If you have an I phone there is app for $1.99 that's very easy to use. Works well and you are able to save your recipes.

ive been reading and rereading and rereading. i think im missing something
lets say i order 100mg or 36mg nicotine( i read that we are not suppose to talk about a higher concentration, but still see it mentioned, but i will gladly delete if its a nono)
then i have my pg/vg 50/50. how the heck am suppose to know how many ml of nic to add?, im not seeing any indications on that particular part of the process. i might order 'flavorless' 50/50 36mg, but i might have problems getting it shipped here in the quantity that i would actually find useful.

pps i have read and understand all the posts about how to test your nic levels, and know that will be number #1 priority. i dont understand how you get to the base mix of 36/18/12/whatevermg 50/50 juice

side note: im trying to learn diy because alot of us are having problems getting pre-made juice sent here. 6 out of 17 people are out of juice, and the rest of us are hiding our stash before we run out. a few of us are willing to try, but im not goin to buy or start anything until i know more.

When you use one of the mixing calculators you enter what strength your nic base is then what you want your finished juice to be and it calculates how much you need to add.

Download a calculator(there is a link to ejuicemeup just a few post up) and play with it a bit, you'll have it figured out in no time.

Ty for this compilation. I use Lorann and TFA for my mixing. As my taste buds are quite off (I mix @ 20%). Using Lorann, these same mixes are near overpowering with flavor to my guinea pigs lol I suggest starting @ 10% for LA and adjust from there. Been mixing this way for several months

I'm new to DIY eliquids. I haven't begun to purchase or anything just thinking and window shopping and doing research before I do. Do the DIY liquids taste as good as most vendors. I love desert vapes and sick of paying so much when it's almost a crap shoot on what bottle of ejuice is good or not ugh

There is one I know of for iphone, and also android devices called Liquix.

I never have used them, but I do like how it can measure by weight, if they work. I am starting to like going by grams, would like an e juice calculator that helped with that one.

Tip for simplistic DIYers like me who use vendor concentrates; if you're using the full bottle of concentrate, keep adding the PG and VG to the bottle and then pouring to your mixing glass. Don't lose any of that flavoury goodness, lose the stupid PG/VG

Ok. It took me 5 days but I never came across my particular subject or with the sheer volume of information I may have missed it. I have been mixing my own e-juice since August 2013. I have been working with LorAnn's butter rum recently and am having a problem. It has a strong alcohol smell to it and I can't seen to get the alcohol out of the finished e-juice. I mixed it at 1% in 10ml. The flavor smells awesome, however you can smell a very strong alcohol smell. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it or does anyone have a favorite brand that carries a good butter rum flavor? I have never come across this problem in a little over a year of mixing. I see all these recipes with LorAnn's flavorings but I am unwilling to invest in any more with the the issues I have been having with this flavor and also because of fact that it is on the "maybe shouldn't vape" list. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks krukentip. (I have tried to vape this flavor and the alcohol flavor doesn't dissipate with vaping. It is horrible! Aging has not helped to reduce the alcohol horror. Lol.)

... I have been working with LorAnn's butter rum recently and am having a problem. It has a strong alcohol smell to it and I can't seen to get the alcohol out of the finished e-juice....

Um, the flavoring doesn't have ethanol in it. So the alcohol you're tasting is probably the rum flavorin component and I cannot see how to remove the rum from butter rum. Maybe look up some hot buttered rum recipes and go to creating your own butter rum without rum with individual flavorings?

 

[chriszx2]

Couldn't you add more VG or PG and then add extra butter flavor?

 

[sparkky1]

You can try taking the cap and tip off overnight and a couple more times for 2 hours during the week, that flavor takes at least 10 - 15 days to come around, basically you have butter, sweetner, vanilla, rum or you might need to try maybe a TFA butter rum might be easier to work with,

 

[krukentip]

Thanks Hoosier, sparkky1, and chriszx2. I've tried airing as suggested but to no avail. It does list alcohol in the ingredients. I think I will chalk it up to an inexpensive experiment that just didn't work out. Lol. Time to search for another butterrum lifesaver flavor. I'll keep those suggestions in mind in case I run across this problem again.

Hi,
There is sure a lot of information to digest on this ecf forum and here in DIY forum. Don't know if this is the right forum for this question tho'?
I have purchased some PG/VG (usp) liquid, I have some 48mg VG Nicotine liquid and a 10ML bottle of peach 0 nic flavor. When mixing the juices flavoring aspect
is the Peach 0 nicotine what it the flavor or do I have to get a Peach flavor concentrate?

Jim, it sounds like you bought a flavor base meaning the VG/PG is already mixed in with no nic in which you could add nic but will change the flavoring do to your VG that's with the nic.
You should be looking at flavor concentrates, you will need droppers or syringes to measure with and download e juice me up calculator.

Can't thank everyone enough for this info. Thanks TS for starting this and everyone else for contributing. My head is spinning and I haven't been drinking lol

 

[Charley Crystal]

Can I buy premixed unflavored e-liquid (VG + my strength nic) and add my own flavor? I am really trying to avoid any alcohol in my e-liquid and I feel like a jerk asking my e-liquid guy which ones are alcohol free or if he uses LorAnn's. I can see where he would find that rude. And does anyone know if LorAnn is the industry standard for over the counter liquids?
