Considering to mix own juices

[esmecullen]

As I took the plunge into atty wicking and coiling and have now succeeded I think the next logical step is to try mixing my own

Looking at the threads here I think I can do this.

What is the best way............ should I try out one of the starter kits that I have seen on my internet searches or just go ahead and get the equipment and ingredients needed from recommended suppliers and ebay?

If you can cope and be succesful after all the recent trials and tribulations . . . you can mix Esme.

But, I would still maybe suggest getting a starter pack for your first steps even though it works out a little more cost wise, however the experience and confidence it will give you to go on to bigger things, will be more than worth it.

James does a little beginner's kit for £10.99

Callum has a slightly more ' advanced ' kit.

Anyone know where I can buy tobacco leaves which haven't been sprayed with millions of chemicals?

I'm thinking of steeping them then adding my own flavours.

Sorry to highjack your thread, Esme, and good luck with the mixing!

Many tobacconists stock and sell organic tobacco I think..I have seen some on the shelves in glass jars too..

No probs booblay

Perpy.......... both kits look good, may try Jimmy's small one and take it from there, just thought it would be a good standby in case I ever got short...... at the mo I've enough juices to float a boat lol. Shall have a further look and decide over the weekend

If I can do it Esme anyone can just make sure you use one of the calculators and I prefer a syringe rather than the pipettes I haven't done any complex flavours and so far so good
A couple of flavourings I have bought have shocked me and its not cost me much to try where as I would never have bought a bottle of the flavours pre mixed so its good to test some of the flavours your not sure about.These 3 flavours are now my favourite vapes

There was someone on Ebay selling them Boo, although I can't find a link now . . . found this, although I don't know how you'd get on importing them.

Or, you could grow your own.

Cheers. Found American Spirit and Pueblo tobacco, both organic......guessing I just chuck a load in with some PG/VG and let it steep, maybe adding flavours and nicotine?

not actually mixed by Esme... just the idea for the flavour... it was a competition James from PV ran on the forum a while back

I just tried to follow this link and found I needed to sign up, did that and found I still need to go through hoops just to be able to view it.
I give up!
