diy help needed

[bfrie]

i have decided that i am sick of letting vendors deciding what i like, plus would like to save money and be even more interactive with my vaping. that means i must finally jump into the crazy world of diy

i read the guide on here, but that just left me more confused than ever.

from what i can tell, all i will need to start off is
nicotine
pg
vg
flavoring
little plastic bottles
menthol

what i may want later:
citric acid
more plastic bottles than i can handle

from what i read, flavorart or lorrann seemed like the best flavor vendors (correct me if im wrong)

is there anything i missed that is absolutely necesary for a beginner diy (not necesary for an expert)

also, links to some good sources for nic, pg, vg, flavor, menthol, and bottles would be much appreciated

u could do it the super easy way like i do if ya want/ instructions halfway down my newbies thread (sig link)

that seriously is genius. unflavored nic base insted of all that complicated stuff? do you get your flavor concentrate off the same site?

 

[Shilo]

I suggest you read all the stickies at the top of the DIY section for starters DIY E-Liquid and frequent that forum---lots of great threads and people--good luck its alot of fun to make it for yourself

yep, these days i only buy flavour art stuff, still have yet to get a bad flavor from them, in fact all of them are really good and i've never even gotten a mediocre FA flavor.

all i buy is this - http://www.ecigexpress.com/nicotine...flavored-e-liquid-nicotine-select-size-p-1479

tried that from wallyworld... didnt like the taste. I like using either cotton candy, bubblegum or sweet cream

DARKHOOD/ everyone else

Ok I have the following in my pantry lol
this was all for baking but I want to know if it's safe for diy eliquids

McCormick pure anise extract- it's 68% alcohol, water, and oil of anise listed as ingredients
LorAnn Oils Chocolate Hazelnut flavor
I also have LorAnn brown coloring gel
let me know, not so sure about the food coloring/anise
0.o

I also have some carrot cake flavoring coming and vg 12 mg nic unflavored base.

 

[cherrycakes]

also can u help me out with like how many drops per ml you usually use?

 

[Rin13]

I personally, wouldn't use anything with an oil base. I've read bad things about it and it just doesn't seem healthy.

 

[cherrycakes]

thanks! according to this
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...rs-color-coded-complete-ingredients-list.html
anise oil = no
chocolate hazelnut= yes
still not sure about the coloring gel >.> gonna go with no since the choc hazelnut is already brown as is

Some decent glassware to mix it in and a few syringes to add flavours with.
