How I make my eLiquid - Cheapest Way

OK, so I figured I'd share my recipe with ya's...
first off, I am cheap I try and do things to save $ (who doesn't right)
and second, for a first time mix I only do 5ml, and then make more when it's perfected
and third I usually only vape menthol, so use at your own rish for other flavors
My ingredients:
-500ml of flavorless pg 36mg from totally wicked eliquid (i wait til christmas time to buy cause I get it 50% off) I store it in the fridge in empty vodka bottles
-250ml of pg stored same way from totally wicked (TW) (also use VG and peg400)
-pga (pure grain alcohol) usually everclear
-concentrated flavor drops (ice from patriot range from TW, nport from tw, menthol from decadent vapor range from tw, old port black label from TW)
-pure menthol crystals (they go along way) and koolada cooling (ice feeling) from ecig express
-and food coloring
So i usually vape at 18mg or so... but I also make a small batch of 11mg for the morning and 30mg for before bed or if I'm drinking
I use green coloring for 11, blue for 18, and red for 30... one drop for 30ml...
I only store in glass bottles... plastic is bad for you, and there is alot of talk ablout plastic leaching (eventually anyway)
If you like above 30mg strength you'll have to use a higher base, like 54mg platinum ice... (more $$$)
my last ingridient is 36mg menthol eliquid... when I find one I like alot, like tw's titan menthol, or dragonfly's menthol, I buy bulk... Just bought 10 x 20ml of 36mg titan menthol from tw (christmas time - yoyo) for 48% off...
so since I like the titan alot, and if i used strictly that it would cost a fortune, so I dilute it and mix it in and it still tastes just like it!!!
here's my recipe for 18mg ( i use cloud 9 vaping eliquid calculator):
~base is 36mg
~strength required is 20mg
~% flavor is 12%
~number of drops per 1ml is 20
~% of extra diluent is 3%
~final quantitly is 10ml
here's what it says:
-base nicotine 111 drops
-pg 59 drops
-flavoring 24 drops
-extra diluent 6 drops
So I will use about 85 drops of flavorless and 26 drops of titan menthol / and i will use about 8 drops vg, 8 drops peg400, and the rest pg / i use ice flavoring 8 drops, nport 8 drops, and dv menthol 8 drops / everclear makes up the diluent... And a pinch of menthol crystal and cooling (don't use alot, or you don't have to use it at all!)
there ya go and good luck, hope you found this useful!
basically I vape the whole year for under $200 (still need atomizers/etc...) But I spent that in a month smoking coffin nails!
Good luck and vape on!

You really like TW huh .I didnt really like their flavoring line and found their base to be pretty expensive .Glad it works for you .If cost is what your looking for you can find better prices. 500mls or 36mg nic at GP is like 16.00 . Going with a higher mg will be more cost effective as well .

Tpa' site has super cheap prices on flavoring and capellas is having a 6 for the price of 5 sale
How is the base from Good Prophets? I usually buy 60 or 100 mg but my two vendors are out right now.
GP's is not clear . The Vg nic is pinkish and the PG nic has a little amber tint however it doesnt have a peppery taste or anything so imo its pretty good . I like 60mg better but at that price ill take the 36mg without hesitating . I bought 240ml of PG and 240ml of vg nic bases .
The GP 36mg VG is slightly pink, but the flavor of mine was very clean, no black pepper or solvent flavors. The VG does better in my experience sitting at least a day after mixing with flavoring, seems to have a stronger flavor presence.
