You don't need a kit. But diy isn't something you can try without spending money.

Flavors that you need for mix, Elr.com is a great place for recipes
Empty bottles
A couple plastic syringes for measuring, I've have a 30ml,3ml and a bunch of 1ml that I don't use.
You can spend about 50 and get the essentials. Part of my cost was a digital scale. Most of the kits have what you need but also have things you won't use. So it may be easier to just buy what you need. Bullcityflavors.com is where I get everything except nicotine. They don't carry it but myfreedsmokes.com has nicotine. It's actually tough for someone to sell you a starter kit. Easier to just buy it yourself. So you can get what you want.
