Just so you know - you don't have to buy a bunch of tools for DIY juice. All I use are syringes (the kind without the needle) and empty bottles (I just bought a pack of 10 ldpe unicorn bottles from Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers for $5.00)

I rinse out the syringes and re-use until the writing is gone, and that takes a while.. plus, they are inexpensive to buy. You can even pick up some various sizes at places like Tractor Supply and not worry about shipping costs. You need a handful of 1ml syringes, and a couple of the 3,6,10 and 20ml..

nothing else is needed. Just shake the bottle of juice periodically while it steeps.. no big deal, no equipment necessary.

The other stuff makes it easier perhaps, but it's not like you need a bunch of stuff for the basics.

You can get a couple two or three ingredient recipes from people right here on this forum..

You can do this, even broke.
You can get syringes from your pharmacy. They give them out for giving kids liquid medicine. Well my pharmacy does anyway. DIY is very easy. In a 120ml bottle I put 18ml flavoring, 3.6ml 100mg/ml VG base (3mg) and top off the rest with VG. Shake vigorously, DRIP IT & RIP IT!

I will still vote for Trump and I will still vape as usual. There is not a sane person running on the demonrat side for any office anymore.
to each their own. I can't stand and I mean HATE both sides. To bad there's no one running for the No Party. Like when CASAA was emailing everyone about light up the white house phone. I vote and I vape. I had emailed all the legislatures and all the senators I could. But once at the white house no thanks I will not waste my time. He doesn't give a .... about us. IMO and my experience. :)

And the demonrats that have destroyed Kalifornia care about you? I don't think so. It's not so much as I'm voting for Trump as I'm voting against the insanity on the other side. It's a lesser of 2 evils thing.
k yep gotta go and have a wonderful weekend and I agree somewhat with you. I think I should also get some more pg and vg too. Peace

Nearly every state has declared either a flavor ban or ban on all vaping. The federal government is saying the same thing.
Nearly every state? I'd only heard about a few so far. Where is a current list available?
I've learned the hard way that he has a serious problem exaggerating... In another thread he implied that congress was going to immediately ban e-cigs based on what they said at the congressional hearings... I spent $100 on coils that I did not need because of that (I had coils coming from china but was worried with a ban that customs would catch it...). Since then I do not pay attention to anything he says.

So true. I bought the works. Grad. cylinders, packs of multiple size syringes, needles, pipettes. The only thing I ever use now is my 10ml syringe, sans tip. And I'm so cheap & lazy, I scratched the lines with a knife and sharpied them, so I can still see the lines.

    well...it’s the democratic governors who are also instituting these draconian bans sooo....flip the executive branches across the board and I bet there’s still a ban. Just IMO.

    Actually it was the Massachusetts governor that started all of this and handed out the worst ban of all... a Republican. I'm not a fan of either party so I won't be arguing about this but this point should be clarified.

    These emergency bans are all headed to court where the shop owners will argue the order is excessive and not justified by the evidence and the judge should stop the ban pending a hearing in court. Several of these are submitted and awaiting judgement by the courts. So may be things won't happen so fast, have to wait and see. This is a time to be vigilent and politically active, not a time for panic.

    But in the mean time if you intend to be a life long vaper you should learn to mix and rebuild. A 1 liter bottle of 100 mg nic that costs $50 will last me 4 years. My cost of ingredients for liquid is 1 cent per ml. A 250' roll of wire, a 20 year supply, costs $10. A 4 year supply of organic cotton squares is $10. Vaping is cheaper than playing chess. Life is good.

    ^^ Yeah, but we're all screwed come May anyway. That's the rub. I really don't get "flavor bans" when it's all hitting the fan in 9 months anyway.

    OK, the dumb-butts that don't understand vaping combined with the FDA and congress that use too broad of terms...well....I can see them reacting to a "crisis" when people are dying. Not reacting well, but reacting. So...that's almost understandable.

    But there's no indication that all this is from "flavors", so my original paragraph still applies. Why not just let the FDA do all the dirty work?

    I dyi for a few years now, pretty easy I use a 100ml bottles and I go online for recipe of liquids cheaper that way and you can get a 10ml seringe at the pharmacy. I just count the drops of flavors, I believe its 20 drops for 1ml which is 1% anyways that's what I'm using. I do a batch of 2 100ml bottles which last me for around 2 months once my 2 other bottles are close to empty.

    Well dear I hate all ra
    I've never understood how anyone can hate another human being just because their political ideas are different from one's own..

    I just can't imagine having that much hate in my heart.. it's terribly sad, and I can't help but feel terribly sorry for the haters.

    Well dear I hate racists
