Here is an example of how I made Samoa Cookie today, took a 20 ml bottle, added 40 drops of Samoa flavor (went light on flavor to try) added the pre mix unflavored Nic at my level to bottle half way, shook well, added rest of pre mix & shook well, for a warm bath I held it under the tap for a few minutes using hot water, dried it off added my label and vaped it :) So good! Doesn't get any easier than that LOL plus zero clean up.
In terms that I understand this....with 30 drops = 1ml you are saying to me
Flavor = 1.3 ml
nic/pg/vg = 18.7 ml
Total =20ml bottle.

You can make it as easy or difficult as you want, whatever suits your fancy :) Some use syringes, some go by %'s, some by weight. Some use cylinders/ beakers. Me I like easy :)

Copy & Pasted that. That's my start into juice making. If I only knew a pegasus that could deliver me some syringes and flavorings this time at night, I'd be mixing me up some Somoa Cookies. When I buys some syringes like @sketchness said, what should I get after that? I already have a clean 120ml, 100ml, 60ml, 30ml, 15ml bottles..

Oh and what kind of syringes should I get? I know medical kind have different gauges and sizes, I'm sure it's the case with the kind ya'll are referring to use with making juice.

@J.d. Roberts some of your faves are more difficult. Cherry and blueberry are extremely fiddly. But not impossible. Custard and smoked custards are easier. Especially VCT style vapes as compared to a straight custard.

And really the best thing about DIY is being able to change it up frequently. I make a custard base and then when the mood strikes just add a couple drops of strawberry or tobacco to a 10ml. Boom new flavor.

I am extremely picky when it comes to juice. Most store bought is not good to me. And no additives, I usually go several weeks on a set of wicks.

Five 1ml syringes, a couple 10ml syringes, and a 20ml to start. A couple 14 gauge blunt tip needles and five 20 gauge blunt tips and you are set. I moved to mixing by weight a year and some months ago but syringes work well at first. Just make sure to put some tape on the syringes so you don't rub off the markings.

If you have a tractor supply near you they sell syringes for a couple of bucks for sizes 3,5,10 and 30ml.(its near the animal meds) You can pick up a 1ml from any pharmacy. Just tell them its for giving your pet medicine or something. Or your ejuice if you prefer.

Sweet man, thanks for your help. After I get those, I'll PM you, @bnrkwest, or @Sugar_and_Spice later on what to get after the supplies. I know this isn't ya'lls first rodeo and you guys have experience.

They sell clean medical grade syringes at a tractor, lawn mower, and farm store?

Dang. Learn something new everyday. I've never went in those stores before, I live a simple life, always took the simple route and went to Lowe's and Home Depot for my outdoorsy lawn and gardening needs :lol:

Yes they do. They sell meds for the animals and the animals need shots same as we do. The syringes are vacuumed sealed in plastic so they are sterile. And if they say luer lock that is even better because then you can screw the needles on them (like sketchness said) for a secure fit. But if they don't have luer locks its ok also, just push the needles on.

Nice. They have those all over Texas. I'll start by getting my supplies first, the set you suggested from Tractor Supply for starting out. Pretty cheap too.

To try it out just get some pre mixed Nic already mixed at your Nic level. That way all you do is add a blended flavor to the unflavored PG/VG Nic, shake and vape. So easy! I mix my flavors right in the bottle I am making up, I use the drop method, add drops shake and vape. I don't even own a beaker or cylinder :) I have about zero mess or clean up. It is really easy :)
It is easy. But inventing s Juice that really tastes well is INCREDIBLE!!!!

Yeah, one of these days.. like that old saying "when I get a wild hair up my..." I will. I didn't know about @bnrkwest 's method of drops. For some reason, I thought it'd be more difficult; measuring, chemistry, testing, etc.
Its nothing like that.

Get the PG, VG, nicotine and flavors out.

Load your ejuice calculator.

You will need to tell the calculator the size bottle yoy are making. Tge VG PG ratio, the nicotine strength, the flavors you are using, and tge calculator will spit out a formula that looks like this

xx.x ml VG
xx.x ml PG
x.x ml nicotine
x.x ml flavor 1
x.x ml flavor 2

Then just use a syringe for each pull the amount specified put in the ejuice bottle. Shake well steep for 2-3 days and enjoy.

When i mske Juice i get a piece of Wood with a HOLE that fits my 30 ml Juice bottle (so the bottle will not fall over and spill.) get my bottles out pull the amount of ml required jn syringes or pipettes dump in the bottle put lid on my Juice bottle put everything away and from start to finish i'm done in 10-15 minutes

In the beginning make small 3-5 ml batches because you will make batches you hate. Record all recipes. The Great ones expand to fill 30-120 ml bottles after the happy dance.

There are some ECF members that makes Juice in quart jars.

I'm a flavor chaser and LOVE to mix up flavors so i make enough to last me about a week

My juice rotation; D'nish (vaping as speak), Naked 100, Nick's Blissful Brews, Lovela, Mad Hatter, Flawless, and SB (my first premium almost 5 years ago and still good today, for me IMO). There's been a lot of from other's as well but their from one hit wonder type companies. Only 1 good juice in their whole 2342343433 juice line up. I suppose I'm still in the great search and keep on searching for that better s&c vape, or custard vape, the best blueberry bakery vape, etc. So many juices, so little time. One reason why it'd be hard for me to make my own, I like change. If I vape too much of something no matter how good it is, I tend to get tired of it, go to something else. But the companies I listed I've always stuck with, some for around 3/4 years. Recently, I stumbled upon Naked 100 not too long ago and so far I actually enjoyed everything I got from them, I'm not even a fruity dude either. My wicks are always nice and clean from their juice and it's cheaper than $20 for 30ml. Theirs come in 60mls. Sometimes when I vape juice from other's, my wicks look like dirty greasy dreadlocks within a half a day. Maybe due to sweeteners and other additives. Not too fond of added bonus stuff in my juice, not like toys in a cereal box.
My DIY juice costs me $1-1.36 for a 30 ml bottle.

Dang. Sounds nom nom. I saw ya'll talking about Samoa too, not sure if it was on this or another thread. I like cookie vapes every once and again. So where do you get your pre mix stuff and how do I learn to get into this easier way of making juice?
I get my VG and PG on Amazon because free shipping with Prime
I get my flavors St The Flavors Apprentice of High Desert Vapes.
Get the nicotine at RTS, MFS. nude, etc.

I use 10 ml syringes. I get them with the Blunt needle tips.
