DIY JUICE

[barry1988]

Hey happy people!
Just wondering how easy it is to start making your own juice and some average costs?
Can see me ending up spending more on this than my ex filthy habit!
And I'm getting wayyyyy too into this but don't have a clue where to start and where to buy supplies etc

Any help is most appreciated!

Hi

If I can do it anybody can. Initial startup can be costly but after that it's cheap as chips.
I think my startup was about 50quid but I got lots of concentrates. You can do it cheaper If you wish.

You need:
Vg and pg
Nicotine in Vg or pg base (depends on what ratio your mixing at)
Syringes,( 1ml 2.5ml 5ml and 10ml are good) blunt needle tips
Bottles variety of sizes
Gloves!!
I'm probably forgetting something but I'm sure another ape can jump in.

As for the concentrates...I found it easier to start with one shot concentrates where you just add a percentage of the one flavour rather than loads.
Good websites are leisure liquids chefs vapor vampire vapes for concentrates.

Pg and Vg classikool or lubrisolve

Darkstar nicotine is good quality
I get bottles syringes etc on ebay

Finally an ejuice calculator ...ejuice me up is simple to use.

Good luck to you

Can't thank you enough for that lucifairy! Do you find you save money by doing it yourself?

 

[lucifairy]

Haha I'm not very good at explaining myself so hope it made sense!!!

Definitely. My adv was vampire vapes pink man. ...4.99 for 10ml. Spent 10 quid on 30ml of the concentrate and I've made 150 -180 ml depending on percentages!

I still sometimes buy the premium juices as a treat as I can't recreate some of them but it's definitely cut down my spending significantly

I think @lucifairy has covered it all here. But I can honestly say cloning the 'premium juices isn't hard as long as there a percentage guide already online.

I loved CF KRYPTONITE so I just searched in Google for a clone. Bought the 2 concentrates I needed for £6 mixed at 7% and 8% I made 100ml of it for around £8 id say.

Any clone recipes for zeus tooth fairy? that would save me a fortune

Good luck @barry1988

Me and my brother are going to start making our own, for cost saving And mainly so we can experiment different flavours, also so we can share them with our group of friends we vape with.

Where would you say the best place for vg, pg and nicotine is to get? Or is it OK as long as its pharmaceutical grade?

Concentrates isn't so much an issue, like a few I'll use chefs vapor, 8bitvape etc

Cheers

Stay foggy

everyone has their favourite sites mine is everthing liquid thats what i got whe i started quite good value everthing to get you started and 3 concentrates of your choice
http://everythingliquid.co.uk/shop/diy-e-liquid-mixing-kit-bronze-bundle/
theres plenty of others though chefs vapour, alchemists cupboard, vapeable, vampire vape to name a few have a look and see which you fancy.

i get syringes and mixing cylinders from ebay, just beware the cheap cylinders the measurements arent accurate but handy for mixing larger batches.
t-juice and vampire vape concentrates are handy to have as some of the flavours you can just mix, shake and its good to go.
other popular suppliers include flavour art, capella, flavour apprentice/perfumers apprentice (same company i beleive), flavour west, pink spot, lorans
theres loads and most available at chefs vapour.
aslo take a look at the discount code section before you buy there are quite a few codes to get you money off usually around 10%.

empty bottles they're an absolute rip off at some places so beware, but recently found this place very cheap and good service
https://www.ibottles.co.uk/products...t-plastic-ldpe-dropper-bottle-stubby-tip.html you want the LDPE bottles theyre easier
to squeeze your juice out.

ejuicemeup is a good free calculator for your pc to save recipes and has a box for each recipe to add notes.
http://ejuice.breaktru.com/
the potv app for android also a good easy to use calculator.

hope this helps.

Syringes is about the only thing I've got covered, my other half is a nurse so can get me them whenever, I've found some pg and vg, now just need to sort out flavour concentrates and Nicotines but they should be easy enough. Fruit creams should be easy enough to make tasty juices

Don't know why I didn't bother with this before, just had a look on YouTube at how easy it was to mix your own and its unbelievably easy!
