the local vape shop that I hang out often has a juice bar, where they mix up the juice for you. custom flavors ete. 15ml for $10 bucks, but they ream you on atty, mods and wire.
I figured out what flavor extracts they use, and will be hitting the same vender they do heheheh

Hate to tell you, but they're reaming you on ejuice too. That's .66/ml. My DIY includes WTA, which is quite expensive, but is still just .14/ml... 30ml for $4.34.

I did the DIY thing for maybe 1000ml and while I liked all the juice I made I prefer pre mixed so I buy pre mixed. Im in Canada to so the prices dont really go below 40 cent a ml from what I have seen, and I have seen a loooot.

I CAN make juice, tasty enough juice BUT I CAN NOT make liquid as good IMHO as premium brands.

    I'm not totally into DIY yet and I still buy most of my pre-mixes online. A 30ml. will last me most of a month (online - $12) and a 10ml. (B&M - $4) if I want to try a different flavor, even though I know DIY costs will be lower in the long run. But then I used to smoke cigarettes knowing they were bad for me..

    A 30ml bottle of premium premade at either of the two local vape shops cost $25 while a 15ml bottle is ~$13. Granted there are some great flavors out there but I vape like a fiend. :vapor: I can go through a 30ml bottle in 2 days. When I tell most people that, they kinda look at me like they don't believe me.
    I went to Walmart and bought some Watkins cherry, some VG, and some PG from Costco pharmacy and for $25 I have enough to make 24 ozs (708 ml). I like the taste of the Watkins cut with a tiny bit of menthol but I am wondering if the flavorings in the food section of grocery stores is harmful if used for vaping. What are the "pros" using to get custard flavoring for example?

    I use TFA's Vanilla Swirl (their custard flavor minus diketones) mixed with their DX Bavarian Cream (DX meaning diketone-free).

    Grocery-store food flavors can be used, if they don't contain any sugar, or any other "filler" ingredients that would turn to black sludge on a coil (dextrose, maltose, etc) or oils.

    Best bet is going to be TPA/TFA, Capella, FlavorArt, Lorann's (the kind without color/sugar added), Nature's Flavors... and I think there are a few others, but those are the top picks. ETA: Ooooh I forgot INAWERA!
