Getting started...
submitted about 10 years ago by sof_1062

Yes I have read the FAQ and beginners guide. Thanks for your advice. I want to DIY. I want to get started but don't want to have to buy all my supplies from different vendors. I have also looked at the KITS. Is there anyone that sells all the flavors or the majority of the flavors from all the places? Like some DIY call for flavors from different manufacturers. Is there anyone that sells a good kit but also sells the flavors from all the manufacturers?

No kits contain common flavors. Avoid wizard labs unless you want to mix by volume only. Ecigexpress sells everything you'll need and has I believe 11 brands. Bullcityvapor I prefer though, and they have 8 brands and everything you need as well. Both of them sell dropper bottles instead of vials like wizlabs sells.

Do lots of people still mix by drops? I thought that was wildly inaccurate. Or is it a matter of dialing in how many drops equal a ml for the specific type of dropper bottle you purchased, and then sticking to only flavors and sites that sell the exact same dropper bottles?

We measue by weight. So i squirt as many drops as I need to in order to reach .36g. Counting drops would be inaccurate. But my preference is by weight as this means I dont need a syringe for anything other than my pg/vg. I mix in the bottle and tare it between ingredients.

Nice. I've been looking at and reading about scales and measuring by weight. I used to rinse out needles with a bowl of warm water between flavors... But that didn't seem to work very well. I guess you kinda need one needle dedicated to each flavor if your not going by weight

I got everything i needed (with multiple vendors of flavors) from ecigexpress.com was decent pricing and anything over 60ish dollars is free shipping. also theres a 10% off most items code (ELRECIPES) for using e-liquid-recipes.com

I'm confused but just slightly.

Is your question

"Is there a retailer that sells starter kits, AND sell a bunch of flavors from different companies"?

or is it

"is there a retailer that sells starter kits with a bunch of flavors from a bunch of companies?

I bought most of my stuff from www.wizardlabs.us, they have everything you would need, plus most, if not all the flavors from most vendors. I have also found their prices to be the most competitive. If you have read the DIY Beginner's Guide, then I would go by what they have listed there for starting equipment, and just buy it individually from WizardLabs.

I use wizardlabs when I want to order samples of flavors or when bullcity.com is out of stuff. I get all the flavors I need from bullcity and wizardlabs, BUT wizard labs charges ALOT for their pg/vg; essential depot sells 4 gallons of pg/vg for like $66 shipped. I know you didn't want to buy everything from different vendors but you will be paying a bit of a premium if you your pg/vg base from wizardlabs. Sadly I was unable to stick to just one website since the more popular flavors sell out frequently from site to site :(

Edit 1: Also worth it to note that if you order flavors from wizard labs you will need to order some pipettes. Bullcity comes in plastic droppers and will not require pipettes to transfer to your juice recipe :P

Good luck though mate!

True, if I was trying to buy larger bulk, but as I am new myself, I just got 250ml of pg/vg and it was cheaper then anywhere else I could find.
*Edit I just looked, and maybe I was being lazy about using one site, but you are right on the BullCity pricing :P
