DIY Progress :)

So a couple of weeks ago i started mixing my own liquids, Ordered the silver starter kit from Alchemists Cupboard and was very impressed with it;

1 x 50ml (72mg) Nicotine Base in VG
1 x 100ml PG
1 x 100ml VG
1 x 50ml Bottle
1 x 30ml Bottle
2 x 10ml Bottle
2 x 5ml Bottle
1 x 10ml Capella Drops Flavour (picked up Apricot for my first batch )

^ All for £23.50/$40

Used up most of the nicotine and a good chunk of the PG now, Made some pretty damned tasty liquids since and ordered 4 more Capella flavourings (Cherry, Pear, Peppermint and Cheesecake). The only flavour i'm not too impressed with is the Peppermint one which is a lot weaker than i thought it'd be

I am now absolutely hooked! Ordered another mixing kit just now for another full set of everything above and got some Ethyl Maltol coming. Heard the Ethyl stuff was essential for a few sweeter flavours or you'll end up using tons of the drops and since it only cost £1.99 i chucked it on too.

So impressed with Alchemists Cupboard, and very impressed with the liquids i've whipped up
Any other new DIY'ers hooked yet?

I prefer "sweetener" opposed to Ethyl Maltol when I just want to sweeten something. Difference between the two, as far as I know is that the sweetener I use is made from a Splenda type product whereas ethyl maltol is the stuff they make cotton candy vapes with... and to me it alters the flavor of the final product (sometimes for the better, don't get me wrong) whereas the other stuff only makes it sweet. Just something to keep in mind down the line. (i tend to prefer sweetener for fruits/desserts and ethyl maltol for tobacco/cigar/etc)

I'll see if i can pick up some of that sweetener this side of the pond, have you got a link to the one you use? I'll check it out see if i can find an equivilent

Sorry. I can't post links. There is a sweetener called stevia.

There was another thread about stevia. Someone liked the Kal brand. I looked at several brands at a store and some of them had other ingredients listed before the stevia.

I personally use this one:
TFA - Sweetener - MyFreedomSmokes.com
Like Rin13 said, this is "like" Splenda, since its based on sucralose. Has almost no aftertaste.
