What a DIY starter kit OUGHT to be

[HeadInClouds]

I'm not a DIY'er. I just mix pre-made juices and have a few flavor concentrates to add when necessary. I WOULD do it myself if I could find a "kit" like this idea:

* small bottles of premixed nic: you'd specify initial nic % (up to 2.4 or so) and PG/VG/mix, and 10 or so pre-filled bottles would be included in the kit. They'd be plastic bottles with dripper tops that pop off to add to the contents, shipped about half full to allow space for flavors and shaking.

* Assortment of flavors: Either pick from a list or choose a pre-selected grouping (fruits, sweets, beverages, etc.). The choices would need to be limited to flavors that are vapable at about the same %. (remember it's a starter kit, not the ultimate gourmet e-liquid kit). These would all be dropper bottles for easy dispensing.

* Instructions: flip open the top of a bottle, add (however many) drops of flavor in any combination, close lid, shake, (steep), and vape

* Recipe book: would include flavor ideas, eg Thin Mint: 10 drops of chocolate, 4 drops of mint, 1 of sweetener

There would be nothing dangerous no matter HOW it's mixed, nothing that's not useful later as a DIY'er expands, nothing you need that's not included. You'd have LOTS of left over flavors, so there should be the option to buy more half-filled nic-base bottles later.

I would *absolutely* buy this myself, and I think many others would, too!

I see the point your trying to make but fear the user would not learn anything about DYI from this method. I further think this wouldn't make it any cheaper then just buying premade juice off the shelf. The cost just to prepare and package this kit would be just as expensive as retail juice. The idea of DYI is not to just save money but to get a flavor taylored to your vaping enjoyment. DYI is a learning process there's no way around it.
