    Need advice on recipe

    Yeah, I think this is the problem with 99% of the people that DIY (including myself), we all want to basically be able to shake 'n' vape complex delicious recipes. The 100DT (and other 'quick' ways) are not going to get you a great juice unless you only vape fruits, all the good flavourings...

    Need advice on recipe

    TFA Marshmallow will give an almost creamy mouth feel. TFA Toasted Marshmallow is less strong, but is sweeter than standard marshmallow (it is like Marshmallow plus a bit of brown sugar). FA Marshmallow gives a different feeling, more earthy, less sweet, but with a decent fullness to it. TFA...

    I need a new mod, but do I really need a 200w ?

    As others have said, no, you do not need 200W, but it is nice to have the option. I have a 150W regulated mod and the highest I usually go is around 55W (for dual coil tanks), but I do like the battery life.

    What is the point of bottom airflow RDA'S?

    It will be your wicks that are the problem, if they touch the metal near the airhole then you will get leakage.

    Latest DIY E Juice Tutorial w/ TOP SECRET Recipe

    From what I remember (watched it yesterday) I think it works out to be: (3ml) 10% Sweet Strawberry (2.4ml) 8% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (0.9ml) 3% Cake Batter (0.9ml) 3% Marshmallow (0.3ml) 1% EM Measurements in brackets (parenthesis) are what I recall as being what was used to make the 30ml...

    adding distilled water helps preventing dehydratation?

    Some people add Saline instead of distilled water to their mixes and say it is good for relieving dryness (also makes fruits stand out more they say). Distilled water I believe is used to thin down the VG so that it wicks better, but I am unsure as to whether it will reduce the sore throat...

    [Q] Observations from my First DIY Juice Mix

    I use the plastic pipettes for PG VG and nic. If yours are similar to mine then all you have to do is to cut the smallest section of the pipette off, makes it much easier. (this should work for all pipettes unless they are uniform thickness all the way to the bulb - unlikely) Oh, and measure...

    Once again thanks for the info! Yeah, that may well be the problem that I had then, cheers for clearing that up!

    RECOMMENDED UK VENDORS OF DIY INGREDIENTS AND GEAR

    Yeah, the free delivery on orders over a tenner is pretty great. I wish Chef's vapour would do that. Vapable seem to do sales on flavourings quite a bit too, but they really need to increase the range of flavourings that they stock (and brands). I would shop there more if they had more items.

    That is good to know about the nic fish! I did also get heartburn/acid reflux when I used Vapers emporium nic at 6mg, but that may be the flavourings rather than the nic base, it was also spicy on the tongue (when vaping, not drinking it). I will test the same recipe with Chem nic and see if...

    Personally did not like Vapers-Emporium nicotine base, it had a very strong smell to it and juices made with it had to steep a long time to overcome the 'biscuit' taste. Did also start to smell like fish/PVA glue (school days) after about 6 months. I agree on the Chemnovatic Nic, got my first...

    Agreed with above, Vanilla Swirl. Also Marshmallow (not toasted).

    Flavor West DIY flavor review

    I am still trying to perfect the Mango Sticky rice too, always have an attempt in the steep cabinet, so far all fruitless efforts (pardon the pun). I do think a light nuttiness would go well in it, but the proof will be in the pudding... It has become quite a quest for me, so I would be...

    VPG Optima - pre-mixed PG/VG mix with nicotine..

    Not sure, the link you posted has been blocked out by admin or whatever. I think it is the one at the start of this thread: https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/threads/new-calculator-to-try.480587/ It is awesome, I had to search for it, I don't think it was on the stickies list after all.

    VPG Optima - pre-mixed PG/VG mix with nicotine..

    If you use 'juice calculator' (uploaded by a user on this forum - search in the DIY section stickies) downloaded from dropbox I think, then you can input specific properties of your nicotine base (PG + VG + stength), it will then tell you what to add to get to your target ratios etc. It is an...

    Has anyone ever told you that you should become a restaurant critic... I am not sure what the point of this thread is, if not to express OPINIONS on FW flavourings? Yes, in theory everyone should try every flavouring available, but in reality most of us like to hear opinions/reviews first...

    Good post Baseball Mom! I am doing the same thing with the Churro - making an apple pie (with custard). My recipe needs work though. The butter pecan sounds like it might be a good addition to a sticky rice recipe, I will have to get some of that (if they ever stock it here). Is the 'no...

    Flavor West DIY flavor review

    Thanks for the insight! And I suppose for tasting notes I should just read the manufacturer's product descriptions? All flavourings are not created equal, which is why I (and others) ask for peoples' actual experience with individual flavourings. The same with taste, obviously we don't all...

    Flavor West DIY flavor review

    Yeah, I think 3% is a good place to be with it. Let us know your findings/opinion on it... I don't think it was awful or anything, just a lot stronger than I assumed it would be, and maybe too much vanilla for my tastes (at least at 7%). I think it could work well in some recipes, so I have...
