First DIY attempt and need recommendation if wrong!

[Scottinboca]

I just ordered from wizard labs 60mg vg nic, pg, TPA cinnamon redhots and koolada, and a graduated cylinder. I'm attempting to make a Fire and Ice vape at 18mg 30/70 vg/pg.
I plan to use:
TPA Cinnamon Redhots 16%
TPA Koolada 5%
60 mg nic vg base 30%
0mg pg base 49%

Please let me know if I have if this sounds like an error! Suggestions are strongly recommended

Hi Sweetie!

Welcome to the DIY section, you're gonna have a blast!!
Did you download breaktru's ejuicemeup calculator? It's the best.
IMO, the redhots % sounds a little high, others will definitely chime in.
There's a fab gooey butter cake recipe that I think you'll love, in the recipes section.

Again, welcome

Don't mean to be a buzzkill, but you should really read this thread before considering to vape the Red Hots:

Hey Scott, Your math seems right on your juice, But if i can send a word of advice your way!
It helps you make sample with no nic, just flavoring and vg/pg. It helps me see what flavor I have to decrease or increase.

TPA Redhots for me shine at around 5-8% (IMO)
TPA Koolada for me shines at around 3-5% (IMO)

But make sampes and see what you like and when you find the gem in the rubble, Add nic and make a bigger bottle!
Hope I can kinda help, if you need any help or have ANY questions, PM here or skype me!

Thanks, I will try that.

Scott, this may help you or not,
when making juice I always make 3 samples, usually 2-3ml apiece, yes i do it everytime especially when I don't have a recipe to follow:

1st batch- 5% flavoring try it and and maybe adjust
2nd batch try little higher if you think it may need it
3rd batch two 5mls worth make it at the original 5% and then the modified and let both sit for couple days and try it.
Then after I decide which is better I solidify that recipe.
But usually the recipes I have found on here with the exception of minor tweaks the percentages are awesome

Here is another PITA to bother you! I'm not sure the koolada will give you the full effect of what you are looking for, but maybe it's just me. I usually use menthol (mixed from crystals or any menthol really) with the redhots. I'd cut down on the % of redhots a little too. The koolada gives you the throat feel of menthol, but not the flavor per se, hard to explain. Hey, try it! If it isn't what you want, try the menthol instead, or in addition too. Good luck and have fun! DIY is the 2nd best part of vaping!!!

Thanks everyone for their suggestions I made my first batch. I mixed the redhots at %15 and the koolada at 5%. I think it came out great, but I will lower the redhots flavoring down to 10% on the next batch and add more if I need to. Thanks again for everyone's help!!!
