Just starting out

[espkh123]

Hey guys. I am getting a bunch of 0mg juice for free and have been adding nicotine to it.
This got me thinking that I should just start making my own juice and ocassionaly buy from my local shops to help support them!
I will be ordering a 120ml bottle of 25pg/75VG 100mg nicotine.

However, I have been thinking that maybe I should get a lot of good measuring equipment and more bottles since a lot of the ones I have use dropper caps which have been not screwing on all the way.
I found a flavor I REALLY want to make and it is a snake oil clone.
I looked on these forums a bit and I remember seeing a long time ago a sticky for beginners and equipment.
But it is not there anymore

What do you all recommend?

Also, I was looking over the flavoring percentages and realize it looks like the flavoring liquid is a bit obscure.
People mention vanilin - quince - etc and I don't know what they are talking about because I cant find a link to the exact flavoring they are using.

Welcome to diy. It's fun, a whole lot cheaper, and once you get some good recipes down, a whole lot better than vendor juices. I use and recommend small syringes for mixing. Also, great info in these blogs imo.

I think the 'top 10 flavors' thread is a good source of info as well. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...what-your-top-ten-flavors-4.html#post15493606

Good luck and happy vaping.

Thanks bud!
Trying to find a place that has the cheapest quality tools right now.
Thinking about picking around 3 flavors I want to clone and go from there to pick up flavors.
You have any idea what vanillin and quince are?

Those are a couple of TFA (The Flavor Apprentice) flavors. Bull City, RTS, Wizard Labs, and many more carry that line. I like Bull City because I'm usually wanting some Inawera and Hangsen in my order as well and I don't like to pay separate shipping.

With those tops, after you screw them on, you need to hold it tight for 10 secs and then let it go. If you notice when you screw it on and tighten it, when you let it go, it will unscrew slightly. Turn the cap about a quarter turn past and just hold it for 10 secs. and it will stay tight. Hope that helps that portion. As far as equipment, I just go to Shopko Pharmacy and purchase how ever many 1 ml blunt tip syringes that you have for flavoring. Also in the pharmacy, they have a 10 ml syringe with a plastic/rubber stopper that works good for MFS www.myfreedomsmokes.com 250 ML bottles for their unflavored Nic. They also have flavoring as well.

I would recommend downloading HotRod's calculator https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByHCyknRKMBCTjQ0d0pEWklsSnc&usp=sharing the file you want is the set-up 5.0.0.7.zip. That will make it easier to manage recipes flavors etc.
