Which kit is the best for DIY nobies?

[Demoness]

Hello all! I am comparing DIY Kits from Onestop and FlavorShack to purchase in a month or 2 or as soon as I can afford too. I want to know, from the experienced DIYers which kit you recommend for noobs and why (more bang for the buck, easier to calculate, more flavors, etc...) I would probably order mostly PG base stuff since I can purchase VG here at home from CVS or wally world (idk if that would save some money) or if i should go ahead and get both types. We have not tried a whole lot of mix ratios or flavors yet, but from what we have tried, my hubby and I really like to taste what we are vaping- strong flavors with a decent TH and as much vapor as we can get with that combo. I do know from the reading that PG has more TH and flavor whereas VG gives more vapor. I would also like to note that I am decent in my mathematical skills, but I have a tendency to over think and totally confuse myself! (took me 3 tries at college to finally understand Elementary Alg ( high school alg.)! I know there are calculators out there to help Please- any input would be valuable! I don't want to spend that kind of money just to find out I need to spend more (I know i will need to spend some to get more of an array of flavors)! We need to save as much as we can so we can get more backup supplies(batts, attys, etc.).


I would also like to send out a big TY to those who have helped us out- without your generosity it would be more like 6mo or so before we could possibly try to DIY!

All I can tell you is that I got my kit from OSDIYS. I loved it and I've just been adding on more flavors since I started. I really love doing business with them and they are always willing to answer questions and help you with all of your DIY needs. They've also been expanding their inventory a lot lately. The prices and selection are excellent and shipping is usually pretty speedy. All of my orders have reached my house in 3 days.

Actually...I'd kinda recomment NOT getting a DIY kit at all. I havnt used a whole lot of the stuff that was included in them, and the stuff I do use would have been cheaper bought outside the kit. Course this is just my personal experiance....and DIY style I suppose.

Thanks for the replies- I am not sure what all one needs to get started that is why I was looking at the kits- didn't know what would be cheaper either- kit vs buying piece by piece. I am open to comments, suggestions, and ideas.

Get stuff on ebay like funnels, dropper bottles, graduated cylinders (when you really get going!), eyedroppers; syringes I need to find some more myself -- some stuff I don't use like fluval I'm not sure. PureVapes has cheap 3ML bottles and the large gauge needles that make measuring with syringes a whole lot easier PLUS he has small sampler sizes of Flavourart flavors that would get you started. There are multiple threads about nic juice availibility and the best supply prices from vendors and which flavor from TPA, FA, Capella's, Tasty Puff, FF, LorAnn's, etc. some would recommend in the DIY e-liquid area. IMO stay away from oils at first also. Happy mixing and Merry Xmas!
