My wife and I are super broke right now and I just ran out of VG tonight, I'm almost out of nicotine, and I am out of most of the flavors to make the juices we prefer.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to get at least some VG and nicotine for really cheap?
If you can reach the $50 minimum for free shipping, River Supply Co. is probably your best option.

Precisely, you can get 500ml of 100mg, a gallon of VG and about half a dozen flavors for $50 with free shipping.
If you can't afford that, get a small bottle of 48mg that can ship fairly inexpensively via First Class Mail and pick up some USP VG at Walmart.
If you're in a genuine tight spot, you can limp to the next gas station, so to speak, on a bottle of drugstore USP glycerine and a 30ml of high-test unflavoured (like 24mg/ml). Yes, it's more expensive per millilitre and the last thing you want to do long-term, but it's as little out of pocket as you can get in a pinch if there's no-one handy to spot you something.
Diy juice making is one of those long term saving deals, I've found. I just spent 80 bucks on nic, pg/vg and flavoring, but it's the first time I've spent that much in two years, and it'll be another two years before I drop more money on anything juice related. While shopping I did look for cheaper/smaller bottles of nic, but unfortunately the smallest I could find was a liter.
Some shops have little nicotine packets for cheap that can be used to punch up the nic in a bottle, and if I'm not mistaken walmart has VG, which is dirt cheap everywhere. I hope that helps.
To make it even less expensive, I like to keep a running laundry list of mixing supplies, then place large orders during the holiday sales. They are big enough orders to get the free shipping and the holiday savings.
I buy my nicotine from nic river, and get my PG and VG from amazon, it is great quality, very reasonably priced and you can get as larger as you want or just a small bottle, up to a 55 gallon drum. I will include a link so you can check it out. https://www.amazon.com/Propylene-Glycol-Gallon-KOSHER-Pharmaceutical/dp/B01K8UB5VO/ref=sr_1_10?crid=DKOXAA5IN8Y1&keywords=propolyn+glycol&qid=1581171174&sprefix=propolyn%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-10 That is for a 1 gallon of PG for $25. If you need any help or need anything clarified please dont hesitate to ask, I would be happy to help in any way I can, best of luck to you. Happy vaping
Where do you live?
Texas
I'm in Texas and have more juice mixed than I'll ever be able to vape. Might not be what you want to vape, but it's better than nothing, and if you're anywhere near me, you're welcome to it.
preface: I’m offering helpful advice to help you get the diy supplies you want/need
Rather than buying inferior products to get you buy in the short think about what you’ve already done a year ago and think big picture. Spend a $100 or so and solve the problem for another year.
So you don’t have a $100 to spend on diy supplies like last year...
From personal experience what I’ve done when money was tight and I needed/ wanted something. I’d jump on Craigslist and look at the help wanted and find as many gigs to work until I had the money. I usually busted my ass and put in some long days but I got what I wanted out of it. If your physically capable carpenters and painters are always looking for labor hands. If that’s not an option you have access to the internet and so many ways to make that extra cash at your disposal. If your stuck I’d be happy to help you out more. Just ask.
Man if I’m ever tight on cash I’m doing this. Never occurred to me to just check out Craigslist help wanted.
If you're near a Walmart, you might check online to see if they have any VG in stock, if you need that right away. I found some USP (which is what you're looking for) VG for like $4 for 7 ounces in the first aid section (although I hear in some stores, it's closer to the skin care section) . It works pretty darn well. I like Heartland Vapes for nicotine, as it tends to be pretty cheap and I find that it's pretty decent stuff IMO. For flavors, I use Bull City Flavors. They aren't the cheapest I've ever seen, but they're pretty fair across the board, and if you end up doing one of the community flavoring packs, you get a neat discount on all of the juices needed to make one of those recipes. I hope you find something that works for you =)
https://liquidnicotinewholesalers.com/ has the best price I know of on vg and pg , the even carry vg/pg blends 70/30 is what I mix mine at they have 70/30 blend 1 liter and 1 gallon
As well as straight vg and pg .. not a fast option but future reference
If your out of juice many shops have clearance boxes .. I once ran out on a road trip .. i forgot my bag of juices at home .. all I had was half a tank on me .. found a vape shop that had clearance juice for a couple bucks for 100ml bottle .. 6mg nic . even found one I really liked .. found clone recipe and mixed more at home
