Under 50 bucks will buy you a small bottle of nic base, some PG, VG a small quantity of flavoring and a handful of syringes. And it's a *lot* cheaper. I buy in bulk and make my juices for less than 5 cents per mL. PG can be bought at many Wal-Marts and VG at practically all of them. The nic and the flavors I'd buy from a DIY supplier; you don't want to use the wrong stuff.
