Ejuice DIY help, pls

[radamist]

Hello dear vapers.

Ok I'm noob and was not planning to DIY any juices at this stage at least.

To make it short: by mistake I ordered flavor concentrates from vapure.com instead of ready ejuices.
I read lot of forum posts in eliquid section but there are too much info and jargon for me.
Can any kind soul enlighten my path in few words and tell me what I must do whit those concetrates.
My understanding is (correct me if I'm wrong) I should by unflavored PG/VG 50/50 liquid (12mg nicotine) and then just mix with my concentrates but question is ratios, what size of unflavored liquid I must use with 5ml flavor concetrate?
Perhaps someone already got nice recipies I can try whith my concetrates.
here is the list of what I ordered
Flavor West 5ml Chocolate tobacco
Flavor West 5ml Honey Wood
Flavor West - 5ml Oriental tobacco
Lorann - 5ml Keoke Coffee

Thank you

Your best bet is to visit this section of the forum. You just need 5 posts and after an hour. You'll be able to make a thread there. Just welcome other new members and your good to go:

I hope you didn't try to vape the flavors.

We really don't advise beginners to DIY.

I would study the DIY section of this forum before doing it.

You would be much better off buying some eJuice.

You can just respond in this thread three more times and you can post everywhere in ECF - DIY stuff isn't something most new members get into.

That said, most flavorings are used as 5-15% of a juice batch, and you're better off starting on the low side in a little batch.

For example, to get a 5% test batch, you can just drip 19 drops of your PG/VG base and 1 drop of flavor into a small bottle, mix and vape. Many juices take a day or two to completely meld the flavors, so it may taste different then. If you like what you tested (and wrote it down for future reference), make more and enjoy! Good luck!

NOTE: Like the previous post, it may be better to just get some juice if you're at all uncomfortable.

Before attempting to make your own juice, visit the DIY subsection of this forum. The first thing any DIYer needs is a good recipe calculator; and to familiarize yourself with how to use it. Working with nicotine base liquid in high concentrations is dangerous, if you don't know what you're doing.

I am about to start making my own recipes also.I just started vaping and the prices of the ejuice verses making your own is a big diffecrence. Well that is if you can make something you like and you want to vape it.LOL

Thanks for the replies guys. I will try to read more in DIY forums.
You are right making ejuices is too early for me. I just didnt want to waste my mistakenly purchased concentrates.

440426 thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I don't see any harm in experimenting with low nic base juice and concetrates. I'll see how it goes.

In any case I'm not planning to continue making juices.

P.S. offtopic
shame that I abandoned playing WOW. WOW and vaping would be such a great thing

I started DIY within my first couple weeks of vaping and I haven't bought vendor juice in many months, Keoke Coffee is the only flavoring you bought that I've tried and I don't care for it but it straight but it might mix well with other flavors maybe with caramel or a little hazelnut I just haven't played around with it yet maybe I'll give it another shot on my day off. I keep looking at the Chocolate Tobacco just haven't ordered it yet

E-Liquid Recipe Mixing Calculator this is my favorite juice calculator becuase you can plug in the price of your supplies and see how much it cost per bottle to make and you can see your saving there are other calc in the links on the left hand side of the page DIY is fun and you'll get really good at it with a little practice

I am just starting with DIY.
Some are good, others are really bad.
I think it is just trial and error.
