Found my special blend

[xMackx]

Just got all my stuff today, ego twist 1000 with vivi mini nova, and my wizard labs order. The pg nuuport menthol I got tasted chemical like, refreshing but still didn't like the after taste. So I started playing with a few recipes and got a real keeper and found out I like VG best, pg/vg mix didn't agree with my throat. The keeper I made ended up VG based 5% commercial tobacco 5% brown sugar flavor and 10 percent warm water with dissolved menthol crystal. Taste just great, smooth tobacco flavor with a light sweet note and a light refreshing menthol.

Congratulations! And welcome to the wonderful world of DIY! We mix some bad ones, dump, start over and just when we think we're going to be sentenced to a lifetime of vaping dirty socks (or worse)---we find a keeper and life is good again!

Congrats, sounds great! I want to try it! What is the commercial tobacco and where do I get it? Also, the brown sugar? (I have some TPA brown sugar and menthol crystals.) Thanks!

Great job. I don't know why more people aren't messing with flavors. Even with stock juice a person can put a few drops of DIY flavor in just to add some depth. Realy pretty cheap, and fun.

I was surfing other parts of this forum and am still amazed people actually.. buy juice? I mean I understand DIY isn't for everyone. Not everyone has the time or the talent to use math and put flavors together. I know I should just keep my mouth shut but you can make some awesome custom juice with relative ease. Hard to believe everyone isn't doing it. I should just vape, smile and nod at my fellow DIYers who are in a custom club.

Maybe we should have the sub forum renamed to the DIY club.

I've been dabbling with DIY with mixed but good success. Still waiting to try a tobacco. For some reason they scare me. Probably the steep time!

The VZ super concentrated (and probably ECX but I haven't tried them) tobaccos don't really need steep time. They are better after a day or two. But good right after you mix. And a day or two is much better than weeks or months.

I use TA and Black Honey-tpa as my base.

Yeah I was thinking there should be 2 sub forums, because you have people mixing premade e-liquids DIY'ers and then there is bulk base ingredient DIY'ers. It really is way better for me to mix my own, not just the cost but finding what ingredients your body can handle (pg hates me).

A tip I have found out myself is add 10-15% water to thin out the VG in place of the pg if you're like me and can't handle pg.
