First time DIY question

[4am]

I've ordered a 50/50 pg/vg 18mg base from ecigexpress.com

For flavorings, I ordered 5 flavors from Capella:

Peaches n Cream
Vanilla Custard
Vanilla Cupcake
Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble
Bubble Gum

I also ordered some sweetner liquid from ecigexpress.com it says it uses basically splenda.

Is there anything in these items that I should beware of? I was just reading some other threads and realized there are some chemicals in certain flavorings that are dangerous to inhale.

Thanks for your help and any tips!!

A few thoughts...

You probably won't need any sweetener with Capella flavors.

To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any safety issues with Capella flavors.

If you wanted to vape your final product @ 18mg, you're going to fall short. Capella flavors usually mix at 15-20%, which will lower your nicotine percentage somewhat.

Have fun!

4am,
I have to remind myself often that most flavorings we use for vaping are primarily sold for food and cosmetic usage and are officially rated as healthy only for ingestion and/or skin care. Therefore, it is up to us to determine if there's an inhalation hazard. In the case of Capella, I would email them and ask if there's inhalation issues with any of your flavors, particularly the cream and bakery products, and tell them your intended usage.

Fortunately, some manufacturers have become aware that folks are buying their products for vaping and are posting inhalation warnings in the description of unsafe products. Personally, I do not trust the typical internet e-cig DIY resellers to post warnings about unsafe flavorings.

You also may want to try 5% flavor to start and build up from there. I just tried Capella's and they were pretty strong for me at 10-15 % so maybe try weaker first then add more drops. Plus steeping will make some flavors stronger that you can hardly taste first day. bnrk

Thanks so much for the replies! I usually vape at 12-18 mg so as long as it doesn't come out lower than 12, I will be pretty happy. And I will definitely start lower on the flavor. I will also send an email to Capella asking about the flavors!
