Hello! I am a longtime lurker as Google searches often brought me here. I have decided to finally start making my own juice so I figured it would be a good idea to join. I also finally realized that vaping isnt only a vice, it is a hobby.

I am a lifelong Kansas City resident, 39 years old, male, and divorced. I have 2 daughters into their teenage years. I have been vaping for about 5 years now and used vaping to quit smoking. Outside of vaping, I enjoy reading, learning new things, playing with my dog, and fitness.

I have the following devices: Smok RPM 40, Geekvape Aegis Mini, Voopoo Nano, and iJoy Mercury (retired this device). I also have a couple of Juuls laying around but I never use them. I am sick of all juices being so damn sweet so I am onto making my own. I just ordered a kit. I generally enjoy coffee, dessert, and nut flavored juice.

Welcome to ECF. No idea about DIY, used to do it many years ago when nicotine ejuices weren't allowed where I live. No I'm finding what ejuices I like

I'm sure here you will find plenty help regarding DIY

You bought one of the better DIY kits, you could of done a lot worst. Next time you want to buy anything, it might be wise to run it by (in the proper forum) any group of vapers.

I'm a DIY fan but I also purchase juice occasionally, I tend to just go with the flow, keep the concentrate at recommended levels and just add until I like it, haha, not the best way but it still beats that insane sweet rubbish from the corner shop, all the best and welcome, yes, lots of DIY on this forum and I'm sure you will find something that you like

 

[Marper]

One of my favourite mixes is just lots of left over juice that I mix altogether in a 60ml bottle and I add about 10 to 15 drops of menthol concentrate, it's so nice, I'll never be able to repeat it but who cares, well on my way for my next Frankenstein mix, this time using mostly my own DIY juice

Dumps are always the best juices.

Dumps?

 

[Marper]

Dumps are little bits of e liquid that you throw together, I use a 60ml bottle and just squeeze the left overs in,then when its nearly filled I give it a good shake and then taste it, if its good I vape it, if it's bad I add menthol to it

 

[Letitia]

Dumps?

When you dump the last bit of your juices in the same bottle over time. I generally have 3 dump bottles going; an orange/lemon, a berry, and one for fruity creams. Takes several months to fill them up and are usually the best juices you'll create. Unfortunately the juice cannot be recreated.

 

[Marper]

All totally a one off but that's the magic of playing with your own juice and other juice, this dump I'm vaping right now is so nice, I've only got about 10ml left ,never to be repeated and that's the thing about vaping, I don't actually care about where or what my next flavour will be, I just enjoy
