I have tried a couple of online juice vendors including zeus juice, heathers heavenly vapes, lucky 7, and EC blends. I'm sorry to hear that lucky 7 is having problems. They had a good product at a great price. I haven't been dissapointed with any vendor that i've ordered from, but I haven't been blown away either. Most things I have tried had a good flavor, and were good for all day vapes, but i'm looking for something to have as a treat in the evenings. Can anyone suggest a vendor that they have tried that has juices with tons of flavor? I'd prefer USA made, and don't want to pay too much. Probably around $0.50 per Ml would be top end for me as I am on a tight budget. Thanks!

DIY is very easy, as long as you pay attention. With the juice calculators available making a recipe is as simple as filling in the blanks. My "start up kit" for DIY cost me $112, but half of that was an extremely large bottle of nicotine which should last me several years. an 8ml bottle of concentrated flavors cost $1.49 and to make a 10ml batch you would typically use between .5 - 1 ml of flavorings.
I figured out my cost for a 15ml bottle containing 12mg nicotine, 50/50 mix of PG/VG and two flavors; it worked out to about 58¢ for the mix, not including cost for the hardware, which i use over and over.

With kids, make sure you get some type of container with a lock to store the stuff in (I use a tackle box from Walmart).

Don't let DIY scare you. Read, read, read all about safe procedures, and treat it like any other drug around the kids. Good info is king. You should be able to purchase all the stuff to get started for under the cost of 3 bottles of vendor juice, and have enough to make many, many 30ml bottles of good tasting juice.

DIY is the way to save. If your pocket book is happy, and it tastes good, then happy happens. I would suggest easy does it at first. No need for complicated juices to start out. As your experience grows so does your recipes. Here is a simple fruit mix to start out with. I'm sure others have simple mix suggestions ...

7% CAP Raspberry
3% CAP Sweet Strawberry
.5% - 1% WL Sour

I mix this @18 mg nic 65pg/35vg and it comes to ... (with shipping of all ingredients included)
$2.25/30 ml = not $22
I think its great anyway. Simple, and I enjoy it as an all day vape or a relaxing after dinner vape.

What gear are you using? Good juice turns great with the right atty.

I'm in the same boat. I like HHV, for example, and recently reordered a bigger bottle of two of their flavors that I like as ADV. But I like them, I don't love them. I haven't tried many vendors yet, only the most common ones.

But the ones that blew me away ? The Plume Room. When I tried Honey&Fig for the first time two days ago, I went all "oh. wow, that is amazing". The taste is one thing (I dislike artificial falvors, this tastes like the real thing), but the *flavor* made all the difference. Intense flavor, yet super balanced. It's totally what I would call a treat. Like something you'd vape when cooling down after a nice meal in the evening. Truly one step above the rest.

I also loved their Lemon Pie (got it as a freebie) - talk about a treat.

Made me want to try a few other vendors that are usually reviewed as being top of the line.
