What kind of supply's and where

[jexmex]

I kinda feel like a .... head, thinking about all the things I should get, lol.

So I want a decent setup for mixing e-juice, extracting from carts, and everything else.

What kind of supplies should I look at getting? And where should I get them? Can I get bottles and that from known place (walmart, etc), or do I need to order them online?

I already know I will need to buy some tweezers, scissors, and bottles, but what kinds and what size?

Thanks!

there are some DIY juice kits out there, and they come with a handy little toolbox. myfreedomsmokes.com is where i got mine, but i dont know if he is offering that anymore. i dont see that on his website, so.....heh... nevermind.

Hobby Lobby is also a good source. I got my PV organizer from Harbor Freight. It keeps everything in one small place, organized and portable.

Well I do have a tackle box type thing for the little bit of supplies I do have, lol.

Thanks for the links, looking them over now.

No chance of local places to look for these type of bottles?

Sure - depending on how much, may be cheaper on line but yeah, walmart, meijers around here, costco, etc. etc. target.... squeezable plastic. Another thing you have to watch for is drop size when measuring - a syringe drop (depending on diameter slit) will be much less than a squeeze bottle drop. Better to measure in cc's and a measured dropper can come in handy. I always rinse my syringe with water/distilled water - taking some in and squirting out a few times when going after another flavor. Same with dropper. etc.

And keep notes ;-) And start small - really small, shake and vape, then adjust. I threw out about 20ml of 'cappuccino' once - not that I started with that amount - just what it 'grew' to trying to get a good take on the taste.

I test by dripping on an atty and then vaping until flavor leaves - adjust - Try another, etc. etc.

usplastics.com is a great resource for bottles. I got like 100 3ml bottles to make DIY juice. You can also get pipettes from them.

In addition to the list, I would add:

-- 1 gallon of PG
-- VG (any craft store, in the cake decorating system)
-- Craft box to keep liquid dry/dark in the bottom and carts/attys/batts in the top tray. (any craft store) Alternately, a toolbox from HD or Lowes will work, just much bulkier.
-- Eye droppers (for counting out drops in mixes -- as different droppers are different sizes!)

What I do when not vaping commercial niquid is grab one of the 3ml bottles. 50% 36mg no-flavor, 25% PG, 5% vG, 20% Lorann's flavoring (I like a lot of flavor).

This allows me to vape 18mg flavors to test them out before I make a lot of something I may not like. Working on a yummy Blackberry tonight.

Use the juice calc noted above or the one from Jaaxx (juicyliquid supplier) and have a blast!

Nice list, Kent. I will have to save this for future reference.

Nice list, Kent. I will have to save this for future reference.

Thanks. I think I'll save it out as a favorite myself. I have all those links but never put them in one place. I'd point out there are other sources of unflavored nic juice. I've gotten some from puresmoker.com, innovapor's EcoPure's 'Fresh' (unflavored - at 30mg), eastmall. And of course there was the threads on 36 and 48mg. unflavored. The stuff I've used is from liquidxpress and it vapes just fine.

Try ecigsmokestore.com Dawn is awesome. She has DIY kits with everything you could ever need. H er juice is great too Just so many too choose from

Yes ecigsmokestore.com has the best kit saved me so much time ordering and running around town for supplies.....I felt kinda weird in stores getting droppers and bottles syringes, talk about feeling like a druggy. Like Kellie said best juice I ever vaped.
