Yes, if single coil rdas are your thing. $15 authentic? Where, I'll buy one?
101 vape clearance. It's one I haven’t taken a look at, will yt it tomorrow and get a good look at the deck. Not crazy about the look of it but for 15 I can overlook that. Been looking for a good deal on the Recurve.

Well, you're already in the Shinyitis group, ya' sure you want several hundred bottles of flavors all over the place,because that's what will happen no matter what you think:laugh:
True words. The rabbit hole runs deep.

That’s one of the major reasons why I haven’t pulled the trigger, that and the initial cost.. ROI is NOT any of the reasons. It must be a labor of love like a chefs work
Start up costs will pay for themselves in a couple months. One thing I wish is that I had started mixing by weight from day one.

Loving all this DIY e-juice info... will be set if I ever choose to go in that direction
Random DIY mixing and More
Come join or lurk over here! Plenty of familiar faces ;). I’ve learned a ton in a short time from this crew. I thought it would be difficult, time consuming, or expensive. It’s not, even for a stubborn mess like me. Bonus is MUCH better juice for a extreme fraction of the cost of commercial juices

Really? Everything i’ve heard start up gets in 3 figures fast. Not sure how you could recoup that in a few months.. I.e. scales, bottles, nic VG,PG, and and and

That’s the part that I find really alluring, the benefit of excellent juice, although the premiums I’m currently hooked on are IMO very inexpensive. As in 11-13 $ for 100ml

ROI? It is a labor of love....one I'm not so lovey dovey with. What I really mean is, I think DIY is great but I wish I had more ambition and drive like some people I know. I also lack the patience when it comes to long steepers. I will say this, once you finally get the hang of it and can make a few recipes as your ADVs, it's easy to make a large batch that will last you awhile. My soul advice (and I wish I followed it, myself) is to follow the advice of your mentors because they do know what they're talking about. It will save much time and money.

Psychologically, mixing by volume is more comfortable. Most of my juices have been one flavor mixes.

I have been getting tired of all the little syringes I have to use for my sister's eliquids. On top of that, I've bought a whole bunch of new flavors and am thinking about trying a bunch of multiple flavor recipes.

But, by weight is SO counter-intuitive! It makes me nervous.

Nic isn't much when you break down the cost, especially if you can get free shipping and have a coupon code. The scale doesn't cost much and if you aren't saving bottles yet start now. The small plastic bottles you'll want for testers are cheap on ebay and ft. You can get started for about 100 all in if you spend wisely.

Don't let the looks throw you off. I'm looking for a Recurve, too. Wait, I said I was good for hardware. You people are a bad influence.:p I thought this was a 12 Step Vapers Group:laugh:

I measure by volume in syringes because it’s what I’m most familiar/comfortable with. Bought gorilla bottles on clearance from 8vape for about 40 cents apiece. Cheated and got premixed base with nic in the beginning (on sale $11 for a litre). Flavors are CHEAP compared to shinies. Plenty are between $1.50 and $2.50. You can get enough of those to get started. Plus, it’s mad scientist, satisfying fun.

That was my thoughts too, I was wrong. So much easier and to wash up if you premix your nic base and mix in bottle. Some days I only have to wash my haND mixer.
