Mixing my own

[Bubblenose]

Hi
I'm thinking of mixing my own and wondered if any one could tell me if its easy to do, and if it works out much cheaper? Also any good UK suppliers to buy accessories and Liquids
Regards
John

Cloud9vaping sell good flavour concentrates and everything needed to get started, although their nicotine liquid is not the cheapest.

i used to get nine from cig-eliquid but recently when ever i try and order it comes up with an error and takes 1.50 approx and don't get to order. something wrong with paypal on their site. really good mixing juice and at the right price.

I got my base liquid from cig-eliquid as well. The good thing about them is that they fill the bottle right to the brim, so you get value for money. My pg was bought from a UK vendor on ebay for £5.99 for 250ml, and you can get glycerin from Boots for £1.29.
All you have to do is find the flavours you like (cig-eliquid do a fantastic RY4) and I use the ejuice me up calculator (link here eJuice Me Up - Best eJuice Calculator ) for my mix ratios.
Once you start to get into it, it's gets pretty easy. Mix a batch up, let it steep for about a week or so and you're good to go

Once you do DIY and get the hang of it, you will not go back.

I get my nic from Totally Wicked not the cheapest but i wait for the yo-yo sale, i just bought 100ml of 72mg for £26.79p, I hit the yo-yo at 33%.

Make sure you mix 4 or 5ml for a start, then test the flavour - when your satisfied make up a larger quantity.

I have mentioned this before - you can get PG from Boots aswell, but you have to order it. VG is on the cough medicine counter.

Yes for ease consider TW I got mine from there - I don't steep just mix and use as I don't forward plan. Still tastes good and very easy to do. Just make sure you get a syringe for moving the liquid into your final container.

I got my first mixing kit from TW as well. I would agree about getting syringes as an addition to the kit.
Syringes measure more precisely.
If you use the dropper that's supplied with the TW mixing kit, you will see that you end up using more of the thicker liquids (like VG) as the drop sizes tend to be bigger, so you put more into the mix. Hope that makes sense

I got mine from TW as well, fell in love with their root beer flavour, I waited for the yo-yo sale and must of been on that page for hours waiting for the right price lol. it was easy to use and after getting a load of bottles from liberty flights and a syringe ( I got a 60ml syringe by accident, that thing is huge) i made it all straight away in a one man production line.

friend at work recommended TW to me a while back as we live in blackburn we can just nip in and have a chat. those guys are helpful

Postmodernsmoking are really cheap for supplies... it does work out quite cheap in the long run. I'd like to work it out though! I bet it's super cheap in comparison!x

I've actually worked out that each 10ml bottle of diy juice will cost me about £1.29 to make, I was bored earlier on so did the maths
So for me that's a big saving, I was paying £4.99 for pre-mixed that didn't have enough flavour before

eBay 1litre PG £4.70 delivered
eBay half litre VG £5 delivered

Careful with the PG, make sure its good pure stuff, Uk sourced EP or BP, Boots £19.99 for 2000ml.
Boots VG (Glycerine BP) £1.29 for 200ml. Not sure if i would trust eBay but thats just me.
