how much mixing stuff to buy

[Derth Vaper]

PM'd Simon and he's going to be sending me out a sample of Snake Oil. Seems to be getting raved about. Looking forward to tooting it and cleaning out my tank in anticipation

Hi I was running out of juice so called in the local shop,I thought I would try a lower strength 18mg in a few flavours.It wasnt the regular guy at the counter,so he sold me three bottles of medium strength flavours.
He said some makers put medium instead of 18mg, he said it definitely contained nicotine, think he is wrong these bottles have no nicotine in them.
On the box it says Dekang vapour flavor ,contains herbal extract 2 glycerol 3 pg.There is no taste to these at all.
I might have wasted a tenner but ,will never buy from that shop again.
I am ordering a mixing kit,
Its costing a lot more than when I was smoking,I cant tell the misses how much I have spent in the last few weeks,lol

Go for it Frank, the spending will level out once you're set up. Then it'll be a new concentrate or two every month... buttons. I would suggest keeping meticulous notes, exact labels and using the ejuice calc "eJuice me Up" it's really good and allows you to put in tasting notes.... Keep on keeping on!!!

The POTV calculator is also good, i quite often sit in costa with my giant coffee and make notes, in my little mixing book, flavours to try and stuff to mix, VG can be bought in boots for under £2 ( i think it might even be £1.25) PG and nic are the main ones to buy, as well as flavours.
I bought a mixing kit from leisure liquids and some flavours, all i can say is it is a journey, and a great one at that, especially when you get a flavour right!
My opinion is, go for it, the majority of hardware you can get in a kit, then just liquids to top up on now and again!

Thanks I just ordered the starter kit you bought,I haven't got a lot of faith in ready mixed at the moment,this costing a small fortune,lol,with buying the wrong liquid ,ordered to many spare coils off ebay,then a battery 2 atomisers ,and now a starter kit,not far off £80, how much is crack cocaine these days,only joking.

Sorry if this has been asked before,but I was thinking of having a go at mixing some juice,
The market place baffled me a bit,I would prefer to use just one vendor,
I was going to order from 28 vapes later,
The question is ,would a 100mm vg base,100mm 74 nicotine,and a few different flavours,30mm ,
Also measuring needles and plastic bottles,is there anything else I would need.
I was hoping to make a 18mg juice,after buying ready made tobacco flavoured for the last three months ,its time to try something else ,thanks.

I've seen these mixing starter kits around the place and the alchemist cupboard seems pretty good - http://www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/product/gold diy mixing kit
you get
100ml of 72mg nicotine
100ml of pg
100ml of vg
2 flavour concentrates of your choice
2 syringes
and a few dripper bottles
£37.50

I have been vaping over 2 months now, spent about £800, quite scary to be honest, but hey, i am on me own, everyone needs a hobby lol!

I have been pondering the starter kit for mixing and was gonna ask about where to get a good one, has anyone got some advice on one to go for or is this a good find by ninja.
