    so i'm looking to take the plunge into DIY juice making and have a few questions.
    I notice that the nic base comes from China and was wondering if this is the same base many of us have long since decided we don't like which is why we pay the extra for US juices? There's not much point in me making juice if it ends up tasting like Feelife, and i'm not averse to paying more for better quality if necessary.

    I see lots of links to a local vendor called chemipan. Is this the best place to buy the nic free base juices VG+PG or are people going to the e-cig nic base vendor and buying from them?

    I'm looking to end up around 10% nic level. Which is a good nic base to go for?

    Is it best to have some nic free pg juice as well as the nicotine stuff? I believe the VG juice is nic free since the pg carries the nic. Should i buy 3 bottles, 1x 0mg vg, 1 x 0mg pg and 1 x nic base pg?

    regarding flavours, can anyone recommend a vendor? I'm aware of several but would prefer to hear from people who've experimented with more than one as i have no idea. I'm interested in quality over price (within reason).

    Cheers

    i personally vape only 0 mg Nic, so no big help in that one, although one question, reg. the nic base from china .... i like quite a few Feellife juices a lot, like banana chocolate, but for me they are always without nic. So are you saying that prolly the same thing with nicotine would be a very ugly taste?
    - i am asking cause i ordered for a friend of mine as gift some with nic. and he tested mine without nic and loved them too.

    As for flavors, i bought a lot of the ones from Chemipan and so far i am not impressed from any of them, one (Chewing Gum) turned out to be a major PMMA tank killer, i mixed the Chemipan flavors i tried wiht 10%, and after 2 weeks of steeping they still taste flat. I could be wrong but steeping might not even do good on the chemipan flavors LOL

    others i tried where:
    Flaywer - Leckere Lebensmittelaromen für E-Zigarette & Küche its in German language but basically they are resellers for Capella, Meiwei * TPA Juices but prices seemed reasonable for me.
    from that vendor i have some Capella and TPA juices and they all do well on my 7 - 10% mixes, but they need a good steeping time.

    Thanks Oil.

    Well i've tried 3 fee life juices and all left a nasty oily irritating film on the roof of my mouth. One was marlboro light, one was red marlboro and one was green apple i think. BTW, i'm a fussy *astard and dislike most juices i try that others are happy with, so there's no reason your mate should have a problem. Actually the marlboro light was very tobaccolike to vape, but the after taste and throat irritation got to me.
    Currently the only juice i really like is Newminster 23 but that is partly because i have a load of 18 mg juices and have moved to RBAs and now find them too strong. The others are either bad choices, or juices i used to like and have gone off. This is why i'm eager to experiment with DIY. I find most juices fairly disgusting and don't want to go back on the cigs. Forum member Colin kindly gave me a sample bottle of his strawberry and Kiwi (which tastes like marzipan to me) and i'm currently vaping it in my Taifun GT and quite enjoying it so it's time to explore.

    For me:

    VG/PG from Chempian
    Nic 36 mg in PG from Health Cabin (I see that they now say DHL/EMS only not Airmail :(
    Flavors from The Flavorer's Apprentice or FlavourArt

    So if someone has a better nic option that could work out cheaper.

    To give you an idea of quantities:

    1 30ml juice at 10mg contains: 2-3ml flavor, 8.3ml (36mg) nic base, rest is PG/VG
