Hi everyone

[Stumpweasel]

hi everyone. After smoking for 30 year (started young ) and puffing upwards of 25 a day ive switched to vaping. Saving for a holiday plus working on a farm i was noticing my lungs werent upto chasing stray cows like they once were! Have just bought a DIY mixing kit so looking forward to experimenting and begging for help from you experienced vapers

Hello and welcome to the forum @Stumpweasel. Glad to have you here!

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. Lots of great info in all the "stickies". 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 is a great video: How to Use an eJuice Calculator and Mix with a Scale

Here are some threads you may like to read through for different flavoring companies. Many of the posts include recipes and comments about a specific flavor.

Hi and welcome to ECF, @Stumpweasel ! Congrats on giving up the cigarettes. Susan-S has given you fabulous info to absorb. DIY is a big jump when just beginning vaping. Hardware is one whole issue of it's own, plus mixing? VERY ambitious but you can do it! Lots of great help around here to assist you too. We're very happy you found your way here!

Thanks Ive been using the pen type for over a week with ready made juices but was figuring by going DIY it would give me something to get into instead of thinking what id given up. Ill use that links thankyou.
