Ive decided to have a go at mixing to try and save on the monthly ejuice bill. I mainly vape a mix of a few premade liquids. Virginia, Basils custard, Aniseed, Fruit combo (Sherwood mix or black magic). So ive had a bit of a read here and am putting together a list to try and make as many of these myself as I can.
Still unsure about what im getting so can you look this over and see if Im missing anything like additives etc. that I may have overlooked.
Base liquid PG Nic base link VG base link PG base link
Flavours CCW Aniseed, custard, forest fruits
I wont even attempt the Virginia flavour so was going to get the LT flavour link which I think is the one that I get already mixed.
Im a bit stuck on where to get Vanillin, French vanilla deluxe, Ethy mytol (not sure if that's spelt ok)
Also Am I missing any other additives that I will need to make the above work? Any other advice would be welcome.

I'm not too up on additives hijack but liberty flights have PTA French vanilla deluxe and ethyl maltol crystals and have a massive 35% bank holiday discount postage is really cheap too. I ordered 4 PTA concentrates Friday received them yesterday £6.56. I believe vanillin is mostly from ebay or amazon.

The code is BigBHBonanza hijack. I've already posted a link to FVD & EM so you should be able to find them on that page.

You might want to save a bit of money and get your VG from a chemist. Boots and Superdrug both sell 'Glycerine' (same thing) for about £1.30 for 200ml - it works perfectly although you will need to either get a 14 gauge needle or simply use a syringe without needle, as the VG is very viscous. You could dilute with distilled water at 10%, but personally I don't bother You seem to have some good links above, it might be worth trying some T-Juice or Pink Spot 'one-shot' concentrates too, they will be ready to vape after a couple of days!

Thanks Perpetua & babs Just what I needed. I wanted to try and keep costs down and trying to work out what I could get where, and match price and postage costs Liberty flights it is then Ill check them out for the base as well. Perpetua After the results from the 'custard challenge' I was going to try and do your mix using CCW custard, and whilst I was looking I saw the aniseed and fruit mix so I thought I might as well try those out as they seem to work out a lot cheaper than the 10ml flavours from LT. The one I don't want to try and replicate is the Virginia as its the only tobacco flavour I get on with, so ill have to get the LT flavour and make with that.

I used the 18% code for LF in the end and got the FVD and EM from there and dropped in some syringes and needles as well. Going to get the bases from vapersemporium as even with the £6 postage the 100ml of 72mg is £12 and £4 for 500ml of VG seems reasonable. CCW is the weirdest of sites, you can add to basket but there is no check out option, going to call them and see if im missing something on how to order.

Try Amazon for the CCW flavours as postage is £1.95 for as many bottles as you want. CCW site is quite expensive for postage as I recall, because the postage is worked out on weight........................Sue

It's odd for sure hijack . . . pop something in your basket and the shopping cart summary will be on the right hand side of the screen once you've added something to it. Click on that and you'll be taken to Checkout out, there you'll be given the option of logging in or creating an account. Then you can carry on shopping, or checkout. When you re-enter the site, you have pop something in your basket again . . . go to checkout and log in. For the life of me I haven't found a log in page elsewhere on the site. I thought that might be the case with your VC mix . . . and CCW's Forest Fruits is very nice I think, mixed at 25% nothing else added, it's lovely for my tastes.

Thanks Perpetua Ive just finished ordering everything as I was out this afternoon. I took sue1952's advice and got the CCW flavours from amazon for the free postage. Im glad you have tried the fruit flavour, because I wasn't to sure about it, that makes me feel better knowing someone's tried it and its ok. I ordered some vanillin powder as well. Can you tell me how its mixed gr per ml? After I ordered it I saw that LT had it in liquid form so I got a 10ml bottle while I was getting the Virginia flavour from them. I should be set up to make 1250ml various flavours now but ill start with a 30ml bottle of each to try first.

Good luck with your mixing hijack it's a doddle ! You will wonder what all the fuss is about waiting on my nic base from vapors emporium as the 250ml were out of stock last week but it's arriving thurs just raided liberty flights and leisure liquid for custardy mixing supplies Need a change from red Astaire and after having demolished the bottle I received from markscuba in a few days a while back I must make some !!

After blowing more on supplies than I would spend in 4 months on premade, Im hoping it goes ok.

CCW aniseed is ok but there is an odd taste to it that I don't get with other aniseeds. Its good to mix from 5-10% LT Tobak is a very nice tobacco flavour and on par with f'arts Golden Rollie imo.
