I use the 30 drops= 1 ml rule like we did back in the days of filling Cartos. I mix my flavors in the bottle I am making up then add the PG/VG Nic mix 1/2 full in the bottle, shake well then add the rest to fill bottle with shake room, shake again, slap on label and vape So easy and about zero clean up if you use droppers in your flavors.
Do you buy the nic @ 100mg or less? What pct do you use?I tried Real Flavors today and wow! Was not disappointed. Very different light true taste of the flavors. I'm hooked
As for mixing, I am one of the odd balls that still uses drops like the old days
Easier for me.
I have been doing that too. But I already had a lot of my favs already mixed up @12mg so had to reduce them to vape in the sub ohm devices. So now I have way too much that needs to be used up before I can really start mixing again.(except some of the new flavors that I want right now).I have 100 mg now, I was buying 60 before, but with FDA...., I vape 6 mg and 3 mg. Higher in morning lower in evening. What I do is make up batch of about a liter of ready mixed PG/VG Nic at my level. Then when I mix flavors my pre mix is already to go
Well, first what ejuice is it that you want to copy? Sometimes some of the members have already figured it out. If you could tell us what it is called and/or where you got it from or what the description is on the site you purchase from it will help. If that fails, tell us what you taste in it.

Off the top of my head I would say that the vanilla is probably a french vanilla flavor with vanilla bean ice cream flavor and with the ice ice in the description maybe even some koolada in it. TFA has these flavors as well as sweet cream flavor.(but I suspect the sweet cream is really the vanilla bean ice cream is what they mean)
I respect your method and am glad that it works for you; and for all the others that prefer to mix with drops. I will NOT try to change your mind or say someone else should not choose the method for themselves.As for mixing, I am one of the odd balls that still uses drops like the old days
)You and @Fozzy71 are KILLEN' me! I have been eyeballing this manufacture for the last 4 months. But I hadn't heard a lot of feedback so I have been able to resist temptation. You are making them sound SO GOOD! I have so many new flavors I should be working with. Where's my wallet? NO! I must re sist...Oh I think you will love Real Flavors, the exhale I get is so light, love it, and the Samoa cookie is really good
I was thinking along the same path. vanilla bean ice cream, vanilla custard (lower percentage background support and mouth feel; not foreground heavy)(though your french vanilla might be better for shake and vape), marshmallow and/or meringue (FA) if needed for texture, and a little brown sugar for just that little extra rich/sweet note. Deffinently on the koolada and possibly just a fraction of a percent of menthol if he wants the inhale/exhale cool; but I would start at no more than 0.25% as it could take the mix over quickly.
Looks quite extensive. I'm a little surprised at the lack of reviews attached to their flavors
Yes. Yes you are! You were trying to tempt me!
not sure if this is a clone of that exact recipe or not but I found a recipe named vanilla ice on a recipe site I can't name or link to:
and then the follow up to make it even easier. All you need after this is recipes and there are a ton of really good ones right here in the DIY section.https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blog-entry/follow-up-on-my-breaking-bad-kiss-method.7505/
I kept a lot of 10mL bottles from when I purchased my juice, just to have a playground. I'd rather throw out 10mL of skank for mere pennies per ml than to have to dump what could have been a month's supply of juice.
Try diyordie site for info and video on how to determine flavors/notes when cloning. Some great recipes on there as well.
Well said. I have tried all the methods and I simply use drops most of the time. Works for me, it is an individual preference. I had a scale, never took the time to drag it out and finally gave it away.I've posted these thoughts elsewhere, but I thought I'd throw them here for folks looking to DIY.
When I first started this a couple of years ago, I did count by drops - many of my flavorings were in plastic squeeze bottles with a dripper top. Then I got bored counting
And, I moved on to flavorings that came in glass bottles (not so easy to squeeze)
Along with the philosophy of drop sizes not being consistent, I moved to measuring by volume. Even that is not precise for me. I eyeball the measurement in a disposable pipette. Because MOST of the recipes I utilize are forgiving, whether I'm off by smidgen here or there IS OF NO MATTER TO ME. There will be those who swear the recipe isn't right if it's not measured PRECISELY. My taste buds are MINE (as yours all are YOURS.) Even when cooking, if something calls for a quarter teaspoon of this or that, my measurement isn't 100% precise, and *I* can't tell the difference. Since I'm the one vaping what I make (or eating what I cook) - AIN'T A THANG!!!!
Besides, recipes should typically be viewed as STARTING POINTS. (Baking - that's a slightly different animal; one needs to be more precise or the end result could get seriously skewed....)
SO, the long and short of this is KEEP IT SIMPLE. ADJUST to YOUR taste preferences. There are some dynamite recipes out there, but there are certain ingredients I like more or less of. I have to ADJUST.
I measure my flavorings into a bottle. I add *MY* amount of nic, and then I fill up the rest of the bottle with whatever base of PG/VG - I tend toward 100 VG. SO, I'm not even getting a specific PG/VG ratio because the flavoring percentages are different from recipe to recipe.
Some of you have allergies/reactions to different components - some can't tolerate VG; others can't tolerate PG. MAKE MIXING YOUR OWN. If you need a specific PG or VG level, be more careful measuring. I typically mix in 30ml bottles. Sometimes I end up with 28ml to the amount of flavorings; sometimes I end up with 31ml because I can't/don't control the PRECISE spot where 30mL lands in my bottles.
I rarely have borked a mix so badly that I can't vape it. The one time I did, I'd picked up a 3mL pipette instead of a 1mL - oooooooo, that was STRONG!!!!! So, what to do? Get all the other flavors back in proprtion; split it into multiple bottles and add more unflavored base. Easy-peasy.
As Mattie says, this isn't rocket science. If you're unsure you're going to like a result, don't mix a 100ml bottle on your first try
Sorry - got on a bit of a rant....
