Hi, I'm new to vaping and have never even thought about making my own e-liquid. But I cannot find the perfect coconut e-liquid. So what I was thinking, if I have a pre made coconut e-liquid that I purchase from a vendor but it's too mild could I just buy Capella's coconut and add it drop by drop to the pre made juice until I get the taste I want?

On the search to buy or make the perfect coconut e-liquid.... :)

Sure.

Many people take Retail e-Liquids and add a Few Drops of Flavoring to make them Stronger. Or Add a touch of Sweetener to make them Sweeter.

Just go Slow. Because a Little Flavoring goes a Long Way.

Hello
For me I only DIY
You can add drop by drop but you know it always changes when it sits or steaps .
What I did to get my juice where I wished it to be was to mix 5 baches each stronger then the other ,let them sit a bit
( two weeks in glass ) then when I got to where I liked them and that's my way .
The weeker ones I added the drops I needed to make them good and the strong ones I just added a little Vg
Best wishes

Thank you zoiDman :)

No problem Dimplegirl.

This was in fact was how I got into DIY. I Couldn't find e-Liquids that I thought were Sweet Enough. And I had a small Array of Retail e-Liquids with so-so or Not so so-so flavors.

So I figured I could just Add Sweetener to those that were Not Sweet enough. And to the Others I would try to Save them by Adding another Flavor. Like Adding some Pineapple to a Crummy Cheery Flavor. Or maybe some Maple or Caramel to a Bland "Brown" Flavored mix.

Before I knew it, I was doing Full Blown DIY.

I wish I thought about this prior to dumping lots of e-liquid down the drain. Although I don't think it would have helped the ones with that bad chemical taste, yuck!!! I'm looking forward to becoming a vapetender ;)

Have you ever used Capella flavoring?

Don't feel Bad. Some Retail e-Liquids just Can't be Saved. So it Wasn't a Total waste.

I have Used Capella. They make some Very Good Flavors. As a One Stop shop though I tend to go more with The Flavor Apprentice (TFA).

Also, FlavorArt make some Very Good Fruit Flavors.
