Why do people mix their own juice? There are a few answers, including:- 1. Being able to have control over what goes into the juice you vape. 2. Cost, often huge savings can be made 3. Better product, flavour, exact nicotine strength you want (or 0% nic if you prefer) So, to give a worthy example to quantify that, I am giving away a recipe for you to try that is a favourite for many people. The image below shows my costings and breakdown, to make 10ml use the amounts in the 2nd from the end col. "Units ml"  This recipe calls for three flavours from the same manufacturer (a lot of juice manufactures may not like that I have let the secret out of the bag, but so be it). These flavours come from Cupcake World UK and are from their intense flavour range link here www.cupcake-world.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=144&zenid=5fbab383b7bb30fe14334e495fb59e38I use many different suppliers for flavours not just this one, but these are good. As you can see…. Total cost per 10 mil comes in at around 85p, and trust me, it is better than most you will buy ready made (but you will just have to try it to see for yourself). Enjoy |

Feel like giving that a try but I'm just getting to grips with how much flavour I need to add to single-flavoured juices.
What do you use to measure your ratios out in such accurate measurements, a small syringe?

After a few hit and miss attempts with syringes and not enough consistency I decided to look for a more consistent option, Im an ios user owning an iphone a mac and an ipad, for any member that has access to ios, they should look at an app called "LIQUIX", briefly (you can read the description) it stores any flavourings, pg, nic, vg etc and stores your recipes too, the reason i use it is it also gives the option to mix by the 100th of a gram (converted from mililetres by the app), also it tells you to the nearest 1/10th of a penny the cost, i didnt get it for frugality but the option is built in to give you cost. So, armed with a set of digital scales (jeweller type that do 1/100th of a gram - cost me £4.99 on ebay) i achieved consistency that was more accurate than doing it by eye/syringe. hope this helps. Here is the app :- itunes.apple.com/us/app/liquix-e-liquid-calculator/id515326978?mt=8I also enter any recipes by weight in a simple spreadsheet, should the app go corrupt. EDIT:- Thanks for the recipe Frogster, any danger of you linking those flavour places? |

I might get shot down here.
But if you aim at 25 drops to 1 ml and use drops for all measurements you wont be far off
