Hello from Adelaide SA

[A1an]

Hi people,
My name is Alan and I have just joined up.
Bought a joyetech 20W from Vaper City Unley road opposite Cremorne Hotel.
Going well now for four weeks and not bought any cigs yet.
Looking into making my own juice and learning more about all this.
Peace.

Hello and welcome to the forum @A1an. Glad to have you here!
And @steam heat you too may also be interested in some of these links.

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum.

There's a bit more to DIY than adding flavoring and steeping. There are many additives and flavor combinations that will enhance a mix. Things like creams, custards, caramels, marshmallow and graham cracker are very common components in a lot of recipes. These are good to have on hand, especially when you start to get confident and want more complexity in your flavors.

A little research goes a long way in perfecting a mix. Below is the information I often give to members new to DIY.

• Dannyv45's blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice. => dannyv45 - Blogs
• Hoosier's blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives. =>Hoosier - Blogs
• For a juice mixing calculator consider using eJuiceMeUp
• If you are interested in mixing by weight (vs volume) here are a couple of great videos
  1. How to Use an eJuice Calculator and Mix with a Scale
  2. Mixing by Weight (a DIY Tutorial)
