    What to order for first venture into DIY?

    If you want easy, WL and most other DIY vendors have syringes and needles available. They're available cheaper, but it's not a huge savings until you start buying in bulk. 16ga needles should be fine for raw and NIC PG & VG, 20ga or slightly higher for pg based flavors. If you get too small...

    What to order for first venture into DIY?

    VG and 20g needles are not a good combo :laugh: I picked up a couple of 14ga blunt needles from WL and am pretty happy with them, though they're a bit large when you're mixing 3ml samples. From one newb to another, keep a light touch if you're adding Koolada. It's neat stuff for sure, but...

    I tried "The Test".

    I've taken a puff on two different occasions, but didn't inhale either time. I wanted to see how bad they tasted (bleh), but didn't want to get that feeling after inhaling 'cause I knew I'd like it. I'm not fooling myself; so far vaping is not as satisfying as smoking, or at least the memory...

    Can I bum a vape?

    Yup. Ran into her this weekend and gave her a CE4 full of Blueberry Cheesecake. Now I'm down to about a dozen drops :facepalm:. Ah well, at least she's cut back on the sticks. That's the whole point, right?

    RWhy4 - My new all day vape!

    I mixed a 10ml batch on Thursday and have been hitting it on and off throughout the weekend. 80% PG / 20% VG @12mg 8% Double RY4 (TFA) 4% Caramel Candy (TFA) 4% Vanilla Swirl (TFA) It's very vapable as is, but the vanilla swirl overpowers the other flavors. In the next batch, the RY4D will...

    Looking for pomegranate fans!!!!!!!!!

    That sounds like something my wife would really like. Any chance you'd share your recipe? I'm new to DIY and my wife is a bit skeptical :laugh:

    Yoooo Hoooo

    Best price I've found for bottles: Batteries Chargers, Cell Phone PDA Accessories items in dropper store on eBay! I can't vouch for the vendor or the bottle quality, but they're made from the same material everyone else uses (LDPE) and should be just fine. I put in an order yesterday or the day...

    Clone Recipes

    Keep this thread running, but compile the recipies and put them on a blog page (or several pages). IIRC, you can edit blog pages as long as your account is active. I'm sure we could sweet talk a moderator into editing the first post and adding a link to the first blog page. After that...

    Question about drip tips

    Nice job! I just bought a lathe a few weeks ago and have been considering turning a few for myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Best site to buy Measuring Equipment??

    I'm new to this game, and have yet to make my first mix with NIC. After messing around with some PG, VG, and a single bottle of flavorI can tell you that a lot of my pre-planning and preconceived notions were wrong. Don't go nuts just yet, except (maybe) syringes, and blunt needles (14 or 16ga...

    Comment by 'Cavediver' in 'DIY E-Liquid, first order!'

    Hi Aflatoxin! No offense taken :). I'm a newb and I know it; I'm just good at making it sound like I know what I'm doing :laugh: I've done a lot of research and tried to pick flavors that would work well together, no matter what combination I used. I have also picked up a nice, basic...

    Capella's

    My first real supply order isn't even in my hands yet, but I just couldn't pass this up. Perhaps I have flavor envy? Raspberry Flavor Concentrate-13g Coconut Flavor Concentrate-13g Sweet Strawberry Flavor Concentrate-13g Sweet Tangerine Flavor Concentrate-13g Chocolate Fudge Brownie...

    Chain vaping : teeth hurt, throat hurts

    I went to my regularly scheduled dental appointment about two weeks after I quit smoking. My hygentist gave me the same rundown, but also told me the heat from a burning cigarette causes a lot of the damage. Dunno if that's true or not, but it is certainly plausible. Anyhow, I experienced a...

    RWhy4 - My new all day vape!

    Thanks guys. I'll give the vanilla swirl a try in the first batch and see how it fares. xbassman, there's a bit of percentage difference between your recipe and the one featured in the OP. I also see that some people have toned it down to 10% overall flavor levels. Have you tried multiple...

    Good Source For Small Inexpensive But Good Quality Juice Dropper Bottles?

    US Plastic carries dropper bottles at a pretty reasonable price. They also carry amber glass bottles with polycone lids. Shipping on one or the other would make it more expensive than just tacking those things on to an existing e-liquid order, but if you need some of each.... (I know you've...

    RWhy4 - My new all day vape!

    My first order should arrive later this week. This is probably going to be the first multi-flavor recipe I mix if I can find an acceptable substitute for bavarian cream (they were out of stock when I placed my order). I've got some vanilla swirl and some sweet cream in my order; I really hope...

    Containers for mixing small samples and flavor tests?

    Also an excellent idea for flavor tasting, although I don't think I'll have the patience to make this work for things that require 2+ weeks of steeping time. Thanks for the chart!

    Containers for mixing small samples and flavor tests?

    Thanks for the link! I wound up looking around a bit and found another supplier with prices in the .15 to .18 per bottle for 5's and 10's. Batteries Chargers, Cell Phone PDA Accessories items in dropper store on eBay! That's much better than the .45-.60 range I was finding! I ordered 50 of...

    Containers for mixing small samples and flavor tests?

    I'm getting ready to start DIY mixing, and I see it's recommended that I mix up my individual flavors in varying percentages so that I can sample each one and get a basic idea of flavors and proportions. That sounds like an excellent idea, but I have no idea what to put those mixes in. If I...
