Wowzers! Well I guess it's time to start diy juice.

Doh! That should have been RTS Vapes! Darned similar names! ;)

RTD Vapor is where I get my batteries.

Not their fault, but after two weeks I should finally get my new batteries today!

And I've done enough reading to know what you meant ;-)

If you vape MBV they use Flavor West flavorings .You can try and make up some of your favorites :)

Feel free to PM me anytime and I can give you some DIY help.

...and if you like Flavor West flavoring.....USA Made Vapor Renu : Electronic Cigarettes Refill Cartridges : Candy Flavorings : E Cig Liquid Nicotine : Cartomizer Refills : Menthol E-Liquid : Flavoring Oils : E Cigarette Refills sells Flavor West flavoring for CHEAP! They also have some flavors already mixed.....like Blueberry Waffle, Blueberry Pie, Pecan Pie, etc. so you simply add it to some nic juice and you're vaping. I really like their flavorings....and it's around $6 for a 30ml bottle. Even mixing it at 15% (it's not as concentrated as some of the new super-concentrated flavorings out these days) that'll make a lot of juice. I'm vaping their Pecan Pie right now and it's pretty awesome.

DIY is the way to go.....you can save SOOOO much money. I have been mixing my own juice for almost 3 years now, and anything I mix is better than anything I buy.....to me.

I made a juice that tastes just like soap. I'm that good.

Irish Spring juice, nice!

You vape ALOT. On days where I actually have free time to spare I might go though 9ml in a day.

Most days since I vape as I feel the urge for nic I average 4-6ml. With my workload lately roughly 3ml/day.

I plan to start DIY'ing once I'm wrapping up w/ this project in a few months assuming all goes as planned which it never does.

OK...since so much has been said and it already out there with search...some of my tips:

Don't be afraid of 100mg/ml. It saves huge money if you can trust yourself to do the math and be careful.
I like to make a base of unflavored in a larger batch so I can flavor smaller batches easier.
Glass bottles! Specialty bottle is where I got mine.
Keep the flavor percentage low, and work up. With the RM2 especially matters. I cut my normal percentage a lot compared to tanks, evods, etc.
I love wizardlabs.us for nic...but it seems a lot do...so stock is iffy.

A little of how I started:

I'm in the same boat. Since I've gotten the Reo I've been going through gallons of juice.

I've noticed that alot of folks are using unflavored Nic, which I'm going to try. It is considerably cheaper. But I also would like to come up with my own flavored juice. I've been reading through the DIY sub forums, but I greatly value the opinions of the fine folks here in Reoville so I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

You do not have to get real complicated. I think that is a mistake a lot of newbie DIYers make. For your first experiments, purchase the nic solution in the pg/vg you like, and then also as close to the actual nic level that you vape ... cuz then all you will have to do is mix in your flavoring and not play chemist. :)

Always make your concoctions with only the pg/vg of course, don't use the expensive nic solution for "test batches".

I have at least 3 juices I make that I like to vape, and they only have one flavoring! (Sweet strawberry, for instance) I add a drop of spenda. Easy peasy.

I just got all my stuffs for diy. I couldn't resist making one crazy flavor, but the rest I only mixed one flavor so I could get a feel for those flavors. That hard part now is letting them sit for a week before I try 'em. A test of wills.

Remove the lid and sit the bottle in warm water for about 10 minutes. It will really help get the flavors together. Works with new juices so you can use them quicker!

Derp. I do that for my ordered juices, who knows why I never made the connection that it would work for diy too.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
