Decided to buy a kit tonight but which one please?

[nottmlad]

The alchemists have two kits currently £23 ish and £37ish the dearer one has extra 50ml of nic and few more bottles is it worth paying the extra?

How much actual liquid will I end up with from this kit? Of course provided I actually can vape what is made

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

Much cheaper to buy bits separately

100ml 72mg nicotine pg or vg 15.00 vapers emporium
1ltr Pg ebay roughly £8
200ml Vg 1.29 from boots

then syringes and bottles can be picked up for pennies (why did autocorrect change that to penisses lol) from ebay.
nitrile gloves are cheap enough for a full box
concentrates I get from chefsvapour

Depends on strength of nic base you buy and ejuice strength you want to make.

[nottmlad]

I prefer 20mg for strength, will look into buying those items tonight then and see what the price comes up at, what strength nic juice should I buy?

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

54 or 72mg

I would agree with the comments above, buy separately and you will end up saving money with more to show for your expenditure. You also buy what you need, rather than someone else's idea of what is necessary.
72mg nic is more expensive, but you use less of it per mix and top up with the other base ingredients which are much cheaper, so you are able to make more for less, if you see what I mean.
Ebay is great for PG, and your local pharmacy is good for Vegetable Glycerin, which is fine to use - just check the label to ensure it is 100% VG with no additives.

Thanks a lot, how do I know what syringes I need though? Every thread seems to have a different method my brain is in melt down lol.

[rednutt]

I made this mistake and bought 18 gauge needle. Too thin! Get 14 gauge and I also bought 1ml 5ml and 10ml syringes.

[masteedman]

Boots vg any good to use? it's cheap as chips for 200ml also found flavouring in asda made with pg..

[Perpetua]

Like rednutt, I use 3 sizes of syringe nottmlad . . . 1ml/2.5ml and 5ml. Anything under 1ml in measure then I use drops, working on 30 drops to 1ml. A small measuring cup and that's me pretty much sorted. Mainly I mix 10ml at a time, the occasional 30ml of a few favourite flavours so I've no need of large syringes.

And I don't bother with needles, for anything as I find them too tiresome to bother with.

There's a mixed lot here for £1.99 with free postage:

All good with Boots VG, a lot of us use it masteedman, it is quite thick, so you may want to dilute it to make it easier to handle, but it's not essential if you're using a PG Nic base.

The only problem with supermarket flavourings is that they can be quite weak in strength, so you'll find yourself using more to get a good flavour.

Chefs Vapour are one of the many Vendors who have a fantastic range of flavours:

I bought a load from the alchemist.flavouring smells lush and I do like a heaver vg 50/50 or 40/60 poor coils lol also just started rebuildable coils,gives me time for steeping lol

[masteedman]

Also the flavouring are made in the USA so will give it a trial
