Nic mg level

[miller]

Im just getting into DIY and am putting my first order together at ecigexpress but was wondering what mg nic should i buy? I plan to make all my recipes 3mg. Should i but 3mg? Should i buy higher and dilute it?

I'd buy higher than 3mg, just for the fact that your final mix, if adding flavors, would be below 3. Many people buy 100mg, then mix down as they go, but buy what you're most comfortable with.

I don't dilute when I get it, but I do transfer to smaller glass bottles, then put those in the freezer. (protected by bubble wrap or stored in cardboard boxes).

My first time mixing, I got 48mg, in a smaller size, just to get a feel for it at all. The next time I needed nic, I went ahead with 100mg, because mixing was so much easier than I expected. When I got the 100mg, OMG, you'd have thought I was mixing with Kryptonite, I was so nervous, LOL. Everyone I know that starts mixing, and has success, always says they wish they'd started sooner.

DIY really is easy, much easier with all the fantastic recipes posted here. It's worth the research to keep yourself safe, not to mention if you have younglings around. Always ask questions when you're not sure about something, ask twice if ya have to. Take notes. I have 3 notebooks full of info that I'm so glad I still have. ALWAYS shake your nic before splitting up, and before mixing.

DIY can get addictive.

Thanks for the info. I think ill go ahead and get the 100mg. I have been researching for a while and dont plan to stop. I feel you can never have enough knowledge.

Consider getting some glass amber or cobalt colored bottles to transfer into for longer storage. A liter of 100mg will last you quite a while at 3mg per mix. Let us know if we can help with anything at all. Good luck!

And the 100mg is the most cost effective, and easiest to store. Contrary to what some folks apparently think, 100mg nicotine isn't exactly toxic waste -- reasonable care should be taken, of course, but it's not a case of OH MY GOD I GOT A DROP ON ME, THE SKY IS FALLING! or anything like that. If you do happen to get some on you, just rinse with cold water -- warm water opens the pores, which makes it even easier for nic to absorb. Naturally if you have any pets or kids around, be sure to wipe up any spills very carefully.

Yup. 100mg is safe. So as long as you respect what your mixing with. If you take proper care from the start every time you work with it, it's just fine. That's what I got on my first order.

If you don't respect the nature of 100mg nic then it is not safe to mix with.
