I was lost at spending $100 per week on juice.

There are cheaper ways to vape; up your nic and ohms, you will see a radical reduction in cost for starters.
Thanks for the advice. Already plan to up my nic with my next purchase. Didn't think about a higher build too

Another vote for DIY juice. we all had to start DIY without knowing what we were doing. I figured one week rather than buy two bottles at 40 bucks I would place and order at Wizardlabs. got some PG/VG/and 12mg nic and a few flavors.

Try this... go to e-Liquid Calculator and look through the recipes. Then find one or two that sound good to you. look at the flavors you need and then pop over to wizardlabs and select them. You can get nic at 12MG so you KNOW its good and safe and using a good calculator such as Steam engine .org (Sorry work computer wont let me link to that site...) click on the liquid tab and plug in the nic base you are using, and the flavors and percentages you need. it will tell you how many ml's of each flavor you need to add to end up with a batch the size and nic strength you want.

It seems daunting at first, but after you make a couple bottles you will be wondering why you didnt do it sooner and save money faster. I have a notebook that I keep with my mixing stuff and when I make a juice I write down what went in it and the percentage of each. Inside the cover I have a table of percentage/ml based on a 30ml batch so that rather than use Steam Engine each time I just look at the recipe/table and know that 6.7% is 2 ml and such. Then I rate the batch and add notes on the page depending on if one flavor was overpowering or whatever.

Once you do it a couple times it is really simple. Right now Im vaping a good banana cream mix I found...

6.7 % banana cream
6.7% Vanilla bean Ice cream
4% Bavarian Cream
2% Vanilla bourbon


I have also made it with Strawberry instead of Banana and it is just as good. I have also mixed it with an added 5% Cheezecake, grahm cracker crust which was also Delicious.

Just a thought.

I'm definitely going to be looking into this. Thanks for the info
