    I think I have 10 tube Provari's and 2 Radius now, I think I am set :) LOL probably more than I will ever need.
    A couple years ago I sold all my v2's except 3. I knew 3 was enough. Now I have 16, how did that happen? I blame it on this thread.

    Since flavors for me are the one unknown I like to keep my concentrations as low as I can... That is one of the reasons I do not want to be forced into closed systems - I am not controlling what is in there...

    My reason why I don't want to be forced into a "closed" type system (FDA-style) is freedom. I don't DIY. I'm silly, I like to buy and try out other's tasteful juices rather than just the same ole stuff over and over and over and over again. I've been vaping so long, I've developed a juice rotation, most vapers have. I'm not going to fond of being forced to pick out the crap the FDA thinks should be available. To each his own. Anyways, I like being able to turn the PC on, browse the thousands of juices available online on several sites, pick some out, order it, have it horse and carriage to my front door, and me being able to vape it; all in a coupe of days, depends on if the horse is hungry or if it's rainy. They don't like that.

    I guess I need a couple of handfuls more. Good job the expensive month is over and I can start buying again.

    You just may have to DIY someday if nothing is approved and the flavors now are fabulous!!! The blends you just add to your Nic VG/PG and vape, couldn't be easier :)

    I would like to have a Radius but can't justify the price. I paid the full price on some tubes and P3's and just don't want to pay that much for any mod in the future. They are pretty though. Maybe one day I will have one. If they had other colors, it would be harder to resist. :closedeyes:

    Yeah, lol, I know, you guys keep telling me to DIY. But I love other's juices so much, I don't think I'll be a good enough chef to whip up juices like my favorite companies. Maybe time and practice, slowly develop skills along the way, then be good at it at some point. I'm just kind of on the fence on it right now. Supplies costs money. There's so many things vaping-wise I want still.. another wood & acrylic mod maybe from Art & Mod, cuz my Axis Vapes M17 needs a friend, and a few authentic US made RDA's I'm waiting for availability on. I know it's kind of pricey shopping for beakers, glass tubes, syringes, Nic, PG, VG, bottles, latex gloves, etc. then come to find out, I suck at juicing...

    87v8e_s-200x150.gif

    ... that's what I'd be afraid of. Ionno, when I do @bnrkwest, I'll tell you and def ask you for your recommendations as far as supplier for nic, best recipes for noob juice makers, and what not. If only I'd know know I'd be good at it, then probably.

    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 :)

    With all the uncertainty you should think about picking up some nic and glass bottles to store it in.

    I don't want to rebuild or make my own juice and resent having to even plan for it. I would much prefer to be a blister packer and just buy the juice but would rather vape than smoke, so stocking up it is.

    There is a new thread in the DIY for just this type of help also. To make your own ejuice that you like is much simpler than you think it is. And there are load of members to help you on the way, inlcuding a lot of ppl in this thread too.

    What are some of your favorite juices? Would be easy to tell you how hard those types of flavors are to replicate.

    Edit- most of the glassware is unnecessary to get started mixing. 5 or 6 syringes or a $10 scale from Amazon to get going. You can get everything to try a recipe for cheap

    DIY is so much cheaper anyways. i have been doing DIY liquid now for a few years. im not paying $20+ for a 30 ML bottle. it costs nowhere near that to make it, it costs 30 cents to make that bottle. now i am working on DIY coils. that's a bit harder then liquid i think but im getting there. again, its also cheap. $20 for 180 sheets of cotton, $20 for a 100 feet of kanthal. its a fraction of the cost of a coil at $4 a piece. i have been a cheapskate most of my life and i really dont have a choice most of the time.

    another good reason to make an eciggity purchase, the put $5K into the lawsuit against these FDA clowns. i dont see MFS on the list of companies that put into it. come-on, what are they waiting for lol

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    What are some of your favorite juices? Would be easy to tell you how hard those types of flavors are to replicate.

    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.

    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?
