    alternatives to em/sucralose

    Never heard of it. Has it been proven safe for inhalation? Not all things that are safe to eat are safe to vape.

    100 % VG and 18mg Nic with 12% water and 8 % Flavor...looks too runny and does it reduce the Nic potency ?

    Are your flavors VG or alcohol based? I would think without the water it would be too thick. You'd get dry hits but it wouldn't hurt your protank because you wouldn't be vaping long enough because of the nasty taste to do any harm. How thick is your VG? I've heard it can vary from vendor to...

    ElectroGeek13's Ultimate DIY Expierence. My journey through learning the perfect DIY process.

    Try 45/50 with 5% distilled water. You may be pleasantly surprised unless you like the big throat hit. Can one of you guys explain how to get the "originally posted by" part to show up when you do a quote? I have not figured that out.

    ElectroGeek13's Ultimate DIY Expierence. My journey through learning the perfect DIY process.

    I've mixed TFA RY4 Double at 10%. It smells quite pungent immediately after mixing but mellows with time. It's not that sweet without added sweetener even at 50/50. Since VG is naturally sweet to a degree, your 30% VG mix would be less sweet. That's my experience anyway. YMMV Your nicotine...

    I'm about ready to give up...

    Good advice, however pg based flavors are thicker than water and likely produce larger drops, so better to at least calibrate using plain pg rather than water

    Don't give up! You will have success if you stick with it. We all have gone through what you are in the beginning of our DIY journey. Here's a list of recommended percentages for TFA flavorings. Starting at the low end is best...

    TFA Huckleberry extra

    What percentage did you use? I did not find "extra" on TFA's website but they say it is very strong and recommend 5%. From my own experience, when they say that, you may want to start even lower, like 3%. They also recommend adding 2-3% toasted marshmallow to give the huckleberry a more "ripe"...

    How do you guys mix large quantities??

    You didn't mention how much at a time you were wanting to mix, so this may be overkill. I've been considering getting a 4 quart stainless stock pot and drilling a hole in the center of the lid for a mixer attachment. I'd use beakers and syringes to measure the ingredients and dump them into the...

    TFA Caramel Cappuccino

    LOL. Yeah, made that mistake with regular coffee flavor. Imagine vaping a burning tire and you'd be close to what that tasted like.

    TFA Caramel Cappuccino

    Well, it seems as though it packs quite a punch indeed. I'll start at 1 drop and go from there. Amazing how varied our taste buds can be that 2 drops is overwhelming for one and ~3.3 is excellent for another, who admits to mixing low. After 6 months of mixing I think the most important thing...

    TFA Caramel Cappuccino

    The TFA Flavor thread shows a recommended 1 drop per 10 ml. That's around .5%. Is that stuff really that powerful?

    How to calculate nicotine (nic) concentration for DIY with very basic math

    Somewhat unorthodox but should work if you're not hung up on an exact nic strength. Each 5% of flavor added will reduce your nic by .9% That's the drawback to a premixed base. Your nic level will drop to 15.3% if you have 15% flavor. You are close on the tablespoon to ml conversion. I...

    How to calculate nicotine (nic) concentration for DIY with very basic math

    You will need your finished nic base to be 38% of total volume to get to 18 mg/ml. Since you are starting with a 50/50 mix, only 19% of that will be pg. Add say 10% flavor and your total pg will only be 29%, well short of your 70-80% goal so you will need to add another 40-50% plain pg to your...

    Capella flavor opinions and help

    I mixed at 7% along with .5% TFA Peanut butter and 1% FA Vanilla Bourbon. It had a slight chemical aftertaste so I let it sit for a week and gave it a good shake every day. It was fine after that. No more aftertaste. Also used 2% TFA Sweetener (Sucralose). Probably not necessary, but I gots a...

    ALMOST Ready!

    I agree. Unless you like very strong flavors, 10% is a good starting point for this flavor. It will have a stronger tobacco type flavor (almost too strong IMO) if vaped immediately and mellow nicely after steeping for 2 to 3 weeks. The caramel and vanilla notes seem to hide somewhere before...

    higher VG juice with a 50/50 base??

    It's has nothing to do with the total ml of the mix. It's all about the percentages which remain constant no matter how big the batch. In the OP's case, his nic base has to be 66% of the total to achieve his 32 mg/ml target. Since it is 50/50 that means the nic base contributes 33% pg. Add the...

    higher VG juice with a 50/50 base??

    Don't know how big your stash of 50/50 48 mg/ml nic base is but if you want to experiment with higher vg mixes, consider getting a 120 ml bottle of 60 mg/ml VG nic. At your target strength of 32 mg/ml you can mix up 226 ml of juice from that bottle with a much greater flexibility of pg/vg...

    DIY juice making mouth dry.

    I can't remember which one, but I've read that either PG or VG acts as a desiccant and removes moisture from the mouth. I notice an improvement in the taste of my vapes after I take a drink when my mouth gets dry. A burnt taste/smell could indicate too high a percentage of flavor. Coffee...

    dilute a e liquid?

    The only way to do that without also diluting the flavor would be to buy another bottle of the same flavor at 6 mg/ml nic and mix the two 50/50 which would then give you 12 mg/ml nic. You could do other ratios for more or less nic but then you'd have leftovers of one or the other. Leftover 6...

    Wizards lab NIC just about blew my head off

    Just a thought here. Anybody ever freeze a flavored drink in a clear plastic bottle and notice how the flavoring seems to separate from the rest of the fluid and become concentrated at one end of the bottle? I wonder if something similar doesn't happen when you freeze the nic and if it would be...
