ALOHA! New member here, just saying hi

[Joe Ninja]

Hello ECF members! Been cig-free since 26 Sep 2014 and that is also the day I went to grab a cheap e-cig. I am currently running Beyond Vape's Silo Tank on Vaporshark's rDNA 30. I just ordered a Joyetech Delta 2. I figure that will be my first step in the sub-ohm world.

I have visited ECF many times before I purchased my Vaporshark to get people's opinion/reviews. But now, I'm desperate in finding an accurate recipe to make Cosmic Fog's "Milk & Honey" and Space Jam's "Starship 1." I've wasted so much money purchasing various e-juices online but soon discovered that I did not like most of them for different reasons. My latest e-juice that I ordered is Seduce juice "Snake Oil." I've read all the hype about it on various sources online and unfortunately, I don't agree w/ all the hype. So now I will be venturing in making my versions of Milk & Honey and Starship 1. Is there any legit resources to making e-juice, DIY? I know that making my own e-juice will save me a lot of money.

Any suggestions/feedback/tips will be greatly appreciated. Hit me up if you have any questions. Aloha!

Once you get enough posts I'd suggest you post in the DIY Eliquid forum, probably get some help there.

Anyway, welcome to ECF, and congrats on the shark, I just got one myself and like it. I'm hearing good things about the Delta II, so probably a good choice there.

Welcome and congrats on getting off the tobacco. I do the diy stuff. I've made a lot of mistakes but am finally getting to the point where I can make a decent juice that suits my tastes. The diy section of this forum and the search engine above are awesome tools to get you started. Enjoy the boards and I look forward to seeing you post your progress.

I'm going to be ordering from One Stop DIY Shop to get me started. I've already seen a few base recipes for Milk & Honey, can't wait. What's your "go to" or ADV?

Thanks DJ. Yes, the rDNA is a beast and I love how it's built like a tank. I've dropped it a few times...a few nicks and scratches but it still performs flawlessly. Once I receive and get a few days use of my Delta 2, I'll upload my thoughts on it.

Greenmonster, if you don't mind me asking...what are some common mistakes that you've experienced? So far, I found this recipe for Milk & Honey:

Ingredient ml Percent
(36mg) Nicotine E-Liquid 4 ml 33.333 %
PG 4.896 ml 40.8 %
VG 1.784 ml 14.867 %

Vanilla Swirl (TFA) 0.48 ml 4 %
Vanilla Custard Cap 0.24 ml 2 %
Vanilla cupcake 0.36 ml 3 %
Graham Cracker (clear) 0.24 ml 2 %
Totals 12 ml 100 %
12 mg Nicotine per ml - 50%PG - 50%VG

My BIG question right now is what size bottle are they using to mix all ingredients in, i.e.; 10ml, 15ml, 30ml? I've been saving my empty Cosmic Fog 30ml bottles and I may have a few 10ml and 15ml bottles around somewhere. I'm going to be ordering my DIY e-juice start-up kit soon...man, I can't wait!
