DIY eJuice thread

Hey all, new user here. Nice to see a big Irish vaping community!

Anybody else make their own juices? Been at it about 6 weeks and saving so much money.

I've only tried out The Flavour Apprentice and Capella so far but I'm happy with most of the concentrates.

I figured I'd make a megathread to help everybody vape cheaper and try offer my experiences!

I've been buying VG and PG from Irish vendors (that I found on here) but the postage seems to be the big killer. Any good brick and mortar places that sell vape-grade stuff?

It's made how much you can save at the end of the day. Since I got my Kangertech Subox Mini I've been using the RBA they include to make my own coils and I love it. Every little helps

The best bottles I find are from Pick'n'mix, love their 100ml dripper bottles. They're the easiest to mix in, because they have wide openings, you can just free pour your VG in there to top up after adding the nic and flavourings. And easiest to wash also - the stickers tend to peel off of them easier than any other bottles I've tried. their 50ml bottles are good too, not as easy to work with as the 100ml.

I whipped up 2 simple Greek yogurts this morn. GYO-A, and GYO-S, one is apple, one strawberry, simple, and good. Vaping the GYO-A right now, half hour after mixing and it's good already.

Have you those recipes up yet,love those Greek yogurt mixes.

Speaking of Chefs flavours..

I got the 5 x 30ml pack of bottles and the spouts don't fit. Ordered 2 packs so left with 10 x 30ml bottles without spouts

Emailed them last week and heard nothing back.

chipfox

Will chefsflavours ever have full stock? I just flat out refuse to pay postage or spend 30 pounds 2-3 times!! I just got an email that they had yellow cake back in stock and it's not in stock! Sometimes they have 10mls and 100mls in stock but not 30ml! WTF guys come on

Thecageyone

I don't do one shots, but that's a generous offer. Good stuff.

I AM OUT OF VG!!!!!!

Damn it, this should never happen ...

DARK-VHM for 10% off in Darkstar also

BTW Darkstar have 3 One-Shot concentrates available too

Postage is the kicker €7 to get the kit posted to me.

Can get the concentrates and other bits from them for €15 and get 250ml pg 500ml vg 100ml 72 nic from darkstar for €14 plus whatever the p&p is. Probly about €30-€35 all in

The starter set would have been nice but at roughly €38 incl the pick10 discount seems like if be throwing money away

Have i missed anything id need?

Thecageyone

The kit is ok, better to just buy the stuff separately I think. Sadly the Irish vendors are way pricier than their UK counterparts, never mind further afield. But for a start up it's the safest bet. Once you start up, trawl through this thread for tips on where else to buy and what to get, or just ask again

Extra VG will of course stretch it out for you. If you're mixing 30/70 every 100ml of VG is going to produce around 130ml of juice, and you'll use very little PG each mix as all your flavourings will be PG too.

Yup, old bottles are fine, so long as you give them a good hot wash out.

lankz92

Couple of quick questions guys, think i might take the plunge and get into mixing.

Is the starter kit from picknmix an okay starting point?
Also since i prefer about 30pg/70vg would i be right in thinking if i bought an extra bottle of vg it would make a fair bit more?
And one more maybe silly question, is it okay to use old bottles i have?

Vaping King have released some oneshot concentrates of their juices. Never tried them but heard some good things. 10ml only.

VK10 for a 10% discount - and they ship to Ireland for about £4. Might be worth a try for some

btw the discount code DS35TFA still works in Darkstar - 35% off TFA flavours - I worked out with the exchange rate, delivery & ParcelMotel I got the 30ml TFA's @ €3.30 each

Need to restock my concentrates so im compiling a list for a decent sized order.. now that e-dym is no more where would ye recommend for this to get best value? Darkstar are fine but mostly 30ml bottles and selection is limited.. chefs vapor?

LOL - I swear I was visualising a cardboard shoebox

Wonder if we could do a group buy on sheds

I actually do use a shoe box for extras

but the main one is nice and fancy schmancy, it's bigger than a standard shoe box, much sturdier and has 3 divides/4 sections. I do separate the concentrates into classes that way at least [creams/custards, fruits, additives] type thing.

A shed would be ideal for having them all on mini shelves. Tellin' ya I'll have one some day! Course, I want one that they deliver and build for you

I have a tin box - yeah one of those that you get a load of sweets in at Xmas time.

It can be a bit of fishing for flavours but on the other hand it's light proof and seals mostly air tight, I've also thrown in a few of those little moisture collector bags so the air is always dry.

I have a box, it was a Newgrange crystal wine glass box or something, stuffed full of concentrates. It's neat, but when looking for a certain concentrate it can be a bit of a fish in the pond hunt. I might make up something like this at some point.

Yup, I was topping up my basket on there earlier, and tried that code. I hope it stays until I complete ... as in, have the funds to buy what I want
