Why Do You DIY?

[Old Chemist]

1. I already have a laboratory so using it for this was easy
2. I don't like most e-liquids that I can buy so I prefer my own
3. I prefer my own nicotine concentrations (20mg and 10mg respectively)
4. I can get what I want dramatically faster
5. It is substantially less expensive

I would add two more points:
6. You really know what's inside the bottle (if you work carefully)
7. It's fun to mix the stuff and experiment.

For me it's all about the alchemy. I always did want to be a mad scientist and now I can be. One day I may even figure out the recipe for vaping gold. It's the quest for that perfect vape. And we all know that today's perfect vape more than likely won't be tomorrow's.

With my 10 to 15mL per day habit, even DIY is expensive. JMHO

I DIY because at 6ml a day I would go broke in a hurry buying over-priced high mark up pre-mixed bathtub juice. I would rather spend the money on mods. When I first started, I got stuck with a bad batch of nasty juice from TW as well, and that was what really started me on DIY. Its nice to know what goes into a juice, and not depend on someone else.

Because I want what I want when I want it!

I agree with most of you on your reasons for DIYing, my two biggest reasons are the savings, but more importantly I can have my stuff now.......

Consistently getting exactly what I want, and an offshoot is bring able to whip up stuff for friends to try. My all-day vape takes me just a couple minutes, including cleanup, to make 60 ml.

Fortunately, if tomorrow I could no longer diy, I also know some quality smaller vendors whose product I trust absolutely

I like knowing what goes into my juice.
I am stockpiling for the apocolypse.
I don't care about the cost factor...........but it is substantially less expensive than purchasing juice (plus they use these flavors too) & buy saving money on juice, I can buy more mods.

-For sure the number one reason for me was money, so so so much cheaper to make your own.
-Don't have to stalk the mailman for liquid to arrive.
-It's just fun, I love creating my own flavors and documenting everything, making some tweaks til you get that perfect juice. I get a little obsessive about it....
