It means pickup at their office, no shipping involved. They're in Florida, so....

Can anyone help me out a bit?

What is the bare minimum to get started making juice?

Some have helped ya out with 'where'. Check out my POST #11 for my minimal DIY equipment.

Good luck!

If I missed this on the list sorry, but I don't see small bottles (5-10ml). They are great for experimenting with flavours. Also, if you mix up _% and vape it all in a few days after mixing, I wouldn't suggest making up a huge batch at that percentage right away. I've done it, and sometimes after steeping for a couple weeks the flavour changes, so I've had to reduce the percentage, or add em, or both. Good luck

I started off the same way... with an order from wl for everything..nice, pg, vg and about 12 assorted flavors. Sounds like you've already placed your order and are good to go. I reused some vendor juice bottles to test and bought 10 10ml bottles from wl.

I mixed 18 batches so far until I found 2 recipes I really liked...I just made 15 ml of each yesterday. I vape 3-5ml per day and have kept very accurate notes on all my batches. So far I have used about 1/4 of the nice base I bought so you should go pretty far. (I vape 12mg). Before mixing the 15ml batches I have been making 5 ml batches...its easy to measure and if it really stinks you only toss out a little bit.

Also, I found a great deal on 30ml glass bottles with glass droppers on amazon...10.88 shipper for 12 of them!

Also...read the blogs from Hoosier...tons of good info there.

Hope this helps!

I got 10...

50ml LDPE Dropper Bottle with Child Resist Cap
DB-50ML-CRC Remove $0.59 $5.90

that way, I can premix my bases, and store them for when I need it.

I am doing 18mg now and want to cut it to around 15mg if not lower..

thanks!! where is the link for the Hoosier blogs??

and yes.. planned on premixing about half @ around 15, storing it in 50ml bottles.. then I do have small bottles here, and adding flavor to them. I couldn't snag any more flavors, but I hope what I have will be vapable, and last me till the end of the month. I should have 4 months of base.. so that gives me a few months to pick up more flavors.. and stack up my funds for the next go around

For my flavorings, I went with WL. They sell 8ml flavorings for ~1.50 each. I bought 20 of them to taste test and experiment with. I make smaller batches, 10-15ml, to try out the flavorings. When I find a flavor I like, I buy a bigger bottle from the manufacturer, TPA, FlavourArt, etc. That way, you do not waste money on a flavor that you do not like.

thank you!!!!!!

Just wanted to give you a hint. TPA does make good flavors. but you see all the buzz about capellas? They are running a bit of a sale right now. not-to-be-missed.

https://capellaflavordrops.com

TPA is good, but not as forgiving as others. Capella is great (sweet strawberry, sweet tangerine, just pop on any of the recent capella threads.)
Just mentioning cap because they are normally quite expensive and they have a 50% off sale right now.

 

[Sm0kyBlue]

Thanks BakuPeg.. but I already placed my order with WL..

maybe if they still have the sale next month.. but will be keeping my eyes out for good flavors on sale from now on!!
I had to just grab the basics and I am hoping this will get me by for a month.. till I can afford more..

but really appreciate you letting me know on Cap's sell..
