Nic`d Up in Oklahoma!
And I do hope it does`nt catch on, less prices rise. :?)

Let me preface this by telling you all that I`m a DIY guy at heart. I do all the repair work on my cars, except for that which is dictated by BG (Smog check). I even cut my hair thanks to liking a crew cut and electric clippers. I fix watches for a living, the old vintage kind, so I`m good with me hands and like using them to make things.

So its a natural that DIY juice would be right up my alley. But the biggest issue for me was the unknown. I had no idea if it would taste good, I had no idea if I would be happy with it. There was this concern that it could be wasted money, and I simply cant afford to waste money in Oblamao`s stagnant economy.

But thank God for grace and faith. A little bit of Faith will bring dividends of Grace, and I`m really happy with the gunk I mixed up. Mostly tobacco flavors as that is what I`m trying to replace for right now. I do like the sweets more and more, but the complexity of tobacco still is my first love.

Right now Im vaping FA perique black at about 6%, with 30mg of nic. Yummy. And boy does it have a kick, LOL. Its got more kick than any store brand Iv ever tried. It is one of my new favs. But my best-ist fav right nowhas got to be flavor wests American blend, yum. It is like a strong white pepper with a white syrup finish, 25mg nic. (pretty much a corojo type taste!). Virtually all of my tobaccos are 80-20 mix, but on my cheesecake and black cherry I mixed it up 30-70 and 50-50 respectfully for more creamy vapor and sweetness.

And Im loving it. Absolutely loving it. I bet each 30ml of juice costs me less than 2-3 bucks a pop, and I can live with that. I can modify the flavors just a little and get something new or stronger. And best of all, I could care less what those other "kitschy" juice makers with the infantile names are doing, could Fng care less!! Even better than that I could care less what USPS is doing with my latest juice order, I got what I need. THAT is a thing of the past now!

And most of all, I love ECF (I might be nic`d up right now, ha, ha). I don`t say it enough. But I love ECF. My first e-cig forum was much to do about a train wreck going down hill. But I like the management (and "most" of the people) here at ECF. I bet two bits we could sit down for cards or football and have a good vape, and nary a wry lip or misunderstanding would occur. I bet we would laugh, and commence to solve the worlds problems, :?)

VAPE HAPPY!
Randy

Nice to meet you. I happen to just love ecf also. This is the first forum I have ever joined but the people here are wonderful. I thought I was bad at 24mg nic but 30mg might be even better. I am so happy you are pleased with what you are making. I know people DIY to save money (I'm one of the most frugal gals you will ever meet) but making your own is rewarding and I just prefer what I make over all that I bought. Continued success to you on your DIY and I look forward to reading more from you. Have fun.

It sounds like a high octane vape perique black at 6% with 30mg NIC but if it works for you and keeps you off cigarettes (Assuming you were a smoker) it's a huge success so congratulations are in order...... Well done.

I liked,,,,,,Nicaraguans, :?) Sometimes Hondurans cause they were cheaper. But the Dominicans, they can keep.

Its not that potent. Did get just a little woozy during the initial mixing, but got to taste them all you know, :?)

As James Brown would say, "I feel good!"

I drip and I tank. It depends on what I`m doing and what I want at the time. At the height of my love for tobacco, I would have 30-40 different brands of cigars at any time, I loved the variety. So,,,, with vaping its even better, much more variety, sky`s the limit really. And quality, it is a superior delivery system, so I`m hooked on it, so to say, LOL.
I like to say, you can switch seats on the Titanic, as long as you are getting into a life boat.

If your getting woozy your NIC strength is to high.

That feeling the first time you vape your own DIY juice and realize it's better than any juice you've bought - priceless.

Yes!! This strawberry and cream I made... OMG I thought ALL vaping would always be nearly without taste. NUH UH! This stuff is so great, I've got a Magma on the way to vape it with, because it gunks the hell out of my kayfuns, and it makes the juice turn dark and start smelling bad, so RDA it is! This stuff is worth a little fiddle-factor!

And I totally agree with everything the OP said about ECF and all y'all. :D Just this morning I was telling my husband how lucky I was to have such a great all-areas-covered vaping forum as ECF -- I really can't imagine how the non-internetting people can vape at all, but I guess if you don't know there is better than drugstore cigalikes, you don't miss it.

LOL, the avi is too cute.

I`v also got a Magma inbound and cant wait!!
AND It should be sitting on a Sig 150 if they meet at my post office the same day.

ONE HAPPY VAPOR, :?)

I've got a few other goodies in-bound; a Smok Galileo+Smok Kick, from MadVapes (they're having a storewide 15% off sale!). Though I'll probably put the Magma on my Fallen Angel (EA Mod clone) because it's got the totally-flat top, but not until I vape with it for a while on the Sigelei so i can determine the optimum wattage for it; far easier to change the wattage on a regulated than a mech+Kick, but once I figure out how I like the Magma best, I can set up the Kick in my Fallen Angel for it.

And some more nicotine and Inawera Shisha Strawberry so I can make some more of this delicious juice!! :D I think I may need to start buying it at inawera.com so I can buy 100ml instead of 10ml. ;)
