Continue to read through these posts.

Wal-mart can probably get 90% of your needs.
Glycerin in the skin care isle, PG at the pharmacy, loranns flavorings in the crafts or cooking areas, etc.

The only thing you will need then, is nic juice.
Numerous places online that sell flavorless nic juice in different nicotine strengths.

raddiver pretty much summed it up. If you have a local Hobby Lobby hobby shop, you can also find glycerine and flavorings there. Bakery supply stores are another good place to look if you're looking for a local retailer. Other than that, you can get pretty much everything online. Good Luck!

I found some helpful info in The Laboratory but haven't really put any of that knowledge to use yet.

It might be worth finding a vendor that carries everything you need: PG, VG, bottles, flavorings, measuring devices (eye-droppers and disposable pipettes), nic-juice, etc.

I haven't used any of these places, so I'm not recommending any one over the other, but here's a list (which may be missing some vendors):

DIY Flavor Shack by E-Cig Smoke Store
Happy Vaper
Juicy Liquid
Liquidxpress
Midwest Vapor
One Stop DIY Shop

k now i have more questions lol.
whats the glycerin for?
also why use vg over pg?
isn't it just pg/nic/flavoring to make the e-juice?

Thanks

Some ppl, like myself, prefer VG (Vegetable Glycerin) to PG (Propylene glycol), which can sometime irritate the throat. VG produces much, much more vapor than PG, another reason, and is a smoother vape, less hydration issues, Some ppl are allergic, others say they just prefer it. VG has a sweeter taste and is more natural product.

pg delivers more flavor, and vg creates more vapor. I believe this is what I've read. If not someone please correct me.

and whats the vodka for? just saw some people using it in their mixes. and some people adding distilled water.
