Burning through a lot of e-juice

So I'm used to the smok tfv12 prince and used the RBA attachment. Normally went through about 60ml per week. Now that I've switched to a proper RTA (Wotofo elevate) I seem to have about doubled my e-juice usage... My builds are normally around .35 and on a low wattage. I do chain vape a little but it doesn't feel like its much more than I always have vaped.

Does anyone else go though about 100ml - 120ml of juice per week? I'm topping off the tank about 4-5 times a day. Seems like I'm doing something wrong but can't pinpoint anything other than me just vaping a lot now.

Thoughts?

Okay well damn. I'm on the low-end compared you to folks. I'll give DIY e-juice a try in the future, I've only snooped around very little in the DIY section. I like to save money! There's too many mouths to feed in my house haha.

Get my flavorings from Bull City Flavors and my PG/VG from Amazon (Essential Depot) Palm derived VG only, some is soy based and some say not good for vaping.
and I got my nic from MyFreedomSmokes.
Get my syringes (duda diesel) and bottles from amazon.

Sorry no recipe for Lava Flow.

Word to the wise: when making your first buy to follow a recipe, it is very, very important that you buy the recommended brand of flavoring

They are rarely interchangeable and your recipe is likely to be off if you use a different brand

TFA Apple tastes nothing like FA Apple for instance, though they both taste like apple, just not the same apple

Thank you so much to both of you! I'll be ordering the supplies shortly then. I'm surprised that I haven't done this sooner considering how easy it is. I just read a thread about how dangerous pure nic is, the guy made it seem you needed to have a hazmat suit on... WTF is up with that? Just watched a few people make some batches on Youtube and no mention of the dangers of pure nic.

I use 100 mg nic.
Just use caution. I o not wear gloves or anything. Just keep away from children or pets and if you get any on you promptly wash off with soap and water. If you do that the worst you will get may be a nic buzz. If get much at all on clothes just strip scrub yourself if it came thru and wash that piece of clothes by themselves.

Of course eye protection is good but I wear glasses so I can see to mix.

And I would not recommend any amateurs like me to get any nic stronger than 100 mg/ml.
Oh and promptly put cap back on nic after use to avoid doing something stupid like I would do and knock it over.

Pure nic is 1000 mg/ml and IS dangerous and one should use full lab safety procedures.

I have an enameled 8X12 metal tray with 1 inch sides on it that keep my nic in while mixing in case I do knock it over.

Outstanding Cromwell. I'll be ordering everything this Friday, looking forward to saving some money for sure.
DRAT! Just checked and apparently Amazon does not sell the Duda diesel syringes any more....

Glad I got quite a few.

They weren't using pure Nic, which is very difficult to find and buy anyways.

100mg nic is only 10%

Yea I looked for that brand and couldn't find it. Not a big deal as I found plenty of high rated ones
I dedicate 1 for nic and one for strong flavors like tobacco and such.
Rinse after each use or flavor by sucking it full of warm tap water 4 times or more and squirting it out then wipe the outside of the needle with a vaper towell and replace the guard thingy.
Properly rinsed and such one syringe will last me maybe up to a year.
I like the 1 ml ones for flavorings and nic . very precise.

some flavorings like citrus can be a bit rough on them.
Usually if a flavor is hard on your syringe it is a plastic tank cracker.

MFS is the only place I know of that has the high nic freebase.
not real sure if they sell it to just anyone though.
Never was interested in buying any.

But at $50/liter of 100mg nic you can make a year or so worth of juice :)
For me a liter lasts 3 years or more.

also if you get a liter seperate it out into smaller glass bottles and put in freexer.
Nic will oxidize with oxygen/air in the bottle and get quite peppery tasting and get yellow.
So the less air in the bottle the better and freezing makes it last for years.
It does not actually freeze, takes -50 f or lower to freeze the PG or VG it is mixed in.

I keep all mine in the freezer and fill a 30 ml amber glass bottle with it as needed to keep at my mixing station. The 30 ml bottle is easy to use with a syringe as well.
