I want to try what you suggest. I will buy the Carolina Tobacco super concentrate from Vaping zone. What else should I buy? I vape more PG than VG. I'm pretty sure that the V9 Carolina was 70PG/30VG.

You can get your nicotine juice in a variety of pg/vg combinations. Shouldn't be any problem finding a 70/30 base.
The problem is more like to be that it will be too strong without diluting it. I think 24mg is the weakest they have on MyFreedomSmokes. If you do buy it stronger you will need to dilute it with PG and VG.
The calculator mentioned above is free and, as oldude said, easy to use. You just plug in the strength of your base, the desired strength of your final product, the amount you want to make, and it spits out the right numbers in milliliters or number of drops to use.
I use a 30 ml syringe with a big blunt tip needle on it for the base, the PG and VG, and the flavoring. I don't feel the need to be too precise, it comes out fine. If you're mixing flavors, I'd imagine a smaller syringe would be a necessity.
The bottles will cost you more than the juice. I buy 30 milliliter bottles with glass droppers for $1.25 each.
Hope this helps!

My ADV is peppermint or any minty vape, but I have been vaping about a 50/50 mix of peach and Jamaican rum and it's quite tasty.
Asbestos4004, I tried your recipe, except I used vanilla custard v.2 and for the other flavors I used Capella flavors to avoid the diketones. I'm sure yours is smoother and creamier, but I like it and will probably use it frequently.
Use to be into non menthol for close to 40yrs tried many different flavors ry4 etc all were boring and or sweet.
Last 3/4 years been DIY and only vape 1 kind -Tobacco express - tobacco additive its a concentrated flavoring and use 2-2.2 % with high%pg and a few %of vg plus nic thats all.
I am doing a new butterscotch and am pretty happy with it. But my "go-to" is not really just one, it depends on the mood, too.
Looking for flavors, I looked to my likes in taste for other things. I have a Chocolate Glazed Donut and a Chocolate Cookie and one of them is pretty much always done steeping. I guess I like chocolate.
I wish they had an MLT (mutton, lettuce & tomato). I could vape it while watching the Princess Bride.
Life just isn't perfect, I suppose.

Right now I have so many flavors in stock I am having a very hard time trying to figure out what to vape next! Wait I should post this the that other thread huh?
+1 for unflavored. I hit a wall DIYing; and nothing was sounding good. Out of shear need to support my nicotine habit, I mixed up some unflavored (PG/VG/nic) base at my usual levels, figuring I could always add some flavoring once I got motivated. Turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.
It has just a touch of sweetness. I never seem to tire of it. My taste buds don't get burned out. I don't vape excessively because I am graving the flavor. And, when I do vape something flavored, I find it much more satisfying; it has become like a treat. I always have two set-ups within reach. One with unflavored; the other with something flavored. I still find myself reaching for the unflavored 70-80% of the time.
I now feel more free to mix as the mood hits me, and I can mix in smaller amounts (15-30mL), without worrying about whether I am going to get tired of it, am I going to run out, and how long will I have to wait for it to age. I may mix a different flavor once a week, vape on it for a day or two, and then I'm good. I may then, reach for something completely different that I had previously mixed (I usually have anywhere from 4-6 different recipes mixed up and hanging around), or mix up something new. Whatever I do; the pressure to have "that" ADV is off.
I vaped for 3 years commercial juices, and that gave me plenty
of time to know what types I liked and what types I didn't like.
My diy stash of flavorings are full of tobaccos, coffees (especially
espresso types), apples, caramels, and peanut butter. Then I keep
other stuff such as sweet cream, marshmallow, graham cracker,
etc. to mix those with as I get in the mood. A light mint to switch
things up a bit sometimes, of course chocolate goes with anything.
I'm good. =)

Here's the video that got me started. It's the one that Drewbacca96 suggested uptopic . It just looked way too easy and once I tried it, it was.
My go to is peanut butter, or roasted peanut (depending on the brand of flavoring) Unless it's berries or citrus, I usually add a touch to most of my mixes and, I do like it with just a hair of sweetener and nothing else too.
My ADV for the last 2 years I've been DIY has been Hangsen Desert Ship 4% and RTS TA 2%. I also vape HS Highway and No5 in the same percentage with the RTS TA. Sure glad I bought 500mls of RTS TA when it was available cause its been out of stock for much too long. Same with the hangsen tobacs, they are harder to find the good tobac flavors and the 50ml original packaging concentrates have disappeared. The flavors will remain around but the tobaccos are the ones that are going to vanish once the hammer falls. I'm glad I stocked up to the point of hoarding when I had the chance last summer.
I vape all those and add tobacco absolute sparingly and only when a tobacco flavor fails by itself. Highway and No. 5 seem to vape fine without the TA for me. Some of the other Hangsen flavors usually need it. Tastes vary, but I seldom go higher than 1% TA in anything. Usually I start at .25%. Mine is from MFS and is marked as a 10% dilution. A little goes a LONG way! It's grainy and fairly thick. I have to shake it well before use or it's way overpowering. I probably need to fill the air space in the bottle with PG to thin it.
I won't say that I add TA if the standalone tobac fails. I vape all the HS tobacs by themselves and like them, its just the grassy taste that the RTS TA brings out that I like the most. Garuda TA also has that grassy taste too. I have cut down my tobac percentages over the last many months cause now I may have a limited supply and foreseeing what to do when I begin to run out along with making builds last longer with less ingredients.
I haven't really looked for another tobac vape for ages and with a MFS TA search in here I'm going to give it a shot since I came up with a grassy/hay flavored TA.
I hope that MFS accepts a different billing and shipping address, thats a issue that I have come across with some US vendors not accepting my Canadian CC using a US shipping addy.
I want to NET but getting leaf in Canada isn't easy and so far non existent. Buying broken cigars like I did with my first NET isn't cost effective enough to repeat. US leaf is sure costly with all the added costs I could be paying on top of the shipping and exchange.
Now that I've had another look at acquiring both leaf and tobac concentrates I'll prolly be cutting my tobac percentage down even further to get as much mileage as I can out of the stock I have.
TA for me puts the tobacco cigarette sensation into some otherwise boring cigarette flavors. I like nutty or slightly spicy ( but only a hint) flavors. For the most part I like light flavors just because overly strong flavors can get unbearable before the tank is empty. There's been lots of times that I mixed something up based on other's suggestions and ended up cutting it 50/50 with unflavored nic base. Most of the time that turns out good because I get it fixed and end up with two bottles of good vape juice. A couple of times they have been flushed down the drain.
That sounds good!
RTS Vapes, My Freedom Smokes, Wizard Labs, Bull City Vapors, and lots more.
I've seen those flavors recommended A LOT. I need to order me some.
Both sound good. I love peppermint. I hate the actual candy. But, I love to vape peppermint.
I was very upset when they discontinued TFA Tobacco Blend. It's such a simple plain tobacco (TA, PG, and a tiny touch of sweetener). And, it makes a great tobacco base to add other flavors to.
I read some of the info about TA, but got overwhelmed at all the variations. I guess I need to investigate again. My stash of TFA Tobacco Blend has about run out.
