Looking to start DIY E-liquid and looking for some info

[Justin Proctor]

First off thanks for reading i've made quite a few posts in my first few days here but im just trying to get my head around all this....So thanks for helping the new guy

So looking to start mixing my own as its cheaper and ofc you can make your own flavours

Im a bit confused by the results i got using a calculator for making e-liquids

ingredient	ml	% of total
PG or VG with nicotine	10.0 ml	33.3%
PG or VG (no nicotine)	14.0 ml	46.7%
Water	0.0 ml	0.0%
Flavoring(s)	6.0 ml	20.0%

Does this graph above mean that nicotine already comes watered down with pg or vg so i would be using 10ml of my diluted nicotine and then the 14ml is for my regular PG or VG ? Also is it better to buy PG or VG base....I like a good bit of vapor so would i be using a 70/30 PG/VG mix to get that ? So would it make more sense to buy the nicotine with PG and then mix in my 30% VG to make the right formulation ?

Second question - im from the UK and after looking around for the best prices im seeing massive differences in price. The sites ive looked at especially the cheap ones seem to come with a report on what you buying with graphs showing all elements and percentages of whats in it. As well as some sort of confirmation that the nicotine has been tested and approved by someone. In this case does it matter how cheap it is ? If its all been confirmed then surely going for the cheaper option would be better ?

Planning on starting off buying 100ml of nicotine and 100ml of either VG/PG, several flavors and syringes etc. Is this all i need to start making my own ?

Finally where do you people buy your e-liquid. Could do with somewhere that has free global shipping or a supplier based in the EU/UK. Im going through far more e-liquid than i expected.... I was expecting a 30ml to last me at least a week but not looking like its gonna last For this reason making my own has sprung to mind.

If anyone could give me a website to buy the ingredients and an example of price per 30ml bottle they produce that would be excellent. Just trying to work out how much cheaper it will be to produce my own In other words is it worth the hastle I imagine myself sitting at the table mixing my ingredients like a mad scientist

Also if anyone could tell me how to add a signature to my posts would appreciate it. I wat to get one of those addons that tell you how many days since quitting etc.

As always thanks for the advice and feedback. Really makes a difference without you guys i may not have taken to the leap to give up

Nicotine come is various strengths, the calculator should have had a spot to enter the strength you have.. and the strength you want to end up with. And it normally comes in PG, VG or a combination, depending where you buy it and the options you choose. As you didn't state what mg Nic you have (or are ordering), can't really tell you if the chart is actuate.
