Very nice list to start out with. No need to spend a lot of money to start out with until your sure DYI is good for you, so your list is very smart indeed. I would just recommend adding 1ml syringes. These are the syringes you'll need to measure out smaller amounts of flavorings for your test samples.

As far as bottles 12ml are good for test samples and when your ready to make larger amounts 30ml and 60ml bottles will do the trick but save those for your 3 or 4th order. By then you'll know if your going to stick with it. Also for that order 50ml or 100ml measuring cylinders come in very handy for measuring larger batches of base fluids.

Also I recommend inawera or hangsen flavorings. There easier to work with then TFA flavorings. You'll get better, faster results with those.

Not sure where you can get them in the UK but in the US you can get them here.

E-Juice Conentrated Flavoring

If you get stuck here is some research materal. Expecially read my blog on "supplies for the new juicer".

My blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice.

Then read hoosier's blogs. These blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives.

Then read Boletus's blog's. These blogs concentrate on formulation of nicotine baces regarding proper calculations methods for figuring Nicotine concentration as well as safety.

Then read Ginger's book "E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid". It is a book which I've contributed to that delivers an in depth easy to follow guide in the art of DYI.

E-Cigarettes 102: DIY E-Liquid


I recommend viewing VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety and bookmark it for future reference. It explains safety in all aspects of DYI.

VPLive Vape Team Episode #82: DIY Safety

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

also looking for recomendations on flavourings, i'm looking at LorAnns Concentrates and pink spot flavourings, any others i should look for?

I like inawerashop.com - they're based in Poland and still have running a 20% off everything sale (today only) coupon code HAPPY20. They have very good concentrates, as well as nic base, bottles and such
