Thank you very much for your help, Zoli, honestly, I’ll start mixing because I need to learn how to do it. Where do you usually get your PG, VG, and Nic from? And are there any places left that send concentrates? I have enough for half a year, but I’m glad you’re here and very grateful that you showed me the way, because I had become too comfortable with that (meaning DIY base)…

Me neither, so it would be a short meeting :smiley: I think it’s not simple

Hi Imre! Welcome to the team, and high five for making the switch! :right_facing_fist::left_facing_fist: As a doctor, it’s especially cool that you chose vaping instead of cigarettes, and the Ragnar + Dovpo combo is truly something else, you can definitely create some fog in the consultation room with that! :joy:

Zolika was right, I’m the resident vape scientist here, so I’m happy to help you navigate the world of DIY (or DYY as you wrote it). Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of mixing soon, it’s not rocket science, especially for a doctor!

Here are the great sources you were looking for:

1. Base Liquids (PG and VG)

In Hungary, the most reliable and purest source is Floravita. They deal in chemical goods and have pharmaceutical-grade products:

Besides these, Aroma49 and Flavorhook are also good options when it comes to base ingredients.

2. Flavors

If you’re looking for concentrates that are easy to work with, I recommend these sites:

3. Nicotine

As Zolika hinted, nicotine bases and boosters can legally only be obtained in Hungary from National Tobacconists. If you order from abroad (e.g., Slovakia), it’s theoretically possible, but be aware that Hungarian authorities don’t look favorably upon it, and they might confiscate the package. Many people cross the border to shop in person, which is a perfectly viable option.

4. Help with Mixing

To avoid having to calculate percentages in your head, use Vaperina’s in-house developed calculator:
:backhand_index_pointing_right: VapeDIY Calculator
Here you can set your desired nicotine strength and PG/VG ratio, and it will tell you exactly how many milliliters of each to mix.

Important Info: Since there are no official vape shops in Hungary, always be cautious when ordering online. If you’re unsure about a shop, check this list to see if it’s blocked: SZTFH Blocked Sites

If you have any more questions about mixing or devices, just let me know! Good luck with your work in Békés! :blush:

I apologize in advance, but I thought I’d share my own experiences too. Regarding equipment (device, head, wire, cotton, etc.), I regularly ordered, and my package arrived about 2 months later, but it arrived without any problems. https://www.2fdeal.com/

Hi Imre! Thanks for sharing your experience with 2fdeal, this is super info for everyone else too! :right_facing_fist::left_facing_fist:

It’s really a well-known and popular site in vaping circles, especially when it comes to rarer items or good-priced clones. However, since I’m also the “rule manager” here, I have to add a few things so you know what to expect in the future:

What’s worth knowing about 2fdeal (and similar Chinese sites)?

  1. Origin: This is a China-based webshop. Since China is not an EU member, customs and VAT regulations theoretically apply to packages arriving from there. Although packages often “slip through” or avoid direct customs clearance with special shipping methods (e.g., Euro Special Air Mail), this is never a 100% guarantee.
  2. Shipping Time: The 2 months you mentioned is completely realistic from China, especially if something is on “pre-order” status or gets stuck at customs. It’s a game of patience, but it’s usually worth the wait.
  3. Risks in Hungary: As I mentioned before, Hungarian regulations are quite strict. Authorities can theoretically confiscate vape devices ordered from abroad and initiate proceedings. It’s great news that yours arrived without issues, but know that every such order is placed at your own risk.
  4. Blocked Sites: It’s worth checking the SZTFH list sometimes, as foreign shops can be added to the ban list at any time. If the site doesn’t load, a VPN might help, but the order remains legally “tricky”.

Gilbert’s Tip:

If you order hardware (mod, tank), it usually attracts less attention than liquids. Wire, cotton, and accessories are considered even “safer” categories.

I’m happy you’ve equipped yourself so well, with the Ragnar and Dovpo alongside your finds from 2fdeal, you’ll have a truly professional setup! If you get stuck with mixing, or need a couple more proven flavor tips, you know where to find me! :wink:

Happy vaping and good luck with your orders! :dashing_away:

Hi Imi! I’m glad you’re finally here on vaperína too! :slight_smile: I join those who spoke before me, saying that you should use the “VapeDíy” calculator on the site, because it doesn’t make mistakes. Although I’m already doing the mixing ratios from memory, the math always matched!

…and now put your hand on the screen…..can you feel it getting better? :grin::wink:

Please, can someone help me understand why it’s better to mix a base liquid than to add PG, VG, and nicotine separately to the given flavor according to a recipe? Longfill flavors are steeped in varying amounts of PG, it also matters what ratio you mix the flavor in, not to mention the nicotine strength. So, why is it better to mix a base beforehand? Thank you in advance for the answer! :slight_smile:

Although I don’t use pre-mixed base liquid, I can only guess:

  1. They don’t take into account the differences you described (for aromas to be mixed in low percentages, with good approximation, the final result will also have proportions similar to the base liquid)
  2. They only use aromas with roughly the same mixing percentage, so when mixing the base liquid, they also calculate with the aroma.

Let’s look at the main reason… which I think is laziness, or, to express it more nicely, simplifying the mixing, in my opinion, at least that’s how it is for me…
Of course, a longfill is a different matter, but in the case of normal flavoring, it’s much simpler for me, e.g., 85 base + 15 flavoring, rather than 32 PG, 50 VG, 3 nic, 15 flavoring… for every single bottle.
Happy Vaping :heart:

I can’t argue with these arguments, I understand everything :smiley: We think differently, my OCD can’t stand it if the ratios and nicotine strength aren’t precise, I’d rather fuss over mixing it :smiley:

I really hope I’m okay :grin:

I’m rarely seen commenting on other portals, even though I’m here and there :blush:

I don’t dare to write there anymore, because others write such things that the animal in me would come out with one comment or another :joy:
