    Thanks for the vinegar tip!!

    Yeah, you won't taste the ACV but it works wonders on the tobacco flavors. The lemon juice is the same, at 2 drops you won't taste it. I however, have used lemon juice at 4 to 5 drops per 5ml of fruit flavored juices to add a little zing to the flavor. It gives the fruit flavors a really crisp...

    Newbie needs help.

    You guys are forgetting a very important ingredient. You should add 2 drops of Apple Cider Vinegar per 5ml of juice. You will not believe how much this will improve the flavor! Here's a good tobacco flavor recipe for 5ml of finished product. 5ml of your VG/PG/NIC base 2 drops tobacco flavor 3...

    Pipe tobacco recommendations? What to mix with it?

    I like to add a few drops of PA's Sweet Orange to my pipe tobacco flavors. Just enough to get the hint of orange.

    Thanks for the vinegar tip!!

    You should always use some type of acid in your mixes. It helps to stabilize the juice so it will last longer and won't experience that flavor fade. Vinegar seems to work best with tobacco flavors. I use concentrated lemon juice if it is another flavor. Yes, you can use white vinegar.

    Slow Cooker Extraction of Tobacco and Tea

    I've been using this method for over a year now. My original posts can be found in the thread "Impatient newbie strikes again...". Currently on page 2 of this Sub-Forum. The key details that I have found to work the best using this process are as follows: 1. I use cut up cigars. I cut the...

    Nic Level & Throat Hit

    You can also try adding a few drops of vodka. The higher the proof the better, at least 100 proof.

    Saw this article, wondered if anyone has tried this with pg instead of booze?

    You are right, PG is a "type" of alcohol. It is my understanding that when fermenting plants in PGA you actually destroy the cell membranes and allow the contents of the cell to spill out into your alcohol bath. I don't see PG as being as strong a solvent as straight alcohol but then again I'm...

    Saw this article, wondered if anyone has tried this with pg instead of booze?

    PG is not an alcohol! Almost every liquid including water can be considered a solvent, some more harsh than others. Alcohol is a pretty strong solvent and will/may remove and/or dissolve unwanted ingredients into the alcohol.

    I haven't tried this process but do however use spiced rum in some of my mixes with really good results.

    The "Let's give Levitas a helping hand" Thread

    You might want to try buying your base liquids from Extreme Vaping. They have what some on these forums consider the best liquids for base mixes. The only drawback is price. They are pretty pricey. Some of the best known vendors buy their base liquids from them including Want2Vape and Backwoods...

    Chemistry of "Steeping" and observations?- premixed flavors vs. individual flavors, PG vs. VG vs. both

    You could spend a lifetime researching and testing the chemical reactions that go on inside our little bottles of e-juice. One very important thing I have learned is the ABSOLUTE need to add an acid to our juices when mixing them. It acts as a stabilizer and prolongs the shelf life and reduces...

    The "Let's give Levitas a helping hand" Thread

    You need to isolate the flavors and make sure it is actually the VG you are tasting. Try vaping some VG plain without anything added to see if you still taste anything. VG by itself should be tasteless. (The same goes for PG and NIC.) I buy my PG, VG and NIC from RTS Vapes and I can mix my base...

    The "Let's give Levitas a helping hand" Thread

    Chocolate can be a really tough flavor to formulate. (That, equals lack of response.) If you seem to be having trouble you might want to try my recipe. You really do need to add the raspberry flavor. It seems to me that the raspberry is that "something is missing" flavor. This is for a 5ml mix...

    Juice losing flavor after a day or so??

    You need to add an acid to your mix. You can use vinegar, concentrated lemon juice or malic acid. Use 2 to 3 drops of acid per 5ml of juice. The acid stabilizes the mix and will greatly increase the shelf life. It stops what I call the "flavor fade". I use apple cider vinegar for tobacco...

    Where to purchase PG & VG USP

    I would suggest RTS Vapes. The have a really good quality product and great customer service. They seem to run some pretty good sales every month.

    Does anyone know....

    I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and strength of their flavorings. Some of my favorites are: Vanilla Banana Cherry Caramel Shipping from China takes forever! If my memory serves me, my last order took 3 or 4 weeks to get. (The cheap shipping option of course!)

    Firstime DIY - WL Purchase - Good To Go?

    Make sure to paint the outside of your syringes with clear nail polish. It keeps the graduations from disappearing when you wash the syringes. The graduations otherwise will wash off and disappear after several washings. Make sure you use 2 drops of an acid per 5ml of mix. You can use vinegar...
