One question homies, does 28 gauge ni200 wire feels much softer than a 28 kanthal? Mine that came from FT was so soft then it stays at it shape when i slightly apply force to it. Makes me feel like its 30 gauge. 9-10 wraps was around .17-.19 ohms

Got mine from Vaperstuff in FB. Postage available within Malaysia.
No kidding, I have a strawberry flavoured lube with the exact bottle, but in blue. Unrelated, yes. Just wanted to share my purchase history

Another question mate, one seller told me he is selling a 30ml nicotine with the strength of 100mg but he claims it is not mixed with pg yet. What does that mean and how do i go around that if i were to make my diy in 6%?

Now I could be wrong, but what you have there is pure  uncut nicotine which should be handled with care. You could dilute by adding PG yourself in 10% dilution, but why bother. Just grab a ready PG based Nic from Vaperstuff and you're good to go. Plus a purchase of 100 min gets free shipping. That's like a bottle of 100mg nic worth.
*
Basically i asked him if i need to mix it with PG, and he replied no. what got me confused is:

1 drop = 1 mg.
6mg@6drop

what does that even mean lol.

Thanks all. Anyway, let's say i get a 48mg PG base nicotine (based on what vaper stuff sells on fb), on the ejuice calculator, all i need is to key in 6mg as desired strength while nicotine strength i have to key in 48? This' the site im using http://e-liquid-recipes.com/create I've mixed a few recipes but seems like 0 nicotine made me vape even more and the lack of throat hit annoys me.

Just like quite a lot of our local backyard brewers - the labels says 6 mg but in reality they only use 2 to 4 mg.

Not saying that your supplier is cheating you, but there are some un-scrupulous guys who dilute their nic by more than 25 percent lower.  If you are a serious home brewer, you should test the nic you bought to make sure the labeling is correct.  Google for diy nic strength test kit.

It could also be you made a mistake while keying in your ingredients into the online eliquid calculator.  You may consider cross checking by using manual calculation as follows:

Objective : to brew 30 ml juice with 6 mg nic using 48 mg strength nic base

amount of nicotine required will be 30 x 6 = 180 mg of nic

amount of nic base at 48 mg strength = 180/48 = 3.75 ml of nic base

By substituting the parameters, you can ensure that there are no mistakes made in your recipe.
But wait!!!   

Did you mix all ingredients thoroughly?
Did you steep the brew?  I don't think you did - you just test vape it immediately after mixing....

The lack of steeping may account for the lack of throat hit as the ingredients had not been steep properly.
*
Yep, could be. Anyway gonna steep them now for a week. However, i don't think my 0mg (nic) recipe will have any throat hit though.

Nearlly killed myself with nicotine. Tried my diy with nic today after 24 hours of open cap steeping, DAMN the damn thing burns my freaking throat and nostrils when i inhale and exhale. What did i do wrong lol? Felt damn high with just one puff.

Bought pure 12mg vg base nic from vaperstuff (100ml) to cook up my recipe:
Nicotine 12mg 7.5ml (50%)
PG dilutant 3ml (24%)
VG dilutant 1.5ml (10%)
Flavors 2.4ml (16%) (all pg base)

Strength: 6 mg
PG/VG-ratio: 40/60
Flavor total: 2.4 ml (16%)

Was making a 15ml batch

OK the numbers make more sense after u edited the post.
Are u and the seller very sure it is 12mg strength nicotine? If you're absolutely certain, then 6mg target strength isn't for u; try 3mg.

It takes time to steep, depending on the ingredients. Could be a week, could be 3 weeks. Till then, it'll taste very rough.
*
But im used to vape 6mg US juices though. Even the black flag fallen with 12 mg was not as harsh as this. I just poured the whole recipe down the toilet lol.

Looks like uneven nic on your juice. Recommended steeping for nic is at least 2 days. Remember to shake it hard at least once a day.

12mg nic on vaping wont kill you, just harsh for some people.
*
The prob is.. i used the ejuice calc and got the right amount to cook up a 15ml recipe with 6mg strength.. Damn, even without vaping it, i tried smelling the vapor and it burns my nostrils as well.

Shake it and let it steep. Don't play around with nic. Liquid form nic is poison.

Too afraid to use the nic that i bought now. Mind to share where you got yours?

Anyway, mine was a shake and vape recipe that i got online but it dint work for me. :/

I have never done business with vaper stuff although I did consider to purchase stuff from them. One reason is because they don't do business on weekends, and only do cod on weekdays.
I just checked again on their fb page that says there closed now. Opens Monday. So that's why (maybe?) the didn't respond to you.

Contacted them through whatsapp

DIY Masters, does your own DIY feel as good as premium US juices? Despite following some famous recipes online, they just dont feel (not taste) as good as their US counterparts. Most of my US juices has a nice feel or feels 'thick' in the mouth even for fruity ones. However, most of my DIY feels rather 'light' and somehow bland...

Another question .. been vaping 70vg - 80 vg juices on my kfun life plus with no dry hits but my own diy 70% hardly absorbed into the wick. Yes, wicking styles the same but does steeping help 'thin' out the vg?
