One little tip that has saved me a lot of heartache... buy a little notebook or something JUST for your DIY experiments, and write EVERYTHING you do down. Every single drop, every single flavor (including if it's PA, LorAnn, whatever), and DATE your entries. You'll be glad you did, especially when you come up with the vape of your dreams.

Congrats on joining those of us that DIY!

This is great advice! I do the same and immediately transfer it to my computer.

I did the same but after a while I kinda ditched the notes and started mixing up my own little bottles of "surprises"...LOL. It's something new every time!

Yeah, I have 3 or 4 little surprise cartos now. I started out writting things down and it got a little out of hand as I quickly made adjustments to try and refine a flavor that was almost not terrible.

I took notes the other day and it was like, 1 drop this, 2 drops that, subtract 33% from the total (I spilt the container), add 2 drops of this (maybe 3 as some liquid on the side of the dropper collected and dropped in) ... the went on for almost an entire page and if I wanted to recreate this, I would have this huge math problem to work out in order to determine how much of each ingredient ended up in the final mix.

I need to start over and start simple.

i usually don't have the attention span or patience to write down notes as I'm mixing. I just use the voice recorder on my iphone, then transcribe later after a few listens. I find that I have much cleaner and clearer notes than the jumble of shorthand and abbreviations I have to decipher later.
