Okay I cant keep spending every other day dealing with the massive crowd at my local B&M so I'm preparing to order some beginner DIY gear from wizard labs. Just wanted to run it by the masters here, and hopefully avoid forgetting to order anything critical.

So, here goes -
50/50 pg/vg 18mg nic base
about 10 flavorings of which I will add about 1ml per 9ml of base
sweetener of which I will add a few drops per batch to taste
pipettes
bottles

Pretty basic stuff. Am I missing anything?
I'm hoping for success mixing simple 1 or 2 flavor juice as described above.

I would get some ethyl malto and some syringes:)

PS - Do you actually have a massive crowd at your brick and mortar store?

Not sure what type of vape you like, but here's a few things I'm never without (and use a lot):

Cotton Candy (same as EM - must have!)
Marshmallow ... a "must" have!
Bavarian Cream
Vanilla Swirl (some type of vanilla you like)
Caramel Candy
Peanut Butter (although I only use Capella's on this one)

Well, there's more - but that's the "basic" list. I like "sweet" vapes. :)

We're on the same page flavor wise. I'm all about cinnamon danish, sugar cookie, vanilla swirl flavors.

At my B&M it's ALWAYS packed, at least an hour stuck in there. My gut tells me that the flavors I'm liking from them are pretty standard recipes that I can DIY at home for cheaper.

.... I don't know what you normally vape but I just want to make sure you know on an 18mg base your final product won't be 18mg after flavors.

I chain vape and didnt notice any effect when I switched from 24mg to 18mg so I figured after flavoring somewhere around 15mg will be fine...the syringes are just for more precise measuring than pipettes?

I'd advise getting higher nic content base, as it's a lot more cost-effective.

Yes, with .1 and .2 measurements on the syringes, it's hard to mess up your measurements.

*A tip for the syringes... apply clear box tape around the body of the syringe when you receive it to prevent the numbers and marking from being rubbed off.

I'm assuming Primer is going to the same B&M I am out off Colfax. The crowd in that place is ridiculous, I've almost taken a pic to MMS to my wife to prove whats taking me so long. Only been in there twice. First time was to get my starter kit and juice, the second time was to get a couple more flavors and ask some questions. Both visits I waited over an hour to talk to someone then close to 15 to check out... there were 7 or 8 people working so its not like its a lack of staff or anything.

Vegetable Glycerin USP
Size - 120ml
Marshmallow Flavor by lorann
Cinnamon Roll Flavor by lorann
Cotton Candy Flavor by lorann

Syringes and tips

Any thoughts?
