Does diy juice taste better?

[Matt Marshall]

To be honest with you I have been buying g2 juices for a few months now and I can safely say that as premium as they may be. They are totally inconsistent, I have a bottle of blue pop shock currently that Is unvapable I mean it is horrific. Also I'm vaping about 6ml a day in my subtank so I'm basically spending the same as what I did as a smoker which is not acceptable. If diying is going to be hit or miss I'm really no worse of than buying juices that reputable suppliers can't even seem to get there own recipes right. It's so frustrating

To Me, Sucralose is a Much Sweeter Sweetener that Athyl Maltol (EM).

You can Only go so far with EM. And then things start to taste like Chemical Meh. But you can make a e-liquid taste like Liquid Sugar if you want with Sucralose. And Sucralose needs No Real Steeping Time.

Just make sure to buy Pure Sucralose in a PG Solution from a Place that sells DIY e-liquid supplies.

Yes, and I find that the TFA Sweetener is WORLDS better than EcigExpress' version, even though both are just sucralose; the ECX brand sweetener has a much more cloying, artificial taste; the TFA is just sweet, no artificial taste.

It could be the PG that EcigExpress uses.

I have tried a Few brands. I always came back to TFA. Finally just broke down and bought a 16 OZ Bottle of it.

Try to mix that bottle again with cappuccino mixer. Or if you dont have it you need to shake it like crazy for 5 minutes. Same thing happened to me with Sweet tooth. I didn't touch it for 15 days, because i was vaping my juice and what happened is that sugar crystals drop on bottom and juice was bitter.
My mr. cookie and caRny4 was always 5 stars.
I am buying at web shop where is 17.50€ for 30ml which is a lot less then in GB but shipping is 13€ so i need to buy for 100€ or it doesn't get profitable.

Mixing at home is MUCH cheaper. I've brought down my costs to about 5 and a half cents per milliliter. That being said, I have gone overboard a bit and have purchased additional equipment like an mixing plate for stirring and glass bottles. I would put my juice up against anybody, anywhere. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying that my home brew is as at least as good as anything I've ever bought.

I started 3 years ago with volts and liked some of their flavors. Then I moved to Vivi's and bought Dekang. YUCK! Found AiV, and while worlds better, way too subtle. So I started to DIY. Some were OK, but lots I had to toss. Then I found a vendor (Ahlusion) that gives me military discount, coupons, has frequent sales and a generous sample policy. I average about $0.24/ml and they really make great juice. Taking advantage of the sales, coupons, discounts and free shipping, buying it costs my wife and I about $24/month for BOTH of us. Well worth not having to deal with DIY.

That's one of the reasons that I started diy, to avoid having to try sooo many different juices. I tried one of Five Pawns juices recently and it made me gag as it tasted like cat piss. I was actually upset that someone would make the stuff. Most of my brew is 1 flavor and I've never tried mixing more than 3 together. My wife laughs at me because I've spent so much to quit smoking just to find a new hobby.

Heh.. I haven't gone QUITE that far yet, but last time, I got a 120ml bottle of it.

With those numbers, that would mean you and your wife each vape about 1.5 ml of juice per day, if I understand you correctly.
That is a very small amount and if I could vape for $12 per month for just myself, I might be inclined to not DIY like you.
But, you could bring that $24 per month down to $5 per month.

My 2 pennies.

The main reason I started to DIY didn't have a LOT to do with the price... most of the juices I bought were not *terribly* expensive, I think the costliest was probably sweet-vapes.com, 9.95/15ml. But with all the different specs I require -- WTA, 84% PG, great TH, 10mg, strong and sweet -- you cannot find that with bought juice, you have to either mix a lot of diff bought juices, or just DIY your own. Once I got tired of all the figuring necessary when mixing premade juice, I just said the hell with it and went with from-scratch DIY -- it's actually far easier that way, to get everything that I require from my vape.

Discovering the $$$ savings was just a big fat sweet cherry on top.

Someone who just wants a vaguely tobacco-flavored juice to take the place of cigarettes... no real need for DIY unless you're like me, a real tightwad penny-pincher. I used to get MFS' "Virginia" for $26/60ml... pretty decent price. But I can't stand that taste anymore, and I don't care for their non-tobacco flavors of ejuice.
