Hi @john r and welcome to the world of DIY. Reading is the best advice I can give first. I would suggest looking for recipes at a couple sites and see if you can find some recipes you would like to make and make a list of the ingredients and manufacturers. Different manufacturers CANNOT be substituted (for example TFA Strawberry for FA Strawberry). This way you will have on hand what you need to make what you want.

4 basic parts to DIY - VG (vegetable glycerin), PG (propylene glycol), Nicotine, Flavoring. I'd suggest looking at some you tubes to actually see some juice being made.

You'll use 3 or 4 times the amount of vg as pg because most flavors are in a pg base so it raises the pg level in diy when you add flavors.

Good luck.

John !.

These are all in the UK, well, apart from the dropper bottles.

Here for 72mg nicotine base liquid. The UK's legal maximum for nicotine liquid is 72mg.
7.2% Nicotine (VG Base)
This is Vegetable Glycerine.
Best use this to keep the finished liquid reasonably thick.


But there again if you need it to be thinner get some Propylene Glycol nicotine base liquid. Here :
7.2% Nicotine (PG Base)

Here's some Vegetable Glycerine base/cutting liquid. Used to make the bulk of you e-liquid.
5 LITRE VEGETABLE GLYCERINE EP/USP FOOD/COSMETIC GRADE

And here's some Propylene Glycol base/cutting liquid if you prefer thinner e-liquid.
5 LITRES MPG Propylene Glycol USP/EP GRADE

Here's a page full of e liquid flavourings. Cheapest you'll find on the internet.

And here's a place to buy some dropper bottles. These ones have a long plastic tip which make it easier to refill your tanks without having to use anything else such as a syringe. Ships from Hong Kong and takes about two weeks. I couldn't find anywhere local that sells these types of long tip bottles and i searched for ages. Trust me they are a lot more practical than any other type.

You're going to need some syringes and some blunt needles. Look here :
2ml 5ml 10ml 20ml Syringes Blunt Needles Refill INK Shisha Juice Vapes Glue | eBay


The nicotine base is 72mg so a quarter of that is 18mg. So using 5ml of that equates to 18mg when you finish making the 20ml of e-liquid. Easy right !?. If you're cutting 72mg nicotine base liquid down to 18mg all you need to do is make sure the nicotine base liquid is a quarter of the total volume of the finished liquid you are making.

So to make 20ml of e-liquid with for example 18mg of nicotine.

5ml of VG nicotine base liquid.
13ml of VG cutting liquid.
2ml of flavouring.

Shake for a few minutes and your done.

That's how i like it. That's 90% VG / 10% PG. The flavouring is PG based.

If you do need it thinner you could use a lot more flavouring if you wanted or use the Propylene Glycol nicotine base and cutting liquids instead of VG. Propylene Glycol is thin like water. Vegetable Glycerine is much thicker. I don't know how thick you need it but some people like it much thinner.
