I'm going to head to the science surplus tomorrow, if not then tuesday for sure. I don't think drops are really doing the trick. I believe that drops from different bottles aren't exact enough to know what I'm mixing in.

Also, I'm going to head over to Hobby Lobby or Michael's to buy a bottle of LorAnn's out of their direct bottling. I'm just not completely trusting the bulk bottles from the online vendors. You really don't know what they put in these generic bottles. You don't know if they cut them or filled them with the advertised flavoring vendor.

Yea I would recommend spending another $45 or so and get some tobacco flavors I have a post here in this area starting with " I ordered em and ended up getting" look in there and u will get an idea of a beginner diy flavoring list. The more u have of course the better you can find a good flavor for yourself.

Thanks, K3vin. <--- I like how I'm just typing it like you made it, with the 3. I just came back from the surplus store with about 11 bucks worth of supplies. I mixed up a 5 ml batch that really does look like 5 mls. It should, I measured the stuff. Drops just doesn't cut it. I'll see how this comes out now. Also, I started with 15% flavor, against all the recommendations to start small. Honestly, I don't think small is the way to go. The only pre-mixed juice that I can really taste the flavor is cinnamon. Everyone knows how strong of a flavor cinnamon is, so I probably need more than everyone else. If it really ends up being too much, I can cut it. You can't take flavor out, but you can cut it down. There's always a way.

I'm hoping that people are still reading this. Update on this 5ml sample.

I made it around 3:00pm, and stuck it in my drawer, open, while I went to work.

24mg/ml
75/25 pg/vg
15% flavor

I did a finger test on it, and boy was it strong. Instant uncontrollable hiccups, but I thought I always ordered 24mg of nic. Just seemed a bit stronger than my usual juice. Then I put some in a tank and vaped it. I could actually taste some flavor, not a lot, but it was definitely there. The throat hit was ok, but could use a little bit more, and perhaps a bit more vapor.

This has been about 6 hours of sitting there. Should I wait longer before making changes to it? If so, when should I try it again? Is there something else I can do to it?

I'd recommend waiting at least a couple of days before changing anything.

I don't recommend tasting it directly with your finger either, you'll absorb more of the nic that way and may get sick; but that's just my opinion.

I understand about not recommending what I do, but I haven't gotten sick in 7 months of doing that. When I started this, and subsequently found ECF, I found that a lot of people get mouthfulls of juice from their cartos. Once that happens, it's too late. Nobody has reported getting sick yet, and when it happened to me from my old Njoy, I learned that the stuff gives me hiccups. I can deal with that. Just need a drink near by.

So, you're another one of those/me. Good deal. I edit my posts all the time because I spelled something wrong, or said something that reads funny. I pride myself on being literate, so I don't want anyone to see my mistakes.

I'm the same way. If I don't care what I write why should someone else read it?

I also spend a lot of time thinking out my reply, because with my ADHD things tend to come out backwards of how I meant them, so unless I get really heated about something (which is rare), I reread what I typed several times. Sometimes I miss one until I hit the post button, usually noticing it right as I click :facepalm: So I edit it as quickly as possible so no one catches it...hopefully. :p

Mostly because I'm a perfectionist though:D
