I'm new to the whole e-juice business (had an e-cig with cartridges for a while - it was OK, but little vapour and no flexibility led to loss of interest).
I looked at starter kits, but the only one that offered a selection of flavours didn't seem to offer a good balance of liquids (50ml nic base, 5x10ml flavours & 200ml PG dilutant). There was no VG included to play around with ratios on the dilutant.
All the other starter kits offered only one or two flavours, which I felt made the exercise pretty pointless (granted it's cheaper than pre-mixed, but most of the anticipated fun is in the blending).
Not being one to do anything by halves, last night I ordered over a litre's worth of ingredients, including 19 flavours totalling 340ml, 250ml PG nic & 250ml each of PG & VG. Based on the rate I'm using the pre-mixed bottle I have, it should last me about 2 years (now getting a tad worried about the storage of the flavours).
I'm consoling myself with the fact that, even though I'm still smoking a small amount, even only saving half a packet of fags a day, I'll have made my money back in 27 days! (I was on 15-20 per day, reduced to 5 per day).
I bought through the marketplace on this site, as the flavours were much cheaper than elsewhere, but sadly they had no bottles/syringes, which leaves me stuck having to make a small value order elsewhere and paying more in delivery.
I take the view that the more fun this is, the more likely I am to stick with it - the cost of fags being what they are, it's a hobby that makes me money!
