Hi I'm Wes, nice to meet you folks. Here to help if I can but mostly to RECEIVE help with my NEWB flavor mixing skills. I am an ex-smoker for over 2 years now (Apr 2014-Present) & also blessed to be great cook & have a seasoned & informed palate. (When I cook a meal for guests they're always blown away & I'm just like this is so elementary people c'mon!!) I hope this will translate into a great concentrated flavor mixer someday... so here's my intro into DIY. I got addicted to {$20+!!! wtf???} 30ml "premium" ejuice lines & was going way out of control with my ejuice budget (just ask my wife). I was basically spending $100+ per month on delicious branded (mostly cereal) eliquids. I tried saving money by going to MBV & getting their admiral berry crunch cereal flavor as a standalone (super cheap but epic fail, Cap'n Crunch apparently[tasted like apple jacks to me] vapeable but not great; I'm a cheapskate so I got it in bulk & just dealt with it for the longest time.) ...at this point I had no clue flavor mixing depended on layering flavor nuances & delicate intricacies, brand's differentiations in flavors & strengths etc etc etc etc etc etc.........dot. dot. dot........... so so many ......n variables to this shiznit. So I did a little research figured out maybe what I oughtta be doing. Got a ....load of cereal type flavors & mixed them altogether then got some popular desert flavors & threw them in. SO YUMMY! Why fix what ain't broke right? But I'm just getting so bored with this flavor now & need to expand my horizons. I love you guys for sharing all your info & when I become a master of flavorings I will do the same for the oncoming newbs. I'm about to go all in on about $300 worth of a wide variety of flavorings just to test the waters in true creative DIY endeavor & I'm here to help anyone who's behind me on their DIY journey & look for advice from all those ahead of us newbs willing to glance back & give us a hand
Hope we can come up with some recipes that will MURDER all these ridiculously overpriced "premium" ejuice lines out here that are basically just waiting for us to hack their recipes to avoid being raped in our wallets. Sounds like American buisness structure to me. Let us crumble the frail walls of reality my friends & build up the walls of community & conversation, community, trust, knowledge, etc...
