DIY Help Please with my current Flavors

[bleev]

Guidance needed. I have the following flavors:

Menthol
Spearmint
M Type tobacco
RY4 Type Double
Blueberry
Watermelon
LA - Green Apple
Sweetener

With the flavors above does anyone have experience enough to guide me to a nice mix?...with percentages or drops not ml.

Double ry4 is good for me between 10-15% Also you can use this thread as a guide line for percentages. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread.html

Mix up 1-2% M-Type, and put it away for a month. Don't try it before then...

I tend to mix as single flavors and then add varying drops of flavors to an atty. When I find something nice I mix it into a 10 ml bottle. I like the M at around 1 part to 3 parts menthol. The apple is also nice with the M. Blueberry and Watermelon are good alone or mixed with menthol, but around 1/2 each.

Thanks I just made a 4oz bottle with 1% tobacco and a bit of sweetener. Tucked away in the dark after an hour of ultrasonic bath and heating it in 120 degree watter. I'll wait a month to see how it turns out.

Thanks I'll try a blueberry watermelon mix with a bit of menthol. I did create just a watermelon mix some time ago and it was a nice desert vape.

Oh wait you have an ultrasonic cleaner? I did the M-Type for 4 hours in the USC and it was completely vapeable. Just do it for a little bit every day and try it once you've got 4 hours on it. I love my USC!

 

[bleev]

oh thanks for the tip...back to the UC it is.

More suggestions..

Spearmint is STRONG. I mean strooooooong. I usually mix it with Wintergreen, menthol, and sweetener.

Try the spearmint at a low % and add sweetener. Tinker with it, add flavor to the point you like it, and add a couple drops of menthol. Should be good if you like spearmint! Also spearmint should be good to go with little to no steeping time, so you can try it once you mix it.

I think the idea is 1 hour in UC ~= 1 week of steeping. Give or take.

If it doesn't smell good, don't try it. Trust me on this flavor. When it's perfectly mixed/steeped, it's quite lovely. But before it gets to that point, it can be kind of gross. Glassmanoak will back me up on this. I'm not sure how long he puts it in the UC though.

At this point my all day vape is spearmint and menthol. I love the mixture and it was instantly vapable. I'll try some sweetner next time...maybe tonight. lol

That is really helpful. I really didn't know the proper time to keep new mixtures in the UC. Do you also recommend putting the glass bottles initially in an almost boiling pot of water until it cools? I read that somewhere on this forum.

Nah I don't bother with that. My UC gets pretty warm. I figure with all the mixing-goodness going on in there, it's about all I need. That water can get hot too!

My juices never benefited from a hot water bath. Dunno why!

my old man is crazy about TPA m-type at 5-8%. i generally let it steep a week before i turn it over to him, but i've got 200mls sitting in the closet atm that's probably a month old. It's mighty tasty. I tend to mix my menthol with any and all fruit, but i just can't quite get it to mesh very well with a tobacco flavor (i never liked menthol smokes anyway, so its no loss for me). Good luck with your mixing!

 

[bleev]

I hated menthol cigs when I was a smoker...but it's totally different to me with vaping. It gives the throat hit I like and is slowly becoming a favorite addition to my juice.

I just US my mix for 4 hours and it is a beautiful vape. Thanks for the guidance!

ive used green apple at about 15-20% with a few drops of tobacco(very strong easy to overpower the apple) and sweetener and makes a great sweet almost pipe tobacco flavor. that green apple is also great with some grape flavoring makes grape taste like "welches grape drink"

 

[bleev]

Apple is the only flavor I have yet to try, I will mix a juice tomorrow! thanks!

 

[jazon1]

no problems hope you enjoy i usually use the "green apple" in like a 5% with a 15% Macintosh apple mix for a regular apple flavor,but before you know it you will have a few hundred bottles of flavoring like the rest of us it gets kind of addicting lol.

Yay! Another M-Type fan. It really is good once it's ready.

How do you like the Double RY4? I have yet to try it, and many people rave about it!
