I'm thinking about starting to make my own e-liquid. I've read thru a bunch of the threads in here. Been to a bunch of the sites mentioned but still a little confused and overwhelmed.

Right now I'm vaping 12Mg 50Pg/50Vg juice. I was looking at the One Stop DIY Shops Artisan's Apprentice Kit. If I got the e-liquid in 100%Pg should I get the dilution base in Vg ? or forget the kit and just buy the stuff from someplace like RTS Vapes or Wizard Labs.

Like I said I'm a little confused and overwhelmed. Someone please help this newb out.

I don't know...

I know your target nicotine strength and your target PG/VG ratio... Oh, yeah, I know your nicotine is suspended in PG.

Remember your PG is all your PG liquids, so include your flavoring when you calculate the ratio. Same with VG.

PG flavorings are the most common. VG flavorings are uncommon. Alcohol flavorings don't really factor into the PG/VG ratio, but they tend to be more thinning than PG flavorings, but also usually require less.

So, what nicotine strength are you starting with?

(I don't have an opinion on where you buy your stuff really.)

Just get the essentials until you find out if DIY is for you.

20, 10, 5 & 3 ml syringes with 16 g blunt needle
6, 15 & 30 ml bottle
1 ml Eyedropper
Ejuicemeup Calculator
You can buy already mixed nic base in your chosen nic level
Flavor concentrates needed for the flavor juice you want to make plus :

Vanilla
Honey
Caramel
AP ( Acetyl Pyrazine )
Ethyl Maltol or Sweetener
If you are into tobacco flavors get a small bottle of TA ( Tobacco Absolute ) &
some ACV ( Apple Cider Vinegar )
Lemon Juice

Press the 3 next to Blog Entries in Hoosiers signature.

That's all you'll need to begin.

:)

The best place to start is with a little reading.

Read my blogs before getting started

then read hoosier's blogs.

E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.
