They forgot to talk about scales.

All hail the scale.

Because if you mix by syringe, Juice company markups don't seem as ridiculous. They don't want to blow the whole secret.

I don't really agree with their comment below:

You have to buy a bunch of flavors,

I did that at first and have a bunch i never used even after two years. Buy flavors that you know you need .

Agreed. Table full of stuff I ordered thinking I would combine and play with and really just end up reordering the same 5 or 10 flavors over and over. Me and girlfriend are also creatures of habit. As long as I can make her some vanilla cigar and me some blueberry custard all is right in the world

One thing I would love to see mentioned more often in these DIY tutorials is the benefit to using someone else's recipe to kick-start your own mixing endeavors.

I personally used some jackasses' recipe for something called "Cholar Bear" (at the time, he has since renamed it) as my launching point, allowing me to make an amount of DIY juice roughly equivalent to the retail cost of buying the juice with my initial investment.

I have been vaping the shit out of that recipe (and one or two more) pretty much exclusively for the last half a year or so, and it has given me the opportunity to branch out into creating my own recipes and concoctions.

Ooh, another really good point, especially for the dripper crowd that is taking it on the chin from retailers as they try to pay for their 10-20ml/day habit. You can get a solid vape out of a single flavor at 5-10%, a little bit of nicotine, and a shitload of VG. Imagine making a 4 ounce bottle (that's 120ml for the metric crew) of juice for around $2.50 US.

Cool to see vendors in total support of DIY. Of course, every juice line started there ;) but it is nice to see the support, especially from Bombies and Bigglesworth Labs.

Have to agree with /u/tranceinate though, FLV is the norm for Flavorah nowadays.

I've contacted the Bombies Office of Pedantry and Standards to have it changed ASAP
