    That makes sense to me. If you break down the flavors by type, it looks like this: 3% creams 2% Bavarian Cream (TFA) 1% Sweet Cream (TFA) 3% caramels 1% Caramel Butter (WF) 1% Caramel Candy (FW) 1% Caramel v2 (CAP) 1.5% nuts 1% Hazelnut (FW) 0.5% Hazelnut (Hazel Grove) (FA) 0.25% other 0.25%...

    @PapawBrett, if your standard recipe looks something like this: 10% 100mg/mL PG Nic 15% PG 60% VG 15% PG Flavoring(s) Resulting in a final mix of 30PG/70VG 10mg/mL nic, 15% flavoring. Then the appropriate premixed "base" (no flavoring) recipe would be: 11.76% 100mg/mL PG Nic 17.65% PG 70.59% VG...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    As I read from NN' site: To me, that is sounding like they intend directly inserting the slip tip: through the barrier (septum), instead of a needle. If that is true, I could see where the smaller diameter of a needle might not create a tight enough seal, and allow unwanted air to enter...

    Happy to help!:D

    Warming up the vg to mix?

    Air introduces oxygen; which accelerates nic oxidation. Also, excessive aeration, can cause flavor loss (dissipation of the more volatile flavor molecules). :)

    Getting actual vg/pg percentages

    @Cougar, where are you buying your ingredients from (links are helpful, and can be very informative)? I have only purchased from USA suppliers; so, I can't talk intelligently about suppliers from other countries. Reputable suppliers in the US; will always disclose the type of carrier used for...

    Where did the chocolate mint go???

    If you DIY your own, Bull City Flavors is a popular (and very reputable) flavor concentrate vendor. They offer: Chocolate Mint (Flavor West/FW) Double Chocolate Clear (Te Flavor Apprentice/TFA) and a bunch of other chocolate offerings too. (NOTE: I am not affiliated with Bull City Flavors in...

    I can't speak to DIYFS flavor concentrates specifically; but, in general, fridge temps are considered okay... just not the freezer. Freezer temps can cause separation and crystallization all too often. If (after being in the fridge) you notice any formations (crystals, hazing, solidification)...

    looking for a cheap scale for diy ejuice

    Sorry, @Shadav; I seem to have derailed your thread.:blush: In an effort to get it back on track; yes, the ones you listed will all probably work. What you are "risking" for the $15(ish) savings, in my opinion, are: -- Manufacturer quality control. For those prices, the mfg. is not using the...

    looking for a cheap scale for diy ejuice

    Why? Given that almost everything (nic, flavor concentrates, or the base itself) a DIYer mixes with, is in a base of PG and/or VG. And, the approximate minimum drop size is 0.02-0.03g (at least; that can be reasonably administered with typical home DIY equipment). What practical function does...

    This (AWS-501) has been a popular DIY scale for years now. I am not sure why the title identifies it as having only a 0.1g resolution; as the mfg., and Amazon description, list it as 0.01g resolution... other than it is a typo. 0.01g is enough resolution since "average" drop of materials we use...

    The "no lemon" doesn't seem surprising to me. Many/most lemon concentrates are fast faders. And, with your mix being nearly 2 months old, I would expect the lemon to be gone. You could try re-adding the lemon components to the mix (or portion of the mix) and see if that perks it up. Lemon...

    Burning Eyes. Flavor or nicotine?

    Menthol is made (in e-liquid applications) by dissolving menthol crystals in a suitable carrier(s) (PG, ethanol, water, VG). (source: TPA) Menthol (Wikipedia)
