Concentrates won my internal battle

[AvaOrchid]

I'm proud of myself. Because of all the sales going on I was very very tempted to pick up a couple bottles of my absolute favorite ejuice which isn't terribly expensive in general it runs between $12 and $15 for a 120 ml I think. You know things are getting started again in government and I feel like either a postal ban or flavor ban or something is going to be back on the table so I have a good reason to want to do this purchase But I've also been making my own e-juice with only a couple flavors that I've made that have turned out to be something I like. And even though I know how much cheaper it is to make it myself and I have a decent amount of VG PG and more nicotine than I could use in 10 years I tend to get really bothered by having to use like 7 8 9 ml of a flavor when I'm making two or more bottles. I hate spending a large amount of money and I consider like $7 to be a lot of money to spend on a concentrate LOL I am so cheap. But I resisted the urge to buy commercial Ejuice and instead I went and I got larger quantities of all of my favorite flavors that I use to make my blueberry donut cereal Vape and then a couple extra fun things that I keep seeing pop up in the recipes that I searched for. So I now have almost 900 mL of flavoring coming to me sometime probably next week instead of four or five lousy bottles of commercial eJuice. So maybe now I'll feel comfortable playing with the percentages to try to get that exact copy that I really really want of the one blueberry.

And in all honesty even though there's only a couple flavors that I've made that I like go to the store and buy 10 bottles of different vape juice that I've never tried before I'm lucky if I like one or two. I'm very very very picky

Congrats on your successes

I doubt there is a store bought juice I would try anymore, and I have hit the magical flavoring place where my flavoring drops WAY down and I actually like it.

Keep winning with concentrates.

I'm another very fussy vaper when it comes to juice. For my first 6 months vaping, I stuck to mints/creams and everything commercial tasted fine. When my taste buds grew back, there were very few juices I liked. I decided my taste buds were just annoying princesses.

I wanted to diy to reduce ongoing vaping costs. At that time, I only had one favourite commercial ADV - a simple mint ice cream. So I set about cloning it. I knew the 3 main flavours in it, it was just a matter of trial and error to find the right brands and percentages. After a few months - I had it perfect and went 100% diy only ejuice.

I then tried out other peoples various recipes, but I struggled to find something else I liked. Bakery flavours - all just tasted dry and funky, with the exception of FW cookies & cream and CAP sugar cookie (at very low percentages).

So I just focused on what I DID like. I tried various creams and ice creams until I found a combination I love - that became my cream base. I then added some FW C&C and found my second ADV. I tried various berries, found some I loved - and threw them into my cream base. This resulted in a third ADV. Always been a fan of caramel sauce - so I created my fourth ADV by simply adding FA caramel or PUR creamy caramel into my cream mix.

My very long winded point is too persevere with it. You too will find more mixes that you love vaping And I absolutely love that every juice I now vape, was designed and created by me (princess taste buds and all)

What e-juice is it? Might be able to clone it.

LOL I totally agree with you on that one. Last time I spent that much I caught a clearance sale and got 4 oz of one of my favorites.
