Hello From Newcastle

Thought I would say a big hello. Having been off the cigarettes for over 3 years, love vaping, and now really want to have a go at DIY juice

Well done for getting off the tabs.

Welcome to ECF!
I dropped by to say I was being a dumb American tourist in Newcastle not all that long ago. My father went to uni there. I'm honestly surprised to hear vaping pick up there, as when I was there last year, there was no one vaping. Well, then again, the area's got a nice river breeze, wouldn't be able to see any big clouds wafting from the nearest coffee place...

As for DIY juice, experimentation gets you to perfection. PG/VG ratios, the PG/VG base to flavour concentrate ratio which changes per flavour, nicotine strengths, etc. Everything can be perfected through experimentation. I made 2 batches of DIY mango-banana-strawberry-kiwi, with all the same ratios. Somehow, one ended up great, and the other came out horrible and nasty. I'm a noob at diy juices too.

Cheers!

Welcome aboard! DIY is easy if you are sensible and go slow! Learning complicated recipes on the other hand takes the patience of a chef.

Hello and welcome to ECF! Congrats on being off the nasty nails for 3 years and good luck with the DIY. I want to get into making my own also, but i would need someone to give me recipes that actually tells me how many "drops" of each ingredient i would need, say for a 15ml bottle. I've tried the calculators and i'm so not good at math, plus it just all confuses me lol

However, i'm sure you'll enjoy DIY and also saving the $$'s from buying pre-made juice. Oh i was going to ask about the New Castle in your title....i was raised in New Castle, Indiana...so was just curious?

Again, welcome to ECF and enjoy the DIY!
