I'm thinking of making my own juice

[Billybob99]

As for cheaper I'd imagine to start off with it would be more expensive with trial and error and wasted liquids etc, if you are only spending say £3 a week on liquid then any savings will be small. The advantages would be you can create your own flavour and also the fun of making it and satisfaction when it all goes to plan, disadvantages if everyone makes there own a lot of the online suppliers will go down the pan, and if it all goes wrong you'll have spent a load of cash on some horrid sickly unusable liquid, mind you I'm new to this so this a maybe wrong just my opinion

Haven't wasted a drop myself so far,use a concentrate from a std supplier like t juice or bumblebee to start and all the guesswork is done for you,mix 1ml first to check flavour at 0 nic

Yep and if it all goes tits up and tastes awfull then throw some menthol in there and the problem goes away

Been mixing my own for a couple of weeks now and the thing I like most is that you can tailor the recipe to exactly your own taste. Make sure you use a good ejuice calculator though, I use the ejuice me up calculator and its spot on.

Hi I want to look into this also. Its meant to be cheaper (once you get necessary ingredients) but I like the idea of vaping my own stuff. Sense of achievement and all that lol

I bought 1 litre bottles of PG and VG and some syringes in anticipation. All I need now is the nic and concentrates.

There are many vendors out there who sell both nicotine and concentrates so your flavours should not be hard to source. As has been said above, it is all trial and error. Couple of tips I would give to new mixers is stick to basic flavours for your first couple of mixes (before trying to get technical and layer flavours together) and most important, mix small until you have found your perfect ratio for flavour. Even now when I mix new flavours, I never mix over 5ml at a time.

Even with your Nic Base and equipment, 10ml should work out at no more £1.00
