I start with 75 /25 PG/VG at 60mg nicotine strength. I immediately dilute this down to 15mg nic and change the the PG/VG ratio to about 90/10 by diluting with a 3:1 addition of 100%PG 0mg nic. (30ml PG added to 10ml PG/VG). While I don't vape anymore at 15, I find this is a good, safe level to maintain the liquid at for further dilution later.
I use exacting ml measurements, drops don't do it for me. My prime reason for going the DIY route is to be able to maintain flavor consistency and drops just have too large a variable. I use a combination of 10ml, 6ml, 3ml and 1ml syringes.
Presently, all flavorings are the TFA brand from My Freedom Smokes
Pomegranate
10ml of the diluted 15mg PG/VG nicotine juice
10ml of 0 mg PG (to reduce nic level to 7.5mg)
0.2ml of 100% RealLemon lemon juice (yep, the grocery store stuff)
0.5ml of Pomegranate
Mix well, let steep for 24 hours.
****************
Lemonade
5ml of the diluted 15mg PG/VG nicotine juice
10ml of 0 mg PG (reduces nic level to 5 mg)
0.3ml of 100% RealLemon lemon juice
0.5ml of Amaretto
Mix well, let steep for 48 hrs minimum to tone down the lemon taste
*****************
Pralines and Cream
10ml of the diluted 15mg PG/VG nicotine juice
10ml of 0 mg PG (reduces nic level to 7.5 mg)
0.3ml of Pralines and Creme (0.2 will also work, my wife just likes it strong)
Mix well, let steep for 48 hrs minimum to tone down the P & C

More to come. I think I may have found the proper recipe and wait time to make a good cherry flavor (not perfume taste which is the bane of most). 1st batch worked, but I'm still gunshy on this one, so I've just made a new batch and will report in a week on this recipe.
