Im planning on buying all my DiY supplies today or tommorow . Hopefully i can get some nice deals on thanksgiving/black friday sales . My question is what vendors are having the best sales/prices on nic base and flavorings ?

I see highdesertecigs is having a black friday sales .I think they use RTS nic . Are they cheaper than elsewhere . I did check the deals and steals thread but having a hard time of finding whos the cheapest since i dont know vendors normal prices and coupon codes .

Also is xtremevaping having any BF sales ? One other thing is what size bottles of flavorings should i buy . What amount of juice can i make with say a 5ml or 10ml bottle of flavoring . ?or should i get the 30ml bottles ?

Need to know asap .Thanks in advance .

Cool move DIY even if you dont go 100% in you will be able to adjust juice you might not care for, Add more nic if u get the feeling. And or find your favorite all day vape. you never know... Google confectionery store in your area flavors are cheap by me in these type of stores with over 100 flavors..

http://www.diyflavorshack.com/default.asp where i purchased my starter kit. Then head over to 100 MG Flavorless Nicotine Liquid purchase you nic 100%vg and a bottle of pg.
Both have sales going on.

You are set for months above is just how i did it and only a recomendation.
I never used most items that came in my kit i have upgraded to a toolbox LOL i keep something to measure x2 something to mix x2 something pourx2 and bottles. O AND GLOVES if you go i would say above 30mg nic use gloves 100 burns a bit ummm scratch that use gloves at all times.. Something to keep it all clean..

How are DIy flavorshacks flavorings . I bought the stuff in my OP already . I got 60mg 120ml VG nic made by RTS . I was originally going to get the nic from xtremevaping but couldnt pass up on the sale from highdesert . Somehow their price of 11.99 for the nic i got is cheaper than RTS even but it made by RTS:confused:

I also have a bunch of other flavorings in my cart at ecigexpress since they have a lot of different flavoring Brands . SHould i buy the rest from ecigexpress or DIYflavorshack . I dont really need the free juice from DIYFS since i have too many juices as is so its up to who has the better flavorings ?

I also ordered stuff like Blue glass bottles , funnels, a 50ml graduated cylinder ,3ml pipettes ,syringes and needles and lots of different size dropper bottles . Nitrile gloves i already have 1000's since i work in automotive . Should i have gotten a glass graduated cylinder . Whats better about the glass use wise over plastic ? Also is 50ml big enough ? WHat else will i 100% need ? Like for example will i need beakers ,spoons or other lab stuff i didnt mention ?

Please let me know asap as i would like to get the best deals possible today and tomorrow .I will post a list of everything i got in a couple days .

Thanks for letting me know :). I saw the ecigexpress coupon thats why i added the stuff to my cart on the site . Ill chck out oSdiy too 5 for 6.00 sounds great . Now for the other questions ?

Actually i think im going to stick with ecigexpress since i want to get some flavorart flavors . Ecigexpress is 3.99(before discount )also free shipping for a 10ml and onestopdiy is 4.50 for a 6ml .

TheFlavorapprentice is not ThePerfumersapprentice right ? All the flavorings i got from highdesert are TPA .

Which flavoring brands do you recomend ?

I already got TPA . From ecigexpress i was going to get some flavorart ,some loranns naturals and a couple Tastypuff . Are theflavorapprentice better than those ?

Sorry for all the questions . Good thing is i will only need to ask once and then i shouldnt need to make a order for a looong time .

I just use pipettes, a dropper, and several sizes of syringes (easier for me without the needle) and the gloves to measure out the bigger ingredients. I don't have beakers, etc because I don't have a funnel small enough to get into the little bottles- :)maybe someone else knows. If I can make a suggestion, if your budget can afford it I'd invest in the Vape Wizard and Bitter Wizard- they saved several of my attempts.

Thanks . Already had vape wiz and bitter wiz in my cart . I read somewhere a while ago that those special things help so it was the first thing i added .

What do you use to measure and dilute large portions of nic ? Do you just keep the whole bottle undiluted and just take what you need in a dropper to make small bottles of juice ? I guess that may be the best way . I was thinking of diluting the whole bottle of nic into 3 seperate portions of vg/pg ratio 18mg and leaving a little undiluted nic that left over . If i did do it this way i think i would need a big graduated cylinder or something to mix it in .

I keep the nicotine in the bottle it came in or if larger amount I put into smaller glass jars amber or cobalt. I use the ejuicemeup calculator and make 30 ml bottles in my desired strength unflavored as I need them. Then I take my unflavored juice put 3-5 mls in the 5 ml bottles and try a flavor recipe within that small portion. If I like it I make a 30 ml bottle of it and let that sit a few days to steep. I always have a bottle of unflavored ready if I get a hankering to try a new flavor. I know alot of people recommend sampling a flavor in plain vg/pg but to me I can't destroy 3ml enough that me or my husband won't vape it or add it to another mixture. I like making 30 ml bottles so I am not playing with the nicotine juice too often. Its also easier to carry around than a bigger bottle.
