Reddit reviews Glycerin Vegetable - 1 Gallon (10.75 lbs or 172oz net wt) - Non GMO - RSPO - Sustainable Palm Based - USP - KOSHER - PURE - Pharmaceutical Grade - safety sealed HDPE container with resealable cap

If you buy even 5 30mL bottles a month of premium juice, just use that money at the start to BUILD A KIT. Don't buy one, they all have shit flavors that will turn you off to DIY. Almost all nicotine vendors sell diluted nicotine that you can just mix with flavors, but it's not a cost-efficient purchase. If you want to save money, buy 120mL of 100mg($19 at nudenicotine) nicotine and dilute it yourself. A gallon of VG is $14.49. Find a few recipes with good feedback here and order the flavors for them from bullcityvapor, gremlindiy, or ecigexpress. If you don't mind the extra work, and want to save a bit more, buy syringes instead of a scale, and clean and reuse the syringes.

I have a few recipes I could give out, [VG and PG are on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Pharmaceutical/dp/B00PSGWHIO/ref=sr_1_13_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1524904013&sr=8-13&keywords=vegetable+glycerine). and excigexpress is where I buy all my flavors. You also need a beaker set, .01 g scale, syringes, medical gloves, glass bottles for steeping, and plastic bottles

Edit: links

Just get it on Amazon homeslice. Essential depot is like 29$ a gallon incl shipping with prime

To add to what u/juthinc said:

Don't get a kit.

LB-501is pretty much the standard for scales. 500g max. .01 increments, and no auto shutoff.

I use essential depot for vg and pg, but it's more or less the same thing you'll get from diy shops if that makes you more comfortable. As long as you get the kosher shit you'll be good.

I find chemnovatic nicotine to be the highest quality, I get mine from vaperstek. I buy the 120ml 100mg nic in PG, then divide it into 4 amber glass dropper bottles when I open it. Keep it in the freezer.

For bottles you can search Amazon for 30ml / 1 oz ldpe dropper bottles for a smaller quantity, I buy in bulk from heartland vapes.

You can go to Amazon and buy from Essential Depot. Their VG is pretty good quality and you can get a gallon for around $28 and a quart for around $13 with shipping included. Sometimes these guys sell "Cube boxes" which will include 4 x gallon sizes of VG or PG for around $60-80 depending on the sale price. But you can find them on Amazon here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PSGWHIO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use Essential Depot on Amazon they are top notch. Super cheap. Ship crazy fast. I only found it one time at Wal-Mart and used a small bottle. Aslong as the proper grades ans safety checks are on the bottle you'll be fine!! Hope that helps.

Hey man, I would love to help you quit smoking and didn't notice the first time I commented that you didn't have any experience with vaping. So I'm going to try to put together a list here of what you need to do to start vaping for very little money.

1. A mod. I am suggesting this mod because it is very simple and fairly cheap.
   
   https://www.vapordna.com/Joyetech-eGo-AIO-All-In-One-Starter-Kit-p/egoaio.htm
   
   This is another option for you.
   
   https://www.vapordna.com/Eleaf-iCare-All-In-One-Ultra-Portable-System-p/icaref.htm
   
   I love my Icare, but you will need to use high (24-36) mg ejuice with it, whereas with the ego you would need 12-24 mg/ml.
   
   
2. Eliquid making basics.

   OPTIONAL: flavoring. If you want flavoring just ask in a reply I'll let you know what to get based on your tastes, but it's not necessary and you're trying to go cheap.
   
   This is the recipe for making flavorless, 12 mg juice.
   
   http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/1240996/For+cheapos
   
   You can make an account at that site and adapt that recipe to be higher or lower nicotine if you want.
   
   I know this seems a lot more expensive than the Ryo cigarettes, but trust me, this makes like a year or two worth of liquid and the mods I suggested have really cheap coils. Please believe me, this is worth every penny of the investment, you will never regret it. If you need help with mixing your first batch of eliquid, go to r/diy_ejuice and look at the new mixer thread in the sidebar. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me, but comment it cause I don't get message notifications on my phone app.

I came here to tell you to order VG from Amazon. I got a gallon for about $13, but it appears that the price almost doubled (I was going to provide link).

Does anyone know why VG price increased so much?

Edit: Link with new, almost doubled price. Was $13 _ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PSGWHIO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PSGWHIO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

$18.00 per gallon with an additional $9.00 for shipping. If you order two, its the same $9.00 shipping. So comes out to $22.50 each delivered to my door. I have found a few better deals on occasion but I like the square jugs and how they fit my shelves.

1g for $27 + shipping.

Or 1g for $35 with Prime free shipping.

Or $18+$9 shipping.

I started mixing back in January, and here's the list of the items I got off of Amazon to get set up:

• Scale
  
  
• Vegetable Glycerin(VG) Originally I just bought the quart size, but wound up needing a gallon fairly quick. If you're mixing at any ratio of 70VG/30PG or higher you will too.
  
  
• Propylene Glycol(PG) I'm still on my first quart, and I've mixed a LOT of juice! I'll probably need another here in the next few months, but until then I really don't have the space to store a gallon of PG.
  
  
• Pipettes Great for adding nicotine to your mixes and for those flavors that don't come in bottles with droppers.
  
  
• Small Mixer This little beauty works great for mixing directly in the bottle. Sure, shaking your mixes is fine, but when you're doing multiple 50 ml or 120 ml bottles, shit gets old REAL quick. The plastic wand is the secret. It's got a split down the middle which allows the two halves to spread when it gets up to speed. All I need to fully mix is 15-30 seconds of this at full speed and the bottle is well homogenized.
  
  There's a few incidentals, such as nitrile gloves, eye protection(You do NOT want nicotine in your eyes!) paper towels. Bottles! How could I forget bottles?!? Again, Amazon to the rescue-just head over to 510 Central's storefront They've got some of the best HDPE bottles on Amazon-Nice and squeezy but firm. If glass is more your thing, I'm sure there's a bunch of those on Amazon too.
  
  Here's a little tip I use: When mixing, put your VG and PG in some condiment-style bottles(I picked up a couple at a craft store in the candy making dept) When you're mixing in small bottles, it saves time and mess to pour from a squeeze bottle than a syringe. Syringes and VG don't work too well-It's like sucking snot up a straw.
  
  I'm also going to say head over to /r/DIY_eJuice and read up on mixing. There's a TON of great info in the sidebar-READ ALL OF IT. When you get ready to start mixing, pick 2 or 3 recipes that sound good and buy the flavors for those. It's a lot easier and less expensive than buying a slew of flavors that sound great but don't play well with others. Enjoy!

You're going to pay like a thousand bucks for that much bubble solution, plus shipping and handling. My advice would be to pick up an empty drum, a couple of buckets of liquid detergent, and a gallon of glycerin; and make it yourself in your back yard. You'd be looking at more like $250 plus shipping (particularly, you're going to save S&H on 400 pounds of water). There's lots of recipes online but you'd generally be looking at 1 part detergent to 6-8 parts water, and 1 part glycerin to 12-16 parts detergent.

I would avoid eBay, you can grab a gallon from Amazon of Essential Depot for $7.20 more, get double the amount (1 gal vs 1/2 gal) and have it shipped free same day (with Prime). This is what I bought last month, no issues. I tried a liter first and was also fine.

Or like /u/afflaq mentioned, if you are looking for more, 4gal comes in at $70 direct from Essential Depot.

EDIT, I believe the same day shipping is $35 on Amazon, so grab a few 8oz bottles to store it in for use.

Honestly, don't. Skip any starters as they are all generally over priced. Just buy things separately.

Amazon:

VG


Scale

30mL Bottle if you need some for concentrates, nicotine, VG, PG, etc. Or just to put your juice in.

Cheap Pipettes

Never used nor heard of it. Just get this.

Yes. The flavors we add to our e-liquids don’t make them safer. What you linked is probably safer than anything flavored juice on the market.

It’s pretty expensive though. 4.4¢ a mL vs. 0.66¢ per mL

I got everything separately.. Now I know I should have gotten my flavors and nicotine from wizard labs, but I ordered nicotine from nude nicotine and flavors from TFA's website. Also don't get a pack of flavors, just pick a couple of recipes you'd like and order those flavors. Here is a shitload of VG for sale on amazon. Grab some syringes, and glass dropper bottles while you are there and you're ready..

EDIT: You'll also need some bigger syringes or a graduated cylinder..

I would read the sub for a couple of days, make sure to look at the top posts and search some stuff you think of.. I really wish I would have done that before I just bought a bunch of shit.

I'll hook up bro!
Use ecig express to order Flavor Concentrates and bottles
— Use ELRECIPIES for 10% discount

Use The Flavor Apprentice/The Perfume Apprentice for Flavor concentrates
— Be sure that they are made for ecigs
— Better than ecig for bulk orders

Buy vegetable glycerin, and syringes from amazon
— Buy a gallon for bulk
— Buy 10ml, and 1ml syringes
— Buy Tupperware or something to contain 16 oz of liquid to steep ejuice

Buy nicotine from Nude Nicotine
—Purchase “Smooth” Nicotine salts

Hmm some of those things aren't really necessary and there isn't enough VG/PG to last a while. I would recommend you piece together yourself everything you need and mix by weight. At first I tried mixing by volume but that was inaccurate and my mixes sucked. Here are most of the supplies you'll need.

VG

PG

Nic - I use Vape Clarity nic myself but their warehouse is being rebuilt after a fire so they're not operational until the end of the month. Here's an alternative I saw in the DIY subreddit.

Scale - Make sure to get the 500g one so that it measures out to the hundredths place.

I use www.bullcityvapor.com to get all the flavors I need in one place.

For bottles, I've just been rinsing out empty bottles my friends give me.

I don't bother with gloves but I use very diluted nic so that's not an issue for me (might want to use them if you have anything over 36mg/ml nic).

Here's the calculator I use and a tutorial.

Shipping with kill you. It is always expensive on VG.

If you have Amazon Prime, this helps greatly: https://www.amazon.com/Glycerin-Vegetable-Kosher-USP-Pharmaceutical/dp/B00PSGWHIO/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1493876395&sr=8-2&keywords=vg

All the grams - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PSGWHIO?psc=1

If you're going to ingest it, you should be buying USP/food grade as well. Drank a some of this and a shitload of Pedialyte to rehydrate for a grappling tournament after the morning weight in, post cut.

1 tsp = ~6g

Amazon Prime: Essential Depot VG, 1 quart, $12.97

Amazon Prime: Essential Depot VG, 1 gallon, $23.47

Ya actually $25/gal is hard to beat!
