DIY noob ?'s

[RialCeLmiT]

Soo I've been playing with these guys for awhile...I been procrastinating on making my own liquid and such for awhile but I think it's time I do it...I'm sick of buying flavors I don't like, and it seems cheaper and even fun...But I don't know where to start, I've been lurking this forawhile and can't find anything...Can someone give me the run down on how to begin what to get how to go about it and where to get what I need to begin?

With a bit of effort, you could find out where to get everything you need. Here are some of the websites I have used. There is a neverending list.

If you want to get lots of stuff at one place, go to One Stop DIY Shop.

Perfumer's Apprentice has very good flavors. You can get them at the shop above, or go to Perfumer's Apprentice. You can also see reviews on the flavors.

Another good website for flavors is Drinks For Diabetics | Homeopathic HCG Drops | Flavor Drops. Right now they have a "buy 6, pay for 4" sale.

Of course, Lorann flavors are always popular. Good prices here: Bettys Country Grocery - Product Catalog

You can usually get some syringes at a pharmacy pretty inexpensively.

Right now, Myfreedomsmokes is having a 40% off sale on unflavored nic liquid. Our Unflavored Smoke Juice (Nic. Juice, Nicotine Juice) - My Freedom Smokes. (Please take precautions if you cut down anything really high strength)

I got a nice little set of graduated cylinders on ebay.

That's a start. I also pick up a few things here and there whenever I order something else. A lot of our suppliers also carry diy stuff.

It's also worth noting that Gourmet Vapor is having a 50% sale till July 4th with the coupon code giveme50. That means 250ml of 48mg PG nicotine from Box Elder for 20 bucks or so, plus 8-9 bucks for an equal amount of VG from the hippie grocery, and you have 500ml 24mg unflavored base for 30 bucks.

Flavorings are cheap, and you now have 500ml of canvas to create on. Rock and roll.

Aww darnit I just bought 125 ml of 48 mg nic juice for $22 with S+H. I could have gotten twice that amount if I had known about that sale.

Pure Vapes is a great place to check out FlavourArt flavors. $1.50-$2.00 for 3ml bottles.

You need:

1) Unflavoured Nicotine (to start with 100ml is fine)
2) Plain PG
3) Plain VG
4) Flavours (get around 5 - 6 different ones)
5) Syringes (get different sizes)
6) Empty bottles (around 10 - 15 empty bottles)
7) Calculator to calculate amounts required

Links to all the above have been provided in the 2nd post

mixing calculator, ejuiceme up is great because it allows you to create juice at your required strength i.e. 50/50 or 60/40 or 70/30 or whatever

Great calculator

get your stuff and then comeback for more

goodluck
