How to Tell You've Been Mixing a Long Time?

[Hoosier]

What are the signs that you've been mixing your own juice for a long time?




I'll start:

You are conflicted at the mixing table. Do you mix up a bunch of recipes you know you love, or do you mix up a bunch of experiments and just a couple recipes you know you love?

I can remember when I would have never thought about putting away my supplies and cleaning up without some experiments being mixed during the session, but my last session I didn't even get out anything to experiment with.

Lol...

I'm doing a little of both... i'll experiment then, let those experiments sit while making something I love to vape. THEN, when i'm bored i'll play with the experiments and mix those to see what happens. Sometimes, it's absolute NASTY, sometimes... it's a glorious cocktail. (albeit sometimes really strange) Live and learn my friend... live and learn.

Other than the Nicotine, i'll just slap some PG and VG with an eyeball amount of flavor... (yeah, i'm brave like that) Hahahahaha...!!!

You go to three different vendor sites, scroll through all the flavors of Capella, TFA and FA and can't find any flavors that sound interesting that you don't have already, or tried and rejected...

Not following the advice I dispense and throwing caution to the wind (Mad scientist syndrom)

 

[Danoman]

*Wasting a LOT of product for the certain flavor failure...* (which, I do still seem to do quite often...) LOL

How about being confused about confusion of what a dripping atty is?


(Maybe that's just from vaping so long and remembering when every kit came with an atty and just pulling the cart off made it a dripping atty...)

 

[Stosh]

Not using a calculator, because you have the ratios memorized for the nic level you vape

A dripping atty is a cheap atty that leaks. I hate those things

When you have an ever present bowl of plastic bottles and dropper tips soaking in soapy water, or; When you haven't bought a bottle of vendor made liquid in years.

When you know how to get REALLY close on a measurement of 8.6666666ml of ingredient out of a 20 ml syringe with 5 ml gradients.

 

[Dave_in_OK]

Looking at a new recipe make changes in percentages / ingredients mix and have it taste spot on without thinking about it.

 

[FinallyQuit]

Looking at the ingredients in a recipe and knowing there's no way you're going to like it! And, figuring out how to modify said recipe without even sitting down to mix. . .

 

[dannyv45]

When you like a recipe that everyone else hates because your taste buds died ages ago from all the experimentation you did.

Hahahahaha...!!! Yep, that's about it... lol

 

[DasBluCig]

When you start measuring out ingredients for the cake your wife is making in the kitchen.....
And converting T. and t. in the recipe.....to ml!!!
Then....tell her you'll clean up when she's done (.....'cuz YOUR "measuring devices" are already soaking in the sink!!!)

 

[MarkyD]

When you can do ejuice me up calculations (and make them work out to even-numbered measurements) in your head.

Done this, oh 6mg nic is like some odd .6666ml but 12mg is even on the ml. LOL

 

[Hoosier]

You read a new mixer's question and it seems so simple of an answer that you have no idea if you can answer it without sounding like a real d***head...

 

[Danoman]

One that has boxes of flavors and orders more... (even though he KNOWS he'll prolly never use them...) *just because...* lol

 

[gingersnaps]

Overstuff your extra large tackle box/ mixing station so much it finally breaks but now you need to buy 2 like it to replace it. Just happened to me.
