Brand new to DIY, just got some flavors, help me make something!

[TEKWRX]

I'm really excited to be starting out in DIY, and am super lucky that I found Wizard Labs who are about 20 minutes away from me and allow local pick up.


I just got my first flavors, and am eager to mix something up. I don't have my nic yet, but it is arriving by this weekend. I assume I can mix up about 5-10ml just to try the flavors, then add the nic later? Can someone make me a recipe based on what I've got? Any help you be awesome, thanks!

I would mix each flavor separably in a 3mL batch and try each to judge the concentration you like for each, and even more important if you like each flavor...

Knowing what each tastes like makes it easier to judge what will mix well together, and how much of each. Besides it's fun to try them to see if they taste like the descriptions....

Yeah, I was gonna do something like that anyway. I've downloaded ejuicemeup, but I'm not quite sure how to use it if I don't have my nic yet. So how many drops of PG/VG and flavor do I add for 3ml batches? I usually like a 50/50 mix in my juices that I buy...

 

[Stosh]

Start each flavor at about 5%, if too weak, 10%, or 15%, see what the flavor change is for you. Like tasting a hot pepper before throwing a half dozen into a pot of chili

Edit: 0.3mL would be 10%, drops are tough because the flavor is so thin.

So if I understand you, let's say if I start off with 30 drops of PG, and 30 drops of VG, I should just use 6 drops of flavor to start? If too weak, just add a few more drops until I like it?

 

[Stosh]

That would work, the problem comes in keeping the drops of VG and PG and flavor the same size.....

Drops are not very accurate. Maybe this calculator will be easier to use for beginners

Here are some recipes for later and good luck

For a 5ml batch, .5 ml would be 10% flavor and 1ml would be 20% flavor

The average drops per ml are 20 drops. So, if you must use drops it would be 10 flavor drops for 10% and 20 drops flavor for 20% in a 5ml batch of juice.

Again, not very accurate but will give you an idea of taste to move along to bigger batches.
