If I were to venture into mixing my own...

Has anyone tried the Decadent Vapours Mixing Kits? I don't like the fact that you get their own selection of flavours in the Connoisseur kits but for a total noob like me that would probably make my introduction to mixing a little bit easier. I wouldn't have a clue how much nicotine to add to the mix etc and the kits kind of simplify that. It seems to make juice infinitely cheaper - about 20p per ml if my calculations are correct.

Any thoughts?

Vaping mixing kit, mix your own e-juice, Diluent, nicotine, superb flavouring.

That sounds quite expensive for what it is to be fair.

The most expensive components in mixing are the flavours and nicotine. Flavours generally cost £3 per bottle and I recently picked up 1 litre of 7.2% nic for £72.

Diluent is very cheap, you'll need some food or pharmaceutical grade Glycerine and propylene glycol which costs around £8 per 1l. Pipettes, measuring beakers etc. and HDPE bottles can be got from ebay for very little money.

For flavours I would recommend flavour art as they are quite strong, go a long way and generally are very nice. My personal favourite range is mom and pops flavourings, not quite as economical as flavour art but very yummy!

I'm not a fan of DIY starter kits. They're far more expensive than just buying what you need. Its a great idea on paper, but.... Meh.

If you like vanilla custard....buy a big bottle of Capella vanilla custard flavoring, a bottle of TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and a bottle of TFA cotton candy. Mix it at 13% CVC, 3% vbic and 1% cc.
Now all you need is nic and VG. Some empty bottles and a few syringes.

You can get larger quantities for less $ buying separate and you only pay for what you need.

The DIY forums are a great start.

I like Decadent Vapours. A lot.

Some great flavour concentrates and nice people too.

But, kits can sometimes be a bit silly and Decadent are expensive for Nicotine and Dilutent liquids.

I don't use a kit... I just mix 10ml/30ml bottles into used (washed) bottles using a 2, 5 & 10 ml syringe.

My 3 top flavours are all from Decadent. I buy the flavour concentrates from them but everything else comes from LT e-cigs.

As ever, your worry will be the P&P (shipping) costs.

LT do some good flavours, but nothing beats Decadent Lime Zinger, Caramel and Coconut...

(not all together at once.. )


Oh... Postmodern are quite good too.

Thanks all for your input. Is it usually a problem importing nicotine into a different country. I wouldn't want to land myself in trouble.

i would go through wizard labs or the flavor apprentice for your flavors. the nic can be expensive, but if you buy in bulk its not bad. just make sure you don't buy anything mixed above 100mg for a base, otherwise it's pretty dangerous to handle.
