I havent even started making my own juices yet i plan on starting very soon, so i figured this would be. Great place to ask a few questions about it instead of scowering the internet desperately. First of all i think i will make 60 ml bottles when i start. So what types of supplies would i need for mixing stuff at faster rates than dripping the liquids together, second i want to make 90/10 vg pg juice is there pre mixed gallons of it i could buy, and where should i buy pg or vg i am a cautious and slightly paranoid person so i want to make sure im buying 100% vg or pg. What are some good brand flavorings and where should i get them i plan on making custard flavors and expirimenting with mainly that because i love sweet flavors. Last think is there an app that is simple to understand that can help with the mixing process. I will not be using nicotine, because i dont want to handle that stuff.

Thanks in advanced for all answers

I will make sure i know what im doing before i mix anything.

You just asked us to explain the entire juice making process and what and where to get every single thing needed including software because you don't want to "scour the internet". You don't have to "scour" anything but you really should take a few minutes to do some reading on your own. Every question you just asked has been asked and answered here in this sub-forum in the last couple of days. Most of your answers are also in the stickies at the top of the page. For a short cut to the answers for many of these questions read Dannys blogs dannyv45's blog | E-Cigarette Forum

Best of luck and come on back if when you have some specific questions or if you come up with some yummy recipes of your own!

Hang in there, Rome was not built in a day.
Best quicky advice I can give:
I would buy only enough good flavors to make 3 or more recipes using thoroughly researched reviews of the flavors you are proposing to purchase.

I would read the different flavor vendors threads on here. There is a ton of good information and recipes too. Make sure your vg is usp certified.

You really should take some time to read up on this diy subforum. I did and I was pretty successful starting off. I also highly suggest when you first mix to make a smaller batch, make sure you like it and then proceed to make a 60ml batch. Otherwise something you think sounds good may not be and then you wasted 60ml worth.

Then read Boletus's blog's. These blogs concentrate on formulation of nicotine bases regarding proper calculations methods for figuring Nicotine concentration as well as safety.

Then read Ginger's book "E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid". It is a book which I've contributed to that delivers an in depth easy to follow guide in the art of DYI.
