DarthVaper Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I am interested (finally) in DIY e-liquid, and I am wondering what members have found in terms of savings doing DIY versus purchasing pre-mixed e-liquid. Totally Wicked is now offering a sale on DIY items (this week only), so I'm also curious about anyone's experience with their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufin Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Interested in knowing this, too, but judging from poll results, doesn't seem like others are. DarthVaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Me, neither. I'm still in the tinkering with my juices stage. Haven't made the jump to total DIY. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufin Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I know, LOL! Was it something I said? Don't know.......did ya fart? Must be a secret. Just dong some basic math, the savings should be quite significant. Plus the control I'd have with flavors. And, the convenience of not having to buzz around looking for the "right" flavor guy. On the other hand......I'd have noone to blame but myself ......... I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 You might want to ask the question over in the DIY section since it's a pretty limited poll. We don't have that many active DIYers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthVaper Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Okay, how 'bout I simplify the question for all those here on the DIY forum who are currently doing DIY e-liquid: DO YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE SAVING MONEY, YES OR NO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard46304 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I'm just getting started in diy, in theory, you should save alot. I figured buying juice cost me anywhere between 40 cents and a dollar per ml depending on the vendor, I think I figured less than 10 cents to diy per ml. The start up cost of it is more if your buying equipment and stuff for the mixing like I had to. Edited October 28, 2013 by wizard46304 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMEDICx90 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have saved in making my own juice.... But I still buy other vendors liquids to try and see what else is out there. I know I won't ever be able to replicate some of my favorite juices so those I still buy (vanda, pluid, m4, bobas) but any savings I have really gleaned from DIY has gone back into mods. So that's probably my lack of discipline lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
