DIY only or Ready Made?

[RobertShaw]

Now I've been making my own juice a while, even though I'm still inexperienced I've got to making a few different flavours that I like and I'm able to change around vaping so I don't get bored. I occasionally buy a premium juice as a treat. It also tells me however good I think my juice is, I'm still a long way from my juice being premium!

So, do you Juice makers soly use your own juice or occasionally buy a ready made?

For I think around 6 to 8 months I have only used my own diy. Its a bit like coiling in that you have to practice to get what works for you. I usually can make a new flavor and at least be decent because I know the concentrates I use well. I really have had very little desire to go back to buying juice but I guess it is also based on money alot too. With tanks like the goblin and their ilk I really could not afford to. If I had the money I would probably not make it buy for convenience

Same as you buddy. Just made my second ready made juice order this year (30mls and last one was I think 30mls). Like you say it's good for comparison, and we deserve the odd treat!

After a month or so of non stop DIY juice, thought it fun to try so premade.

Hmm, Mothers Milk was a disappointment in both tank and dripper, Peachee Feilds wasna any better.

So went back to my own Peach & Cream and strawberry/vanilla mixes and was a happier camper. Tanned off 20 odd ml quite quickly

I really hope that bottle of Mrs Lords Ginger Nut isn't the same let down....

I like my own juice (not been making it long), but there are people doing flavour profiles I would never think off.

So, I still buy plenty of juice for inspiration, and down right theft!

i haven't bought a pre made juice in 7-8 months. as above i couldnt go back to buying premade now it would cost me a fortune lol. i vape 10-15ml a day sometimes more.
tell a lie i bought a juice a few days ago 30ml of heisenberg as i wanted to try it (only paid a fiver though) but will buy the concentrate if i decide its for me.
im no expert either but i have bought premade and gave it away and as yet i have never made a juice i couldn't vape.
ive searched for a perfect rhubarb and custard and never found one (my evening vape) but mine blows all the others out the water just a simple mix but i can tweek it when i need.
i am beginning to "clone" a few of the well known juices but i do prefer a simple fruit mix.

Only DIY for me. I am easy pleased with my baccy mix my fruity baccy and the other one.
I spent a weekend with some other apes testing a whole bunch of juices and I prefer mine, I do not claim mine are better just they suit me better because they have been tailored to my taste, not least because I find most juices have too much flavour. My mixes only use about 5%.

I do not claim mine are better just they suit me better because they have been tailored to my taste.

You hit the nail on the head. Ive vaped a bit of pre made and mixed some of them together to make what i want.

Now as i diy i can mix to suit my taste buds.

I will always be greatful that there are lots of juices available to buy as without it many of us wouldnt know what we like/dislike.

Just started making my own yesterday and for the costs involved and how much I can make I'm sticking to DIY. I'll buy the odd premixed juice now and again but the bulk of my stock will be my own stuff.

Same old story here ... been mixing my own since August and I stopped buying premade. Initially it was only about saving money, vaping 10mls a day was and is expensive at premade prices. At some point, I don't know when exactly, it became a hobby and the most important part of vaping for me.

I've bought 150mls of premade in those 8 months - a little Christmas treat of El Diablo, then some Puros Dark when it was half price and Boba's Bounty just to see what the fuss was about. Boba's Bounty was a massive disappointment, I make much better myself! That's not arrogance, it's all about making what suits your taste.

If anything, mixing your own teaches you more respect for the real flavour artists out there, and makes you chuckle at the prices being paid for so called premium juice.
