First time DIY'ing....one question...thanks

[chimsweep]

So I went the easy way and ordered 236ml of unflavored nic at 36mg from MtBakerVapor and flavors. Great deal...or so I thought. My question may have already been answered multiple times, but I perused the threads and couldn't find my answer. I find the flavors on the weak side and have to go to 30% to 40% flavor and I don't think that's correct. My calculations are pretty right on. My nic juice is 65/35 at 36mg. So the question is really your opinion. Does anyone have experience with MBV and what are your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I've never used their stuff. That sounds like a huge percentage though. I tend to use maybe 15% to 20% total flavor, sometimes even less depending on the flavors. Wish I could help.

Mind sending me a link of the flavor you are using? Are you sure it's an extract and not a premixed flavor?

The flavorings may be very diluted. I would suggest purchasing some quality flavorings elsewhere. This is a copy from the usa type flavoring....



You are purchasing 15ml of USA Blend Electronic Cigarette Flavoring.

Our 100% USA made concentrated USA Blend flavoring is perfect for use with your nicotine juice. Mixing juice yourself is a very economical and is a very simple process. This is the same flavoring that we use in all of our E Juice.

USP kosher grade flavoring. Artificial color and Diacetyl free. No added salts or sugars.

We recommend the concentrate to be mixed at 15% - 40% with unflavored Nicotine Juice. 236 ml Unflavored Nicotine Juice USA made - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

Ingredients List: Natural and/or Artificial Flavoring, Propylene Glycol and Alcohol.

I believe it's a premixed flavor..I just went and looked to be certain. PG/VG 65/35 I believe. They must make the flavor carrier the same ratio as you order the nic juice.

 

[chimsweep]

Yes, I think both of you solved the my mystery together. Thanks. I was reading some of the threads and talked about some flavoring just add 5 drops per 10ml......that's got to be some serious flavoring. Where do you get most of your flavorings?

 

[MiamiMom63]

Yea, I agree with Sdh. I just read the review under their USA Blend flavor and the guy said he used 4 ml of flavoring to a 15 ml batch so that makes me think the flavoring is a little weak.

you gotta get condensed flavors...i recommend flavour art - ecigexpress

High desert Vapes has a nice selection from different places to try. Also My Freedom Smokes, Wizard Lab.

Thanks darkhood, I read your suggestions for DIY a few weeks ago.....and again I didn't heed the advice. I almost went with their Artisan Kit, but MBV looked real simple and the nic juice was on sale.

thanks Mmom and sdh also.

 

[MiamiMom63]

Also, I can get 500 ml nic unflavored at 48 mg nic for $39 from my freedom smokes.

I suggest the superconcentrates TE or FE line by ecigexpress or the vapingzone super concentrates. Hangsen flavorings are a nice flavoring as well 5-8% depending on the equipment one is using.

BTW: the super concentrates are like a no fail diy. 2.5% to start.

P. S. I don't like most vendor e-liquids. I am very particular with taste. I enjoy pipe, cigar and tobacco variants. Therefore, YMMV on your particular taste/perception.

+1 I get everything from ECX and mix ratio is 15-20% flavor maximum.

They have a HUGE selection of tobacco flavors.

 

[the_vape_nerd]

ecigexpress i think has the largest flavor selection

their own line which i guess is like their own brand to me is the best...its super concentrated and most of the flavors you need to you 5% or less...if you are into tobaccos it'll be like 1-2%

good luck and welcome to DIY

Also MBV gets their flavors from flavor west, so you could go to the source.

Hmmm....thanks for the info FNoob......sdh thanks for the link..that cig juice at 48mg sounds extra reasonable.

I've gotten a few mbv, Fw and dutch apple pie was good @ 15% really good my ecto went from 10-18% but i might go 20-22 but i've heard most FW are a 15+ but wow 40% thats insane it'd have to be dilluted or you would'nt taste a thing i almost did ecigexpress n prolly try em for flavoring after i fool w mbv stuff. I get my nic 120ml 60mg from rts 15.95 so for 12mg nic it makes 5x 120 enough nic for 600ml @ my strength w shippin i think it's 20 so $1 per 30 ml for my nic. I've also liked a few off the tfa flavours i got from rts...
