Starting with 4oz of flavorings you don't even know if you like them or not? Use sample sizes to start.In my cart, I have the following. with flavors based on a recipes that is a copy cat of some of the juice I'm vaping now. Is this a good start?
- syrgines
- 100Mg 60ML VG Nicotine (I vape 3MG)
- Flavor Apprentice: all in 4oz
- Sweet Tea
- Dragon Fruit
- Rassberry
- Strawberry
- Mango
- Papaya
- Sweetener
Talking to a friend who also mixes, he recommeded that I get a scale and that a .01g isn't needed for larger qty so I went ahead and got a scale that meausres to .1g only. For testing, I will be using the syringe to find the flavors I like then mix 60-120ML batches.
- PG - 1liter jug
- VG - 1 Liter jug
- 2 x glass beaker
- Gloves
- 4 60ml glass bottles
For testing you should really just start the recipes for like 10ml or so to find out if you even can like or vape them. Better to waste 10ml than 60In my cart, I have the following. with flavors based on a recipes that is a copy cat of some of the juice I'm vaping now. Is this a good start?

But what you are missing here is this. Even tho each flavor maker makes these same types of flavors they do not taste the same. Each flavor maker adds what their version of something tastes like. An example would be that I have tried just about every vanilla and different versions of that and hated them all. It took me in like forever to finally find the ONE vanilla I was looking for and I have been DIYing for a very long time. This is why I caution you, what if TFA aren't the ones you are looking for and you end up not liking their version of the flavorings?I'm not sure how much flavoring will be needed per mix but the price difference between 2 and 4 oz isn't much so I opted for that size. Beside, those fruit flavors are what I'd like in any of my mixes so I think I'm ok with purchasing a little extra. I already know that I will discontinue buying pre-made juice so DIY is the future for me.
I also 15ML bottles to the mix. I kept a bunch of 15ml glass bottles from my old juices so I can at least reuse those as well.

I just didn't want you to spend all this money and end up hating it and giving up. DIY should be and is a very fun part of the journey we call vaping but I have seen too many give up because they get frustrated.

Lets put it in perspective then. 4oz = 120mlI'm not sure how much flavoring will be needed per mix but the price difference between 2 and 4 oz isn't much so I opted for that size. Beside, those fruit flavors are what I'd like in any of my mixes so I think I'm ok with purchasing a little extra.

I was pretty sure that was you but didn't want to push it.......I still peek at the other place now and again to see how everyone is doing.....Waving back at you. It took me a while.
thanks guys, I went ahead and reduced everything down to the smallest available size. Any available coupon for Nic River at the moment? Shipping is free >$50 so I'm gonna keep it above that.
Do you need recommendation of a diy calculator? Most of them are free and very good. There are a few that cost a couple bucks but I don't find them any better than the free ones.Good idea to get that free shipping cause if you don't shipping that nic is expensive. No coupon that I know of right now, but they do have sales around holidays.

There are a couple of different kinds. Online ones like E-Liquid recipes. is a great one. They allow you to input all of your flavors and they keep track of what you have and when you use it in a recipe it deducts it. Allows you to also put in cost too. And you can do a search asking what recipes can you make with the flavors you have input. Keep this one in mind for further down the road, I love it. And its free. If you find it useful, the guy accepts donations, but its not required.You know what's funny, I've had a calculator on my phone since forever but never get to use it, if you got a good easy to use one, I'd rather get first hand recommendation than exploring new ones on my own.
