1/28 #1 I use all vg and this time I didn't add water..it's fine..

Indeed. I tried some DW once or twice and found it to be a waste of time esp now that I make high VG juices. I too make juices from 100% VG, my flavorings (all but 2 or 3) are all PG based so the recipies usually work out to around 10/90 to 24/76 when I do it that way

That is kind of funny,,, I thought I was the only one that was bothered by VG. It has been so long since I have vaped it I forget why, but when I first started vaping and DIY I bought a 120ml bottle of it and still have it somewhere.

I'm also lucky that PG doesn't bother me, but VG makes my chest feel very tight. I have to order my juices with a higher PG percentage. For the few juices I have that only come in high VG, I have to drip them so I can watch my VG intake, otherwise, I have a hard time breathing for a while.

I usually "borrow" wifeys clear nail polish and put a coat on my syringes. Guys be careful doing this cause if your better half sees you doing this with too much care,,,, you can end up having to paint her nails lol

they are also, for the most part a 1 shot deal as they are almost impossible and a hassle to clean, a syringe is an easy rinse.
also apply clear tape to teh numbers as they will wash off w/i a few uses. lube them w/pg or vg after they dry.
the syringes will become hard to draw up and down after several uses

Yes I totally agree. I mix my pg and nic up in bulk, then use that mixture to make my flavored juices. I do it mostly to make sure my nic has mixed well with the pg

Thats good advice.
I have developed a system where I start with my flavorings on the right side of the table and as I add one I put it over on the left side.
making a base liquid will also eliminate 3 steps and less handling of nicotine.
If you have a set Nic value its the way to go as you only handle it once.

I've seen quite a few other people who are also bothered by VG. When I first started vaping, I thought I was crazy for thinking it was the VG, but then I started seeing other people mentioning it too. I don't get that tight feeling with high PG juices.

It seems to be more common for people to be sensitive to PG, but there are a good number of us who have problems with VG.

This isn't my recipe,it's from one of the diy threads,but i can tell you,it's good stuff,and i'm not even a fruit person haha,but i've made this a few times now.



10% Capella Sweet Strawberry
5% LorAnn Cream Cheese Icing
3% TFA Bavarian Cream
3% TFA Vanilla Swirl
2% Capella Vanilla Custard
3% TFA Cotton Candy
1% TFA Sweetner

most dripping is done via subohming.
I get great flavor and clouds

I have been enjoying a blueberry muffin I whipped up almost a week ago that has been pretty good and I imagine strawberry or any other fruit flavor could be substituted.

10% Capellas Blueberry < looking back at my notes I reduced this to 8%
6% Capellas Cake Batter < and increased this to 8%
4% Capellas V2 Vanilla Custard
30/70 PG/VG Base @3 mg Nic.
final ratio = approx. 50/50

Also been daily Vaping a Coffee Custard been vaping down about 60ml per week Ha Ha!
16% Capella V2 Vanilla Custard
5% Mt. Baker Vapor Coffee
1 drop per 10ml Capellas Caramel
20/80 PG/VG base @3mg Nic.
Final ratio = approx 41/69

I just mixed up BM's Strawberry and Powerband's Coffee Custard.

Vaping the strawberry now, and it's really good! Going to try the coffee as soon as the Magma is empty. I did have to do a couple of flavor brand substitutions on them, but the strawberry is great anyway, and I'm sure the Coffee Custard will be too!

edit: yeah, the coffee is great too.

My internetz has been down for several hours.

I tend to keep my Cap Custard v2 under 10% or after a week or so, it starts tasting bitter to me. Haven't had an issue since lowered my percentage.

I just found this and was reading back...I am amazed at how many people have a reaction to VG....I am one of the opposites(PG bothers me)....but I also know with allergies you tend to crave what it is that you are allergic to.....(for instance I have a wheat/gluten allergy so I am always wanting bread(in almost any form) and cereals, etc..)....
Do you (who are allergic to VG) crave that smooth taste?

I don't crave VG, but I do crave strawberries and tomatoes, and I'm allergic to both!

Nope. Give me the PG and the throat hit. Want it. Need it. Gotta have it.

I'd just as soon have full sized ones. I feel the same way about my tanks. I'm not interested in the mini ones.

Glad to hear you like it.As i mentioned,this is a recipe i found in another thread,so to be fair and give credit where it's due,i had to go and dig up the post to find the creator haha,it was originally posted by mxrdrver.I didn't care for it when first mixed,it took about a week before it tasted good to me,so if you like it already,then it may blow your mind after a week of steeping haha.
Somehow i missed that coffee custard,that sounds very good too,like you i will have to sub the coffee for another one,but will definitely give it a shot.I've been on a huge creme brulee kick lately,and that has motivated me to try out more custard type flavors,so this ones going on the list.

I like the minis if they still have a full set of features, VV - VW, display, battery level, etc.
My tanks have to be full size though, I hate having to keep refilling.

I first made the strawberry in a 100 DT, just to taste it. I liked it so much, that I did a 10 ml bottle! It's the first juice I've made that I actually made more of. I expect you are right, and it will be even better after a steep!
