So with the huge amounts of knowledge here, I have completed my first bottle (small! 6ml) of diy juice. I got the kit from diyflavorshack and it really helps out with everything for a newb like me!

But I do have a question! Should I let this juice steep before I try it? Or just shake it up real good? I made strawberry cream soda (at least I hope I did) Did a 70/30 mix with 12 mg of nic. I used 20% flavoring, divided up with 10% strawberry and 10% cream soda. I'm not sure if thats way too much flavoring or not!

Try a bit. If it's good but lacks a certain something, a rest may bring out what's missing. If it's awful, a rest probably won't transform it into something great.

Sounds good! I need to get a better tank/atty to test these mixes i'm going to be making. I currently use the kanger protank, any suggestions on something else for testing?

Oh and btw, I'm a proud member of the fiend club...been rocking misfits since elementary/junior high!!

hahaha I never let anything really steep too impatient :) and I usually only make enough to fill my tank....I should probably start making larger batches to have on hand but then that takes half the fun of diy away :D

but I agree with the others, you should at least put some in a tank or something and try it out to see how it currently tastes so you can know if it might need some tweaking...

pretty much from what I've read steeping isn't going to really help a bad juice...steeping will more or less just give time for the flavors to all mix/settle together more....

but personally I mix and shake like crazy and vape...whereas others I know make large batches to steep and to have things on hand ready to vape at a moments notice...I'm just not sure yet what I may or may not like so I diy on the fly and change things up each time. New flavors or new tweaks to the mix.

I guess if I ever end up mixing something that I really just love, I'll then make a large bottle to steep and have on hand ready to go...

So I just put it in my tank, The flavor is kinda subtle, very good throat hit though, good amounts of vapor. I'll have to vape it a bit more to really put my finger (or taste buds) on what is missing.

I def taste the strawberry, not so much on the cream soda flavor...maybe i need more of that than the strawberry. All in all it doesn't taste horrible and not like wet socks like I read from other first timers!
