Cheap way to get started!

[espkh123]

Hey guys, this marks my 1 month anniversary to quitting smoking!
Instead of buying a nice authentic mod (which I am still going to do... might as well)
I would like to start my own DIY workshop in my room.
Figured since I am 18 and am never in my bedroom and it is spotless - my huge dresser (which sits at waist level) would be a good DIY station since most of my supplies are in my briefcase ^^
Now I want to get started with supplies for cheap.
I am generally against buying a complete "kit" because they mark it it so much for what you get usually.
I check on diyvaporshack and want to evaluate ALL possible options.
I don't really need a case as I can make one.
I plan on building a multi tier wood container that has been drilled to accommodate all type of juice bottles and flavoring extracts.
What do you all suggest I start with?
It seems overwhelming - some of the stuff I see on here are pretty sore on the eyes and I can't follow.

So far I am thinking of these

5 30ml glass bottles
10 10ml plastic refillable bottles
latex gloves.
Flavoring - dont really know where to get it yet though
100mg base nicotine
I want to use 70vg to 30 pg - do I mix it myself? Or do they come pre done. (where to find these raw materials)
.........

Anyone have links or any suggestions to a WELL PUT TOGETHER guide?
Once I get into this I plan on making a huge guide for new people through pdf.

I would go with the 60mg nicotine until you get familiar with the process. It is safer to deal with, and the cost is about the same per ml of finished product. I would start with either ecig express, or wizard labs. EX is a little cheaper on bottles, and WL is cheaper on nic and PG/VG bases.

You will need:
Bottles
Syringes or dropper pipettes (I prefer syringes)
14ga(for VG) and 18ga(for pg/flavor) blunt needles for syringes
flavoring
nicotine base (IN VG if you are wanting over 50% VG in your final product)
VG
PG

If you order all at once from Wizard Labs, orders over 65.00 get free shipping and it's fast. WL carries TFA flavorings, which you can find tons of recipes, and suggested percentages for here...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread.html

I would also recommend picking up a cheap dripper atomizer to test your mixes if you don't have one already.

Just getting into DIY juices. Only used the EgO batteries and Ce4/5 or Kanger T3s attys so far. These take a lot of liquid to function properly. Can you suggest a "cheap dripper atomizer"?

Fastech has the igo-l for 8 bucks. You'll also need a better battery than the ego. Maybe grab that mod you're talking about with kanthal and some organic cotton balls.

Please note that nitrile gloves are the type you want, not latex. Nicotine will penetrate/deteriorate latex gloves. Most are wrist length but for a little more you can get longer disposable versions which offer more protection. While you're at it, pick up some eye protection or a face shield as well.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
Im hoping to learn all this quickly and be good at it.
What websites have the best and biggest variety of flavoring?
I want to mix different flavors together and not just use 1 per juice. Gotta make my signature juice

Pick up one or two 5ml, 10ml, and 25ml graduated cylinders. I got mine relatively cheap at Amazon. I like using them because it is simple to drop the ingredients directly into them without worrying about measuring with syringes. A word of caution. If you don't get the expensive ones, the measurements may not be the same between different cylinders. 10ml in one may be 9.5ml in another. However, if you mix in a single cylinder this is not a problem as the percentage of each ingredient work out correctly in the final mix.

Edit: Howdy, neighbor. I'm close to Kingsville.

I like RTS Vapes, they have everything you'll need.
