DIY vs eJuice Who Does Both?

[MoonLit_Water]

I'm just wondering of all the folks who DIY, how many also purchase pre-made liquid? Once You start DIY-ing, do you still buy pre-made or go exclusively with Your own juice? Just wondering because I plan on starting in on DIY but I'm thinking I will still buy some pre-mades. So just wanted to know what others are doing.

I do both. I mostly DIY, but that doesn't stop me from also buying when I see something interesting.

Same. I have a liter of nicotine for DIY, but anytime I see a B&M store I have an incredible compulsion to buy AT LEAST 40$ worth of their liquid.

lol I can't help myself. It must be an unconscious internal urge from my earlier days of vaping when I wanted to get my hands on as many different flavors as possible.

mostly DIY but I still get some so I can be lazy. i only make 10ml at a time with syringes so basically when I'm sick of 1 flavor I need to make another one if I want another one lol. Its like making a different flavor milk shake every time your thirsty. so buying some bottles of premade liquids makes you life a easier if your not going to DIY in large quantities. I suck at math and I still haven't learned my DIY fractions as well as I should. So I just follow recipes with my syringes. If your gonna make bigger batches then eventually you probably wont need to buy any premades. You'll love your own. I never even tried key lime pre made juice and now its all i vape. I make it every two days or so.

I DIY the majority of my juice, but I do have four vendors that each have one or two juices that I really like that I haven't duplicated so I do occasionally purchase their juices.

Okay, thanks for the responses, My job takes me out on the road (up and down the east coast, usually from the Carolina's and north). So I will now be defiantly looking for B&M's while I am out on the road, while taking My DIY's with me. Might not be so practical lugging around a DIY lab along with all the other work equipment and personal luggage.

I do both. I'm pretty much a novice at DIY but there are a couple good ones I made. I'll buy complex flavors from vendors if they sound good and have good reviews. I don't buy single flavors much anymore. I ended up mixing most of them together which is why I wanted to DIY in the first place.

I haven't bought any juice from a vendor since I started mixing my own

 

[Centurion]

I transitioned. I was afraid of messing up mixing them myself so I started with just a big jug of VG and of PG and used that to cut down some juices I had, then to try adding a few drops of flavor to keep the taste level up as I reduced the nic level. Then bought flavors from several different places, now looking to get some of the flavor modifiers folks use in small doses to tweak the flavor profile. About three of those tiny bottles and some nice big bottles of organic flavorings I quite like and I'll be set.

I started with vendor juice....Found I love Vaping...so,
Then, my hoarding behaviour kicked in- bought ALOT of vendor juice.

Because I live seven miles from any town, and there is not a vape store for 100s of miles-
(i don't even know where !) I can't run out of anything and...
I have a natural affinity to DIY anything- bought ALOT of DIY stuff.

Now- I have a years worth of juice and DIY....I just need to Vape through it all.

I almost never buy pre-made juice anymore. But, every once in a while something catches my interest, like Zombie Blood and Zombie Brains. Who could resist that?

 

[mostlyclassics]

I do both. I have some simple DIY recipes which I can trust myself to make consistently. But I buy lots of "artisanal" flavors, like some of Mt. Baker "signature" flavors, e-liquids I couldn't possibly reverse engineer.

 

[Plumes.91]

You gotta keep around 30ml bottles of all your favorite vendor's specialties.
Like I have no idea how to make blue raspberry candy flavored e-juice. So I try to get that.
And when I DIY, I usually buy flavor concentrates. So like, I buy key lime pie flavoring.
I don't actually mix keys and limes together or whatever hardcore DIYers do lol.
So until you have all your recipes straitened out for your favorite flavors..
There is always gonna be juice that a vendor makes that you cant. at 1st at least.

[MoonLit_Water]

Thanks Dark for that info i'll check it out, and compile it with all the other info i've read and watched about it.

Moved to DIY E-Liquid

 

[Hoosier]

I haven't purchased any premixed juice in over 2 years. I'll sample vendor juices, but I prefer my own.

 

[hairball]

I buy a few from vendors that I can't replicate but other than those few, I DIY everything.

 

[jimmyh]

I will buy every once in a while. For the most part I'll stick with my 4 juices I make. There is a new b&m opening by me that lets you sample their juice first so I will go and check them out and buy some premade from them.

 

[my4jewels]

100% diy for me.
