    Great job Andria! A wonderful contribution. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us! You already know this, but since you keep referring to Cream Fantastico, I'll share this with those that don't know. Cream Fantastico is a juice/flavoring that was always intended to be used as its own...

    Another great point, and well worth adopting.... DIY is expensive to get started in. Flavors, carrier bases, glasswares, nicotine, etc. You can easily spend $100 to $500 in the blink of an eye! :ohmy: So, looking at savings from no longer smoking helps to understand how to spread out the...

    For the sake of discussion, let's say we are making 100 ml of juice. Go ahead and make the PG portion at 30% or 30 mils. To the 30 mils, add VG and VG Nicotine like you are making 150 mils. Add the two together and your 30% mix suddenly becomes a 20% mix. Easy peasy, and you don't have to work...

    Order from TFA. Avoid in-stock problems. Get bulk account. It's free. Shipping is reasonable. Pricing is excellent. I have never ordered from anyone other than TFA/TPA and have never had a problem in this regard. The smallest I have ever ordered is one ounce. It takes more than a few mils to...

    Glad you like it K Omo! I think you could easily tweak my recipes, and other recipes on this thread, that exceed the 20% PG maximum for you, but carefully adjusting the percentages down, while staying pretty close to the recipe ratios. There will be a little less flavor, and you may may add...

    Sounds a lot easier and more cost effective than buying all the TFA flavors. For some, it may be too late, but if you're just getting started, you can pick out ten recipes and get all the flavors in a breeze, then find out how many more you can make with those same ingredients. I pretty much...

    Dave's suggestion is a good one for single flavor starting points. However, single flavorings are not going to work about 95% of the time for you. Try some of these mixes with your primary flavors of choice: You can also review recipes on this thread. There are hundreds of them, and many are...

    You can get China made bottles for about $10 - 12 for 50 bottles on Amazon. I use these a lot for samples. That's delivered. Takes about ten days.

    MyFreedomSmokes carries Nicotine, and sometimes PG and VG for great pricing, as well. Get on their mailing lists and buy Nicotine (100 mg/ml) for $40 delivered. Hard to beat their sales. So, several good sources. I buy VG by the bucket from Bulk Apothecary and PG by the Liter from Amazon and...

    Of course taste drives everything, my friend. 99% of the time, all we talk about is taste, so when we mention the wide range of affects on taste caused by our gear, our temperature, and everything else, that is the rarity on this thread, and not the other way around. We talk almost incessantly...

    So true! All of these juices react differently to these variables. As you mentioned, on your gear, you have a wide range of temperature capabilities on several different juices. However, on different gear, that might not be the case. And, just the opposite happens, as well. Some are very touchy...

    Regarding your list of flavors, TFA does not carry black walnut, butter pecan (they do have pecan and they also have butter), or butter rum (they do have rumchata). I use TFA in most of my recipes, and when I do use other brand flavorings, it's generally a flavoring that TFA does not carry, and...

    I've had much better luck with the bananas foster, and have not had the same kind of issues with it. My Monkey Business juice is one of the more popular ones I'm told, and uses the Bananas Foster. Good luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Truth be told, the darker flavorings are harder to measure in a syringe, and they seem to gunk up the wick/coil a little bit faster. Other than that, there really is no difference to me. :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Yeah, me too! If I'm working from my home office, then I can go through two to four tanks per day. If on the road, maybe one tank or two a day. At one mil a day, as, Dixie mentioned, I would probably get the smallest sizes as well. I generally make juice in amounts of 200 - 500 mils at a time...

    I would recommend you add Sweetener and Sweet and Tart. I find these essential. Yours is a very good list for starters. On fruit side, lemon is also very good, and so are apple and watermelon. Brown sugar and graham cracker and pie crust are very useful additions, as well. Good luck! :toast: :D...

    I now use only clear double chocolate in my mixes, but used to use both clear and dark. They're both good, but the dark has some challenges that the clear does not have. Good luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:
