So let me see if I got this strait...
Basicly people just buy non flavored juice, in what ever %'s they want or stait up. Then they have to find somewhere to buy flavoring that they like. After that they just mix to their liking. Is that about right?

It sounds like it would be alot cheaper to go this was but is also sounds like a headache. How hard is it to find quality products and flavors that you like? I guess we are all in that boat....

Totally Wicked (TW) has Prarie Range (and other) concentrates - great price.
MyFreedomSmokes (MFS) has base nic in different strengths and pg/vg mix - insanely great price.
There are a handful of calculators out there to help you mix it up the the mg/ml you want.
I've been doing it now for months and will probably never go back to ready mix - I get 250ml of 18mg for $60!

hey jons... i've played "mad scientist" with Lorann's flavorings. you can order them online or if you're lucky, you have a candy maker's store in your town. i found a place where they sell all sorts of candy making supplies. yes, it is cheaper. yes, it is a bit more work. yes, it can be frustrating. mostly, it can be really fun when you come up with a really good blend. i enjoy saying to my buddies, "try this.... it's called XXXXX".
there are plenty of companies that sell DIY supplies for e-cigs. do the homework, try a few, and have fun!!!

Hey Jons,i got into DIY because it was better too stock-up with a non-flavoured liquid.It's cheaper for me being in the UK to import 50mg and DIY.As the others have said do your homework first.I'd rather buy a flavouring at £3 and not like it than pay £10 for a ready made.

Keep in mind...you should buy the nic strength of the non-flavored juice in a slightly higher % than what you want to end up with...the amount of flavoring you add is going to cut it a little bit.

Here's a simple calculator to play around with a little bit...I've heard that usually the % of flavoring you want to use would be 15-20. eJuice Recipe Calculator
Here's one that I found a little more useful, but it's a bit more complex: Zoho Sheet - Online Spreadsheets

We've got a whole DIY forum on here and I would strongly recommend heading over there and doing a lot of reading. It may save you some headache and costly mistakes in addition to tips on how to mix safely (both in handling the nicotine properly and what makes appropriate vape material).

Apart from the money you save, DIY mixing is absolutely the best way to get great flavors. Right now, I have around 30 flavors and I can mix them in any combination that takes my fancy. It's amazing what you can come up with.
