I've been wanting to get into DIY and have found a site with premixed pg/vg/nic. This appeals to me starting out because of the danger of high nicotine strengths. If anyone has experience with these I have a few questions. Apologies if this thread does not belong in DIY!

Is this a good deal for the money?
Do I have to use the flavorings on the same website with the 2 bottles of flavoring/base formula or can I use flavorings from other companies to experiment with the awesome sounding recipes on here?
Is there more than 1 vendor offering these bases?

Thanks for any tips or info!

Somewhere out there
Higher strengths usually work out to be more economical, but there's nothing wrong with starting out with a pre-mixed base near the strength you usually use. Once you gain confidence in your measuring and mixing skill, then you can buy the higher strengths and save more.

And yes, you can use flavoring from different vendors.

Can you post price? Hard to tell if it's a good deal.

Many companies offer nic in a variety of pg/vg percentages. You can purchase flavorings anywhere. Here's some blogs that discuss this exact thing.

Like the above poster said, buy what you're comfortable working with.

Here is the info from the site. I'm unclear on the actual Ml's. 120? 6mg is $6.49. I'm also confused about the pg/vg ratio and what I will end up with if I use flavorings from another vender although I don't think that will vary it enough to make a HUGE difference. After multiple fails with RBA's I was worried I couldn't handle true diy, but looking for premade bases seem to be more confusing than mixing it myself! Thanks for the help again!

Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, Vegetable Glycerin, Unflavored Nicotine (after adding flavoring the mix will even out to about a 50/50 mix)

Contains NO dyes, alcohol or other additives.

Each bottle actually fits 135ml and is designed to work with the ALL flavor concentrates sold on here! Recommended usage: Start with by adding 1 full vial, shake, then test. We do recommend 2 vials for an added boost

Combine 1 vial of 2 different flavors to create your own masterpiece!

If the math part is a concern for you there are tons of calculators on here that can help. Also it's for your own use so while your nic needs to be measured accurately if you shoot for a 50/50 mix and end up with a 45/55 it's not a big deal. DIY liquid sounds much more difficult than it is. Well at least the basics, some recipes are down right problematic :p

It's ok to ask questions.

Go for it. From what I read on Killer Juices forums here, its good stuff. I buy juices every week there because he has huge .99 sales every week. I DIY too and have purchased a few flavors with Killer Juice. I usually buy my stuff in huge volume though because i make juice for my entire family. lol. It's good stuff though.
