OK, so I'm gathering up the courage here, but not rushing into anything. At this stage, I'm in the "asking dumb hypothetical questions" phase, so if you don't mind humouring me whilst backing away into a corner and making excuses about needing to wash your hair/having an appointment I'd be extremely grateful.

Suppose in the early days of mixing you make a blend, only to discover that it's missing an ingredient you don't have?

Let me put this another way. I only actually really like two flavours: Vanilla custard and peppermint. Three, if you count plain vanilla, but that's a second choice. I can see, however, that if I just buy PG/VG and those flavours, I may find my mixes are missing something. A sweetener may be necessary, I can see that, but what else?

Forget the nicotine base, BTW, I'm going zero nicotine here.

I don't want to find that I've made a mix and it tastes pants because it needs a certain something that I didn't buy in the first place. OTOH, I don't want to buy 1001 ingredients I don't really need. If my courage grows or my tastes change, then I will, and of course, there's always the classifieds on here to pass or sell on anything I buy that's useless, but if I can make sensible decisions (with your guidance) in the first place, then maybe I can avoid this.

I know I could follow an existing recipe, and if that's the advice, then fine. I'm just worried that if that recipe isn't to my taste, then I may still be missing that other ingredient which may make it better.
