Depends on the math I suppose, but there are e-liquid calculators online and also available on the iOS Appstore(at least there used to be) and the the Android Play Store.

Usually as simple as
Input Concentrated Nic value
Input Desired Nic Value of juice
Input PG/VG ratio
Input flavoring percentage desired
Input total desired juice size (if you want a 10mL batch, enter 10mL)

Now whether or not you like your creation, thats another story. But if you get into it there are some decent recipes online (google e-liquid-recipesDOTcom)

I'm definitely going to have to look into this more. I didn't realize it could be this cheap. Not to mention that it gives me an excuse to have "lab equipment", and fulfill my inner childs desire to be a "mad scientist" lol

Definitely gonna have to go back to that weird antique shop in my hometown that had glass syringes. Just because they're awesome.

Indeed. I have a handful of premium juices that I love but at $16-25 a pop I just can't do it. These days I am going through 20mL-30mL a day so I basically have to DIY now.

And buying in bulk makes it even cheaper. Bottle price aside ( almost negligible $0.10-0.20 for plastic $0.50-1.50 for glass ussually) I can make 30mL for about a dollar or so.

That e liquid recipes or vaping _ground by chance?


20mL to 30mL's a day? DAYUM. And I though I was a chain vaper.

Yeah, I'm definitely not a tootlepuffer that's for sure. I bought one of my favorite juices (Head in the Clouds(Assuming no relation to HeadInClouds[HiC] the user) - Tropical Skattle Storm) for $16 at 9AM and it was empty by 8PM... I wasn't very happy.

.................. dot com one word. He has the best recipes over 100+ free & at Hicmixes dot com to purchase. I spent so much $ on flavoring going through recipes online on e-liquid dot com. Hic's recipes are "flavor nirvana!" Better than any retail juices at high $. Try some of his free recipes. Like Lemon Meringue Pie to die for lol. I've never have real Lemon Meringue Pie but it's so good! All his recipes are!

Kind of a crap picture, I know :p

What can I say... I'm loving it! :D So much so that I have been neglecting my Aromamizer (Aro) ever since. As this is only my 3rd atty/tank, I can only compare it with my Aro. The deck is more spacious, which allowed me to install a dual clapton build horizontally, something which is difficult with the Aro. The air flows on it are nice and big too, which feed air in directly underneath the coils. It produces nice flavour and vapour, and IMO the vape on it cooler than the Aro.

There are 3 gripes I have about it though. 1) Gurgling and spit back (could be minimised if I use a 510 drip tip but I haven't tried it). 2) Leaking from the airflow holes (at random).
Both of the above issues have decreased recently, but it's still there. I hope I can fix them by revisiting the deck and rewicking it better. ATM I have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't soak up my mod.

3) Geek Vape does need to up their quality control. I actually ordered for and received my first Griffin two weeks ago. It arrived with a broken glass tube and one of the screws on the deck was completely stuck. And even though I had to wait for a replacement unit, the wait for worth it.

Yeah I am done with them. These days, it should never take 10 days to get something when they are in the same state. I'll stick with vapenw and eciggity never one problem with them and never had an order take over 4 days.

I had a fair bit of leaking at first and spitback/gurgling. The inner oring at the top of the chimney right above the fill ports was not sealing, replaced it with one of the included spares and haven't had a drop leak since, and spitback/gurgling has pretty much disappeared as well. I also wicked down into the channels so that the wick is visible for about half holes. Having it tucked just into that ring like some reviewers say didn't work so well for me.

I'm running dual fused clapton, 2x28ga core 32ga outer 5 wraps at 2.5mm, .3 ohms. I can chain vape at 55 watts without a hint of a dry hit, haven't pushed it up higher so see how far it can go because I'm enjoying it at 55w.
