Spydro, Papa and Sloth, as always you rock with clear and helpful info. I'm thinking I will do business with NN. I will be starting simple and making smaller amounts. (Just putting a toe or 2 in the DIY waters).
What do you put in your Reos ?

I usually use VG nicotine and PG flavors, and count them as part of the PG/VG mix. I use 100mg nicotine in VG, at 10% to get 10mg of nic in my liquid, and count that as 10% of the VG. If I use, say, 10% TFA flavor in PG, then that counts as 10% of the PG.
Acute Sinus allergies will not let me vape above 30% PG. Any more than that causes allergy irritation. so I have to keep a close eye on my percentages. I still use up to 30% PG as I find the flavor better, and strait VG just seems a little too much vapor.
So I guess I am mixing to my 'happy medium'.

Ok - I am full on into DIY again, moreso than ever before, and thoroughly enjoying the world of flavors again. This is fun 
I am curious what @Papa Lazarou and @Spydro use as their base. I've been doing 100% VG (literally) for quite some time with my unflavored. Back in the flavor game I feel I should venture into higher PG territory - perhaps 70/30 or 60/40 VG/PG - or experiment with DW.
I use 100% VG base only, with VG flavor extractions preferred. In part why I also prefer to mix extra bold/intense flavors. So I venture into the PG based flavors only when they are the only choice available. Now days I am extracting more and more VG flavors myself.
I mix to the flavour and the application. Mostly, I'm a 20/80 PG/VG guy, but I find some of my recipes require more PG than others so as not to be very muted (either that or a crazy %age of flavouring, which I'd rather not do) - say, 50/50 PG/VG. I also keep a couple flavours in 60/40 for "densely social" occasions - times when I'm around a lot of other people who don't vape and I don't want to draw attention to my vaping (eg, in the office, which is liberal about the act, but wouldn't be if we vapers were too ostentatious with it).
Was a boba's guy for 3 years...but now,Havana gold,cut with 100% VG 18 mg nic..I make 300 ml,using 1 100 ml bottle of Havana..that stuff is pricy,cutting it helps it go further...and oh so yummy...mmmm
Spydro, do I recall correctly you make your own coffee extract? If so I am curious what your method is. I tried once based upon some readings here in the diy forum but my results were poor. It would taste good day 1, but by day 2 or 3 would taste like old stale coffee.
Sloth... sent the info on how I extract coffee to you on the side. Papa is trying my methods, maybe he'll have some input.
