Diy problems Help!

[Meli9254]

Hello to all!

Ok having problems with Diy. Made my first batch 5 10ml bottles after 2 weeks of steeping all are still clear.

Bought 100mg Nic, Pg, Vg & Tfa flavors from wizard labs. Used amber glass dripper bottles stored in a dark closet.

Mixed at 70/30 10mg nic. Used one different flavor for each bottle at 7% using e juice me up calc.

Please help! Thanks!

Nothing wrong with clear... clear is good. How is the flavor and nic delivery? That's all we are after with DIY.

Did you breathe them at all? Normally what I will do is leave them in a dark cool place for 48 hours, and twice a day open the bottles for 10min and let them breathe, then shake them up. This helps to get rid of the perfuminess. Also remember that they don't have to change color. A lot of mine will just turn a slight yellor color from the nicotine mixing with air. It really depends on the juice.

Tasted one and it tastes ok, I was just worried I forgot something like to shake nic or something.

Thanks I did open bottles but not twice a day.

Well my own procedure varies quite a bit from what others recommend on here, and I don't bother with steeping at all. I'm not inclined to go against the herd on this, so just listen to them. Good luck.

Clear is not indicative of a bad batch. Not all mixes will change colors. Even with many different methods of aging, the molecular composition is the important part. Taste upon mixing, then taste after aging.

Thank you, everyone seems to talk about that amber color. All the juices I bought are colored.

The amber color I find to be due to several contributing factors.
1) Suraclose in the flavoring
or
2) The nicotine itself is naturally semi tinted. It'll change the color of uncolored mix.

I can't see where anything is wrong. Most of my juices are close to clear because of the flavorings I use. Now some of the cappuccinos and peanut butter can get rather dark. Have fun with it. There are also some wonderful DIY threads on ecf that will help with % recommendations. There are some great people to help you with anything, anytime. Have fun and happy mixing.

Thanks! Nic was very clear and didn't use sweetener.
