DIY Newbie Juice help Please

[Caridwen]

I already visited the diy recipe section here, but sadly after i Placed my order, or I would of ordered a BUNCH more, so many flavors here and I think I just found a tasteful heaven lol I like the tart stuff and my gf likes the sweet stuff. Are there any other flavors that are bad for your vapor, or do they make glass tanks? Cinnayum is soooooooo good and was really excited to see the red hots. Looking for the jolly rancher green apple is how I found this forum and I really want to make that, and maybe add some caramel yummmmmy. eGO CE4 1100 mAh by Smokin Crow (Clearomiozer System) with 90 day warranty is the setup we bought and at first it worked but now it just isnt enough and I want to go further , are there any other suggestions to do a ugrade to? Go easy I am on a unemployed budget and my girlfriend is the bread winner as I became the stay at home mom, and socks and dishes SUCK! ! I was looking at a ego c twist for the variable voltage, and 36 bucks is something I can wing, I do look forward to being a part here and I dont know what I can do to contribute since you all are way ahead of me, but since I seen the replies I got, you made me feel right at home, thank you once again!

Some of the citrus and flavors like cinnamon will crack plastic tanks if you are using clearomizers.

You can use metal (like a cartomizer), glass or polypropylene (it has a frosted look).

I went the rout of premixed flavors at first, but then I got to thinking "why am I paying this much for PG when I can buy it for 20$/gal?"
So I now buy concentrate to put in the PG that I already have.

Because it's local, I buy my flavorings here:
Lorann - Shop By Brand


I use the KISS method when mixing.
I use 100mg PG nic base, and mix in pint canning jars.
50/50 mix of PG/VG in clear jars (used for reducing nicotine content when needed)
50ml of nic base, 150ml of PG, and 200ml of VG (12mg) in blue jars
100mg nic base in brown jars.

I will then mix flavors in 30ml bottles when needed, and add approx. 1 drop/ml of flavoring depending on the flavor.

Similar to my method. Quite frankly since every bottle of the same liquid I ordered from the same vendor tasted differently each day of the week.. I gave up on actual % and mixed until it seemed right. You go to a restaurant there isn't one chef worth his weight that uses a measuring cup. I have yet to make a liquid I didn't like. Once you get your nic correct.. the rest is easy. Even then vape more or less to get your nic fix.

HI everybody it has been a few days since I posted and I would love to say, you guys are awesome! My first few batches came out funky but with the great help you all have gave me I finally made something that I did not have to dump out lol The juice me up calculator was confusing at first but since you broke it down here it was just a newb mistake on my part. When I made my order I really wished I would of ordered more flavors instead of the redhot but hey it put my foot in the door and soon will be placing another order. I found some imitation carmel mix at wallyworld but sadly I didnt read here before I bought it, was really looking forwards to the caramel and I found a thread someplace here that suggested to not use it so oh well you live you learn. My girlfriend and I updated our tanks, and we bought the kanger2 and wow WOW what a difference. We originally was using this plastic one and the flavors are no where near what we are getting now!
