Went ahead and placed my first order for DIY stuff. Ordered from WizardLabs - got PG, VG, nic, syringes, bottles, and a few flavors. Now to start mixing...
Well now I've done it...

Congrats Bubba. Now it's time to figure out what you're going to buy with all of the money you'll be saving.
I love mixing, only been at it a couple months. If you're experimental or a 'make from scratch' kinda person, you'll like it.
Not to mention saving money.

I made my first batch Saturday and then yesterday I made 5 more! If I had time today I would of made 2 more. I have collected too many recipes I want to test out. 
It is a lot of fun when you make something yourself and tastes awesome! Then I figured how much money those 6 10 ml test batches would of cost with shipping, is almost the cost of all the starting supplies! YIKES I am addicted now.

For me, I'm going to start with a fee basic flavors while learning what I'm doing. Not trying to reinvent the wheel right off the bat. I reckon that gives me a better chance of success since I'm just starting out
Bubba that's the smart way to start out. A few single flavor recipes then on to bigger and better stuff. If you need some help along the way I recommend looking at some of this materal and ask lots of questions. Best of luck and if you get stuck were here to help.

I started diying over one year ago and have enjoyed my hobby, saved a ton of money and love the flavor of my own juices.
Enjoy the ride.

Danny's and Hoosier's blogs were what got me started and I can't thank them enough!
Yep, I've read them both as well and were both really helpful. I think the key is to start slow and work your way up, rather than trying to make pluid or boba's right away...
I've been DIY for two and half years, financially it just makes sense. When I started vaping three years ago, I felt like often time vendor juices weren't strong enough on flavor, and I like to really taste my juice. vaping some creamy tasting DIY blueberry now.
Good luck to you, and have fun with it.

For me what's triggering this is the fact that I don't like being at others mercy. If I get low on juice, I want to be able to go mix some more, rather than ordering from somewhere, waiting on them to ship, waiting on the mailman, then still having to wait to steep. I'm also looking to get into mechanicals and RBA's for the same reasons. Tired of DOA's, out of stock, chinese machine oil, bad batches of heads/coils, etc.
All that being said, I don't see me giving up my Virus anytime soon. I think that'll be more of a treat though rather than an ADV. It's just too good, kind of like a really good cigar -not something for all day every day, but something to be savored.

I agree, Bubba, DIY makes me feel secure about having my ejuice supply.
Welcome to DIY!! I'm loving it man, hope you will as well. Its always great when people see me dump a whole tank out and they freak out because "juice is sooo expensive"
I just laugh and think to myself "Well, there goes $0.50" and just make something better.

Better yet is when people want your juice, you can pretty much break even on all of your supplies....make others pay for your hobby!
