Eliquid Recipes

[Kate]

Hi Seraph, welcome to the forum.

Colourings might or might not be a health risk, we just don't know and some of us try to not inhale anything unnecessary.

Sugars can clog your atomisers, I've not heard about them being a health risk, except for honey which might carry bacteria or something.

Alcohols aren't something I know much about. I happily vape eliquid with alcohol/ethanol present but I don't add extra myself. Some people have tried absinthe and vodka and said it worked well. Rum has been discussed and some people were worried about sugars or the potential for combustion.

I got my Lorann flavors and my VG in today. I just ordered the Lorann ones from ebay on Friday night!! Can't say enough good things about mn77sota. Very communicative and super fast shipping. I highly recommend him as an ebay seller.

I didn't have many free cartridges so I only tried out one mix. It came out GREAT! This is the type of yummy taste I was looking for! Here's what I used:

1 part Lorann Bavarian Cream
1 part Bickford Coffee
1 part VG

My partner suggests more cream, less coffee. I agree on a little more cream, but the more I vape it, the more I'm thinking the coffee gives it a lightly toasted flavor which is really nice.

The Sassafras smells even better than the Bavarian Cream, but I didn't have empty cartridges on-hand to try it. Hopefully tomorrow.

If I may interject for Barb.

You really...REALLY don't think you're addicted to nicotine?

I'll say this; The placebo effect is a powerful one. You can trick the mind...for a time.

Wait until your nerve endings start going nuts, though. The changes you experience when your dopamine receptors start starving will, most certainly, change your mind.

Unless, that is, you're smarter than thousands of doctors, world-wide.

Terraphon, I think I will put this to the test this weekend....I usually use a nicotine juice between 24-36mg,but mixed up a nice batch of DIY no nic liquid with a great throat hit and great taste. I will start vaping Sat morning with this only and see what happens.....just glad I have a bottle of Pure Menthol 36mg on standby The Wiz!

Let us know how that turns out.

I know that, even with smoking 24 - 36 mg stuff, uncut, for the first week or so, I was still having mild cravings. After about day 7 they got REALLY bad for a few days but I just manned it out.

I'm hearing that the increased cravings may be due to the OTHER crap in cigarettes.

Man, I'm glad I'm off those things.

I hear you there....I had quit for a month before discovering e-cigs...puffing away on a nicotrol inhaler...I really think there IS something to "The nicotine addiction"(so my doctor said), I will let you know what happens though! The Wiz!

Hi guys, im new to the forums. theres a wealth of information here that i have been tapping into and i have learned so much its almost ridiculous.

i recently bought the evo, and am waiting for them to ship it from the uk to the us. i doubt ill get it within the month, but im already thinking about starting off with DIY fluids.

am i right to assume that the actual commercial suppliers like totally wicked, puresmoker, and johnson creek use PG and VG with very little else added?

i read in a thread about PG that "Nature's Flavors" dot com sells both PG and VG. i didnt read that they were suitable for this application, and no one corroborated that they were okay but here are the names: (i would link but i dont think im allowed to just yet)

Glycerine (CAS Number: 56-81-5) Food Grade
Propylene Glycol (CAS Number: 57-55-6) Kosher

both are one gallon bottles, and im wondering if they're pure enough. it sounds like they are. but at 20 bucks US a gallon, i will have plenty of e-fluid to last me until i give it up completely. im just hoping its the right stuff for the job.

i found these .5oz bottles "6 1/2 oz Amber Boston Round Glass Dropper bottle" on ebay to mix in.

The plan for me is to get flavorless juice and mix with lorann flavorings. and cut with VG and PG if thinner is needed. keep in mind, i havent even gotten my first e-cig yet, its just exciting to think about.is there anything i am missing?

Great to be a part of the forums, Cheers! and THANKS!

Hi bobbertonIND

Yes... both of these will be just fine:
Glycerine (CAS Number: 56-81-5) Food Grade
Propylene Glycol (CAS Number: 57-55-6) Kosher

They need to be food or pharmacy grade. I know you'll have so much fun making your juices.. and the LorAnn flavors are soooo yummy! Be sure and let us know which ones you make.. and how you like them!

[Terraphon]

I think you're wrong to assume that commercial suppliers use PG and VG with little else added.

There's quite a bit that goes in to the liquids, as far as I can tell. Essential oils, distilled water, nicotine (naturally), PG or VG, some form of anti-oxidizer (from some manufacturers) etc...

The list of ingredients on the side of the bottle I have from TW has 16 items listed. Granted, many of them are the flavorings but a lot of them aren't.
