I am currently reading through the stickies for new members before I head anywhere else, but the DIY eliquid forum will be my next stop.

I already have the ejuicemeup calculator, love it!

I got flavors from DIY Flavor Shack and I'm not in love them, that's for sure. They aren't bad, and I don't know what to expect anyway, but I thought it would be easier I think

hey Ezz, welcome to the ecf. I started DIY juice about 2 months into vaping. And been loving it. Wizard Labs is me one stop juice supply shop. Orders over $60 ship free. One only needs some various syringe sizes for measuring, glass rods for stirring, maybe some flasks for mixing in, mason jars work in a pinch, and if you saved all your juice bottles, can skip on those for now. Then just get some nic base, prefer nic in a pg carrier, easier to measure and mix, then VG, PG, and flavor extracts. I use the ejuice Me UP calculator, and it's off to the lab and see what's on the slab, or something like that.


Vape long and Prosper.!!!!

There are many different flavoring companies whose flavors you can explore.

FA (Flavour Arts), TFA (The Flavor Apprentice) and INW (Inawera) all have ongoing threads in the DIY Forum. Recipes are often posted in the threads.

There are other companies with threads there as well.

Hey there!

Good choice to go DIY it will get easier. My first couple of mixes weren't that great either....flavors and % do matter.

Some flavors have to Cure or Steep for awhile to get better.

Keep reading and ask questions and you'll learn quickly.

Check out flavor west. A lot of vendors make in house juice from F.W.

I've been doing the D.I.Y. thing for over a tear now. I have invested thousands of dollars in it. My suggestion. Don't vape designer brands. You will be on a losing quest! I have come close to a few. But still prefer them over D.I.Y. mixes.

Okay, so I will check out Flavour Arts, The Flavor Apprentice, Inawera, Wizard Labs, and Flavor west. That's a lot of shopping to do

I bought a kit that had a few plastic bottles, a couple syringes, a few flavors, 30ml of 60mg nicotine in 50/50, menthol crystals, PG, VG, pipettes, funnels, a few glass bottles, ..... that might be it, but I feel like I'm forgetting a bunch lol

I don't use nicotine anymore, but my husband does. The juice that I make up, I make it 0 nic and if he likes it, we do the math and add in the nic for him.

I must say, thanks for the welcoming feeling here!
