DIY e-juice

[blueorchid]

Hi everyone,

I've been vaping almost a year now and have been lurking here for almost as long. I've come to the point though that I need some direction in selecting flavors to make my own juice. I am partial to two flavors from two separate sellers and have no idea how to concoct anything close to theirs. I prefer strictly tobacco flavors with a mild nut flavor and a caramel/vanilla mix. So, I prefer a touch of sweetness. Unfortunately, I've spent a lot of $$ on tobacco flavors that tasted (as I refer to them) like ragweed. HORRIBLE and bitter.

So..LOL..my question is what tobacco flavor and vanilla and/or caramel flavoring would work best for what I'm describing? Is three different flavors too many to add? All I know is that these are the basic ingredients that I find most tasty. Any links/suppliers/product recommendations you can provide would be most helpful. Oh and if it helps..I vape on an ego twist with a mini vivi tank..so too much vg gets goopy. THANKS!

Wizard Labs seems to be where a lot of DIYers get their supplies. I haven't ventured into it yet myself, but I see a lot of mention of this place on Reddit and here. So they might be a good place to start looking.

Check here for some good answers to your question.

OOps! You will need 5 total posts before going to any other thread. When you do get the 5 posts then you will be good to go almost anywhere on the forum you wish.

Thanks both of you..I think the flavor reviews in the DIY forum will give me some detail on what I'm looking for.

I am also looking to start DIY. Just don't know where to start.

Wizard Lab is great advice, along with downloading the "eJuice Me Up" calculator. it comes with a ton of receipts to get you started. I'm new to DYI - 2 to 3 months, and am still learning. I haven't considered buying any mixed juice, and haven't made a un-vapable batch yet, some better than others. the advice to read, read, read was best! I thought I wouldn't consider anything but strong tobacco blends 2 months ago, I'm heavy into fruit flavors right now... no tobacco for a week. DYI'ing is a blast into itself!!!

I downloaded the e juice calculator and have the basics down, but getting the flavor right is gonna be tough.

wiz labs marlboro - nutty and i cant stand it lol

ry4 and double ry4 are my thing.

I can view all the other forums..just didn't think I could post in them yet. I may have read something with Wizard Lab..didn't notice. I just can't seem to make the leap to fruit flavors. I just might though when I get into the mad scientist mode.

 

[Thrasher]

after 5 posts you can post there. will take about 1/2 hour for server to reset your status.

yea i said same thing until wiz sent me some bubblegum, apple and juicyfruit gum samples.

 

[blueorchid]

I've tried ry4 in a vendor sample..it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but wasn't bad either. At least it wasn't like vaping crab grass! LOL

555 is a nutty tobacco flavoring

Flavor strengths vary from vendor to vendor so be mindful of which brands you are mixing. For instance, Capella is by far the easiest concentrate to use since their flavors can usually be mixed at 15 to 20% in a single flavor mix. OTOH Flavor Arts is a very strong concentrate and any of their flavors mixed at 20% will knock your socks off. This is important to know because ejuicemeup calls for specific vendors in their recipes and it's a good idea to use the vendor they suggest in any of their recipes. Also some concentrate vendors use sweetner in their flavors and some do not.

i like dry4 with a touch of wurthers caramel candy in it mmm mmm. the double is a totaly different flavor from reg.

 

[blueorchid]

Very good to know, lulu! I like MFS, USA Light (nice and mellow) and RW Vapors Red Box..it's got the added Stevia but also has a richer flavor..so I add maybe half a ml to 2 or 3 ml of the light.

 

[blueorchid]

uhhmm, I could do the Wurthers caramel! Is there any recipes in the DIY juice forum?

 

[Thrasher]

there are tons of recipes lol
and wiz sells it outright as caramel candy flavor, but dont get the reg caramel.. it tastes like grammas perfume to me lol

Are you mixing vendor ready-made ejuice or are you talking about mixing your own ejuice from scratch?

 

[blueorchid]

vendor-ready (same nic levels) and that's one of the reasons why I want to do it myself.

I see. In that case my post is totally off topic. I thought you were going to make your own with PG, VG, nic and flavoring. My mistake. I don't think ejuicemeup will have any value for you.
