Advice on making e liquid

[sparkky1]

Two drops of 6mg nic on your finger and on your tongue is not going to hurt you whatsoever an any way, I would suggest while your testing your recipes you don't add nic at all till you perfect the flavoring % first.Your total % flavoring might be 8% or could be 12% before it starts to really shine.Every flavor manufacturing company is not the same, even if it's the same flavor.

I have hard time tasting anything on inhale on any flavors but thats because of sinus I think. I always have to have someone else test my juice too that can yaste better than me.

Capellas flavors are awesome. I use them and Flavor Art for my juices. One word of advice. I would mix w/o nic for the first couple batches. if they turn out good you can always add nic to the mix after. Don't get discouraged if your first mix without using a tried and true recipe turns out not so good. I've been mixing for a few months now, so I'm no expert, most of my real good stuff has come from using a recipe created by other people. I have only come up with 2 good mixes on my own. 8 or so others have gone down the drain. 10 ml batches with no nic, so I didn't feel so bad trashing them. Once you get ahead of your consumption rate, then you can go back to being creative, tons of good recipes out there. let me know your favorite flavor profile and I may have a few for you to try out if you wish.

I'm a big fan of tropical and fruit flavours personally! If you've got any recipes I could potentially follow id be extremely grateful!

A way to deal with flavor anxiety is make a batch of unflavored liquid with the same percentage of PG, VG, and nic as some premix you like and have on hand then cut the premix 2-4 times. You may discover that it tastes as good or better as the full strength after your taste buds adjust. The commercial juice companies seem to use a lot more flavoring than most of us need.

I've been mixing since July. It might have been sooner but this DIY forum makes it sound way more complicated than it needs to be.

I mixed 200 ml yesterday, about a month supply for me. I keep two flavors available to vape and might expand that in the future. The batch I made yesterday uses only 0,9% of capella's cuppucinno flavor, down from 3.5% when I started and it's fine. The higher percent seemed to be slightly irritating my mouth. With minimal use of flavor my liquid is more mellow and costing just a bit more than 1 penny per ml.

I used an android based calculator called Liquix that cost me a couple bucks from the play store. I have 50 ml and 100 ml erlenmeyer flasks for measuring PG and VG. I poor directly from 1 liter bottles into the flasks over the sink with a steady hand. I draw the nic liquid from it's bottle with a syringe that has a couple inches of clear plastic tubing pressed on so I can reach deep into the bottle. I measure flavor by dripping it into a syringe while blocking the hole with a finger. After a bit of practice the whole process takes about 15 minutes.

Hm, guess if it don't fit on a touch screen it don't count no more..

My 'app' is still a scrap of paper , a pen, and the a**backwards - top - up approach

A lot of people say you must steep, I'm of the other mind and don't. I use creams and vanillas with my fruit flavors, and the most my niquids need is an overnight meld to get stronger fruits to play nice with the lighter flavors. I just shake well and vape.

I never heard anyone saying you "must" steep but most do say that the overwhelming majority of e juices will not hit their max potential before a good long steep.

I saw a post awhile back that said most e juice manufacturers steep their liquids for an average of 3 months before it is sold which i found pretty interesting .

I questioned that and it seems to be true so that does give cred that steeping is a very important process in achieving the best possible flavor .

If only i can find that thread lol. It was only a couple months ago.

Some are better steeped. But there's a lot you can do that doesn't need a steep. Taste it and if you like it, it will only get better with time. There's quite a few that I have made that didn't need to steep, but did improve a bit more over time. Don't let steeping keep you from vaping. I really think some that I did, it was only a week.

On my custard and creams recipes whrn I started diy I had the flavor % alot higher than I do now that have been able to get few good juices saved up. I didn't get a chance to steep more than 2 days at the start. But if those juices would have sat for a month they would have been way to strong. So do it how it works for you. I read everything I could on here for a year before I actually started.
