Hello all

[oisn]

Totally new to forum.
Been vaping 1 years to quit tobacco. Concerned about regulations on the industry. Also could use advice about DIY liquid, where to buy online and what I need.

Hello and welcome to the forum @oisn. Glad to have you here!

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. Below is the information I often give to members new to DIY.

• Dannyv45's blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice. => dannyv45 - Blogs
• Hoosier's blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives. =>Hoosier - Blogs

For a juice mixing calculator consider using eJuiceMeUp and video tutorial on using it (if you are mixing by volume).

• If you are interested in mixing by weight (vs volume) here are a couple of great videos
  1. How to Use an eJuice Calculator and Mix with a Scale
  2. Mixing by Weight (a DIY Tutorial)

Hi and welcome. As Susan suggests, check out the DIY Forum. FWIW, I buy my nic at MFS, my flavors at TFA, and bases wherever it is convenient.

Hallo,welcome and glad you joined.

Concerned about regulations on the industry

My favorite post, this could help ease your concerns, it does for me:
Vaping Bans
DIY recommendations:
1. Try to choose several published recipes which you might think you would like.
2. Buy only what you need for those recipes.
3. Play/Adjust with those recipes with %'s/flavors (may need to buy additional. flavors) until you perfect/get the most out of them.
