New Mixer Advice

[deadone]

hello all.
looking at doing my own thing like many here, could do with a little help please.
im more of a mint, spearmint, black ice, red astaire kinda guy and im looking at concentrates i would need to do this kind of thing.

anyway my list i have so far for stuff i would require to mix is a s follows,

Nicotine / 72mg
Dropper Bottles + caps (glass and plastic various sizes)
PG/VG (my main usage is at 80/20 so will most likely stick to this unless you suggest why i should change it.
Needles - do i require needles as im also going to purchase some scales that allow me to measure in ml.
gloves - i have plenty of these as i use them all the time while cleaning my bike
mixing beakers in various sizes

Concentrates
now the ones id like would be in the ranges from a hint of menthol Menthol not too strong , Heisenberg, Red Astaire , Spearmint , Pinkman , Clear Storm , black ice and the likes.
now my question is i have no idea were i should start, currently vaping my local stores spearmint and i love it. so would i just add spearmint to my mix and thats it or do i need to add other things.
i have heard about sweeteners so unsure were to start, i have read many pages here but cant seem to find the answer.

all your advice is appreciated and thanx for taking time out to help me out.

Hi buddy, reading your post and so far your better prepared than me an iv been into diy for somewhere between 3 and 4 years lol

If your happy with 80/20 then I can see no reason to change the ratio, needles can come in handy when using syringes as I find its less messy than sticking your full syringe in a bottle of vg then dripping all over your mixing area when your trying to transfer it to a bottle, and as for the concentrates side of it you can buy all the ones you have mentioned in one shot concentrates from the makers of the juice, tjuice do red astire and chefs flavours do clear storm and vamp vapes do Heisenberg and so on.... They is also companys who have cloned recipes of these juices but not sure how they stand up to the original and spearmint you could vape on its own if you wanted to or mix it with other stuff they is no right or wrong way to use a flavour as it's all personal preference anyway and on sweetener you don't have to use it in any juice and I don't these days I have in the past when I have seen recipes that contain it but iv tried the same recipe without and preferred it

thank you both, now i have a better understanding i think, so by going what you posted i can pretty much add any concentrate with another untill i find something i like or try them on there own.
also while on the subject on concentrates what would be the best % rate to start these at, i was thinking something like 10% of would that be too high.

also looks like i have pretty much most of the things covered that i need to get me started and came across these.
would these be ok or do you have others which would be better suited.

You can add flavors to one shots but there really is no need . That's what you are paying the premium for , a fully mixed recipe.
If you want to blend your own you would be best following a few recipes before you start trying to make your own up.

I only bother using one shots as it's just easier imo. I normally mix them at 20% but have a read of the makers description and reviews and see what other people recommend. Do a small ten to twenty ml first and see what you think of it before do 500 ml if something you might not like
