[FATAARON]

I just went flavoring crazy and spent about $150 on a wide variety of flavorings. Does anybody have a heads up before I get started? I have been saving some threads about flavor % for diff companies, so I have that to go off of. Any opinions on sweetners aka Ethyl Maltol sp?, flavor mask, or malic acid?

Thanks for the help in advance

Wow, that's quite the investment to get started! Check out the main page under general e-liquid discussion there is a sub-forum for DIY. Here's a link for ya'. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/

For sweetener I use stevia extract steeped for 5 minutes in boiling water

Check your finished products for water solubility after your done mixing. It easy enough to do and makes all the difference in the world. I use a glass cup 1/16 th full of tap water. Add 5 - 10 drops of your finished juice or individual ingredients and swirl it around for about a minute after the minute if you see oil drops on the surface or see something floating around in the cup it's not water soluble and should NOT be vaped make

Curiosity.... Why should it NOT be vaped?

you are mostly water.. water carries most toxins (that are water soluble) out of your system. if your coating your lungs with something that your body can not remove quickly this could create a problem. have i vaped things that are not water soluble? yes. did i do it a lot? no.... i can also tell you that vaping things like oils will likely ruin your coil in a very short period of time.

This may be a good experiment to do with some of the juice we buy commercially. Just to make sure they are making what they claim.

mix small amounts initially, dont mix a large amount and waste precious resources... until you know you will like it
