Actually, I just had one heck of a beginners luck. I just made 10ML of a 50/50 mix. It was 10 drops of coffee, 10 of cappuccino, 7 bavarian cream, 10 caramel candy and 7 sweet cream. It is awesome, all bottled up and 24MG.

I am going to go through some heavy failures, but at least I can vape this while messing up. :D

Good job :)

Key is being thorough in keeping notes, building your own cookbook.

A small label maker, like a brother ptouch, can be handy for marking bottles.

Us plastics is a good bottle source, their boston round dropper bottles. Shipping is a flat $5 for up to $20 or $25 total order (i forget which).

I just made another mix. It is awesome! One of the best I've ever tasted. It is a 10ML mix. 50/50.

15 drops of Double Chocolate, 15 English Toffee, 15 Caramel Candy, 8 Cream and 8 Sweet cream. Wow. I think you could go 25 Double Chocolate and still have an amazing mix. But, this is fantastic!

I picked up the Artisan Master kit at One Stop DIY Shop

I really liked it because being a total novice, i wasn't 100% sure what i'd need to get started, and I knew i'd be irritated if I got my stuff, realized i forgot something essential, and had to order and wait again. This thing had everything, truly. And at $36 for all the plasticware, bottles, measuring devices, a starter quantity of nic eliquid and pg or vg of your choice, plus 8 flavors, it was the perfect way for me to get started. I supplemented my first order with a slew of other flavors, as well as some more of their GORGEOUS cobalt blue glass bottles and the Boston Round bottles with dropper top (by far the coolest nicest looking best quality plastic bottles I've ever used), but you really could get started just with the kit. Not too shabby. An intro to diy with everything you need for cost of about 2 oz of premade gourmet juice. ;)

Sounds like a deal to me and the best thing is your HAPPY :)

Yeah, it was a good way to get started. Definitely makes sense to buy additional tools and stuff in bulk, and SO much cheaper to buy liquid in bulk, but was a good way to try it out.

BTW, you're like uber diy guy... do you have a suggestion for bulk place to get a THIN pure VG? RTS is back to really thick, and don't want to order a slew of the stuff from one of the other bulk guys only to find its that very thick stuff. I vape 100% VG, so I'd have to really add a bunch of distilled water or PGA to get it to a workable consistency with that thick stuff. Ever encountered a pure thin VG you'd recommend?

I got mine from E-Juice USA E-juice USA a gallon for $260. I can send you some to see if you like it. I tend to really like it and with PG being $24 a gallon it's like super cheap to make a thin blend. PM me with your address and I will send some to try :)

I have to admit, the kit is good enough to get you addicted to mixing. Not that it is a bad thing. I really like mine.
