It's a fairly involved endeavor. I recommend you read the DIY e-liquid subforum thoroughly: DIY e-liquid - E-Cigarette Forum
The most important question is why you want to make your own liquid.

Gallon? Just how many ml of juice do you go through per day?
One gallon is about 3785 milliliters.
If you go through about a dram (little dropper bottle) a day, then that's
almost 3 years worth.
I think most folks that "mix" their own buy unflavored nic juice a little stronger than they normally vape, some PG, some VG, and some flavorings.
Maybe something like this:
3 30ml bottles of PG based 36mg/ml tobacco flavor that you like
1 16oz bottle of VG,
a handful of 1 dram flavors, from maybe Lorann,
maybe a 16 bottle of PG,
heck, toss in a 100ml of 60mg/ml unflavored.
That would be a good start and give you a 3 month supply.

search for one of the "calculators" on the forum.

What place sells it by the Gallon? I've been using Xtremevaping.com and the max they sell is 1 liter bottles.
You can buy propylene Glycol(U.S.P) at almost any feed store or at online vet supply's for around $20 a gallion- it is used to prevent and treat ketosis in dairy cattle.
It's cheap that way - but unless you have 20 or so people who wanted to share it it with - I can't imagine using that much -

I buy PG or VG from perfumers apprentice in 32 ounce bottles for about $12, I assumed the OP was talking about unflavored nic juice not just PG or VG.
You probably right - I just could'nt imaging wanting a gallon of nic juice for non commercial purposes - She might want to save up in case of FDA ban, but nicotine degenerates fairly quickly from what I understand - so it probably would not last long enough even for a large household of vapors to take advantage.
I found the plain eliquid on VaporRenu.......It already has the nicotine then I am under the assumption that you just need to add flavor...it is so much cheaper....
The problem is that nicotine does not keep too long - I have heard 18 months - so one person could not smoke that much.
Look at the DIY threads. You can buy flavoring many places -right now I use the 'One Stop DIY Shop' mostly. Depending on the flavor and the maker and your own taste you may want to add anywhere between <5% to >30% of a flavor to your liquid. Then depending on the sweetness you may want added sweetener (there are only a few that can be used, I prefer ez-sweetz). And then comes mixing flavors. So you see it can get complicated. Check the link Purevapes listed to the DIY thread
Thanks for all the info.....I just checked out the one stop dyi shop!!!! Looks promising!
I sure hope that you take PureVapes advice and check out the DIY forum on ECF. Lots of great info that really helps, and warnings concerning some potential dangers when working with higher concentrations of nicotine.
