What equipment do I need for DIY Juice?

[MoFo]

I'm putting together a shopping list of items to purchase for making the transition over to diy juice. What essentials should I put on it?

Apart from Nic PG, VG, flavors:
syringes: 1ml, 3ml, and 10ml
blunt tip needles - I use 18 gauge for flavors and 14 gauge for nic, pg, vg
something to measure larger quantities with - you can use a pyrex measuring cup or buy some small measuring cups for up to 30ml quantities
some people would recommend nitrile gloves - I hardly ever use mine (to keep the nic off your skin)
glass bottles for storing nic in the freezer
bottles for juice - I use little 6ml vials for experiments

I'm sure someone else will flesh this list out further!

Brand new to it, so I'm taking the easy/lazy way for awhile. I'm just doing the drop method and ordering unflavoured nic at 12mg 50/50, so I don't even have to mix those ingredients.

I ordered a bunch of 6ml empty bottles, and a 14 gauge 6ml syringe was a must for filling those bottles.

And I ordered a BUNCH of FA flavours from Pure Vapes.

Thanks for the reply! Adding everything to my list, except gloves.. I like to live dangerously

That's not a bad idea. I had considered doing that as well, but I can save a little by buying 100mg. I need more monies for shiny things! How do you like the FA flavors?

I'm assuming that was supposed to take me to a post or sticky about things one should have for diy juice? It just takes me to the diy section of the forum though. Thanks anyway sir!

ya you'll save more buying 100mg, but even at 12mg I'm saving about 80% over pre-made. When I feel more comfortable handling nic I may advance to stronger mg.

I'm really liking FA. I've only been at it about a month, so I haven't tried a tonne of flavours, but the FA recipes I stole from other DIY'ers have been great!

I used my gloves (I must have a dozen pairs) exactly once, when I first used 100mg. I do mix it in a sink (well, usually) with the window open. I tend to be careless, and I know it wouldn't take much for me to tip the bottle over. But the window is open, and it's in the sink - and I have no little ones around! And I truly don't think it's a death sentence if you get a splash of 100mg nic - although I would wash it off pretty quickly (I hate that queasy feeling from too much nic!).

That's still a considerable savings, nothing to sneeze at by any means. Nice, I've heard a lot of good things about FA. Some of there flavors will definitely be on my list. I've got to find some decent recipes. I really like fruit and desert flavors, but enjoy some custards and a menthol once in awhile.

I've got some hazmat gloves if need be, lol. I'm not too fearful though, I delivered fuels, mostly gasoline, for the last fifteen years...nicotine is far more pleasant. I'm not certain that I've reached the queasy stage, and I vape like a fiend, but yeah that's never a pleasant feeling. I will be using your sink idea! Thanks

Will do! That name is familiar, ecf perhaps? I'm going to be checking out the recipe lists over there as well.
