Idiot Beginners Questions!

[lambo16]

Right I've used the search but to no avail! Sorry if this has been asked before!

I'm looking at DIY mixing, on the basis that the majority of cheaper eliquids consider of not much more than pre made concentrates with little mixing/tweaking (maybe I'm wrong ) And so for this reason I'd like to make my own. How much am i likely to save by buying the components individually? as opposed to in a starter kit?

Do the majority of diy vapers use a dripper to test the mixtures, is putting it into a tank each time to test it, too much like hard work? (Am I missing the usual path of ego>VV>Sub>Dripper>Diy?

How much does 10mL work out at when home brewing?

And final question, by local B&M makes an amazing (!!) mixed berry vape, 'A full on mix of black grape cranberry and mixed berries!' - does anyone have any recipes for something like this? It's one of my favourite vapes back when I had the Evod mega at 1.5 ohms, but It's a 50/50 mix, and now I've made the move to sub-ohm I'd prefer something a bit more Vg heavy (clouds bro) (And the fact that since moving to sub ohm I no longer have dry mouth/throat!!)

Thanks again guys and really sorry if this has all been asked before!

I can link anyone to the B&M juice if they PM me, don't want to anger the mods!! but it's an amazing juice!

OK, where to start?

Have a look here at a thread by @Huggett who has put together a list of vendors and discount codes. Very helpful. I would say go for invidual items rather than a starter kit, but each to their own.

I use drippers most of the time at home, so that is my choice for testing juice. Use something basic that is easy and quick to re-wick.

Cost per bottle depends on which concentrates you use, percentage of flavouring, and how much nicotine you use. It's been a while since I did any costings, but a 50ml bottle costs me around £3.00. It's the initial outlay on concentrates, nicotine etc that looks expensive but then that makes a lot of juice.

There are recipes on here and if I remember there is a mega list in the mixology section.

Hope that helps. Have fun

You can pick up a decent RDA clone from Fasttech for a fiver or thereabouts.

As @Mr Numpty says Fasttech is the place to look for cheap RDA clones. Get one that has good reviews and is easy to build on. You don't want anything too fiddly if you are going to try several juices one after the other.

+1 @Huggett list of venders an discount codes, very helpful

Have a look at Darkstar for nicotine, VG, PG and concentrates. Discount code MAD27 will get 27% off or MAD25 for 25%, but these may be running out soon.

For syringes look at tukhs and for bottles minikshop on ebay.

You won't find better than these at the moment, and a starter kit would be way over.

Thank you, I'll place an order! £18 for the nicotine! That seems so much!

Don't forget the discount code.

it sounds a lot but if you make your juice 18mg nic, 250mls will make a litre or two litres at 9mg
