it seems so, single base flavors are the ones to start off with, you will then be able to adventure to complex and exquisite multi mixes.
keep it up and pace yourself you should do fine mate

I bet strawberry and vanilla cupcake will be yummy together.

Looks similar to my first order. Have fun!

Thanks. It's not a huge order and I wasn't sure what to get. Hopefully I didn't leave out something super important.

Welcome to DIY. I just got into a few weeks ago, and I can almost guarantee you are going to have fun with this.

Your order looks about like my 1st order did. Once you've made a few samples, you'll be adding lots more syringes to your next order. John always throws in some plastic pipettes for free, but I've never figured out how to use those without getting tons of air bubbles in them. But I have weak hands from medical issues, so you might fare better with them. I think the syringes are way easier, faster, and more accurate. I use more of the 3ml size than anything, but you will find all sizes useful.

Single-flavor juices are easiest to start with. I have the vanilla cupcake flavor, and it tastes pretty good by itself. So mixing it with strawberry should be delicious. Single flavors I've made that I find delicious are: apple pie, watermelon, pineapple, juicy peach (tastes like a real peach), pear (tastes like a real pear). BTW, I add around 5% EM (10% PG solution already made but you can make your own) to almost everything I make -- I like my vapes on the sweet side.

Here's to your sucess!

Thanks! I am excited to try. I figure with those flavors and additives I gave a couple combinations I can try.

I WA looking at the peach and pear, I'll have to pick those up next time

+1 on the pipettes for me as well. I collect them even though I do not use them because I hate throwing things away

If you're reusing syringes, I saw someone suggesting putting tape on the numbers so they don't rub off because of the pg/vg.

Ecxellent advice. I was looking into glass syringes for that reason but they are pricey.

Good tip! Thanks!

If you don't mind me asking, how much does a DIY startup kit such as yours cost? How much juice can you produce?

Looks like a great start! Let us all know how it goes for you, ok?

There have been a few cost-comparisons posted here, but just to give you an idea. I've paid anywhere from about 50 cents/ml to $1/ml for premade juice. My DIY juice costs less than 10 cents/ml.

Your biggest one-time cost will be for your lab equipment, mostly syringes & bottles. PG, VG and nic solutions are really inexpensive. Flavorings start at $1.49/8 ml from WL, a little more from other vendors unless you buy big amounts. Then it gets even cheaper.

On my first DIY order I spent under $25 (I was broke at the time). I made enough juice to last me about 2 months, using approx. 3-4 ml per day.

Hope this helps.

 

[eeevilyn.]

This order cost me $39. That is including shipping.

I don't know how much juice yet, sorry but I think quite a bit.
