another "new at this"

[mga123]

As others I am new at this and I would like to keep it simple
I smoke too many cigarettes and need to go electronic because the cost and healthwise its not good
I need to get the right mix for my ecig to get away from cigarettes
I have 2 manual 510s
I have 18 mg tobacco carts (I think the PG does not agree with me)
I have WILTON brand Vegetable Glycerine
and Vermont Vapors 35 mg tobacco juice
So here I am and I think I have the stuff I need to make up my own e-juice
but I dont want to poison myself with tobacco juice!
I just need some direction and instructions make a concontion to satify my need for cigarettes (I probaby smoke 1 1/2 packs a day) and need to satify my cravings and hopefully end up not using cigarettes
I have searched the forum and read alot but I thought I would be redundant and post my questions any way!
any help would be great
I have Lorann flavors Tropical Punch, Licorice,Caramel, Chocolate Hazelnut, Cheesecake, Coconut, BubbleGum
I hope these are acceptable flavoring for e cigs and I have not been satisfied with them as of yet need to put them aside for now
Thanks Mike

Hello and welcome mga123! You may want to look at the DIY section for your questions and also there are several E-liquid calculators for DIY mixing available. I downloaded a free one at Breaktru.com

I think I'd try a few premade juices first to try to find a couple that you like. That will give you an idea of which way to go with you DIY juices. Just randomly picking some flavors to try to make probably won't give the best results. You've really got no point of reference yet. I'd hate to see you give up on the whole thing just because you aren't happy with the DIY results. Also the first month or two your tastes and tastebuds will be all over the map. It makes it really hard to evaluate any juice, one day you might love it and the next it'll disgust you or you won't be able to taste it at all. Madvapes has some China liquids for $11/50ml a lot of us got started with ecigs and away from analogs on these and similar juices. I'd suggest one of the tobacco flavors, ry4 and a menthol. Even if you hated menthols when you smoked it might suprise you when you vape it. And when your tastebuds go dead (and they will) it'll probably be one of the few things you can actually taste. Not trying to discourage you from making your own, I just think it would be really tough in the very beginning. No matter how you decide to go about it, there are tons of people here willing to help you along your way. Here's a link to some of the juices I mentioned:

Welcome, mga! Actually, DIY is not keeping it simple. If you buy ready made from a good juice maker, it's as simple as opening bottle when it arrives. As unloaded said, it may even give you ideas on flavoring. There's nothing wrong with DIY of course. Happy vaping.

Thanks to all

This is my second go around actually with ecigs

I tried one other time about a year ago but unfortunately went back to cigarettes but I really need to make the effort this time around
I will seriously read all your links and get back to you!
Thanks again
Mike

Looks like you got all the info you need, however if you want a quick run down from a different perspective, I recently posted a newbie's guide to DIY here : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tutorials/225827-diyin-juice-newbies.html

Good luck and if you need any help or any questions answered, don't hesitate to ask.

I have the 510 s with carts that read MLB HIG which I guess is high tobacco/nicotine like Marlboro and its really not doing it for me I am almost a 2 pack a day smoker Pall Mall Blue pack
the MLB MIG taste almost like pipe tobacco sweet and not too strong
As I said earlier I have flavors but I also have 35 mg tobacco eliquid from Vermont Vapors and I have a bottle of Wilton VG
Can I get a quick reciepe for something stronger that might get me away from cigarettes
