I havent gotten into DIY and have been paying $12 per 30 ml of juice. To me it is way cheaper than cigarettes so Im contemplating just keep buying. As a firearms enthusiast and hunter Ive never reloaded my rounds because it just isnt an activity I felt I had the time or patience for. I feel the same about DIY juice.
You and me both brother....you and me both.
I woke up and with the help of some recipies in the forums here, I made a REALLLY GREAT Rootbeer float........a ASpot on Butterfinger...Some nice Almond Joy........a Simple but tasty Vanilla Cupcake..... and copied a RED VS BLUE recipie.
I does cost me some money as I cant help myself to keep ordering flavors (over 120 at the moment).... but its nice to have on hand and ...YES...... I am saving money. And my family and friends get the benefit of my juice making.

Well,i vape 3 mil/day and if i had too pay $20 for 30 mil,this would be big bucks like 60 bucks/mo,it actually cost me 10 cents to make 3 mill at DIY.....3 bucks/month beats 60 bucks.AND it tastes better and i can adjust the flavour and nic anyway i want...DIY is the only way to go.
I've been there. There was a time when I DIY'd and was focused on vaping as cheaply as possible, there was a time when I only bought cheap juice, but now... I guess I'm just lazy. $17 a bottle for awesome tasting juice that I don't have to make just seems like an OK deal to me. To each their own.
Ive been DIY juice now for months and i CANNOT see myself paying 15/20 bucks for 30 ml of premixed juice now ever,it costs me pennies too make now,i would love to try other premixed but it hard too do.
I sometimes buy a premixed juice to see what all the hype is about but you are right. It's hard to spend so much when you can make something good for just pennies.
It's great to splurge and spend on premixed juices if you can afford it. For those on a budget or limited income DYI is a fantastic alternitive. There's really no wrong or right way when it comes to how you obtain your juices. If it works for you then do it.

HEY Thunderball - can I have your Butterfinger recipe? Mine doesn't quite get the butterscotch right. Pleeeeze?
Butter Finger Swirl (Borrowed from finnman1 and tweeked using all TFA Flavors.) This is spot on butterfinger...Heat, shake and vape...no steeping needed. ( isnt that weird?)
Caramel Original 8%
Peanut butter 6%
Cotton Candy 2%
Double chocolat clear 3%
Vanilla Swirl 1%
Sweetner 1%

I substituted Chocolate Glazed Donut for the Double Chocolate Clear. If you smell them side to side, the glazed donut just smells like the chocolate on a butterfinger. Even better than my milk chocolate. It's amazing fresh out of the bottle. I might switch the caramel and peanut butter though. Great recipe. Thanks!
For many, DIY is more of a hobby than a financial necessity. Compared to the prices for analogs you always come out ahead, even when buying hi-end premium brand liquids.
Perfectly fine if someone decides to stick with ready made juices out of convenience. There's lots vapers out there who just wanna vape with a minimum of fuss ( i.e. NOT rebuilding and NOT DIY-ing ).
And some enjoy the benefits of saving even more $$$ while pursuing their hobby.
Everyone's a winner
That's why BT and BP hate us

Been into DIY for awhile myself and I figure I might buy one or two premixed a yr now as a treat or for researching my own ideas. But usually I like what I make better than any stores mix.
This is what drove me to DIY...the cost savings was a secondary benefit....
The only pre-mixes I would consider now are some of the NET cigar flavors. Although, I'm recently experimenting with my own NET process, so even that will be a once in a very long while purchase.
I have been doing DIY e-liquid and it is like a hobby for me. I like it much better because I can adjust the flavor to where I like it. I was so surprised how easy it was.
I really don't care about the price to me it's flavor and vapor that counts....DIY for me all the way.

I agree OP. If I start getting the urge to try something new I find myself looking up flavorings and can't pull the trigger on actually buying juice. I just end up making something similar to the description, haha.
THANKS, Thunderball! I just mixed this today, and it's excellent Butterfinger - just what I was in the mood for
I usually dislike Caramel Original, but it works perfectly here. I really cannot handle Double Chocolate Clear though, so I took Kari's suggestion and used Capella Chocolate Glazed Donut. (Kari's right - it smells just like the "chocolate" outside of a Butterfinger). I'm using all VG base and thought I might need extra flavoring - NOPE. In fact, it's still YUM with just half the flavoring (yay for me, 'cause I'm trying to minimize PG now, and these are all PG flavorings). So thanks again!
