So im completely new to DIY and am stumped to shit. I think i overloaded on information, and now cant decide on anything lol. I did the math on getting 1 liter of vg, 450ml of pg, and 240ml of premium nic from vaperstek and it seemed somewhat steep at $75, i figure from weight shipping and everything, does CVS or anyone carry VG or PG that i can use?

I know when I've ordered pg/vg the shipping jumps higher for sure. For nicotine I would definitely use them, it's worth the price. Do you really need 240ml though if you're just starting out? 120 would probably last you quite awhile. I can't help you on pg/vg. I'm in lucky situation where I can get pg/vg locally from a b&m for good prices. $15 a liter or $25 a gallon. (gallon being the cheaper choice long run). Good thing on that is I don't have to pay any shipping.
Essential Depot has a one gallon pg one gallon vg for about $44 but that includes free shipping. I'm sure there are other places too. Just be suspicious of any off the wall sites with too good to be true offers of course.

Essential Depot. If the gallon deal is bigger than you want, you can also get smaller sizes through Amazon with Prime free shipping.

Humco VG at CVS or Walmart works too, but is a little more costly.

Agree, 120ml of nic is more than enough unless you are supplying multiple peoples habit.
120ml last me about a year and that's about it's shelf life

Thanks everyone for the quick responses! I went with the 120 of nic and ended up getting 2 500mls of PG/VG from liquid barn. I heard the essential depot bases started getting a funny taste longterm, has anyone experienced this? @Huckleberried yeah vaperteks shipping is free over $75 but my total came out to $61 plus $12 tax. I would've gotten more but they didn't have the quantity of flavors I wanted, for that I went with bullcityvapor

I've never been able to hang onto 4 gallons from ED (my usual order) longer than a few months, it's been fine taste-wise but the shipping costs are murder. Lately I've gotten my bases from Nude Nicotine, but only because they let me pick up locally - they're otherwise too expensive, especially considering shipping, but the nic is about on par with Vaperstek in my experience, and VT is the only other nic I'd ever consider using.

For small amounts I used Rite Aid VG first starting out, but it was expensive at like $6 for 377 ml if I recall correctly...

@OBDave Yeah I would have rather gone with VT for my nic, everyone's reviews on it sound great. But I ran into troubles on the site and my order wouldn't process..
