DIY mixing

[SteveMc]

Looking to order some things within the next few days as I want to try my hand at mixing my own juice.
LT Ecigs seems to be the recommended supplier so will be ordering some Diamond Crystal VG 18mg, now just need a source for flavours and some tips on mixing; ratios, steeping etc...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you going for 100% VG? it might make a difference with mixing/steeping etc.

You could look at LTs concentrate range, or consider getting a specific single make, like Capella or Decadent Vapour etc.

I'm going to get some ready-to-go 18mg from LT this week and make some up with existing concentrates I have, and some new ones too.

There is a whole Mixing thread on AAEC which should use UK-available concentrates.

Thanks, will be getting everything on LT, didn't see the flavouring earlier.
Looking to stay on VG, it's what I've started with and like it but as I don't know any better I'll maybe try PG or a mix of the 2 in the future. Any PG/VG mix recommendations?
Will check out AAEC too, thanks.

I certainly wouldn't recommend 100% PG. I have vaped it, but it's not so nice. 50/50 is great, I make 70/30 or 80/20.
I will go with the 50/50 LT 18mg for my next mixing experiment.
(anything to escape the awful taste of my cheap VG from the Chemist).

based on that I might try a 50:50, will let you know how it goes.
How long are you steeping?

Anything from 12 hours to 12 days. I'm not a big homemade fan, just do a few basics. I made an orange menthol using crystals which I vaped immediately....just shook the hell out of it for 5 minutes.
I have an American Red + Butterscotch which has been steeping since August.....lost and found that one! I might try it.

Order placed, got a bit carried away, lol.
Anyway, now have to practice patience...

Thanks for the help guys.

I got 500ml bottles of PG and VG for £4.99 each at OliverBrown. 1000ml is another £2 or so. They deliver free, and I had it in hand next day. Can't really beat that IMHO. I haven't been able to find the stuff on their website, but they have a shop on eBay.

500ml MPG Mono Propylene Glycol

500ml Vegetable Glycerol

Nice prices, will probably look at getting a litre of each from them in the future and a litre of 72mg nic base from Pirates-Vape.
