Always wear rubber gloves when working with any nic over 60mg and have good ventilation and away from kids and pets.

Put your VG and if necessary PG bottle in a cup of hot water 15 mins. prior to your DIY session this will help thin the viscosity a great deal.

As the old saying goes, Plan Your Work, then Work Your Plan.
Know in advance what you want to accomplish in a session, and lay out everything you will need in advance to do that one thing.

If you use pipettes always check to see how many drops per ml you get from them and if you change brands check again
Check, and if your juice calculator allows it (EJuiceMeUp does) when you've made a new recipe, SAVE AS and give it a clear name, that you can identify. You don't want to accidentally create your ultimate flavor juice, only to realize you don't know exactly what's in it!
Also, when you DO have a collection of recipes - BACK IT UP.
At least one poster here lost all her recipes when her computer died!

(((((((Dawn))))))) great contest!
after 2 years diying...... I just finally found the perfect setup for my flavors...
a plastic case thingie like you use for tackle whatever that has the slide in things to partition. I broke off the top. It is big enough for all 200 of my flavors and I can see all the flavors and section them off the way I want to. fruits, nuts, bakeries, etc.
it makes it lots easier and I don't have to pick up each one to find the one I am looking for.

The best thing I've learned is to make a quantity of diluted Nic base.
What I do is take some full strength Nic then I dilute some of it down to create a bottle of my preferred Nic level. I usually make a 30 mils worth of Nic dilution.
I usually only make a 5-10mil bottle of juice at a time, so now all I have to do is squirt in my Nic dilution and add flavor. Easy Peasy
Now I'm not dealing with high concentration Nic liquid every time I make juice. In turn it will also minimize the full strength Nic from too much exposure to air which will degrade it faster.

Safety first. Gloves, ventilation and making sure your children and/or animals can't get near your diy stuff.
Steeping can be your best friend! Flavors can go through a world of change over some time! ... thanks Dawn!!
If you buy Humco VG at a local grocery or drug store, it needs to be thinned to flow properly for vaping with 10-15% water, preferably distilled.
Thanks for the contest Dawn!!!
Thanks for the contest Dawn!!!
Once you fnd a recipe you like, pre-mix a bottle of the flavor & label, I also premix a batch of nic
This way if you need to mix up some quickly it's a quick mix
Thanks Dawn, again you rock!

When I make juice I mix quite a few flavors all at the same time. Each flavor is made individually with the same VG, PG, and nicotine ratio. For instance one bottle is pineapple and one bottle is coconut. Later I will mix some of these two flavors in a separate bottle to make pina colada. This way I can adjust the flavor by simply adding a little more coconut if the pineapple seems to strong or vice-versa without having to do algebra.
I know it has been said....But....Start small....You don't want any big mistakes....
Do not use sugar-based sweetners as they will clog your atties and cartos. Splenda or Stevia works good.
I dont know how to DIY but im trying to learn so this thread is gonna be awesome just to read through
The only semi DIY's I have tried is adding VG to pre mixed liquids with high a pg and nic content. Gives the liquid a nice thick consistency and more vapor production in addition to lowering the nic. These liquids are highly flavored so the dilution works for me. Would love to try some real recipes. Thanks for the chance
Since I already won last week's contest, can I play for somebody else? If I don't hear back, and I win again, I will jsut give the prize to somebody else in this topic.
