Hello Everyone! I have just made my first mixture.

First, I scanned this forum for directions... and to be honest I didn't find anything SIMPLE.

So I winged it.

What I have are several flavorings from loranne (by way of TW.) Three from Liquid express,
Eliquid Flavoring

a liter of Chinese 26 MG liquid, (I couldn't get stronger.) Several TW empty bottles, some VG, and a small plastic funnel and a syringe from JC, and a large number of empty carts from TW.

5Ml Plastic Dropper Bottles.Ideal for mixing or carrying your Fluids.

So, Step one was to rinse out the bottles.
Step two was try to figure out how to open the Chinese Liter. The lid was covered in wax or gluegun glue, and took some chipping on to get open. (Not that I'm complaining ,the precious juice traveled 12 thousand miles to get to me.)

Now, One I had it open, I took a bottle, placed the JC plastic funnel into the bottle, put the bottle on a dinner plate, and opened the liter. The liter is in a totally full bottle, and it became obvious that pouring would be hard, so I took the small bottle in my left, and the liter in my right, and poured thusly.

I still spilled several MLs of the precious juice all over my knuckles as it ran down the liter bottle. NOTE TO SELF, buy a turkey baster and a couple of intermediate sized bottles!!!

But, I did manage to fill the funnel. The juice, having been stored in the fridge, was very thick and viscous and would not travel through the funnel. ARGH! So I lifted the funnel, and it was like the juice was 'pulled' through. (Hmm... Maybe I should have shaken up the liter? Does E-juice 'settle' into layers over time?)

So, here I am with a partly filled 5ml bottle of no flavor... and a bottle of cool cherry rush flavoring...

I'm desprete to try this flavor, and entirely willing to postpone diluting the E-juice to a lower nicotine until such time as I have tried it!

So I look around, and al lthe directions I can find say something like "10ML ejuice, 5ml flavor....." So I think one part flavor to 2 parts juice? That's alot of flavor!

Hmm sez I.... The bottle of flavor says add it drop by drop.... And I'm going to write to Liquid Express to ask them about this.... On the bottle it says "Add by drops" and on the website it has this:
E-Liquid mixing tips

This is to me, a tad confusing since I'm pretty sure way less then a thrid is required unless these directions are very old and things weren't as concentrated then.


So I took the safe path and put in about ten drops of Cool Cherry Rush.... close the bottle and give it a shake.... And load up an empty cart.

GOOD VAPE! I still haven't decided if ten drops to however much E-liquid I had in the small bottle was too much. It actually might be a bit too intence.... This stuff is concentrated and it would be easy to overdo it!

Now, I have four more bottles ready to load. I'm going to try diluding with VG... then I'm going to try a Loranne's apple.... or a vannila creme from Liquid Express.


But the lesson I learned was BE CAREFUL. If I had put a third in, it would be way way too intence.

I have just mixed up an apple flavor with Loranne's.

This vape was made with approx (This is a total guess mind you,)

60% 26mg Chinese.
40% VG.

To which I added about 10% Loranne's apple.

(Yes, that's 110%. Sue me.)

It vapes very very well. That said, Loranne's required, (In this flavors) significantly more quantity then the Liquid express flavoring, and I kept adding to it until I had added just under what I think is a ML with my syringe. (I'd used it so much the markings wore off.) I should get more soon.)

The LA apple is therefore less intence then the LX Cool Cherry and required greater quantity to reach what I considered an acceptable flavor level.

I have several more flavors to try though.... :)
