VG and its definitely a taste in the VG

Are you wanting a tank with coil heads or build them yourself?

As far as VG, check out Amazon. This is a good deal http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C7MTLA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418647359&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

pure vg on Amazon

I bought this

Couldn't be happier, even arrived next day through prime shipping.

Edit: not prime, still next day though.

Does anyone know where I can get a dripping top cap that I can attach to this VG bottle? Its such a pain to get VG out precisely without it

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C7MTLA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When mixing everything together. What do you all do to pour and measure the vegetable glycerin? I bought this from Amazon and it's thick. Should I keep it at room temperature? Should I heat it a tad to decrease the viscosity? I couldn't use a syringe on it nor could I use a funnel to pour it into my flask.

Here is PG and VG, but I'm not sure how to check shipping rates to you.

You could also try using /r/juiceswap if you need someone to re-ship it to save on costs.

Hey dude! I purchased a starter kit when I started making E-juice, and while it was helpful I quickly realized that I could of gotten more for less had I known what I needed. It is a lot cheaper to just buy the products individually since you will also be getting a larger amount too. Here are some links and in my opinion this is the cheapest way for someone to start DIY:


VG- https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1480546689&sr=8-2&keywords=vegetable+glycerine


PG- https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Depot-Propylene-Glycol-Quart/dp/B005F5OJG6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480546865&sr=8-3&keywords=propylene+glycol


Gloves- https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Glove-Industrial-Disposable-Thickness/dp/B01MZZ0FHO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480546913&sr=8-2&keywords=nitrile+gloves


Syringes- https://www.amazon.com/10-Pack-Refilling-E-Liquids-Applicator/dp/B01HFTYINS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1480546884&sr=8-6&keywords=blunt+tip+syringe


Nicotine- https://www.nudenicotine.com/products-page/unflavored-nicotine-base/

And as for bottles it is all up to you I personally buy mine from http://wholesale.heartlandvapes.com/eliquid-bottles/plastic-eliquid-bottles.html

*Lastly all you need is flavorings, I think it would be best for you to search around and find what you like, I personally prefer http://gremlindiy.com/ and http://www.bullcityflavors.com/ . Hope this helped!

If you have Amazon Prime free shipping, and maybe even if you don't, Essential Depot is a great source of PG and VG.

As /u/EdibleMalfuntion already pointed out, Carolina Xtracts is the place for top-quality nicotine base with no worries about peppery taste or anything like that, but if it is too pricey for you, look at other sources. VapersTek is one that comes to mind as being highly recommended. Nude Nicotine used to be, and still is by some, but they have had some pretty serious customer service and quality control issues lately.

Buy USP grade. That's 99.7% purity and is about the best you can get, even ACS (american chemical society) grade, which is the highest possible purity grade for reagents, only asks for 99.7% or higher purity so you don't have to buy this:
http://www.fishersci.com/ecomm/servlet/fsproductdetail_10652_627381__-1_0

you can just buy this instead:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C7MTLA/

Same for PG, use USP, not food grade. Food grade is just whatever passes the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) for oral consumption grade, which doesn't put a bar on the purity, really.

It's literally just a bottle of VG I got from Amazon.

Specifically this.

Yes, but I would also recommend Essential Depot, http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA

Nicotine quality varies so sick with a reputable source like nude nicotine. Pg and vg are about the same but I'd still get it from a reputable source. This seems to be the cheapest and is good quality.

What nicotine concentration are you looking to buy?

If you want to make a 3mg/ml juice, at 75/25 ratio, you could buy

• this bottle of nicotine ($16 shipped)
  
• and this jug of VG ($13),
  
  Find a clean 1L container, pour the entire contents of the first bottle in, then top off with the VG. Boom. 1 liter of 3mg unflavored juice, at 75/25. Minimal measuring or screwing around needed. You do need to shake it very very well though.
  
  1 L of juice for $30. That’s $3 per 100ml and is actually still kinda expensive.

Just snag yourself anything that is USP grade such as https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1497008120&sr=8-1&keywords=usp+vg

I have been getting my PG and VG from Amazon. Its cheap and if you have prime it gets there super fast.

I use the essential depot VG, and PG. I get them quarts at a time for like 11-13 bucks apiece and that shit lasts a long time. You will go through more VG than PG usually.

I used to get my nicotine from wizard labs but I recently started using nude nicotine, I recommend it. In the DIY sub youll see a shit ton of vendors and a bunch of brands people swear by. Thats the part that can be overwhelming.

you can get bottles so many fucking places, if you just want a few amazon will do you right, wizard labs has em. Lately I have been just getting them from fasttech cause they are decent bottles (plastic) and they are cheap as fuck. when searching for bottles a good tip to have is 1/2oz bottles are 15mls and 1oz bottles are 30mls,

https://www.onestopdiyshop.com/ is a pretty awesome place.
http://wholesale.heartlandvapes.com/ is nice too.

For just starting you dont need much, PG, VG, NIc, Bottles, Flavors, Get a couple of 1ml and 3ml Syringes, and some 14g needle tips for VG based shit, and 18G tips for PG based shit.

My mixes are mostly VG, so I get my nicotine in VG Carrier base. I think I have pretty much covered most beginner info. I hope you decide to check it out its pretty rewarding and fucking fun.

Come hang out, Lurk about or whatever


I forgot you will also want to use a ejuice calculator, I use the POTV ejuice calculator on my phone it works well and its free. Its in the Android and iOs store. Peace!

I only use Essential Depot, once you find the right recipe you should change nothing and i know ES will be around when i need them.

I’ve been freezing yeast for a couple years. The process in that link is a lot more complicated then it needs to be.

I use a variation of this process.

1. Build a 2L starter like normal.
   
2. Once Fermentation is complete cold crash and decant.
   
3. Fill 3/4 of a preform, lightly screw on the cap and place in the fridge.
   
4. Revisit the next day and decant till you have 1/2 filled with compacted yeast.
   
5. Top off with 1/2 Beer, 1/2 food grade glycerin.
   
6. Screw on lid, label, shake and place in freezer.
   
   Tips
   You’ll want to be as sanitary as possible.
   I can reliably fill 4 soda preforms.
   I’d recommend one have a different color cap to let you know you’re almost out of that particular yeast strain.
   I keep the beer/glycerin mixture in a mason jar and bring it to a boil from time to time since you won’t use as much of it as you’d expect.
   Save used preforms to re-use.
   Only do this for yeast you’ll use or have a hard time getting ahold of. You’re not saving money by saving yeast you’ll never use.
   If I plan on reusing yeast within 6 months I’ll wash the yeast and place in a mason jar.
   In my experience it takes the yeast a day or two longer to wake up once pitched into a starter. Make sure you build that time into your brew schedule.

Wherever you go you should be looking for USP Food Grade VG (which also might be labeled as Kosher), conveniently sold by Amazon if you don't like leaving the house and/or wandering aisles.

you should be good. the vg you use is usp grade which is the same that eliquid manufacturers use. if you want to use different vg i highly recommend essential depot vg. I use it for my diy eliquid & it is great

Everyone who vapes should have on hand vg
and if not a zero nic user nocotine
edit: posted this twice and then deleted one. Notta Reddit pro.

Essential Depot PG

Essential Deport VG

My experience is limited but if you want to be supplied for 2-3 years and only have $150 to spend I'd buy a liter of 100mg/ml nicotine (the key ingredient after all, ~$90), a quart each of PG & VG (~$25 combined total), some 3ml & 10ml syringes, and a few basic flavors you like. And of course some bottles.

Having bought both amber and blue glass bottles, I'll be going with clear in the future. The colors help block light, but you're much better off just keeping your mixes in a dark area (like a cabinet or freezer), at which point the color of the glass is entirely moot. Clear glass lets you see the level and color a lot better. You can get glass bottles with droppers (~$30 for 24) really cheaply if you buy in bulk.

just saying http://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice doesn't help that much but yes read most of their posts, the best help and advice is to get

http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396993596&sr=8-2&keywords=vegetable+glycerine

^^ VG

and pick some flavors from TFA http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route=product/category&path=79_85

also grab a 1ML syringe and a 10+ one for the VG

also look up flavors at

http://wizardlabs.us/index.php?route=product/category&path=79_85

hope it was some help to ya

i just got this http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Oils from:

https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super-strength-flavors.aspx

and glycerin from: http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/product-reviews/B004C7MTLA/ref=dp_db_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

With the glycerin make sure it says USP or Food grade, and it should be vegetable glycerin. This is what I've been using and it seems safe.

The shipping on that will cost almost as much as the pg. You really should mix it with vg,, so I suggest these two.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005PZBRUC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1373432354&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX112_SY192

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004C7MTLA/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1373432594&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX112_SY192

For $28.92 you get half a gallon of unflavored juice. That's 1856 ml. At 5 ml/day that would last 371 days.

It's not USP. I wouldn't vape it. You can get a 43oz bottle of USP VG for $12.97 from Amazon.

Did I buy the wrong VG/PG? My ejuice smells and tastes like plastic, vapes OK just tastes off. Like a plastic or chemical, kinda hard to say exactly how it tastes.

I just copied a recommended dessert flavor recipe to the t and steeped it for 5 days (no light, shook vigorously twice daily).

I bought:

• PG
  
• VG
  
• Various Flavor Art flavors.
  
  I smelled the VG and PG in the bottles they came in and didn't notice any smell at all. All the flavors smell like I'd expect them to.
  
  I'd assume it's just the bottle I mixed it in, but I put some juice I bought in an identical bottle and it tastes/smells fine.
  

Hey, I just bought 2 of these VG and it is perfect, you get a lot for your money. As you said $4 for 6oz this is worth it!

/r/DIY_eJuice likes Amazon

I get my vg at amazon.

That VG might be OK but many people recommend http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C7MTLA and it's what I'm using. Until recently (9/18) it was $2 cheaper. :(

I bought this. I also have another spray that I made with more glycerin (half glycerin half toner) and I use that as a sticky base for my makeup. Prevents cakiness too!

Here is what I get.

Here is the PG

I get my flavours from wizardlabs

If you prefer a 50/50 blend, you could do that too. I bought a quart of VG on amazon for ~$12.

VG on Amazon / PG on Amazon

Or order from a place like Nude Nicotine, pre-mixed (1L of 50/50 is $14)

Look on Amazon.
Less than $12 for 1 Quart of VG, free 2 day shipping if you have amazon prime

Nobody that mixes regrets buying the scales. American Weigh Scales LB-501 and Here's a quart of vg for $13. Get your pg there, too. Here is What you need to know about nicotine. Don't want to research recipes? Gremlin has ready to mix. A calculator. And get lots of bottles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D1GV8LU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you're going to vape like he suggested here's what to get.

For VG/PG this is food grade and what everybody uses: https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/

Here's the scale everybody uses which goes down to .01 grams and is flawless: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005UGBG20

Sign up for http://e-liquid-recipes.com/ and then you can use the calculator to measure with grams and break down the pg/vg nic and flavors which is the tool all DIY e-juice use. Back in the day we did it by volume which was a pain in the ass and doing it by grams is a game changer.

I wouldn't bother with nic but if you do choose so nudenicotine.com offer a free sample ($3 shipping) get the 100mg pg version. If you do go into ecigs DIY section for safety. Although if you have common sense it's actually very easy and safe but go to the right section in DIY.

Get pippets: https://www.amazon.com/Teenitor-Plastic-Transfer-Pipettes-Dropper/dp/B01G82SJRY/

Get some latex gloves or something.

If you're going to add flavoring this is my favorite: http://www.bullcityflavors.com/natural-mint-wg-inw/ - or their mixed mint which is the same but menthol - Eucalyptus will clear your sinus for a year.

INW is a premium flavoring company because $2-3 dollars for flavoring is expenisve in the juice world, that's why every vapor should DIY but they get overwhelmed with all the info, but it's easy as hell. The 10ml (don't bet the 30) will last you probably your whole life. I would go either 1% or 2% using the calulator, I couldn't imagine using anything above 3% because it's so crazy concontrated.

I've done it and had good results. It seems to work really well for the old stiff leather you get with thrift shoes. I've used it to bring that stuff back, then used lexol or saphir for further conditioning.

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_ejvnTKDEfxf9A

https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA

Is there something special about this Vegetable Glycerin?

You can get similar quantities at much better prices on Amazon, and they're USP grade as well.

Glycerin Vegetable Kosher USP 43 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_jcsIub12Z3W6Q
I bought this a long time ago. You can use vegetable glycerin for a lot of things.

I've had good luck with this:
http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-43/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_2

I've used it as sweeter in tea and vaped it in an ecig.

This is what I use.

I'm guessing you are trying to diy juice? If so the VG I buy which works as good as the other brands I've bought and lots of others use from Amazon is palm derived.. Now idk about flavorings but this is maybe a step in the right direction for what you are looking for? Gold luck don't let the Reddit trolls get ya down 😂


Glycerin Vegetable - 1 Quart (43 oz.) - Non GMO - Sustainable Palm Based - USP - KOSHER - PURE - Pharmaceutical Grade https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_K376BbGKJ50H2

I'll try DIY. Any suggestions on where to buy the materials? I checked in Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487710512&sr=8-3&keywords=vegetable+glycerine

About 11 bucks for a quart of VG. IS that a good deal? What about the "palm derived" tag, does that affect vaping?

But, it's honestly super easy. This is all you really need.

Yes its usable but it's expensive. This is a lifetime supply for 12 bucks.

I would get VG and PG from Amazon. It's cheap as dirt and it comes with free shipping with Amazon Prime.

Some comments:

2 You are looking for an Ego Threaded Beauty Ring.

3 You can also buy MUCH better tanks like an Evod for cheap and they have replaceable coils so they are worth the investment. I personally have had better luck with something like a protank or BDC, but anything with replaceable coils will be a big step forward. Also the better build construction means less leaking.

4 PEG-400 is not really an ideal base for any ejuice. It has a bad taste and does not carry flavors very well. You would have much better luck using Vegetable Glycerin or Propylene Glycol.

http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/

I know walmart usually carry VG and PG for other reasons. You can get a quart of VG of Amazon for $11.

add some VG (vegetable glycerine) if you like a less harsh vape, or PG (propylene glycol) if you like a more harsh vape. VG is usually a better bet though. you can get some VG HERE

I bought some of this at Walmart once, but it tasted a little funny to me, almost perfumey. I get the quart bottles from Amazon and they have a very faint sweet taste, but otherwise taste very clean.

Amazon Prime: Essential Depot VG, 1 quart, $12.97

Amazon Prime: Essential Depot VG, 1 gallon, $23.47

Not sure what link you're wanting, so I'll post a few - better to have too much info than not enough!

This is the VG that I buy on Amazon. I use this for my sugar scrubs as well!

This is the Halo Shamrock e-juice (Belgian Cocoa & Malibu are nice, too). I get a lot of other e-juices from a local vape shop that has a tasting bar. The shop I frequent has their own house blend that tastes exactly like a Hi-C Ecto Cooler!

This is the kit I use - it's an iTaste with variable voltage and variable wattage.

Yes. I used this: https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466320344&sr=8-1&keywords=vg

Little more expensive than what you picked out but it shouldnt be too different

You may need to add a little pg or distilled water to thin the vg. Pure vg can have trouble wicking because its abit thicker than juice

much cheaper here though http://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Quart/dp/B004C7MTLA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1407916720&sr=8-3&keywords=humco+glycerin

> VG was virtually impossible to find. Sounds like the availability of it is still likely to be an issue.

Big ol' jug of VG

So just some of this, and then I add my own water, or do they make it with water?

Add some Palm glycerin to it until you get the mixture that works for you. I just vape 99% glycerin

This is what I use.

It seems that the mixture you are using is irritating your throat. I don't know about it causing the acid reflux, but irritation can feel similar.
