My 2019 vape plans. Comments/Advice?

[ThrashNeon]

Okay, I told my vape story in another thread, which sadly didn't end well in 2009.
However, going forward, I'm pretty optimistic and really excited about jumping back into it.

I expect to be receiving my Aegis Legend Kit next week.
The kit comes with the Aeromesh tank, 2 glass, 2 coils, etc.
With the Legend Kit, I'm also getting:
Geek Vape Super Mesh Coils (x5)
LUC v4 LCD Smart Charger
Coil Master DIY Kit v3
Digiflavor Siren GTA (MTL) 25mm tank - was clearance so I can mess around with RTA if I want. Don't know how much I will, but options r gud.

^^^^ The cost of everything < 2 cartons of smokes.

Back in the day, I dabbled just a bit with DIY - got a kit from Johnson's Creek (Pepperidge Fahms remembahs ), as well as a bunch of LorAnn's flavorings, etc. I was mixing and dipping/dripping using 36mg nic.
So I plan on expanding a bit there. I do need to get a scale.

The Nic River DIY starter kit is begging me to buy it, but trying to choose 15 flavors and nic formulation/strength is gonna take me probly a week. lol.

After ordering the kit, I found that there are 4 vape shops within a 45 min drive, so this should REALLY help (no more waiting for slow boats from China). I called two of them, and once I told them about the kit and that I wasn't exactly a n00b, they were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They both said they would mail me supplies if I wanted. One has their own line of juices that sounds awesome.

So... I think I should be just about set... though I'd like a decent device that I can drip to taste test my juice. Recommendations?

Are there any glaring holes or mistakes in my plan?

Thanks!

Sounds okay to me. If any of them will let you taste test juices (IDK where you are and the laws are like) that might be worth a trip in.. Otherwise, I guess buy in small 'tester" sizes until you figure out what you like, etc.

Thanx Anna! For juice, as I mentioned, I'm looking at the DIY kit with 15 flavors for making my own. Ideally I don't want to be settling on (and paying for) premium juices - but I'll definitely grab some samples at the shops.

In search of my ADV, to start with, I'd like to get a nice camel/turkish tobacco recipe and eventually mix my own... and a Dr. Pepper recipe. I've been bookmarking recipes to try once I get all set up.

Definitely get a scale for your diy ejuice. Saves you having to get syringes and I find it more accurate. You want one that will go as low as 0.01g and a higher automatic shutoff time.

As for an RDA - it depends on whether you prefer mtl or DL. I use a hadaly clone RDA for restricted lung hit

Advice.. For soda vapes add champagne concentrate with whatever soda concentrate you are using in your diy mix to give it a fizz effect

I'd plan to get more exercise, try to eat and drink less, and do not use maraschino cherry in a recipe in the near future.

Otherwise, you're good .

Happy New Year!

I started DIY the way you suggest.
Still have two tackle boxes full of flavors.
Eventually I decided to stop chasing recipes and narrowed my interest down to 3 recipes with another one optional.
Cost is one reason, future availability the second.
I did not want to spread myself too thin.
I think I am now set for 15 years or so.
That's just me, do what you think is right for you.

Yep, that's really my goal.
TBH, I wouldn't mind ending up at unflavored juice/straight VG.
