Do not know about any book, but you'll get answers on all questions here. How to start, what to buy, etc. I just want to say DIY is very easy. Initial investment could be pretty low, $30-$50 (for a few syringes, nicotine, VG and PG and a few flavors). You may want to start DIY with lower strengths nicotine (a bit less worries about safety), something like 24-48 mg.

Oh phooey on the handbook, just get the stuff and work it out. It's fun! What I hit on for calculating ingredients was to just make 100 ml batches using a graduated cylinder to measure the nic and flavorings. That way ml of 100 proof nic in the cylinder equals mg in your batch. No arcane math or formula is necessary. I use 100 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and a 50 ml graduated cylinder. It's duck soup!

Check out the blog section of ECF.

Seriously, dannyv45 has some great blogs on the subject. Good way to get started and what equipment is absolutely needed.

I like Str8's blogs too, but his are geared toward folks that already have the basics down.

Some folks say that the blogs by somebody that goes by "Hoosier" are helpful, but I've never read them and seriously doubt he knows much.

never seen a handbook ,lot good info here kind of just piece it together that's how i did it

Here's a good place to start.

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.

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

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

E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

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

E-Cigarette Forum - Boletus - Blogs

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.

I am a bit concerned with self-made Amazon cheap books. They present experience of just one vaper. Here, on ECF, you can find advises of vapers more experienced then Amazon indie authors.

You are correct you can't rely on just one source and expect to get a well rounded education. I can vouch for that book as a good book for a beginner. I know the author and have proof read it before it's release as well as contributed to the book. I have a copy on my book shelf and highly recommend it.

Your wrong about that. Everyone I know says there helpful and I happen to agree. They should be book marked for constant reference:)

Everytime I read one of your posts where it says "DYI" I think "do yourself in". :lol:
