DIY Noob Help Pretty Please!

[ClayTaylorNC]

Hello all. I have been vaping custards 98% for a couple years now and decided to try a different route. I have heard the GVC diy is spot on with the real thing and would absolutely love to make a 100ml bottle for myself. Here's my question. There is a ton of info out there so I am getting pretty confused. Can someone explain exactly what to get and where to get it? I know for the recipe I want, I need Capelas and DLD. But how many Ml's of each would I need? Also, which Pg/Vg bottles do I get ( I would like somewhere around 70vg/30pg if possible), and how much would I need for that amount? Also I should say that I would like a 6mg nic finished product. If someone could jot thing in layman terms (with links would be amazing) I would greatly greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Here's how I approached DIY to make things simple. Start with a 10ml bottle to minimize waste of trial and error but also for simple math. Get your Nic in vg sense you want more vg in your liquid. Get a few 1ml syringes and a 5ml or a couple 5ml if you are picky about pg/vg/nic mixing before their time, to each their own. You want 70/30 finished so start by adding your nic. Let's say you buy 24mg nic, you can buy what ever but I suggest keeping it below 36 until you are comfortable. 100mg is cheaper when you look at nic/price BUT 100mg is dangerous and cutting it down can be tedious work. Anyways so 24mg nic is your base that means you'll need 2.5 ml of your base for a 10ml finish at 6mg. 6mgx10ml = 60, 2.5x 24=60. if your math skills are fuzzy take your goal of 60mg in a 10ml bottle and divide by your nic base strength. So you've got 2.5ml of base in your 10ml bottle, that base is mostly VG and you can count it as such. A 70/30 mix would be 7.0 ml of Vg. 7-2.5= 4.5 which is how much Vg you need to add. Next add your flavoring for custards and creams being a mild flavor I would start around 1ml of flavoring. That being said I have never used those particular ones you mentioned so the amount there is only a guess. Top of your DIY with PG till full. Flavoring tend to be PG based so I place flavorings on the PG side of my equations, shake well and begin whatever steeping ritual you deem appropriate. I've only used wizard labs for DIY supplies, others can chime in better on other options. Good luck and I hope my long winded answer helps.

This is what I done last week.

I took 7 mils of PG and put it into a 10 mil bottle
I took 3 mils of VG and put it into the 10 mil bottle.
I took 10 drops of Loranns Anise flavor from Wal Mart and put into the bottle.
I just skipped the Nicotine altogether.
Shook it up and was ready to vape and enjoy immediately.

This plan is not very scientific or professional but it just works for me.

Thank you all for your help. I now have everything i need. I got:

50Vg-50PG 24mg Nic
Vg
Pg
Capellas and DLD
Along with all of the needed measurment pipettes, a 50ml grad cylinder, and gloves/glasses

Could someone please explain to me what the recipe would be if I wanted to make a 50ml bottle of 70vg/30pg at 6mg nicotine. I have heard 15% Capellas to 2% DLD is a Grants Vanilla Custard clone, so am sure (hoping) I will like it if I do it right. I would greatly appreciate it. Once i get the one mix complete I will have a much better understanding of everything. Thanks in advance!
