Alright so first of this is my first post here hence why its in the new members section. Im thinking about starting to make my own juice. I drip and preference 80vg 20 pg i notice you can get your nic in 100vg 100 pg or 50 50. So my question is should i go 100vg or 50 50 and mix vg in. Other than what exact start up supplies i need it seems not to intimidating. Thank you all in advance

Given your 80/20 mix/dripping preference, I'd go with 100% VG nic as most flavourings are PG and they'll make up the 20% part.
You need VG, PG, Nic base, concentrates for the flavourings (varies dependant on what your looking to make), syringes to measure everything out and patience to let it all steep together.
I'd also recommend something like eJuice Me Up to work out oyur percentages and record your mixes.

Yeah, to change the mix ratio just add more PG. That's were the juice mMe Up calaculator comes in handy, you could have 1 recipe but a 80/20 version of it saved and a 50/50 version of it saved as well- it takes the guess work out it.
Welcome ccsaber 
If you want the heavier VG preference, I'd be inclined to suggest you go for the 100 VG nic. Although you might not need a huge volume of nic since you're dripping.....
Until you get your 5 posts in, you can at least read through the DIY section under General e-liquid Discussion. Check the blogs by Hoosier and Danny45. They talk a lot about starting supplies and pitfalls when mixing.
I started DIYing a few months ago. I love it. I don't drip, and I'm in the 50/50 ballpark. I love being able to make whatever whenever and not have to limit myself.
Good Luck!

I'm also looking into making my own juice although it seems like you already know a lot more than I do.. I've got some research to do..
Starter kits are usually not recommended. You end up paying for a lot of stuff you don't need.
No need to dilute with distilled water unless your juice is to thick to properly wick in the atomizer you're using.
Nic doesn't suspend as well in VG. I'd suggest you get nic in 100% pg. Its easier to keep it mixed properly.
I don't have any pure pg. I just add my nic and flavoring, then fill the bottle with VG. Shake thouroghly after letting it sit in warm water and its good. The actual percentage ratio doesn't concern me at all. I know all of my juice is between 84% and 93% VG.
