DIY poor people style
submitted over 10 years ago by eatordie13

So I'm trying to get a buy list down for my first order, I'm really struggling to find a list for people like me on a tight budget. Could someone link me to the bare essentials, I pretty much only vape Nana cream or clones. Could this be possible on a 60 dollar budget? If you guys could help me out it would be so awesome!

If you're on a budget then go to wizardlabs.com. You can get everything from there. I would suggest Amazon for PG and VG though. You get a lot more. Look for the "essential depot" brand.

You do not need 4oz bottles of flavor. get the flavors you need in 30ml, Dragonfruit is used in a small amount you could even get by with 10ml. Get Liter of VG and PG unless you want high VG.

I find high VG to be a pain in the ass and not worth it, especially if you are starting out.

You didnt say what % you vape, I vape 6%, a small bottle of 100mg nic will last quite a while. Try and get everything from one place, like Wiz Labs. The shipping total will be less than $10. If you cant get citric acid, use lemon juice in a pinch.

Now I am going to commit heresy and get downvoted but who cares. If you cannot get Lorann Banana Cream get another one from the vendor that you got everything else from. Fuck it, it will still taste good, just not that 100% Nana cream flavor. I never use Lorann personally.You should be able to do this under $60 easy.

It's still not a 100% nana cream taste

Yea and the guy only has $60. I said it's not but fuck it's close enough. You just love telling people they are wrong in the Internet don't you.

Since he's new I just didn't want him buying Loranns banana cream thinking that it was what was keeping it from being a full clone. Know what I mean?

I think you misinterpreted here... What I got out of /u/iamgr3m's post is that the Nana Cream clone is not a perfect recreation of the original, regardless of which banana flavoring you use.

4 oz. 100 mg/ml nic from nude nicotine ~$13

4 oz. Strawberry TFA ~$6.50

4 oz. LA Banana cream from TBD Liquids ~$15

4 oz. Dragonfruit TFA ~$7.27

60 mL Citric acid from Nude Nicotine ~$10.83

1L of VG from nude nicotine ~$13

Total: $65.60

You can also pick up a couple syringes from wal-mart for a couple bucks

Yikes, 4oz is way too much for each flavor.

And forgetting about shipping.

I don't order anything below 4oz unless it's really cheap and I just want to test it out. It just isn't worth it, otherwise. 4oz will cost you around $5-15, but each 30ml will cost you $4-8 or around there.

Same here. Once I feel familiar with the 15ml I go through I head straight to 4 oz. I'm lazy and make my juices in bulk so 15ml won't make 2 batches.

Ehh, I have so many flavors. I rarely finish off a 30ml of a flavor concentrate, heh. And I thought I vape a lot ;D

The tfa flavors have shipping averaged in. 4 oz. for me is about the perfect amount, enough to sustain you for months and about the same or a little more than ordering two 15 mls.

Not really. I've gone through 8oz of dragonfruit pretty fuckin quickly. I'm on my 3rd 4oz bottle of strawberry. Bulk from tfa is the way to go.

That nicotine is a lot more than $13 after shipping. Actually almost everything listed is missing shipping prices. The good news is that you can find citric acid a lot cheaper at a local health store although you would have to suspend it yourself

I was under the impression that the citric acid was removed for the good tasting clone. I made the one with the citric acid and it was barely palatable.

You are correct fizz did end up taking it out. Citric acid is pointless imo. I haven't used it in months

Walmart also has 4 oz bottles of USP VG for less than $4.

If only recommend going this route if you're just trying DIY out or you're in a pinch. It costs 3x as much as a liter per ml.

Edit: added a few things for clarity
