Gee frequents this thread quite a bit and has posted a brilliant guide. Have a search back through this thread.
Actually, just found this. I'd saved it when he posted it:
It's better if you get it all seperate personally mate.
I'd highly recommend you pick up a set of scales and mix by weight as opposed to volume, it's a hell of a lot easier and you hardly have anything to clean up.
Scales - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ME8VI34
PG/VG and Nic all from Darkstar Vapour - http://www.darkstarvapour.co.uk/
Concentrates are a personal choice, I mostly use FlavourArt, Capella and TFA (The Flavour Apprentice) - http://vapable.com/. Just take note that some contain known 'nasty' ingredients; Acetoin, Acetyl Propionyl and potentially Diacetyl. For the record FlavourArt (FA) use NONE of these ingredients. Stay away from Flavor West concentrates!!
Bottles - https://www.ibottles.co.uk/products/...tubby-tip.html
I'd probably pick up 2 of these to hold your PG and VG. 250ml ones are 45p each - choose the 24mm Natural Nozzle and Captive Cap option.
Recipes: http://www.lediypourlesnuls.com/ - http://vapingunderground.com/forums/...id-recipes.50/ // depends what type of flavour liquid you're after, but I'd probably look at making some fruit ones to start off with, they require very little steeping time (usually shake & vape!). I made this the other day which I'm currently vaping right now and it's lovely.

That should be everything to get you set up mate, if you need any help gimme a shout.

One thing I found was that my flavour mixes were not that great so I ended up buying some pre blended flavours which turned out, so far, much better. 
Just mixed up 300ml of red astaire at 3mg 80/20, smells incredible. Will run a tank of it tomorrow! If I like, while the 40% off is on, I may as well order a few hundred ml's of concentrate 
I got bag of cotton pads (144 I think?) back in April 2015, I've just pulled out the last 5 pads

Send me a trust if you need any tips dude, happy to help.
Red Astaire is what TJuice are known for and what I'd recommend, but their Jacques Le Monis really quite nice too, possibly a bit of an acquired taste but I think it's lovely!
I've seen lots of virals on social media lately about how vaping causes popcorn lung.

What percentage of concentrate did you use? I should have a bottle of red astaire arriving today, thanks!
That does sound rather nice, big fan of friut+menthol mixes, will grab a few bottles of concentrate and give it a blast!

I mixed it at 20%, its a really really deep blood red, flavor is very good at 20%, though I suspect anywhere from 15-20% will be fine. I mainly went with 20% as I got 60ml concentrate, which is 20% of 300ml - I'm a lazy mixer

Anybody got any alternatives to DarkStar's premixed unflavoured E-Liquid Base base? Placed an order with them on 8th December which still hasn't arrived. Been communicating with them but since Thursday last week total comms blackout. No answer on their phone numbers either 
Not looking good especially as on their site, there are no products listed under Unflavoured E-Liquid Base either where there was before

Flavour West put ridiculously high amounts of sucralose/sugars in their concentrates. They also don't have any testing certificates available with regards to Diacetyl/Acetoin/Acetyl Propionyl.
Ever had a juice that gunks up coils in a couple of days? That'll be the added sweetener/sugar.
Flavour Art is my go-to concentrate manufacturer, but I also use TFA and Capella.

Don't bother with a pre-mixed base. Get your Nic/PG/VG separately.
You'll get a much more consistent mix and won't be tied down to a certain ratio.

Just waiting on my mix your own kit arriving soon, going to try and create my perfect flavour, plus have it as a little hobby too. Done plenty of reading up on it so looking g forward to having a go.
Loving the lost fog liquids too, all seem to be great flavours
