I never thought I'd get into it but here I am readying myself to diy. Thanks fda! What do I need to stock up on and what do I need to buy/hoard. I doubt I'm going to be the only one asking these questions in the coming days. Just to elaborate I know nothing about making my own juice. After discovering mech sauce I never thought I'd have to. Thanks ecf!!

First thing you need to do is make a list of all the flavors you want to clone/mix. Then start reading all the stickies in this DIY e-liquid forum. That should keep you pretty busy until you can ask a pointed question about a particular aspect of DIY.
Your probably right, maybe more folks will be exploring DIY. Its a steep and long learning curve.

Here are some links to some very useful reading that will tell you every thing you need to know

My blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice.

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

Then read hoosier's blogs. These blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives.

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.

E-Cigarette Forum - Boletus - Blogs

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.

E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid


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

VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

+1 brother, both excited and nervous to get into making my own juice from scratch, but like you, I see no alternative but to be prepared for the worse.
