    DIY e liquid vs Big Box Retailers

    It is my understanding that oils should never be used for vaping. I would do a little research on this.

    New vaper. Just bought a few flavors. Need suggestions.

    Banana ripe will rip your face out if your not careful. Super strong. Ate a divot in my scale when i didn't clean some of it up\.

    My brief DIY experience.

    I don't think there is a single TFA flavor I use above 10%. But that's just me and my taste.

    Yup, like I wrote in the OP if you do the VG last you can just fill it up if you are using batch sized bottles which I almost always do. And I agree that repeatablity is more important than accuracy.

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    My thoughts on mixing order: I mix flavors, nic, pg, vg. The reason for my order is that I feel the flavors are the most important and if I screw up even a little, I will have to start over if I want an accurate mix. Equally as important for accuracy is Nic. If I'm off +.04 then I scrap it...

    DIY e liquid vs Big Box Retailers

    On several occasions Mt. Baker was fairly open about using Flavor West for a lot of their mixes. Having bought and vaped several baker flavors and the corresponding FW flavors I can guarantee that they use FW for several of their flavors.

    I find marshmallow does add some nice body though. At least to me.

    Ok, at Classy's suggestion I removed the photo's from the hosting server(damned you Photo Bucket!). Can a couple of people make sure they leave this thread (to refresh) and then come back and see if they might show now?

    Can people sound off on weather they can see the pictures on the origional post (post one page one). I might help identify the problem. So far no one else says they can see them (but me).

    And yet I can see them? Not sure what kind of cyber voodoo is going on but hopefully Classy can figure it out.

    Newbie looking to start RMO ejuice

    Well, at 80% vg that leaves you 20% for your flavors and nicotine. If you have 3% nicotine in PG then you have 17% left for flavors which is about where a lot of my recipes are at. Even if the flavoring was 27%, which is very high, you would still hit 70% VG. If you use much higher than 3%...

    Newbie looking to start RMO ejuice

    Your best bet is probably to get 100mg in pg and mix from there. Quality should be about the same for either pg or vg as long as you buy from a reputable dealer. VG is slightly sweeter, but only a little. VG is thicker, and produces more cloud. PG tends to carry flavor better, is thinner...
