How do you mix your DIY e-juice?

[jotter]

Shake vigorously by hand for 2 minutes right after mixing, the next day do the same, shake for 2 minutes. Then I give it a week for the flavors to develop. And as always shake before use.

Thats what I do and it seems to be working just fine

80/20 pg/vg, never had a problem in 3 years of making my own juice, bung it in a bottle, give it a quick shake until i see no marble type swirl from unmixed ingredients.
With my everyday juice i normally mix 1/4 or 1/2 L at a time, i store mine in the fridge to keep it fresh, i once read about how nic can oxidize, not that it lasts long enough for that to happen.

I've been making my own juice for so long, I eyeball stuff now. You'll get to the point where you'll be able to do that also. As with anything, it just takes practice to get better at it. Stick with simple mixes at first like one or two flavorings to begin with. I wouldnt start out trying to make a serial killa clone for your first batch. lol. Juice me up calculator definitely helps but its just math and knowing your extracts. Most berrys and fruits are about 10%mixes. most tobacco's and menthols are usually much less, more like around 2-5%. So if you making a 10ml bottle of strawberry e liquid, you'll want to put about 1ml of extract in. fill it the restof the wayup with your premixed pg/vg nic no flavoring base, shake and vape. Start outwith small batches to begin with because everyone tastes are different. You'll do fine, welcome to ECF and the world of DIY'ing your own juice!

Don't quite agree with the "eyeball" methodology. I use 100mg/ml base and a little off can mean quite a bit of difference. I guess if you're using low nic pre-mixed base there's more of a safety margin but folks should never take for granted that nicotine is toxic.

Papillion61, Just add the flavoring. Then swirl to blend in the base. No need to shake and beat the compounds to oblivion.
