There are some creams that steep a bit faster.
When one first quits smoking, they usually buy juice, which is rather suited to dulled taste buds, and higher in flavor, often sweeter, than what will taste good to them later.
Good point. I’m sure you know how hard it is to wait when you think you got a great flavor. I have heard of fast steeping methods but I have heard that nothing works better than time.
Good to know! I might add a little marshmallow to it at maybe 2%. Does super sweet make flavors that much better? That’s one thing I have seen in a lot of recipes.
I always mix at 50/50 so I found that a lot of flavors don’t need to be mixed so high. I like my mixes to have flavor but not too over powering. Although I have found some flavors from different vendors that need to be mixed at higher percentages because they are subtle. I also use these juices in my dripper so I get plenty of vapor, flavor and throat hit.
Ymmv but I like my juice sweet. SS is my fave of all the sweeteners I’ve tried. I don’t find marshmallow sweet at all, but I do use it for a little mouth feel in some recipes.
Will do. I’m looking forward to creating some new flavors in DIY. Just wish I got into this sooner!
Some of those recipes may be older, 28% seems way too high. I say that because I used to make my juices at closer to 20% when I was vaping the kanger protank. The tanks have gotten much better so I don’t need as much flavoring to taste the juices. I mix around 10% max now as well. Also depends on the brand of flavoring. Some are much more concentrated then others.
I think @madstabber would agree with me when I say that one of the reasons a lot of us get into DIY is to avoid those heavily flavored commercial juices they sell in all vape shops.
Yes that and especially the heavily flavored juices that taste like crap and cost a ton. I have total control of my juice and it costs less. I get exactly what I want and don’t have to compromise by vaping a subpar juice.
Was the same for me. I've been vaping going on 5 years and just started diy last September. I swear I will never buy commercially made e-liquid again
I think I have enough DIY supplies to last me a year or so. All for the price of three bottles of commercial eliquid.Was the same for me. I've been vaping going on 5 years and just started diy last September. I swear I will never buy commercially made e-liquid again
You may have enough.... but will it be enough?
I have about 110 different flavors right now. I have used all but the last few from my last 2 diy orders.
Well it sounds like you also supplying your friends and family with your awesome ejuice.You may have enough.... but will it be enough?
When I started ( which of course was not very long ago) I had a few flavors I really wanted to clone or mimic and hunted around a lot with different brands and types of flavors, pineapple was a big one, trying to get them "right". Still working on some of my favs but have made mostly great juice along the way.
I have avoided tobacco flavors in vaping for a long time but just recently wanted to make some tobacco blends for 3 family members, so that was a few more.
Just today (about a half hour ago) in the mail I got three new ones! LMAO. WF Banana Candy, TPA Banana Nut Bread, and FW Marshmallow. Did a knuckle test on the candy and it tastes like Laffy Taffy. I hear Marshmallow is mostly the same regardless of brand, and the banana nut bread is for my mother in law but I will make some for myself too.

I do make all my wife's e-liquid but limit what I do for other people. Mother-in-law and father-in-law every once in a while. I go through a lot of liquid myself though; I vape low sub ohm with an Aromamizer Plus, .28 dual coils. The money I'm saving is ridiculous.
I found that most people that DIY keep their flavors low. But I also respect those who like bold, rich flavors. Vape on my manI am also using 10% flavorings currently, but single flavor only... I used to mix plain VG with juice I buy in vape shops, I also find them too tasty. I don't know yet, but my first estimated recipe totaled 25% flavorings. I'm still waiting for my flavorings to arrive(again). I will mix with plain VG again if the taste is too much.
And yeah, after only a month of doing DIY and I'm already on my fifth order of flavorings.
