How do you use your juices? Straight or mixed?

I'm just curious how other use they're juices? I personally vape my Boba's in my grande straight up at 4.8v with a HH357 @ 2.5ohm but My Minis on the other hand I usually run with a mixture of 50% BWB Malty and 50% Cinnabomb @ 6v with a 2.5 or 3.0ohm HH357 and lately I've found that when that I'm really liking a 25% Malty 25% Cinna and 50% GJ delicious:vapor: now this is when its time for a banana dance:banana::banana::banana:

I make most of my juice myself and for some reason I still make my Caramel and Menthol Juices separate and ALWAYS mix them in the bottle of my Grand. I may as well just make it CaramelMenthol to begin with, but I tell myself it's so I can vary the level of menthol in my mix, lol. I mix my juices all the time since I'm too lazy to clean atties before switching and it usually turns out pretty good! Just have to be careful with some of the more potent flavors like cinnamon, menthol, banana, coffee, etc. They seem to take forever to switch when you drip a new flavor on top of an old strong one. Just my :2c:!

We seem to vape the same juices. BB straight and sometimes mixed with Lava Juice. Straight Lava Juice is great but will eat thru O-rings which is why Dr. Rob had to fix my Nebula. Also I need to be sure not to get any on my hands. Did once and then rubbed my eyes....BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trying to do the same thing myself. Still experimenting, haven't nailed down any go to juices yet, but soon I hope. Good Luck.

Thanks man, wishing you luck as well. I've only mixed 3 15ml bottles (Cola, Hypnotic Mist, and Butterscotch) right now and waiting for them to steep. Have a feeling that the first one is going to be an utter failure. Since I used 30% of Butterscotch in it.

I'm hoping that it turns out ok though. If anything, I'll probably use it as a flavoring. The other ones are lower in flavor since I did a little bit of research and got some good advice. Going to be giving my stuff a try soon since two of them has steeped for about 2 weeks now.

What flavoring brands have you tried so far? Only bought flavors from FlavorArt, TPA, and Capella's at this point. Starting to grow a small collection.

I use TPA flavors and all have done well for me. To bypass the steeping part, I boil some water in a rummermaid container in the microwave, then let the bottled juice sit for 5 minutes or so in the container. Even my 120ml bottles work well with this. I've never had to steep since I started doing that. I also keep my juices in dark, glass containers which helps preserve them. Clear flavoring will help your cartos/attys last longer. Hope that helps you!

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I'll try that out with a small 5ml bottle that I have and see how that works out. Only thing that concerns me is how much the nic is going to be effected by the heat. Have heard of people doing this with their VG mixes before they add their nic. Anyways, yeah I use only dark glass bottles for my DIY juices too. Good to know that it helps preserve them. Saved all the glass bottles when I was still buying pre-mixed juices.

Well it started as the name for a super strong DIY cinnamon juice made for me by Deb. I go thru too much to keep asking her to make it for me all the time so now I get CinnaBomb @ 3X flavoring. :)

I also got hooked on and like 3X flavor, got mine from GV. Maybe this has to do with me being a carto guy, people complain about losing taste in carto I didn't but used 3X flavor. Now I'm DIY and to mix at 3X level I use higher percentages of flavor than most diy mixers.

I'm just curious as a DIY-er. What percentage would 3x flavor be? If it's normally 10% flavoring in the recipe, would that mean 3x would be 30% flavoring? Wouldn't that change the whole juice nic level and pg/vg percentage? Maybe it's like regular flavor is 10%, 2x flavor is 15%, 3x flavor is 20%. That wouldn't have as big an effect, but it wouldn't truly be 3x flavor either. I wonder what vendors really do when you ask for extra flavor. Anybody have an idea? In DIY, I just add more percentage , but then that would be the regular amount of flavor for my recipe and I would factor that in ahead of time to get the proper percentage and nic level. Liek I said, just wondering about this kind of stuff lately. Any ideas?

Use a juice calculator and it will factor in the percentage of nic you want with the flavoring factored in.
