How often do you mix And how long does it last you? I use about 4 30ml bottles a month. I'm thinking about mixing enough to last me 3 months at a time. Is that reasonable?
How often do you mix?

I make 2000 mls a month. 2 different recipes and I give most of it away....takes about 30 minutes (including getting everything out and cleaning it.)
Very reasonable to mix up 120 ml's of one of your favs. I do it all the time. I keep out a 30 ml bottle to use to fill my tanks after steeping , I put the rest in the fridge. Never had any problems doing that. Can't really say how much I vape in a day because I have 10-12 setups going for the variety, so when I empty the last of a 120 ml bottle into my 30 ml bottle I make more. Mix every couple of months maybe if that. 10-15 mins to setup, mix and clean up. If I am making 3 or more 120 ml bottle, the time increases to half hour to a hour or a little more because I stop to clean everything between mixes.

I mix up 60ML bottles at the most because my tastes are fickle and what I like this week could change the next. The last round of mixing I made 240 Ml's of 4 different tobaccos because that was all I needed at the moment. I would never mix more than 120 Mls because I need my variety.
I make mine in 240ml batches all one flavor. I freeze rather then refrigerate half and fill about 4-30ml bottles that I leave in my vape box. When I have run out of that I go ahead and fill again. Then I make another batch. so I always have back-ups. The 120ml lasts about a month. Just remember- store it in a cool and dark place.
I am new enough to DIY that I have not settled into a pattern yet.
What I have noticed is I mix at 25/75 PG/VG ratio and no matter the tank used, I seem to go through my mixes faster then the store bought I still use in my rotation. Good news is, some of my mixes must be turning out to be pretty good. A couple have found their way into my daily rotation, so will start doing bigger batches on future mixes (Thanks @Sugar_and_Spice for the PB Fluffy and whomever steered me to the Lucky Shot/Lotta Latte mix).

I mix 100 ml each of 2 of my favorite flavors around once a month. I don't refrigerate or anything (I mean why??). I put the finished product/juice in 2 glaas bottles and take them with me during the day. It takes me about 20 minutes including cleaning to make both juices. I'm OK with alternating between just 2 flavors. Some people like having more variety. It costs me around 8 dollars for a months worth of juice. Smartest decision ive ever made =DIY.
My flavors are simple. Mostly osdiys blends or stand alones.... blue raz slushie, strawberries and cream, or 10% lucky shot and 10% Lotta latte mix. When I want to get crazy I make a cuttwood unicorn milk clone... that takes around 5 minutes longer to make.
It's really easy and painless!

I just started making ejuice. I bought my first order from NicoRiver yesterday! I can't wait to try mixing.
I vape 10ml a day (300ml/month). I do six 50ml bottles of flavors and two 100ml bottles of unflavored about once a month. The unflavored gets used to sample new flavors and make juices that weren't in my last DIY batch that I ran out of, and dilute those that were too strongly mixed. I'll vape unflavored by itself frequently just to reset my palate.
When I vaped only vendor juices I ordered 200ml about every three weeks. The cost was about $45. I'm saving lots of cash by doing DIY and getting juices that are better, IMO. There's no perfume taste or "what the heck's in this juice" moments anymore.
I threw away about a dozen old vendor juices yesterday when I cleaned out some old stuff that had been taking up space in a closet.

That would be me, back in our posts in this thread in November
Scots Intro
Yep, was me. Thanks for the shout out!
I envisioned I would be at my lab table for an hour or so making this stuff. Maybe at first I will.
How often do you mix And how long does it last you? ---every 3 to 4 months, small test batches.
Qty/size --- avg. 40 ea 5 ml test mixes. Have 5-6 super ADV mixes of which I try to keep avg. of 100 ml on hand. If I find one of the test mixes a candidate for super ADV, I will repeat/try to perfect --on going.
Yes it was! Thanks for reminding me and my apologies for not remembering!
I really am liking my "Lucky Latte" and it has taken the place of one of my favorite store juices the was part of my daily rotation.
I'll chime in again. My mix is 200 ml and lasts 30-40 days. 20 minutes is a reasonable estimate of time. According to my mixing calculator the cost of ingredients for 200 ml is $2.18. That's 49% pg, 49% vg, 1% nicotine (10mg) and 1% flavoring. A month of smoking cost $250.

I'm glad you like it, too! Might also save you some $$ on store bought.
Also, no apology needed at all. I have trouble sometimes remembering an in-person conversation I've had with someone last week...let alone one online from last November.
For all you osdiys fans. ..
you can mix
10% baked cinnamon roll
And 10% lucky shot
For a kick a $$ juice.
For anyone who doesn't like coffee.
Cheers.
