Newbie to mixing : one-stop shop?

[davetherayon]

It's time to take the plunge methinks into mixing... the plan is to get all the hardware sorted in one fell swoop, along with enough PG/VG/nic/flavourings to get me started... reason being I have to take time off to be in for postie, so ordering the lot from one vendor would be favourite. It'd be nice to lay in enough kit to scale up to making a month's worth of vape at a time... without being stuck for that ONE item that wasn't in the main pack. What do you folk recommend? Bearing in mind the likely cost of course.

I'm not sure it's even possible. I was hoping to do the same earlier this week and ended up buying from 6 different places because no one place had the lot I was looking for. You'll definitely have to buy from 2 or 3 at the very least and that's provided you don't mind paying a bit more in the one spot than you would've in another for certain items.

I'd say it depends what you want and how much you care about not getting the cheapest of everything. There are a few with a fair range. I think LF probably has the widest. VapeEscape is popular here and sells most of the basics.

These have a good selection

Rom's thread here is a great guide for DIY Vendor's:

Carrie at 28vapes has a brilliant selection of concentrates, I'd be inclined to look around for the nic base. Vapers Emporium is a popular place for that;

Both newdawn and I ordered this week,. and even with careful budgeting and searching we had to order from a couple of places to get the best deal? I think your best bet is price the most expensive part (it'll be the nicotine base) and pay a few pence more for pg/vg bottles from them.

In that case I'd probably suggest Vapers Emporium use SANTA25 for 25% off

This new thread might help? Dawn: sourcing for mixing Its topical on prices and spot on for costing 

[davetherayon]

Ok get ready, here comes the hit list...

vapersemporium ticket SANTA25

flavourart ticket UKV10
PG dilutant 100ML x 3
VG dilutant 100ML x 3
3 x protective gloves

All ordered and the total is... (gulp) £197! That does include a litre of base and 300ML of PG and VG respectively... and of course a bucketload of concentrates. The 25% off from vapersemporium had to be taken advantage of.

Now all I need is a week off work to play with the new toys

[Pepperty]

crikey Dave! lmao you sure know how to shop man ... impressive, mind ;p

[babs]

Ltecigs LT10 code has to be applied after signing in to account. Sorry it's a bit late for this order Dave but you might use them again

[chykensa]

Blimey davetherayon, that's one helluva shopping list!! Should keep you in juice for about 6 months!!
Seriously, with that amount of base and dilutants, the only thing you will need to buy for a few months is the odd flavour or 10 Happy mixing

[poochops]

Flippin eck davetherayon you don't do things by halves do you! Actually your a man after my own heart, if your gonna get in, get in neck deep that's my mantra

Enjoy the mixing, only thing you'll need sooner or later are some 30ml bottles. When you find your favourite brews 10ml bottles become a pain in the posterior. Actually I made 200ml of mrs poo's favourite recently

[davetherayon]

In a conversation with a vaper on a football forum (of all things heh) he suggested decanting 100ML base off into 30 ML bottles - so it wouldn't denature so fast. Now thats dedication

[Pepperty]

I've 2 100ml bottles bubble wrapped and marked "with death signs" in freezer. Cant imagine attempting to order in amounts you have I'm now fretting that I should buy amber glass....but shall see how I get on with bottle no. 3 first

Looking forward to my basic concentrates arriving, I'm primed and ready

[Pepperty]

From what I can gather there's you, me, newdawn and lairy all at same stage (ordered and primed) cant wait to see how we all get on

[davetherayon]

The one-stop strategy is good and dead for sure, but, a friend of mine has volunteered to be a human PO box so by way of a thank you I ordered him one of these (he's a heavy metal fan) :
