What You Need to Make the DIY E-Juice

To get started, you need to purchase some kit. However, you will make money back through the savings. For a start, you need the following four components:

Vegetable Glycerine (VG): they constitute the bulk of the e-liquid. To begin with, half a liter or a full liter will usually be more than enough to start out with. 

Propylene Glycol(PG): you will want a bottle for this if you are are not wanting a max vg blend as PG will thin out the juice and is often good to mix with non sub ohm devices, 260-500ml bottle is a good starting point.

Nicotine: For a better vaping experience, purchase high-quality nicotine. 48mg or 100mg is safer for starters to buy. Keeping in mind that you can get this in a pg or vg blend.

Flavor Concentrates: They determine the taste of the e-juice. For this reason, you can purchase a combination, per your preference. Most flavoring is PG based so you will want to make sure you count for that in your pg/vg ratio

For the actual mixing process, there are some components to purchase. They include scales, syringes, beakers, labels, e-juice bottles, and storage bottles.
