Hi hi, my first successful DIY e-juice ! Just so excited !

[tieuphieu]

The first one was fail, can not vape it, it is so harsh. This is my second DIY e-juice. Its taste is good, produces very huge vapor , but it is a little washy, feel like it need some sugar. Can I add some suger into it ?

I''m now very excited, because in my country, it take me a lot of time to find out all the recipe !

No sugar. If you can, find some artificial sweetener like Sucralose or Stevia. Use a VERY small amount, start with 1 drop per 15 ml.

Thank you for all, guys, especially Susan~S, you help me a lot !

Because of very limited supplies (especially chemical like food flavour, PG, VG - they ussually are the fake things that come from China, and very poison. And of couse, no nicotine liquid at all, it is impossible to find it in my country), I have to find my own way to DIY e-liquid. And after several nights os thinking, this is really my journal.

1. PG and VG: I have found out one Vietnam chemical company sell it, but they do not retail, they sell for every 10 liters once. After 30 minutes of convincing, they agree to sell for me a bottle of 500ml VG and another is PG. (cheap)

2. Nicotine liquid: I bought some Liqua liquid at 24mg nicotine (70/30 PG/VG) (it's quite expensive) with bright tobacco flavour, and I will calculate to reduce it later. Bright tobacco flavour is light, so it do not affect my mix much.

3. Flavour: Some of Vietnam company sell it, they can be trusted, but they do not retail. They just sell for every 1kg each flavour, and I can not convince them . I can not buy 1kg of one flavour and use it to the rest of my life, right? . There is my solution: I bought 10ml of grapefruit oil (this oil use for making lipstick). Mixing things together, and here my 30ml "first successful" DIY e-juice : (wao a lot of vapor )

• 40/60 (PG/VG)
• 6mg of nicotine
• 5% of grapefruit oil

@Susan~S: by the way, I have already purchased a lot of things including e-juice from Electronic Cigarette, E-Cigarette, E-Liquid | Heaven Gifts . They are on their way to my hand. Feel so excited. Hope they pass through Vietnam customs !

5% of grapefruit oil

Oil-based flavorings are dangerous for vaping. You might see if some small batch oil-free flavor concentrates are available for baking and home candy-making...

Make sure your PG & VG are pure enough for inhaling: Purity of PG, VG and PEG - The Short Version

If not, check your local pharmacy. They may carry VG (labeled glycerine).
PG can often be found at places selling animal feed (cows, horses, pigs, goats, etc.)

Wonderful!

Did you order some good 20A batteries as well?

Thank you so much ! However, I do not think that our local pharmacy and animal feed store have PG or VG. The chemical company that I bought PG and VG, they use them to make lipsticks, body lotion, etc, ... I think if they can make lipstick, so I can vape. Am I right ? Besides, this VG/PG is GMO free and has GMP certificate, is that ok to vape?

By the way, I also purchased 2 LGHE 4 batteries, a lot of e-juice. Now they are at Vietnam customs, hope they can pass easily. The heavengifts.com and DHL express done a very good job that I can not believe. I purchased about 4pm at Thursday, 2 day later (today), my things are in Ho Chi Minh city. It is very fast. I can''t wait for any more, so excited now !!!!!!
