How many make their own juice??

[scottevil]

I've been making my own juice thanks to xtremevaping.com, onestopdiyshop.com, and perfumersapprentice.com since i got my GGTS+AVS... and a lot of people i know have been buying it off me as well.

So I was just wondering how many people here with a GG product produce their own juice? What percentage of VG they use ( i use 10% for AVS ) and what is their favorite flavor (mine being double chocolate)

 

[Tyke]

Me ~75% VG, 10% water, 15% flavourings.
Decadent Vapours and Flavourart flavourings.

Fruit and sweet flavours are what I go for, currently using a fair bit of apple pie.

I've been DIY'in for most of my vaping career.

XtremeVaping.com for nic juice, pg and vg.
Happyvaper.com for all my flavorings.
Bottles, syringes, etc..from whereever I can find them.

I haven't bought juice in 2 months, I make everything 80/20 but have done 50/50 for a special friend. I think my s@#$ is superior to any vendors I have had (I do like Ms T's, some others' aren't too watery..), just my opinion. I am known as a dessert/sweets vape mixer.

Flavors -- TPA, Capellas, Flavourart
Nic -- MFS, Blue Mist, Xtreme
Siupplies -- OSDIY, DIYFlavorshack, and Ebay!

I mix mine too. I don't know percentages. I just pour everything in my bottle and it comes out right. I also cook without a recipe. I like coffee and nut flavors better than fruity stuff. Toffee is good.

that's what i thought, i figured anyone that used the GG was going to mixing their own juice.. i mean, afterall.. being in full control and maximizing our vaping experience is what it's all about, right?

 

[scottevil]

Me ~75% VG, 10% water, 15% flavourings.
Decadent Vapours and Flavourart flavourings.

are you using this mix with the AVS? i mean, i highly doubt it, it seems it would be too thick to properly go through the atty hole

 

[Tyke]

VG at <80% isn't any thicker than commercial pre made liquids I've got.

Oh and really well done on using THEIR not the lazy poster there, it's becoming increasingly rare that native English speakers use the right word when they mean their (of them) or they're (they are).
The words sound similar to there, but have a totally different meaning so aren't interchangable.

 

[scottevil]

lol, thanks.. i mean english is my first language i SHOULD know the difference and when to use certain words

I HAD to learn to DIY as I'm one of those unlucky few who can't vape PG...

Very few vendors actually know how to make great, or even so-so, 100% VG. I was spending so much money trying to find something that I could actually vape that did NOT taste like I'd be better off trying to vape Olive Oil (which I do like and is the ONLY oil that I cook with) that I almost FELL, and started smoking again. When I think of all of the GG's I could have bought with all of that, it really makes me even sicker...

Just when it all seemed like an impossibility, I found 1 new vendor and it saved me!!! Their 100% VG was GREAT!!! For a few months that is... Then they closed shop and ripped me off on my last $80.00order! My Discover Card got my money back for me (the ONLY good thing about Credit Cards).
The next vendor that I tried on my first order actually caused my brand new, Joye attys to come apart in pieces!!! At first I thought it was just that flavor, but no after five more flavors and five more attys, WRONG!!! I now know the entire internal workings of an atty not that I really wanted to, at that time anyway... I had spent well over $100.00 on that e-juice, not counting my attys and my PINK ones at that, too! That vendor replaced my Joyes with some nasty tasting attys and sent me more e-juice mixed with a bunch of Everclear that his "Professional Mixologist" came up with. Good thing it made me sick, as one of my Mod Making/Vending friends told me that it was dangerous also in that it could have caused an explosion!!!

Bound and determined to keep my promise to my Father, who had recently passed away, that I would quit smoking I decided to give DIY a try... I mean after all I had tried, it wouldn't be any real effort on my part to do any worse, and NEVER wanted to have to rely upon anyone else nor end up in any of those situations again!!! My first attempt was GREAT and I've been a Happy Vaper every since... So what my nightmare/story all boils down to is that very old, but true saying, "Necessity is the Mother of Invention".

BTW mine works great with the AVS and AFSV2!!! I use 100% VG, with a LOT of flavoring...

 

[scottevil]

damn, that's an intense story. I mostly do it because i hate everyones flavors, like they do not test it or anything they just whip up some crap and ship it out. icky.

 

[Tyke]

I'm a bit allergic to PG, but like you I prefer the flavours and flavour combinations I can make to any commercial e-liquids.

 

[VPDownunder]

I make 99% of my own juice at about 90%VG 10%PG using Perfumers apprentice and Capella flavorings with xtremevaping nic.

 

[scottevil]

i'm pretty sure that xtremevaping has the best prices on nic that i've found.. everyone seems to get it from them.

 

[Tyke]

Well you yanks might, but it's appreciably more difficult to buy from them as a Brit.
Shipping trans Atlantic isn't cheap and import duties and VAT (if Customs notice the shipment) make it expensive. Incidentally concentrations over 75mg/ml (7.5%) are illegal here as controlled poisons.

I buy my 52mg base liquid from Liberty Flights.

 

[VPDownunder]

Yeah shipping to Aus isn't cheap but I bought 1 Litre of 50mg to offset it. Thank god we don't have VAT to worry about when it goes through customs though.

 

[scottevil]

Well you yanks might,.

lol, nice terminology

 

[lordbyron77]

I order large quantities of ready liquid, but I'm always ready to experiment with new flavors of FLAVOURART
