Hey

[jonesinj]

Whats up guys, im jones and this is my first post here

Im wondering, is there a section here dedicated to DIY juice making?

Im intetested in getting started, but I am NOT interestrd in wasting a bunch of product "experimenting" with making my own personal flavors

Id like to see tried and true flavors. ... with info about what vendors to use for pg/vg/nic/flavors

Ive received some help with most of that besides flavors, but woupd like to get other opinions because there are so many options out there and I dont kmow what to choose!

Thanks guys and I look forward to participating on this forum

Also is cussing allowed here? I cuss a lot normally and am wondering if I need to watch it on this forum

Welcome to ECF. yes there is a dedicated section. Once you get your post count over 5 you will be able to snoop around and post in there. Cursing etc is automatically censored by the site software

Good morning jonesinj and welcome


Cursing is highly discouraged on ECF and yes, there is a DIY forum here
DIY E-Liquid

 

[jonesinj]

Cool thanks man, and ill try to cool off on my language then, glad I asked.

 

[jonesinj]

How come I cant seem to post anywhere in the DIY subsection? Im using tapatalk

Also what is stevia? I see on capellas site they offer flavors with or without it

I used the search function but cant seem to find an explanation (admittedly I only briefly browsed)

You only just now have 5 posts in and you'll need to wait about 25 minutes to an hour for the forum to refresh then you can go

Stevia is an artifical sweetener.

P.S. Did you read the rules for New Member's?

 

[jonesinj]

Ahh ok gotcha thanks

Do you and other DIY'ers normally use the ones with stevia? If its not included in the flavor is it often added seperately?

 

[Towmotor]

I buy liquid stevia from my grocery store and add it to some of my mixes but not all of them require it...for my taste anyway.

Um, some people use stevia ... I don't, nor do I DIY much.
Lot of people use cotton candy juice if they want to sweeten it up some. Or something called EM (I really don't know what that is)

 

[jonesinj]

Ok interesting thanks for the quick replies guys

I know what vendor you get flacors from makes a hugr difference... in terms of nic/pg/vg though... as long as u get it from a reputable vendor that sells quality stuff im assuming its all basically the same, right?

You'll get quite a few different answers to that question in the DIY section

Good luck

Haha yea ive been browsing around

I think ill go with wizard labs for my nicotine. ... I see alot of ppl use 50/100mg nicotine... I know 100mg can be a lot more dangerous to work with

Do you think 36mg nicotine would be a much safer place for me to start? Or would you say its important to use something more concentrated?

Well, I don't know what level you vape at so it's hard to say
I vape 6mg so get the lowest I can and cut it; but to answer your question, yes ... 36mg would be perfectly safe

If you are new to DIY I certainly would not start with 100mg.

I buy my nic from Vapers Tek at 100 mg and mix it down as soon as I get it so I only have to handle the dangerous concentration once.

 

[jonesinj]

Yea I vape at 12mg... looking to go down to 10 though for my first DIY batch. Ultimately id like to get down to 3-6

Is there really any benefit to doing it like that opposed to just getting something already further dilluted though? Is it beneficial in that you can make more of a choosing the ratios in which its cut with pg/vg? Thats my guess

 

[joesquid]

I'd recommend going to the DIY section and reading all the stickys. Then look up hoosier and dannyv45's blogs and read them. That will save you alot of time and money.

It saves money. You could buy 36mg and cut it as well. If you use 100mg be very careful. Use gloves and a well ventilated area. On second thought, probably best to just begin with a lower concentration to start with.
