HAHAHAHA!!! this is too funny.

Anyhow make your own juice you'll be much happier than dealing with angry vape store people plus you'll save money. ;)

I just started making my own and I do it right here on the desk no problems at all its actually much fun.

You just have to be careful not to spill stuff mostly.....lol! wash your hands after and during if needed and clean your mixing equipment.

So far I just use the big syringe to get the VG/PG/Nic Base and the dropper for mixing flavor and put it all in the bottle I am using for it.

I am sure you could get real serious and technical about it....but I dont see why you have to at all really.

Was in my local vape shop today picking up some juice, have not gotten a chance to order all my DIY stuff yet. So I mentioned that I was planning on making my own juice soon and was rather surprised when the girl that I have hung out and gotten a lot of tips on building coils and what not kind of went off the handle. She started lecturing me on how she has an associates degree in chemistry and if you make your juice in anything other than a clean room all of the particles in the air will get into your juice and inhaling it could be extremely dangerous, and a host of other issues. Now I can understand a customer making their own juice loses income for them but I was rather amused by her reasoning. The particles in the air (that you are breathing while making your liquid) are going to get in the juice and destroy your lungs. So question would be, do any of the however many DIY juice people on here actually make their juice in a clean room, or ever worry about this? Or am I about on track with the, they don't want to lose juice sales thoughts?

Ha,Ha,Ha

Have you gone into a B&M lately. I don't see them mixing in a clean room. What nonsence.

Yeah, I was telling one of our b&m here in town about it and they actually gave me about 16 diff flavors to try out. He said that they tried for about 2 months and gave up on it. Only request was if I got a good tasting e-liquid to stop by and let him try it out......Guess they didn't have the patience for it, also not know of this site. I mix mine right here in front of the computer so I have my calculator (eJuice Me Up) right in front of me. Mix away I say especially if its just for your personal use. :vapor:

OMG Paul's blog is awesome. Not sure I will use that method but that was certainly a great read. Growing up in the country definitely learned that you never underestimate redneck ingenuity.


While your doing some research here is some more great reading.

Read my blogs before getting started

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

then read hoosier's blogs.

E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

I have an associates degree in a science, so they do exist.

Not that my job actually uses that degree, but it opened the door enough for me to get a job in what I have ended up doing for a living.

But I don't put any weight into degrees in anything. I've had enough interactions with idiots who have PhD's to know that degrees don't mean a whole lot when it comes to competence, but do mean something to pay-scale and job opportunities. The lesson is, if you're a blithering idiot, get a great degree and companies will fall all over themselves to pay you a good wage to screw everything up and cost them huge sums of money.

I can't stand when a seller tells BS just so they keep your business. I would be more likely to be a repeat customer with a vendor who is honest. A local vendor charged me $25 for an RBA that I know they later spent $5 or less for. I never went back. And they didn't even flat out lie to me like these people did. I work hard for my money.

Question is will you go back to that store if so why? I have stopped at a lot of B&M stores. If they lie to me I tell them right off the bat and let them know I nor any of my friends will shop there again. One store I stopped at looking for bvc coils as I was waiting for my vape mail, The owner tells me nobody likes Aspire and I am wasting my time. I told him he leads a very sheltered life and needs to get out more. As I was walking out he said in a loud voice see you again. I stopped turned around and just as loud of voice said No you won't and now I know why your never busy. Not the same as the op but makes you go huh as you walk out.
