....WTH is wrong with me???

As in the case with many of life's dilemmas, the answer to your malady can be found in the movie...Caddyshack.

In your case I suggest you...

"Be the Juice" (ball)

see:

Proper chanting (as seen @ 1:52) can be especially helpful during new recipe formulation.

LOL!! I am Danny....there's the big pond with all my DIY mix in it....be the ball!! I over think absolutely EVERYTHING!

CVS didn't have the VG...Off to Walmart I guess - but mine is seriously 40 minutes away - who except me lives THAT far from a freaking WalMart??? Okay - I am just going to do it...that's it! I am NOT going to wait until I run out of juice - the way I shop, I never will....:laugh:

OKAY!!! I did it!! 24mg 10%menthol - I used 5ml of VG 48 nic juice, and 4ml PG - 20 drops of menthol - I am letting it steep 24 hours...someone tell me if I will die before I vape this tomorrow....

Great job - just a heads up on the drops per ml. The calculator defaults to 20 drops per ml but everything we use in DIY will vary greatly. I've seen drops per range from 16 up to 53 per ml. The thicker the liquid the bigger the drops and the lower number of drops per ml. I'm sure your mix will be just fine but thought you should be aware.

I was totally wondering how the program knew what size the drops are - mine seemed a bit small but that way I just add more :D

Why are you steeping it before trying it?

Too much juice you have to consume before you're allowed to get to your own?

LOL, I just have a TON that I bought - I kind of went insane and ordered a BUNCH with every coupon I saw for two weeks - luckily, I work at the post office - so no one sees my pkgs of craziness!!

I agree with Hoosier - make it and vape it !

Okay!! I am going for it as soon as I need to refill - some threads said to let it steep for a while - LOL!!!

Some threads say steeping is an open bottle, but they are still wrong despite how often it is repeated.

And how can you ever know if steeping does anything or if it is needed if you don't try it first?

You see if an engine starts before rebuilding it....why wait to drive that new used car if the engine works just fine as soon as you get the keys?

More great info here, sorry for jumping in, but after reading this I've got to pick up some VG & PG it seems. I've got a few small bottles, got some flavorings from KJ to try & a atty on the way to test them with. :D Oh yeah, I'm going to be doing no nic & 50/50 mixes since that's my preference. :p
Thanks for the info all, now back to your regular question asker, Xena22 LOL

Some of the mix calculators have too many bells and whistles for me. This simple calculator makes it easier for me to follow what I'm doing.

eJuice Recipe Calculator
Thank You so much for that calculator I look at the eJuice Me Up and just close it again lol:unsure::)

LMBO!!! You really wanna know?? Years ago, I was at karaoke with a group of friends.....we had this kind of weird guy stalking us all night, he would just hover over the table and wouldn't leave...so I threatened to smash a bottle over his head, and he left...LOL!! Between that and my loud voice, choice of songs to sing and the fact that I am really short (and probably went all of 100lbs at that point)....they gave me the nickname Xena. I have never even seen the show....but the name stuck and has been my "stage name" ever since :D
