I'm looking to get into making my own juice, as much as I am loving the juices I am buying, my vaping budget can't sustain the amount I am getting through in my Subtank mini and while juice will last much longer in my Nautilus mini, I'm no longer getting much satisfaction from it like I am with the Subtank.

So I have some very basic newbie questions.

1: Other than PG, VG and nic, what else do I need to buy? What bottles and other container/measuring 'things' will I need.
2: How do you measure and mix the ingredients? Do you just pour them into a bottle and then give them a good shake? Or are they mixed in something else first and then poured into the bottle you want to store them in?
3: What sort of starter kit should I buy? I've been googling a few different kits and from what I can tell the best looking one is from The Alchemists Cupboard. Others seem to be more expensive for less items. Do I need all the items in this kit?
4: Is there any certain way I should be storing everything when not being used (other than the obvious 'out of reach of kids' etc.,) and when should I use glass bottles instead of plastic bottles?

I'm sure I'll think of some more questions later, but any help given for these would be much appreciated.

Hi, the main thing to buy is the flavours .
You can mix by using syringes, by measuring cylinder, by weight or by eye.
You can add each part to an individual bottle and shake, or make up in a clean glass and use a milk frother, then pour this into a bottle.
A good starter kit is something like this
Make your own e-liquid mixing kit - Bronze Bundle
I tend to keep the nic and pg in a freezer, everything else at room temp. Glass is better for long term storage.
If you find that mixing is for you, you can them look into bulk mixing and get bigger glassware
