DIY e juice..

[mick500]

Hey guys, I'm sure this has probably been asked and answered before but I'm looking for some current information.

I'm having some issues with juices and finding them all to have a taste/smell I find really offensive and makes me feel a bit sick..

I don't think it's a allergic reaction, just a sensitive pallete possibly?

Anyway I'm thinking of making my own, at least when I smell the pg and vg I will know if either of those things g's are what's setting me off a bit.

So where is the best place to get pg and vg and nicotine? I'm in Australia but I have no issue ordering from overseas as long as the delivery price isn't ridiculous. Cheers.

Oh and flavouring, I'm tempted just to go with no flavour at first in case that is the issue, but I will try some eventually..

I personally vape unflavored. Just got sick of getting "vapers tongue" and not being able to taste e-juice or getting e-juice that taste like crap. So unflavored is absolutely amazing for me.

I ordered everything from https://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/ not sure of their shipping costs overseas. It's free over a certain amount for people in the states, but you could go on there. Their stuff shipped quick and I'm happy with it.

Cheers guys.

So is flavourless actually flavourless or is there still some taste with the pg vg and nic? Thanks again..

I don't know about pg anymore. I buy my 100mg/ml nicotine with a base of 100%vg and I add vg too it. I mix mine to about 4mg strength. It has a slight peppery note, but I enjoy it. I go through a lot each day. Plus it doesn't destroy my coils and wick like flavored e-juices do.

Sweet. So if I decide I prefer either 100% pg or 100%vg I can do that??

You can, but I'd suggest NOT to go with 100% PG.

[dbrandt01]

I'd recommend not 100%pg haha, but here are the options they offer
100% PG
75% PG / 25% VG
50% PG / 50% VG
25% PG / 75% VG
100% VG

Haha, alright, thanks guys. I ended up ordering from health cabin and I got 2 each of these..

PG & VG

And 1 of the nic with 50/50 pg vg mix and 36mg strength..

115ml HC Unflavored E-liquid

Is that right??

Yes, now you should be able to mix some unflavoured.
Take the eJuice Me Up calculator and brew away.

I mix 50/50 using their nic base. Unflavored liquid isn't totally unflavored. It has a slightly sweet taste to it from the VG. I don't get any peppery taste from it and I mix mine to 10mg.

 

[mick500]

Thanks guys, I have used the calculator, but just to be sure I don't do anything stupid, if I'm aiming for a 12 mg nic level and 30ml total I just basically..

10ml nic (the nic I got is 36mg)

10ml pg

10ml vg

And that's it for a 50 50 mix? When I decide to try some with flavours, what % flavour should I add roughly?

You got it. That will you 30ml of 12mg/ml juice

Depends on what flavor, what brand, as well as just your own personal preference. Certain flavors taste good, to certain folks, at only 5% concentration or sometimes even less, while other recipes can call for up to 30% flavoring. In the end, the right amount to use is the amount that's right for you. No one can tell you what you're going to like, and you won't know until you try it. It's always easier to add a little more flavor concentrate than it is to take out what you've already mixed in, so the general advice is to start low and work your way up from there. I will say that I've made two batches of e liquid with 5% flavoring in each one, and that was a little on the low side. Next time I think I'll try 10% and see how that works out.

Also, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, we have a whole subforum dedicated to DIY e liquid. I'll just "report" this thread then, and have it moved over there for you.

No worries, thanks for the advice as well. Looking forward to making my own juices. Hopefully I don't kill myself 0.o
