    bottle types

    Yes, if they are crystal clear they could be PET or HDPE. You really can't tell the difference just by looking at them. Even some HDPE bottles are cloudy clear like LDPE, but most PET bottles are crystal clear. I stay away from the crystal clear bottles because I don't want to use PET bottles...

    bottle types

    The hard plastic crystal clear bottles are HDPE. HDPE = High Density Polyethylene The softer plastic, slightly cloudy bottles are LDPE. LDPE = Low Density Polyethylene. They are very similar in their chemical composition and either one is extremely chemical resistant. I would stay away from...

    Mixing in flavors - Anyone try this?

    Some people on the ECF have posted that they just add their flavorings to a bottle and let them sit overnight so all the flavoring ingredients mix together first, before adding anymore PG,VG and NIC. I personally don't see the benefit. Most all flavorings have a PG base to begin with and you...

    Okay...I'm REALLY gonna share now! Here's 4 of my recipes I mixed tonight. I only ask that if you try them, please give me some feedback. All these use the same base recipe. It is for 5ml @ 18mg nicotine. The base recipe: .9ml of 100mg nicotine in PG 1.5ml of VG 2.5ml of PG...

    Yeah...What Linda said. Tobacco Absolute in concentrated form looks like axle grease. (Seriously!) Take 2 drops and mix it into 10ml of PG. It may have to sit for a day or two to mix thoroughly, but it will eventually mix together. Then use this diluted mixture to flavor your juice. It is still...

    Landscaper, I looked at what you ordered and... I think the Burley Tobacco you ordered is very close in taste to Cowboy flavor. They are both really light flavored tobaccos. I think if you made a 5ml mix using the Burley @2 drops, Cotton Candy @ 2 drops and TA at 1 drop you will be very close...

    Some of the new juice vendors use tobacco extraction to make WTA (Whole Tobacco Alkaloids) to flavor their juice. WTA contains all the tobacco alkaloids found in the tobacco plant and not just nicotine. This juice tastes GREAT but would be very difficult to DIY because of the extraction process...

    A little back story... I just started vaping full time August 1st. I started DIY juices at the end of September. I am a nooby but have made great strides in the quality and variety of my recipes. A lot of my progress has been helped along by the generous input from fellow ECF forum members with...

    Okay...Time to share a few things I have learned in DIY. First off...I love Backwoods Brew. Don has a very subtle hand with ingredients. His juice tastes great and ages well. That's one thing you must keep in mind. The e-juice you make today will keep changing as it ages. Most mixes will taste...

    Tobacco flavors are VERY strong! You usually don't need much more than 1 or 2% added to your base liquid. I like Flavor Art tobaccos for the most part. Cowboy and Tuscan Reserve are 2 of my favorites. You really should add a bit of sweetener also. It takes some of the harshness off the tobacco...

    Avaliability of the VISION EXTREME MICRO Stretch

    Okay...I give! Just what is the definition of the following: "Any day now." We know it must mean more than a week, but should we be looking for something else to order now that we are using the last VISION MICROS we have? Or should we wait? Pete

    manufactorer vs reseller

    I use The Perfumers Apprentice and Flavor Art for flavorings. Flavor Art has some pretty good tobacco flavorings in my opinion. I usually use their "Cowboy Tobacco" @ 2 drops per 5ml in all my juices. Cowboy is a pretty light flavor and doesn't overpower my other flavors. I purchase Perfumers...

    My first time DIY. Results so far.

    Different flavors have different "power" levels. Some are extremely strong at 1% like TPA ripe banana. And some are just noticeable at 10%. It really is a little bit of trial and error to find that happy medium. Try and start out a little on the weak side because it is easy to add more flavor...

    TPA Tobacco Extract

    I added 2 drops of Tobacco Extract to 5ml of PG and then shook well. There were little "floaties" in the mix for a day or so before they all dissolved. The color of the mix is transparent very dark brown, almost black. I have yet to add this to any of my mixes, but plan on doing so soon. From...

    RTS Vapes Open Until Sunday

    Thanks for the heads-up! I was planning to place an order with them late next week when my current supply would be running low. I've heard great things about the RTS nicotine and wanted to try them out. Placed my order today for 120ml of 100mg. Here is another example of big corporate...

    Excited to DIY feeling really nooby!

    Just make sure you press the calculate button on the bottom of the calculator after you make any entries or changes. The calculator does NOT automatically update changes! And yes you are correct, I ran your numbers on my calculator, but don't forget to add in your flavorings on the calculator...

    How do you keep it all organized?

    I use Plano tackle boxes with movable dividers that I purchased at Walmart for about 5 bucks each. Pete

    syringe size issue

    Okay...Here's a tip. When you first break out a new syringe, paint the graduations with clear nail polish. My syringes last for months with the lettering as dark as the day I started using them. I found this out from somebody on the ECF a while ago and it really works well. My first syringe...

    Tobacco question

    Tobacco flavors need to steep for about a week before their true flavor sets in. Fresh tobacco flavors are the big culprits in that chemically/perfumery taste everyone always complains about and tastes in their fresh bought or made juice. I usually use 2 drops of tobacco flavoring and 2 drops...
