DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[buddylee]

You're very welcome Kat.
I just did my first experiment at making rice crispy treats. Smells good, I'll try it in a few days. But for the time being I'm filling a nova with my fw gummy bear.
I mixed it at 10% with 1% sweetener. I should have gone 8% and 1% it's a little strong.

Buddy let me know how it is!!!!

 

[buddylee]

Patience be damned, I tried the rice crispy treat already. I can honestly say I don't taste much. Back in the box it goes until tomorrow night. Hopefully by then it will have grown up.

You sound like me Buddy...I don't have patience for steeping either lol

 

[FranC]

I have success in steeping by mixing ahead.Of course that doesn't work well if you have a new flavor. LOL

I got into the habit of making a new batch of stuff way before I run out.
I did this yesterday with the cinnamon.

I have about 30 sitting here ready to go but I just can't wait to try the new ok ones.

You must not be a procrastinator like I am.

You had said that cinnamon caused you problems but adding ACV helped. My favorite juices right now are churro and cinnamon danish and they seem to be taking a toll on my mouth (gums are sore).

How much ACV do you add to your cinnamon juice? And which cinnamon flavor do you use?

 

[Bovinia]

I toss a mix into a hot water bath, that's about all the patience I have

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Made mine was it Friday....still sitting steeping apart from the odd shake.

Just call me patient lol

That and I have a few others that I just took out if the steeping drawer which I am just trying. Must admit I am preferring Capella Apple Pie to FA so far.

The only thing I really let steep is tobacco's. My mints/menthols and my Hazelnut coffee require no steeping along with a couple others.

G'mornin everyone. I sure am wishing I had a crystal ball! ECX is offering 10% off while they relocate. I am soooo ready to pull the trigger on my first DIY order ever, but worried they will make a better offer once they open up at the new location. Decisions, decisions...'fraid to, 'fraid not to LOL. It will consume my whole budget for September, so I'm trying to make the best choice I can.

I know...TMI hehe...have a great day all!

Just put in an order for a few I've been meaning to get for a while now. Black and mile, french pipe, black honey tobacco, and threw in captain just to check out.

I have used LorAnn, Capellas, and PA and they all seem to be fine. As for how much, it depends on which one I use. The first two is about about 15 to 20%. PA a little less. I just make it and drip and try it to see if I have to add more VG or flavor.

Go for it Kat..............

Go for it Kat..............

Agreed. 10% off is the best I've seen from ECX.

Thanks JJ!!!

Was it you that said you use apple cider vinegar in your cinnamon juice? Just wondering how much you used.

After reading the vinegar thread today....I'll probably try 1 to 2 drops per 5 mil to start to see if that helps.

 

[jj2]

I use a 4 ounces glass container. I got it in a small vinegar bottle and I add one cap full.

I know...that doesn't help much.

It's just that it's my main vape so I make A LOT at a time!

 

[Bovinia]

Gloria, I would suggest starting with 1 drop of ACV per 5 ml. Jj can correct me if I'm wrong, but let it steep for 24hrs between drops to see if it needs more. I have not tried it in cinnamon, but in my Caramel Coconut Cookie recipe 1 drop was too much LOL. I could taste it even after a few days...maybe I'm just sensitive to it. I just tried it to see if it would do anything positive or negative to my mix

 

[TommyG]

Any discount I get is a good discount, even on a small order where it saves me a dollar or two I'm able to take that out of my already meager cost per mil..which I love, but if you're DIYing on a semi large scale that discount might better be used on things like cartomizers, atomizers, or a new PV...

I usually buy a liter at a time at about 21$, 250ml of 60mg nic at 37$, and my average flavoring going it at roughly 10% and costing 4$ per 10ml on the high side. I'll use half of my nic base with my pg/cg base so that's about 18.50$. 18.50+21+4(11)=83.50 for 1235ml of juice, or around .07 cents a mil, even with 10% off my whole order I would save about 8.35$, and knock that down to about .06$ a mil.

Probably a moot point really, as money saved is money saved lol, but it is something to think about. Instead of a cent or two a mil, you could be saving a dollar a tank, three dollars off an ego twist, about a dollar off a pack of cartos...you get the idea.

While this post probably isn't too important, it did allow me to figure out what I spend on vaping now lol.
