Inexpensive DIY Starter Kit?

[GtrSoloist]

Hey everyone!

Would you be kind enough to point me in the direction of a good, inexpensive DIY starter kit, or perhaps a breakdown of what I need to get started?

I would really like to try my hand at DIY, but am kind of poor and not really employed at the moment.

I used to make all natural incense using essential oils and other natural products that everyone just loved. (I thought about doing it professionally for a while, but for the fact I used tobacco in several of the recipes.)

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Natural incense? sounds cool...how do you do that?


Oh ya and mini starter kit....must haves IMO
VG/PG.....can get a lot of different places walmart pharmacy is the quickest and cheapest
Unflavored NIC........try FMS or extremevaping
Bottles.....small 3 or 6ml bottles
needles/syringe........foster and smith has them for pretty cheap look around for codes before buying
and Flavoring....cheapest per ml is FF but you have to by it 2oz at a time. PA is a pretty good option as you can get smaller samples.
Gloves.......(idk where to get had friend nab me a box)

DIYshack has starter kits...I got one and havnt used a lot of the stuff included...or it wasnt enough of a supply and the box it'sself is really cheaply made.

Try and look at one stop DIY shop.. pretty good prices there and there are starter kits. Also keep an eye out on the DIY PIF thread here too.

@UntamedRose: It's not really too difficult. I used to use mainly dried woods or plants / flower and add resins (like frankincense and myrrh) and / or essential oils as needed. Ground and mix, then let dry to the right consistency. I didn't make self-combustible incense, rather I instructed people to use salt peter blocks as a heat source.

Okay cool, thanks for the list and the suppliers.

@zbasspro: Thanks for the tips I will go look and see what kits they have there. I can't really get into the DIY PIF because I don't have any supplies yet, but I can't wait until I do.

Best gloves I've found are "Black Widow" tattooing gloves. You should be able to get them at any shop that sells pro-grade tattooing supplies.

DYI Flavorshack has DYI kits available.

I bought all of my stuff individually though.

I got my Propylene Glycol from here

I bought my vegetable glycerin at WalMart, but you can get it here also. I've ordered supplements from them many times in the past. They are very reputable.

I got my bottles and beakers from US Plastic.

I got my pipettes from ebay.

Lastly, I got a syringe without a needle from WalMart.
