DiY setups . Figured id share

[Str8V8ping]

I was taking some pics of things and snapped a few pics of my DIY setup . Not everything but where i keep my nic,my mix station and flavoring drawer as well as how i test my new flavorings individually . I also have a whole other drawer with my bottles ,syringes etc not shown . Hope you like . Post pics of your setups as well ?

Testing flavorings in my mixing station

Mixing station - I have syringes dedicated and marked for each flavoring .

My flavoring draw . I made a cool rack out of a old cardboard box . Worked out great but im needing to make a bigger one lol.The drawer actually goes back further with more flavorings not shown lol

My nicerator aka Mini nic fridge . Its a awesome little fridge that i got for 39.00 on amazon . Holds quite a big more than i originally thought and is cold enough to leave frost on the bottles plus it looks cool with its old fasioned coca cola design . Bottom is all nic from RTS(highdesert) and GP . 240ml and 120ml bottles and top rack is PG,VG and another bottle of nic

I like your little storage unit for flavorings. I just showed it to hubby and asked him to build me one. He said he'd been thinking about something along that line for several days. That's cool!

Thanks .Its easy just fold up some cardboard like a accordian and put a rod through the bottom to hold its shape .Its really solid . Theres actually another two rows it goes back thats not shown .They also sell real ones like that on ebay but they are expensive . No need to pay 30 bucks when cardboard works just as well .

So walk me through the process.... You get a new flavor and want to try it out, you do what? Do you test it individually or mix it with other flavors? Are the 5 bottles and attys to test at different percentages? Why all the syringes? Do you always measure using the syringe or do you count drips?

I make 3ml for testing
At first I used a syringe that I would place in the bottle. Measure out my nic, vg and flavoring, then push into the bottle.
Then I started counting drops. Measured out how many drops of nic, vg, pg, and flavoring that equaled 1ml and entered it into my calculator so I won't forget. I give it a hot bath then taste in my atty. Sometimes I mix with nic, sometimes I make a no nic juice. With the no nic, I add drops of flavoring until I like the taste.

You should make a video of you testing a new flavor

Pretty simple . 5 different bottles for 5 different flavors in 5 different attys . Each bottle gets 20 drops of pg/vg and starts off with one drop of flavor . 20drops to 1 drop flavor=5% flavoring .If its too strong at 5% i add 20 more drops of pg/vg to cut it in half . If not i continue with the chart below . After each drop i vape it .

20drops PG/VG
1 drop =5%
2 drop =10%
3drop= 15%
4drop= 20%

40drops pg/vg
1drop=2.5%
2drop = 5%

Simple test to determine the approx sweet spot and how i like the flavor .

Also yes when mixing flavors i always use syringes . Just find it more accurate ecpecially since i use more then one flavor brand in a mix . If i set the calculator up for capellas 34 drops then use a TPA flavor also the drops wont be right .

Think this weekend I will finally put together a juice shelf like the following that I made for someone else. Mine will of course have different size holes, or maybe i'll just route out edges so that it can fit any size bottle.



Right now i'm using gravity to keep everything organized , Doesn't all fit in my tackle box anymore.

Ohhhhh... nice shelf! And gravity seems to be working pretty well... Which vendor did you get the gravity from?

 

[Str8V8ping]

Nice rack . I wish i had the room for one like that . The good thing about mine although not as neat as yours is it doesnt take up much space in a draw .

 

[Iffy]

Nice rack .

Jealously agree!

Bout to use this to test the TPA Pear that Minigoat sent. Wish me luck

i didnt think i would like pear but someone sent me a diy juice with pear and green tea in it...two flavors i didnt think i would like..they are a nice change together

 

[Bostonsnboxers]

StrV8Vping, you're so......organized! lol!

That's great, and I'll get there someday I'm trying to figure out a spice rack type shelf to hang on the wall for flavs. I just think it would be so cool to have them all there lined up at eye level within easy reach!

Pear green tea sounds good. Lipton's makes an apple green tea and it is BOMB! Just tried the Pear at 5, 10 and 15% flavoring. 15% is my sweet spot. The flavor really comes through and it is yummy!

Ready for sanding/finish. Went for grooves instead of holes in order to accommodate diff bottle sizes

I love this! I showed it to hubby with a "hint, hint" look in my eyes. lol That one would be easy to expand, if needed. Thanks for sharing!

 

[minigoat]

Hope he isn't mad at me - lol

 

[Rin13]

That's really cool. I don't have a setup type thing. I don't really have enough to at this point.. I will say though... That any non-vaperer looking at it would probably be scared. All those syringes and bottles of liquid. Lol
