DIY ejuice suplies ordered.

So I have been vaping for 19 day without a cigarette.  The stores all around in my area is selling ejuice for $7 a 10ml bottle that's 70 cents a ml. To me this is just crazy prices considering I am vaping about 2-2.5ml so my cost on ejuice alone a day is $1.40 to $1.75. So I have found out that I can produce my own juice at a fraction of this cost.

After researching a bunch of blogs and forums I made my order. I found out some companies have some DIY stuff cheaper than others. So I found one site that has the concentrate juice for flavoring and the VG and PG at great prices but their unflavored nicotine is costly. I also was told don't go off a companies word that the nicotine is at the level they claim it to be.

So I ordered from three web sites and some stuff I purchased in large quantities because they have a long shelf life like your PG and VG has a shelf life of about a year. So I purchased the fallowing a gallon of each PG and VG, 10 pure concentrate flavoring sample bottles, 120ml of 100mg unflavored nicotine, 10ml cylinder and a 100ml cylinder for mixing, syringes and blunt needles, and a nicotine test kit.

WARNING: Unflavored nicotine above 48mg is deadly and need to be handled with extreme care. Always keep kids and pets away. If your handling any amounts of nicotine use gloves and make sure you test your nicotine levels. All suggestions or post on this blog is informational knowledge and  the blogger does not assume any responsibilities to your actions.

So with that little legal note my nicotine test kit arrived Friday I am still waiting on two more shipments before I can start my post on my DIY mixing.

        

Day 9 my coil went bad, almost smoked

Today was a tough day last hour of work my coil in my kangertech protank 3 went bad. I didn't have a spare clearomizer with me or even a replacement coil.  I was searching all the stores i knew looking for a coil or clearomizer but non affordable could be found till I went to Sal's smoke shop in Hanford, CA. The bad thing is when I went to Sal's a young kid was working and this couple was shopping for vaporizer. The guy seemed like he didn't really want to try to start vaping that the girl was forcing his hand to try it. Both of them didn't have a clue of what to get or anything else. I attempted to give him advice and to his deer in the headlight looks he gave me I knew he wasn't to thrilled on buying a vaporizer. What he bought and really needed was two different things. The kid working wasn't much help to him because he didn't have a clue about vaping.  Since my personal advice seemed unwelcome from him I bought my clearomizer and headed home. I made day nine with out a cigarette.

Day 8 EVOD sucks!!!

Well today me EVOD started leaking again. Now I am convinced that clearomizer sucks big time and is a waste of money. Good thing I had my protank mini with me. I haven't had a cigarette in 8 days and am feeling good about that. I don't know if it's me or the protank just burns more vapor then my other Clearomizers but so far I vaped a lot today more than usuall and the day isn't totally over yet.

Morning of Day 8.

I got too busy yesterday to post so I am posting right before work. Yesterday was another day of being cigarette free. My EVOD clearomizer did have one problem yesterday it leaked a little. I don't know why but when you get to the bottom of a tank it likes to leak.
My strawberry e juice is starting to get harsh on my throat and I don't know why. It can be a couple of things either because the nicotine is too much for my throat to handle or the company I purchased the my juice from made it that way. I know I have about 10ml left and I don't want to throw it away.
Since I didn't buy any Vapor products or cigarettes yesterday my cost savings was at -$40 on day 6 and today its at -$36. I am almost breaking even compared to smoking.

Day 6 of vaping and cost savings.

Today is day six of vaping without smoking. I am still not craving cigarettes but more of a want out of habit. That is until I ran down to the local store and seen a person outside smoking. My first thought was man that looks good until I got closer and smelled the cigarette. Then I smelt the smoke and it turned my stomach my want for a cigarette disappeared fast. So I think my need and want for a cigarette is in the past now. That moment at the store of smelling the smoke made me realize why my non smoking wife tries to stay away from me after a cigarette. 

Now let's look at cost savings after six days of vaping. My starter kit cost $28, my juice (which I still have a lot of) cost $28, my new clearomizers cost $26 that brings the total so far of vaping to $72. Minus the savings of not smoking for six days which should total $32. After six days I am still negative $40. I know I will break even and be saving money probably after one more week like I said I still have a lot of juice left. My wife even loves not smelling the cigarettes anymore and I don't blame her. Health wise so far I only noticed I am starting to get my sense of smell back other than that I haven't seen any other health improvements. 

Kangertech protank 3 mini review.

This review is on the Krangertech min protank 3 pictured below.

I ordered two of these Krangertech mini protank 3 from eBay for $8.99 each. It's a bottom fill clearomizer. The only bad thing I found out with this clearomizer is the vapors seem to have a little too much air. The hits are more smoother compared to my other Clearomizers and I miss my nice throat hit from it. It's easy to hit from and if you have a variable battery you can get a great vapor from it. 

For local vapors in my area I found that Sal's smoke shop sales this clearomizer for $11.99.

On a scale of 1-5 I give this clearomizer a

Regular 3. Recommend this clearomizer to anyone who wants a more smooth hitting clearomizer with good vapor.

Krankertech EVOD review.

This review is for the Krangertech EVOD pictured below.

I purchesed this clearomizer from Fresno City Vapor. Their staff is funny, helpful and well knowleged. They sold me a Kangertech EVOD clearomizer for $10 which for a vapor store buy it was a reasonable price. You can take the cleromizer completely apart for easy cleaning or just to change the replaceable coil which Fresno City Vapor also sales for $1.99. This clearomizer is a bottom fill.

Now with that said the cons about this clearomizer. I have had only two problems from this clearomizer. First is the vapors build up in the drip tip (mouthpiece) and it pays to carry a q-tip with you to clean it before the build up spits juice into your mouth. The other problem I had was a manufacture defect I got halfway through the tank and it started gargling and spitting juice into my mouth and leaking fluid onto my battery. I kept my recipt and went back to Fresno city vapor first thing in the morning. When I walked in it was the same staff from the  night before an they remembered me so no recipt was necessary. They looked at the clearomizer and found out the coil was missing a seal. They gave me a new coil (no charge) and sent me on my way. I haven't had any leaks since. The condensation in the drip tip still builds but like a said nothing a q-tip can't fix.

The EVOD offers a great hit with a lot of vapor for it's size. On a scale of 1-5 it receives a strong 3 from me and I would recommend this clearomizer to anyone.
