Just wondering if there is a post about what a beginner needs to get started in DIY. I'm a programmer, so I always do a customer assesment, requirements and hardware analysis before I start anything. 
Customer: Me. vaping for about two years now. Smoked cigarettes, expensive pipes, cheap cigars, dipped snuff and chewed tobacco; alpha addict. Vape ~7mg of 30mg 50%PG/50%VG per day using carto tank and clearo tanks. I favor the cleros. Batt mods: two Vamos, Early Provari, and a Vision Spinner. Not motivated by flavor but favors tobacco and "gingerbread" from a specific vendor. Frugal. WILL NOT pay over 33 cents per ml. Little or no useful chemistry knowledge, but accomplished BBQ artist and adept at following procedures.
Requirements: Customer requires a simple and repeatable method for producing his own flavored nicotine juice at a rate of less than 33 cents per ml. Plans to develop a good or acceptable recipe and then produce large (1gal) batches for personal consumption.
Hardware:
Pipette
Syringe
Mixing Flask with pouring lip
stirrer
30 ml storage bottles
Latex Gloves
Goggles
Supplies:
Liquid Nicotine - NO idea where to get this
Flavoring compounds (tobacco? Gingerbread?)
Propoline Glycol - Local drugstore has it cheap
Vegetable Glycrerin - Local drugstore has it, not cheap
Questions:
Is there an economical source of quality supplies including Nicotine?
Is there a good "Get Started" DIYers website for supplies?
Does Nicotine liquid have a shelf-life? Can it be extended by freezing/cooling?
Are there any special licenses needed to purchase Nicotine for personal use?
Any advice appreciated.
