DYI Question

[CanWEBada]

Before I place my order for some DYI Tools could Someone maybe explain to me in laymen terms the simpleless way to make my own ejuices.

I want a Good Vaper and Throat Hit so what measurements should I use ?

Please give examples for a 3ml bottle and a 6ml bottle.

Thanks

Um, I'd really recommend spending some time reading the Stickys and looking at a mixing calculator or three.

But, you want big TH and vapor, that's easy.
1ml of pure capsaicin extract
2ml of VG

Double for 6ml bottle.

You should be choking on huge plooms of vapor with that mix!

Now, on a serious note...
TH and nic strength are tied real closely. You don't indicate a nic level.

Flavors change TH too. You have nothing about what kinds or types of flavorings you intend to use.

For vapor production, VG, the higher the VG, the greater the vapor. Also the greater the VG, the more you lower TH.

Maybe provide an example of what you think is the perfect balance between TH & vapor production???

See, what works great for me would leave my cousin on the floor hacking and unable to breathe and make my sister hit me.

So, I'm betting that some more info might help us out here.

Really seriously... Don't try that first recipe unless you can chew jalapenos for breakfast and wash them down with a hot cup of Tobasco.

My method was easy as pie. I couldn't measure using the pipettes because the stuff was so thick.

I ordered an empty 60 ml bottle to make my "stock" in. I ordered 125 ml of 60 mg Nic juice and 250 ml of VG. You will want to order a bottle of PG too though, since you want the throat hit.

I used tablespoons for measuring my liquids. One Tablespoon is 15 ml . I chose 60 mg Nic to start because I knew it would be very easy to turn it into 30 mg, 20 mg and 15 mg, 12 mg, 10 mg in different batches.

To make my 15 mg juice, I put in 1 Tbs of 60 mg Nic and 3 Tbs of VG. You would do 1.5 tbs VG AND 1.5 tbs PG.- a 1:3 ratio
To make 20 mg nic juice, you would put in 1 Tbs 60 mg Nic juice to 1 Tbs VG AND 1 Tbs PG to get you to 20 mg stock- a 1:2 ratio

I just made my brother some and he wanted 24 mg. I did the 20 mg recipe above and added 1 teaspoon more of the 60 mg nic juice. That got him to 23.3 mg.

I ordered a bunch of 6ml squirt top bottles. I pour my stock from my 60ml -15mg juice into those lil bottles and then add the flavorings to those. It makes it so easy My 60 ml stock last me about 3 weeks so I don't have to worry about making juice all the time.

If you are ordering 100 mg Nic juice to start, I would suggest making your stock in a 100 ml bottle. It will make measurements easier to figure out easily in your head.

Make sure you wear gloves! make sure you shake all your bottles vigorously before mixing-especially the high mg Nic juice! And shake your stock well after mixing.

Let me give you a hint too. I just found Perfumer's Apprentice and they sell flavoring samples for $1.40 for 4 ml! Meanwhile, I have spent $110.00 on 16 flavorings in the last month because I didn't know I could get sample sizes for that cheap! So go crazy on flavorings but get the small sizes!

Good luck to you! DIY is dirt cheap to do! Excluding those 16 flavors, it costs me @25 cents a day to vape in juice costs!

Here is a suggestion: Make small batches first. The biggest expense is your nic juice so save that aside for the moment. Get an ejuice calculator (this will help in determining percentages of what). Take a 3ml bottle. Add 1ml of PG and 1ml of VG. Now start adding your flavors but remember to write down your drops of whatever flavor you're using. Add flavors slowly since alot of them are stronger than you think. Once you think you have achieved the right taste to your liking (vape some on and off and add however much more you think you may need), add your nicotine liquid in place of either the plain vg/pg. Make a larger batch by multiplying out what you have wrote down. I do it this way simply because if I don't like what I made, I pour it out and have not wasted my precious nic liquid.
