Complete diy NOOB, need help! (100%VG)

[treehead]

Hey you juice masters out there, can you help a brother out and give him a crash course on making your own juice?
I'm looking to make:
-A 100% organic VG juice
-want as least "harsh/unnatural" substances as possible (don't care much for ethyl alcohol, but will deal if I have to)
-will probably be using natural ingredients (I like fruity,creamy, and minty/herby flavors (spearamint, tea leaves, pistachios etc.), I've actually really enjoyed alot of alcohol based flavors like (champagne, wine, even scotch)
-don't mind paying for quality or the purest ingredients possible

That's a rundown of what I'm hoping to do, I hope I didn't leave too much out as I'm completely new to it. I figured I'd check with my ECF bros and sis's and see if they could give me any hard-earned tips, or maybe a simplified idea of where to even begin. I know there are plenty of tutorials/recipes on this site and I plan on researching all of them and then some, I just couldn't wait!

-Thanks in advance! Off to research, I'll keep an eye on this thread though.

Organic flavors:

*VG VAPES LINE, MyVapeJuice.com

However, there's some controversy on how organic/natural flavorings really are.

For vg (though you can get it pretty much anywhere):

Locate Danny and Hoosier's blogs in this sub-forum. Read each several times and bookmark them. Read the sticky's.

There is no "quick" way to create perfect juice each time, but it is a lot of fun learning!

That's what I'm doing. The more I read, the more I realize that I need to know. But, at some point one must just jump in and do something.

Enjoy!

When folks are looking for natural I like to link them to a list of chemicals that make a blueberry taste like a blueberry. http://jameskennedymonash.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/ingredients-of-all-natural-blueberries-poster.jpeg

It also includes the things that would have to be stripped out with chemical processing like the fats that would clog a coil, the sugars that would burn and cake on a coil, and possibly the chemicals that color the blueberry.

Compared to the chemical processing to get the flavoring out of natural foods, boiling a stew of grain and dead yeast to extract the yeast's waste product ethanol seems much more natural.

The whole key to mixing is willingness to try. So getting your supplies and starting with experiments right after your reading is the key in my mind.
