If you don't make your own juice, consider it. Way cheaper ( The last time I checked I saved thousands versus what the local price for juice is for the same mount I make in my batch). I've seen 30ml cost from 10-30$. I usually buy a gallon of vegetable glycerine (VG), and once I add the tiny amount of nicotine and the flavoring I get about 1.5 US Gallons of vape juice that lasts me more than a year. I last bought my mixers in Jan 2024, and have my new stuff coming today - 1.5 years later. That makes 5678ml of juice - or 189 30ml bottles. Even at $10 a bottle that would be $1890 (plus tax) - so $2k ish. Depending on price fluctuation my mix ends up being about $150 to $175 - under 10% - and I didn't buy it from China.
I get mine as concentrated flavors from https://thevapemall.com . They regularly do 15% off DIY stuff pretty much every weekend. I get my VG from Amazon by the gallon. I used to get https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PSGWHIO but it tripled in price. I've gotten https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXHXRND the last 3 years and it is just as good. Make sure you get a vape juice app so you mix it right, get a food scale so you can measure by weight instead of ml, and something to mix it in. I use my old VG gallon jugs, put one on the scale and zero it out, put in the nic by weight, zero it out, then the flavorings - zero - VG - zero. Just remember if you make a full gallon you need a much bigger container - maybe 1.5 gal.
Lemme know if you have questions. I love it when people get off the Chinese mystery chemicals and save money in the process.
I'm not sure if the nicotine is really addictive, or if the chemicals tobacco companies add (to keep their customers) is the only addictive part.
I vape, and make my own juice so I know I'm not getting Chinese killer chemicals. For over 2 years pre-covid I was vaping without any nicotine - after smoking cigarettes for 25+ years. When I saw the French study that referenced French doctors noticing their covid patients were mostly non-smokerrs while the smokers were almost never getting covid I researched it. Then I bought pure nicotine (no extra chemicals) and added about half the amount of nicotine that would be in one of those old ultra-light cigarettes into my juice.
PSA - Be CAREFUL handling nicotine - gloves and goggles - 100% pure nicotine can kill you in small amounts. The amounts inside of vape juice or cigarettes are diluted and much smaller. Similar to water - drinking normal amounts is vital. Drinking too much will absolutely kill you.
Anyway - re-adding nicotine back into my juice didn't change my vaping habits, it didn't make me have the old feelings I had while actually smoking, and didn't lead to me wanting more nicotine. In fact it was the opposite. The next batch I made I used 1/2 the amount of nicotine as I used the time before. I don't know the real amount of nicotine we need to help protect us, but until I do I am sticking with the tiny amount I use. Maybe if I get sick I'll raise it, but I haven't been sick since my wife gave me covid at the beginning of the plandemic. It seems to be working for me.
Right. If you make your own it is just vegetable glycerin (VG), maybe some propolyne glycol (PG), flavorings (either make your own or use flavor concentrates from a trusted source), and (optionally) nicotine. BTW - VG is also used by millions of people as a hand lotion and a candy base. I don't use PG because it gives me a headache every time - I don't trust it but a lot of people make a 70/30 mix of VG and PG. It has something to do with making a vape puff feel like the throat hit you get from a cigarette.
There is one dangerous chemical in a lot of the Chinese juice, and mostly in certain types like the dessert flavors vanilla, custard, and butterscotch for example. Diacetyl. It is banned in the UK but not in the US - though most juice companies switched chemicals. That's the one that can give you "popcorn lung". China uses it a lot in their disposable vapes like Elf Bars - which are illegal in the USA and it looks like UK is also banning them.
Nicotine likely isn't as bad for people as the FDA has implied for years. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were trying to get people to stop smoking and they used nicotine as the demon instead of the formaldehyde, tar, carbon monoxide, and all the other addictive stuff the manufacturers put in their tobacco.
Also nicotine (in very tiny amounts) is in a fair amount of vegetables, and --- tea. Vegetables include eggplant, green bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, cauliflower, spinach, and cabbage (there may be more). You probably won't ever feel the nicotine because you likely can't eat enough in one sitting, and the stomach acid will destroy most of it anyway.
Well! I decreased my vape juice to the lowest, 3%. Guess I need to increase it.

Where do you buy the ingredients? Like menthol.

Thank you. (Place keeper...vape juice)
Not sure ... let's keep studying fren
It is addictive and this was the only time in the hundreds of tries that worked.
