New to DIY, check out my first order please

[NolaMel]

I am so nervous! Not because my wife is going to kill me but it's my first order for DIY ejuice stuff!

I am ordering from Wizard Labs and so far have:

500ml 12mg Nic in PG base
1000ml PG
1000ml VG
Bottles
Syringes with blunt tip needles
Various flavors

It's almost $100 and about all I can afford right now what do you think?

Come join the crew over on the Random diy thread. I couldn’t have gotten started and been as successful without their advice, recipes, etc. Great place to bounce ideas off each other!

Who is cheaper? I have been reading everything I can find but don't see any sales going on.

River Supply has free shipping over 50.00 but has no standing coupon codes. Liquid Nicotine Wholesaler doesn't offer free ship but has a standing 15% off code, ELRECIPES. Bull City Flavors has a standing code 6% off, VU6. Both codes are good site wide. At BCF if you spend 49.99 you can use the code freeship instead of the VU6 code.

edit to fix LNW code

I buy my pg,vg and nic from lnw .
code:ELRECIPES for 15% off.

I've started buying vg from RS, just order enough to get free shipping.

Banana, mango, cactus, cream brulee, RY-4, wild strawberry, watermelon.

What brands?

 

[dennism]

Nice!

Maybe, but still way cheaper than pre-made juice.

My point was not if it's cheaper than pre-made, that's a given.
I was just trying to point out that there are many places with better prices than wizard labs.

Sounds like The idiom "six of one, half a dozen of the other"

Just like anything else. Do a bit of math to get the best deal when on a tight budget. I prefer the salts from LNW and their cs is great but if RS has 40% off and free ship I'll order from RS that particular time. Have both in my freezer.

While no current discounts (that I know of!), Heartland's "house" nic is relatively inexpensive, and good.

Nicotine Solution - 100mg Liter

 

[Coyote628]

River Supply has very good prices on nic, VG and PG. Bull City Flavors is great for flavor concentrates.
There are a couple other good ones for nic (others will chime in) I like RS because they are right here in CA.

I use river supply for DIY. But I get my nic in PG base. I buy VG at Walmart. The only PG I use is in the nic base and flavorings. Add those together first and top off with VG. I never measure the glycerin.

 

[DLKnives]

What brands?

All were Inawera.

I have not ordered anything yet since it won't ship until at least Monday so I'll look around.

Thanks everyone!

 

[Coyote628]

I would step up the nic level in the base and get it in PG.

Yes I am getting 100mg nic in PG. Just don't know from where yet.

 

[DLKnives]

Reduce the vg & pg and order 100mg nic. What ratio vg/pg do you use?

Just saw this, not sure what is best for me. Probably 70/30.

 

[DLKnives]

I changed my order to 500ml 250mg nic, got 500ml each PG an VG and can get it all from RS (with bottles, syringes and flavors) for the same $100. Nice. Thank you all for the great advice!

 

[Letitia]

70 vg or pg? If it's 70vg the you will use very little pg since your flavors and nic will make up most of your pg content in the mix.

 

[Letitia]

Actually you could go the cheaper route and try distilled water instead of pg, that's what I do.

I did not know you could do that!

 

[Letitia]

I did not know you could do that!

If you aren't interested in a strong th it works well. I mix my bases with 6-8% dw, nic, and vg. My only pg comes from flavors and nic.

 

[vaper1960]

I buy VG at Walmart.

Sometimes I do that too but it still costs more (I do it to save shipping but not really saving much... yes, it is USP pure and all but prices have gone up... paid $7 at Rite-Aide for a small bottle)

 

[DLKnives]

Where is it at in Walmart?
