Hi @Sk3tz0 - It really is very interesting, tons of fun and ultimately can save you a lot of money on juice.
As long as you follow common sense, it's really not all that potentially hazardous. The Nic widely available for mixing locally is 36 mg / 100 ml and not 100 mg. If you get any on your skin, you should certainly wash it off immediately and if you get any on your clothes you should change (and wash before wearing again
) that piece of clothing - all should be fine if you do that. Also (but this is common sense), make sure that your mixing equipment is clean and that you mix in a clean environment. If you spill any flavour concentrates, VG or PG you would simply create a bit of a mess.Hey @Sk3tz0 , just buy your DIY liquids from reputable suppliers & stay within the recommended nicotine levels & you'll be good
Yup - the flavour concentrates themselves don't contain any Nicotine (there are basically six (maybe seven if you add LorAnn) big reputable flavour houses that are primarily used for e-liquids. TFA / Capella / Flavour West and {to some extent} Flavour Art flavours are also used for purposes other than e-liquids, although they pay specific attention to vaping by indicating which concentrates contain Diacetyl, Diketones etc. Flavorah and Inawera are geared towards vaping). Most flavour concentrates are PG based, with a few VG options available.
Skyblue or, since you are in Cape Town, Valley Vapour (they also have by far the best selection of flavour concentrates locally): http://valleyvapour.co.za/product-category/diy_e-liquid_ingredients/concentrated-eliquid-flavour/. Vapour Mountain also stocks a wide selection of inhouse concentrates: http://www.vapourmountain.co.za/product-category/accessories/diy/flavours/. As far as I know, it is not made by any of the 'big' manufacturers but seems to be held in high regard by many in the know.
If I may ask, do you flavour your liquids? (I know that some people like unflavoured liquids and Vapour Mountain sells an unflavoured liquid as well) If you do flavour it, the range of VG based flavour concentrates are very limited and if you don't use the few available (the only one available locally that I can think of off the top of my head is the TFA Organic Strawberry) you will have to factor in your flavouring percentage as PG percentage.
Atomix Vapes in Kempton Park and Vapeowave in Centurion / Boksburg (personally I would suggest sticking to the TFA and the FW concentrates rather than the inhouse brand with the latter. A number of people on the forum also seems to have had problems with online orders without a response, so buying from the physical shop(s) would perhaps be better). I have seen a few times on the forum that Vape Cartel in Jhb South also sells concentrates, but these are not advertised on the website. Perhaps contact @KieranD to find out.

Pleasure again@Lingogrey
Thanks again.
Interesting observation, decided to try vape on the Rainbow Drops(along with Strawberry & Cream + Peach) batch I made and coincidentally drinking Fanta grape.
Guess what, somehow the tastes compliment each other. I think I should maybe find grape concentrates and give it a go. Looks like there is hope after all

Sounds awesome! I once tasted a DIY juice made by a well-known and excellent juice master that also had no grape or grape candy in it, but tasted like Fanta Grape. I think if you can achieve a taste without the 'obvious' ingredients it's very cool
Yoh... that sounds awesome, thank you!
