New to diy

Hi guys, looking to start to diy my own juices. I am looking to gather equipments before starting mixing. A list of items would be great for me to gather before mixing.

 

[Archer74]

there are vendors out there that sell mixing kits. The basic kits should be enough to get you started but get extra blunt needles and syringes
DIY MIXING KITS
Nude-Approved DIY Starter Kit - Basic - Nude Nicotine

also a basic mixing calculator to make it easy and there are more elaborate ones out there too

and of course PG, VG, flavor supplies
3ml flavor samples sizes (3ml) Flavour Art Flavors
8ml flavor sample size 8ml Flavors
PG, VG, and Nic Chemicals and Extracts

I'm pretty much a rookie myself, I've been mixing for about 4 months.

When I started I was counting drops but that didn't last long, I moved to syringes and bought 1ml, 3ml and 5ml. Moving to syringes made life so much easier and is much more consistent.

Once I started having success and moved to larger batches I picked up a couple 10ml & 20ml.

I also picked up two graduated cylinders but don't use them as much as I thought I would.

If you haven't been saving your empties your going to need either glass or Empty LDPE Bottles.

All of this I picked up on Ebay pretty cheap.

My nic came from Nude Nicotine and my PG/VG form Essential Depot.

Essential Depot has a coupon code this weekend fyi10

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.

I recommend viewing VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety and bookmark it for future reference. It explains safety in all aspects of DYI.
