Review: DIY E-Juice Kit from thebrokevaper.ca
submitted almost 9 years ago by slackerdan

Hello everyone, and all my best to you. First a big thank you to this great community and all the helpful suggestions about mixing! This board is an invaluable resource for learning how to make your own juice, certainly one of the best (if not THE best) on the 'Net. So I'd like to give a little back with this review about thebrokevaper.ca DIY e-juice kit.

Last Friday I ordered the DIY kit with 15 flavors. The price was $90, and I paid $15 for shipping. The package showed up very fast, this Monday in fact. And I've been having great fun mixing my first e-juices :)

The kit comes with 5 10ml bottles, 5 30ml bottles, 2 120ml bottles, gloves, graduate syringes, 500 ml of VG, 500 ml of PG, and 60 ml of 48mg nicotine. The option to get premixed PG/VG at either 30/70 or 50/50 is available, as well as 30 ml of nicotine concentrate at 100 mg. All ingredients were fresh and top-grade.

The flavors are in 10ml bottles and thebrokevaper has a wide variety of flavors from all the main suppliers such as TFA, CAP, etc. I've already ordered 10 more... I suspect when someone gets into mixing, they get a serious jones to expand their flavor library. I know I am!

All you really need to own already is a digital scale. A small funnel is handy when adding ingredients. Besides a clean spot to mix, you're good to go with the kit.

I mixed up a couple of recipes already, as helpfully suggested in the monthly DIY thread. They turned out great! I am very excited about mixing more e-juices and learning as much as I can about the art & science of excellent flavor creation, and this kit has certainly helped me get off the ground.

All-in-all, you can't go wrong with ordering this DIY kit from thebrokevaper.ca . Danny, who runs the business, was most helpful with my questions through email, and as noted, he gets orders out immediately and they arrive fast.

I'll make future posts as I progress along the e-juice creation path. Again, a big thank you to everyone in this community, your recipes and suggestions really fuel my enthusiasm. And cheers to Danny at thebrokevaper.ca, you got a great kit offer. Thank you all and vape on :)

Unfortunately the shipping to Canada does not make it worth it

Additionally, the chances of nicotine being confiscated at the border..

I'm not sure what you mean by Graduate Syringes but this isnt even offered in this kit, it used to have pipettes but he switched them out and offers those 2 120ml bottles with yorker caps now

Probably meant graduated syringes (markings on the outside showing the amount).

You lucked out. I got nothing for measuring in my box, and it's been a pain in the ass to get. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it was like that. :(

Go to your local pharmacy and ask for "dosing syringes". I pick them up often from walgreens and/or cvs. 10ml, 5ml, 3ml, 1ml all with graduated measurement lines.. A few of each free any given visit.

Even if you're not prescribed any liquids?

I'm in Walgreens often for this or that (live close to one) and yeah, just swing by the back counter and ask.

Yeah I did this when I first started. But mixing by weight is the only way for me now.

i mix by weight too, i still use a syringe for my nic tho since i got nude nic armor v2. i love that i don't have to worry about getting a bunch of air in the bottle since i just shove a needle in it and draw instead of opening it and using a pipette.

I live on the Canadian border... If there were enough people near the peace bridge I could make a couple trips across a week for people.
