What equipment do I need

centella4u · Mar 11, 2016

Okay, so I've been vaping for almost 4 years and bought tons of ready-made liquid. I guess it's time for me to step it up a bit.
I just ordered pg, vg and nic and getting ready to order some of my favorite flavor.
The question is ...l what else do I need in terms of equipment and such.
Please keep in mind that I don't live in USA anymore, so try to avoid pointing to the links for me to order since I don't think shipping and handling will be worth it.
Thanks all.

Just make sure you have plenty of syringes and bottles, or the easiest and cleanest way is to measure using grams so you could always buy a nice set of scales. There's not much more I use personally, but I'm sure others have some useful tips to help you out pal. I'm new to diy also and haven't felt lacking in equipment to make juice.

If you decide to mix by weight, you'll need a scale and the bottles you plan to mix into. Extra glass amber bottles to store nic in, if you plan to buy in bulk.

Several of us use a Horizon $15 bought on Amazon - just so you know that a scale doesn't have to be expensive to work well, as long as it measure to .01 grams!

Is the chainsaw used for mixing, or just for cutting the NIC base

That's too bad, I don't have any chainsaw, just a couple of these they're using at my coconut orchards.

You guys are both wrong - chainsaws and circular saws have no place in DIY! You will, however, need a Sawzall to shake your liquid once it's mixed...

LOL Don't let the funny guys confuse you

You can just shake up your mixes!

I guess if one's cat goes on strike (or are out of duct tape) that could work too.

I found it on sales for just over $10 in our country.

I think (but I'd prefer if a weights mixer chimed in) you're going to want to measure hundredths of grams, not just tenths.

oh, ok, thanks, I'll keep on looking then.
We have those at our factory but I kinda want to DIY at home.

I got my scale for $15 from amazon. You do want one that measures to at least .01
