DIY'ers juice trading method

[nnote]

Been trading juices with some people, and looking at all these little glass bottles came up with a new method.. well that's probably already been done like everything else ingenous I come up with.
It only works for DIY folk but going to start trading some with juice concentrate, or my own glass bottles of flavorings.
I.E. my fav DIY juice is total 34% flavor PG base, (and gonna stick with increments of 10).. but in the calc I can put "xxjuiceconcentratexxx" at 34% and calc tells me for a 20ml bottle that's 6.8 ml of flavorings, which is max I can put in the 8ml glass bottle without going over in increments of 10ml finish juice.
So, I know I can make concentrate for 20ml that will fit in the glass bottle. Go back to original recipie, put in that I want to make 20ml and then put ONLY the flavorings in the little glass bottle. Label it and mark the name of the juice and "34% or 13.2 base for 20ml"
Whomever recieves my juice can just make small amounts of whatever their nic vg pg preference is by just adding 34% my concentrate or just dump it in a 13.2ml base to get a 20ml mix.
Kinda like recieving flavors from WL, you can customize it to however you want but the known suggested is 34%
It will cut down on packaging, shipping, excess bottles and it will recycle these little glass vials. And for sure if I know someone is low on pg vg or nic I will just make them the full juice but I think this idea is a good alternative.
Hope I explained it well

Are you looking to sell or trade or give out?

Nnote later tonight we need to skype I think i came up with something that topped my last batch! and I'm all for that idea! ^^

Hey will up here in Mesa...
A variety... Like to trade juice, would love to sell juice, but right now I only have 3 all day vapes I DIY. That's a good start but not much for a juice selling base. I certainly don't mind giving out either as long as I have enough for my own all day vaping. Of course giving out some samples would be necissary for a small time juice biz.
Buzzbait up above is a steller juice maker too.. would be great for 4 or 5 juice makers to co-op on a small juice biz
/siderant speaking of small time juice biz's... wow amazed at the ones I found that just sell recipies they found on the net or very generic throw 6% of this and 5% of this in a bottle and call it good....
the reason I only have 3 all day vape DIYs is because I make unique stuff of my own creation that take time to come up with, but I could have 30 juices if I just threw generic stuff together.

I just started diy and have just been making simpl flavors.Havnt come up with any recipes yet but when I do maybe we can swap some samples so far my only all day vape is HFC from vaping zone.Going to try and mix some flavors when I get my next order from WL.What flavors are your all day vapes?

 

[nnote]

For sure Will, pm me an address and a nic preference, I'll send you some 5ml of my fav DIY. I have actually 4 DIY which are my all days, peach tart - a full flavored sweet bakery Vape, fuzze - a tart and sour Vape that's inspired by a liquor and changes with every Vape taken, Ms. violet - a very aromatic candy type flavor and Lush - a creamy mellow just that's just delicious.
I prefer full flavor juice, and actually prefer my juice over any vendor juice. I will say though I probably have about 50 mls of junk juice I made that probably isn't redemable no matter how long steeped!

Well thank you nnote and yes I think a team is in the process with you and myself, and if i don't say so myself, Nnote your 'PeachTart' is easily one of my all day vapes!

I love this idea! I just started DIY myself too, but have thought about something like this long before I even took that DIY decision leap.

I've always been curious if it was OK for us to sell our DIY openly here, or if it needed to be given/sampled to users, or at least sales taken to PM's or something like that.

Trades, small bottles, flavoring mix only, ect all sound like great plans to me! Each user could decide what they want to offer, that way there's some variety on what's available to users at any given time.

Hopefully we can get and keep this ball rolling, I'm down!

This is an interesting concept. However, I fear that it would turn into a profiting enterprise, rather than idea to help one another find vaping zen.

One way to alleviate said issue would be to offer the recipe with sent samples, or trades.

 

[nnote]

Originally posting I was not talking about profit or selling, only a more economical method of trading juice with other DIY people.

 

[Aurora-Oblivion]

Ya, sorry for mentioning sales! That wasn't my main thought or intention with that comment. I really only mentioned it because that was my initial considerations about what to do with DIY flavors we didn't prefer but thought others might enjoy. And I wasn't sure if we could give them away like in a PIF or something, so I thought maybe we'd need to either trade or sell them.

I'm definitely interested in trading all forms of DIY though, and I think it's an awesome way for us to learn more about flavors ourselves and I'm sure it would help us improve our own mixes as well. I think whatever a member has to offer up would be up to them, flavoring, pre-mixed, ect and then acceptance and counter trade or not would be decided between the two trading members.

I do also agree with what Levitas mentioned, since this would not be for profit and would mainly be to explore flavors, others tastes, learning, ect I tihnk it would be great if trading members could also share their recipie with the accompanying mix. Not sure if that should be mandatory though, but encouraged would maybe be best practice?

All just my thoughts though guys, this is your plan! I'm definitely interested in this though, and would love to take part once things get going, no matter how it all goes down!

 

[glassmanoak]

I'm definitely interested too. I have a bunch of small glass bottles from Wizard Labs.

By all means, I don't think it is unnecessary to send "SAID" recipe with samples, and ill tell you why I wont ever give out my recipes again!

Iv'e had 3 of my recipes that i have given out to "US" vapers, and they have been turned around and sold on different vendors websites.
Then I had to go on missions and talk to the vendors myself, Because if I'm not selling it, why should they!
This project me and Nnote are starting has nothing to do with profit nor selling, We want to spread our diy creations with other vapers, and yes I'm a good friend of Nnote, and his/our intentions are not to make $$$$ but to simply trade diy juice with others, because me and Note have been trading juice and collaborating on recipes for quite some time now and hands down, iv'e tried vendor juice and I HATE IT! Not to sound cocky but a lot of vendor juice iv'e had and iv'e had a lot of it, doesn't compare to the diy iv'e had from multiple people!


Did not mean to sound rude but giving the recipe out with the sample is unnecessary and in my book is a complete NO-GO.

 

[nnote]

Exactly ^^^ I wont be sending my recipie, but I will send other DIY'rs a bottle of mine or a glass vial of concentrate for trade!

Im going to try and make a chocolate cupcake mix and a chocolate honey tobacco soon if your interested in trying either of these and I will PM you my address if you still wanted to send me sample of your stuff

I only mentioned it because the OP had mentioned that he would enjoy selling juice, although he isn't prepared in recipes (that's what I got from one of the responses). My point could easily be misconstrued, allow me to clarify. You wouldn't be sending DIY juices with vendors, as you had said you had some issues with a vendor in this spectrum. You would be sending them to other DIY'ers.

Perhaps it is just me, but, I don't really care if a vendor sells my recipe for profit, or not. What would you wish for, royalties? I believe it to be more beneficial to keep recipes in the open, to help one another find a niche that we can enjoy. This also allows us to know what flavor profiles we enjoy, so that in future discussions, we can "latch" onto one who has very similar taste preferences. If your recipe had TFA Ripe Banana, and I knew that ahead of time, I could avoid it like the plague (as I do not care for that flavor), know what I mean?

At any rate, I am in no way downing the idea, or disrespecting yours, or anyone's wish to keep their recipe under the radar. I am merely expressing my opinion on the matter

On that note: Come on, come all lurking juice vendors. Levitas' recipes are fair game, and are up for grabs!

 

[Iffy]

I believe in a Vapepedia ® genre concept. Any recipe that I develop and like will always be available for those that want it. If someone makes some bucks, then my bad in not doing so myself.

Just my .02 FRN...

I've been planning to start a flavor only swapping thread. This idea sounds similar. (And a Goff idea if allowed) But... If we were to start swapping mixes. I don't see the point of sharing the mix if you don't share the recipe. If you receive something you like, you would want to be able to recreate it. No?

 

[nnote]

Basicly pizza, a flavor swapping manner yes. But I do stand by that I will swap flavors, but my recipies I will be keeping to myself - though I will hapilly swap a vial of flavor with people.
I've seen someone post their recipie on here, and not long after a vendor post about this great flavor they came up with and are going to start selling which happened to be the exact same recipie. If the vendor asked ok, but they basicly just ripped it off and claimed they came up with it.

I'm beating the dead horse by saying this, but, isn't the idea to trade with other DIY'ers, not vendors? If you included the recipe with a mail sent package, how would vendors be able to utilize the recipe? Unless your fear is that the person whom you shared your recipe with would leak its contents on the internet. I imagine a certain code of honor amongst the DIY community would be in place to keep the recipe within closed doors, so to speak.

Again, no offense intended.
