DIY Ejuice: Can I make my own "base" then just add flavors?

[edwardsmith]

Sorry to post here, don't have enough posts for the DIY e-liquid forum yet.

I've been making my own juices for a few months now and it's working out well. As a pattern, I'm using the same ratios for PG (2ml), VG (5ml), Nic (0.5ml) & flavoring (3ml). Couldn't I just make a base of PG, VG, & Nic mix in large volumes (200ml?) and store it? Then when it comes time to make the juices, I would fill my small vials with the base and the flavor of the day? Obviously, I'd have to mix real well before using, but it seems like it would be time saver?

Thanks for any help.

Sure can, since the base is already a mixture adding more is ok

doesnt seem to be an issue unless you go wrong with the flavor additives and blow away alot of good nic base

That's generally how it's done. You start with a unflavored base and add flavor and nic. Just remember that Flavoring and Nic both count toward/against the PG/VG ratio. depending on what their base carrier is.

That is how I always do it. I buy my PG and VG and my Nic in liter bottles. I divide my nic into 125 ml bottles and leave them in the freezer except for the bottle I am using ..I make my base 300 ml at a time decreasing 100 mg nic to 3 mg nic.

All I do is add the flavoring to what bottle I am using and fill the rest up with my base. Been working fine for me. I like a 60/40 mix so I make my base 50/50. That way when I add my flavoring it kinda adds up.

I make my base at 5mg and then don't worry about what I come up with after adding flavoring.
Less than 5mg is fine with me.
