    Why do they make that damn hole so small?

    One time I got a bunch of bottles in a starter kit and they were as you described, hard to get anything out of them. I wound up taking a twist tie and stripping off the plastic to expose the metal wire. Ran that through the hole in the dropper tip and then they worked like a charm. I'm like you...

    TPA/TFA Recipes only!

    When you see a recipe that gives percentages for the quantity of a flavor, that means the amount you would use would be X% of the total amount you are making. For example if you saw that a particular recipe called for 10% of a flavor, then you would use 1ml when you make a 10ml batch, 3ml for a...

    How much cash have you spent on DIY?

    I would hate to think about how much I've spent on DIY stuff so far... The other day the wife commented on the number of syringes that I have, she said that if someone saw them they would think that I was a drug addict.... :-) But to give a guesstimate, somewhere around $500.00 sounds about...

    Cutting eliquid.

    But that would only get you 16 mg/ml not 18. Also don't forget your flavoring as its going to lower the nic level as well. This is why a calculator like eJuicemeup was recommended. I use Eliquid Recipe Manager Pro on my Android devices, here's a screenshot of a recipe I'm working on: The...

    DIY Nic help

    Why not just get the smallest 12mg/ml bottle available in 100% PG, then just get an equal sized bottle of VG and mix the the two in a bigger bottle? Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013) using Tapatalk 4

    DIY E-Liquid Advice

    I doubt that it would be the nicotine, but then I could be wrong. Have you tried vaping the PG and VG by themselves? The PG should give you a throat hit, and the VG a little sweetness. Other than that they both should not have any flavor or odor. With your sweet tart flavor it could be that you...

    Hardest part of diy

    The hardest part of DIY is just deciding what vendors to buy your flavoring from. Then the problem is you decide and the flavor you do get doesn't meet your expectations. Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013) using Tapatalk 4

    Is there a checklist for beginners?

    When you buy your nicotine you can buy it in a PG base or a VG base, some places even offer it with a 50/50 blend of PG/VG. So when you make your juice you'll want to add PG and VG to dilute the Nicotine base to the desired nic level that you want. You will also have to compensate for the amount...

    Is there a checklist for beginners?

    Ok so at 12 mg, around 33.3% of your final mix will be your nic base. So yes you'll definitely need some VG to achieve your desired 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013) using Tapatalk 4

    Is there a checklist for beginners?

    Well if you need VG or not would depend greatly on your desired final PG/VG ratio and what nic level your mix is going to be. So for example if you want your nic to be 18 mg/ml your final mix would contain 30% of your VG nic base. If that's fine with you then you wouldn't need more VG, otherwise...

    Or you could use clear packing tape. This is what I do to keep from rubbing the markings off of my syringes. Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013) using Tapatalk 4
