And I start...slowly

[thinkingaboutit]

My first attempt will seem like pre-school. All I did was order ecblends 100% PG mixes with double flavor and about twice the nic I want. I am going to mix that with half VG...should be a no brainer.

After I got my feet wet, I will order nic base and flavors and start for real. I love my banana and my peanut butter from vaporgod so those will be the first flavors I attempt on a full DIY.

Just reporting back...so, so easy. A spare bottle and a few minutes with a syringe and I was done besides the shaking.

I'm holding off on any "real" DIY for now...I have an issue I need to figure out with a cough I have developed. Until I know if it is PG or VG causing it I am hesitant to buy supplies. It could even be from hitting a higher voltage with my vtube. I am stumped for now...so going with the juices I have until I figure it out.

I just recently started too and had some great success (along with a failure or two...)

Mixed a cola that's just superb along with a great manderin orange/lemon lime flavor and some cream soda/vanilla cupcake that's great.

Another lil tip is when you're mixing the juice... don't mix it to how it tastes when it's first made. Most combinations of flavors will change after the first couple days.
Mix to a certain percentage and try it out... don't add anything else if you want more of a certain flavor because that can come back to bite you.

Make sure to keep a notebook of everything you mix and maybe put some comments on there about more/less flavorings and if it's better/worse after steeping.

Just little things like that.

I'm just excited that I get to make all my juices for a lot cheaper then vendors

+1 on the notebook! It really is bad to stumble across something you really like, and can never recreate it again. I use a spreadsheet, and keep liberal notes on everything stored within it.

I must have done ok...30ml gone in ten days...and I am mixing more.

This makes me so excited, my "real" DIY stuff arrives Tuesday.

Oops...I should pay attention. Less than 10 days, and it was a 15ml bottle.

thinkingaboutit: 3 ml per day? That is about my current intake. DIY is fun. and good for us!
