Hopefully by the end of the summer my flav pile/collection will be a nice size. Its funny cus my wife always says i thought diy was gonna save us $. Hard to explain that it does on the cost of daily juice n coil usage. The collecting of gear and flavs is just an addiction. Lol
It can be a bit overwhelming at first, when you're amassing a collection of flavors and working out your process. From day one, though, I didn't order any more mass-produced juice.
Have been mixing for about a year, maybe a little less, and have 165 flavors in my ELR stash. I know already that I won't ever have 400-600 flavors, because I'm pretty happy where I am and find myself really not looking to add much. Occasionally something makes me curious or gives me inspiration, and so I'll make another order, and of course we always need to keep in stock on the basic flavors we use all the time. What I'm saying is that it is possible to save a LOT of money once you have your initial stash built up.
Those basic flavors make everything else possible, though. In my mind it's most important to have a good assortment of basics.
The other thing about the basics and bases is that, once you know what you're really going to use, you can buy larger bottles, which saves a lot of money per ml on both basic flavors and bases.
