hi all, I started diy about 4 months ago and loving every bit of it.
I have been researching for a long while, and the last time I bought so called premium juice I bought 3 bottles at $20 bucks each and hated all of them, I thought of giving up vaping!
I thought how do I get into diy and still afford to vape? So I bought a 24mg/ml juice and some vg from a health food store to dilute to 6mg/ml ran home with 120ish dollars out of my $150 a month smoking fund and ordered 500ml pg 500 ml vg 60 ml 100mg/ml nic and 7/ 5 ml bottles, a few needles, and tuffed out the week or so wait for my supplies. During that week I realized even if I suck I could be happy with just a pg/vg/nic , fast forward 4 months, I now have 126 different flavors and do not miss trying to like something that I could have bought 2 packs of smokes, for the 20 bucks, and at least know the ashtray taste I’m getting,
anyway my real name is mike and i live in bc, Canada ....cheers all happy mixing!

Welcome and glad you joined.
I was curious on how much money I spent just these last two years. Less than $15/year for flavors, and I’m still trying new mix’s.

Good Day fellow Vapers. Name is Mike and hail from Alabama. My Vaping journey started back in late 2014 early 2015. I tried to kick my 2 pack a day 30 year old cig habit by using Vaping. It seemed to work for 6 or 8 months, unfortunately I picked up one after a very bad day and my 2 pack a day went to 3 packs a day. At any rate, i am vaping again and have put the smokes up again, been a whole week! (yeah)
I have been lurking in the recipe section for a bit and am amazed at all the recipes available and all the good folks who share and help! Looking forward to kicking the cig habit so I am counting on the elr family for encouragement and patience as I learn!! Much Love and many Thanks!

Welcome to the club 
Don’t beat yourself up if you pick up a cigarette, just don’t replace vaping completely when you have a weak moment.
Lots of people have been dual users for a long time before they finally kicked the habit.
The end goal is to quit, how you get there is of no importance, just keep that goal in your mind.
And maybe try a different nicotine level on those stress days, or a different mod/tank that gives you a little extra to get through the day.

Hi All
This community is a wealth of knowledge, have been vaping 12months and DIY for about 1hour now 
ordered some supplies 2wks ago and just done my first mix (4 30ml bottles) not my recipes but the ones from the great people here until I grow in confidence. 4 flavour mixes today.
Ill be buying a scale first thing tomorrow, using syringes just isnt my thing (Bugger all that clean-up). been lurking for a few months and signed up couple days ago. There is so much reading here to be done.
Thanks for the info you all have put here for newbies like me.
Another 1 for the Australian contingency on here.
Thanks All.
