Is it really this easy???

[jclifford]

I have just completed my first batch of juice. Mixed up about 200 ml's. 70/30 12mg nic. Very first try, used the white peach from RTS. I let it steep about 30 seconds, filled up my clearomizer and HOLY ****. Best juice I have ever had. What did I do right or did I just get lucky?

200 mls for your first batch? LOL yes you got lucky.

 

[jclifford]

actually 200 mls unflavored, only added flavor to 10 ml......

well single flavors might seem easy, and still then it might not be right for you. But hey if this works for you, welcome

What did I do right or did I just get lucky?

Both. If it tastes good and the nic level is right for you then you did it right. If you hit the perfect juice on the first try, you're either a natural mixer or lucky.

Why, yes. yes it is and no, no it's not... Simple recipes are easiest of course, the more complex not so much... My experience is if I make something for my loving wife (who likes fruity things) I always hit the nail square on the head and she loves them; if for me (who likes tobacco based things) I have to mix batch after batch to get something half vapeable...

It is easy to make a juice, hard (or less frequent) to make a good juice. Your luck comes also from the fact that your first flavor you attempted you actually like. Most of us in DIY have dozens of flavors we have ordered over the months or years, and very few are actually good to vape for any amount of time. I think I can hang with about 10% of my flavors, but if I took more time, some flavors I don't like on their own might be good background flavors with others.

But welcome to the club! Congratulations, your world will now be ruined by obsessively making more recipes and juices than you can vape.

what percentage flavoring did you use for the white peach? With single flavor juices, it's just about getting the percentage right and, of course, if you like the flavor or not. If you like it, you should make another 10ml batch right away and let it steep for a few days to a week . .you might find it changes - for either better or worse. If you still really like it after steeping - then mix up a nice big batch and write down the your recipe for this one.

Welcome to DIY! Be warned - it can become quite an obsession. For me, it's bigger than all other aspects of e-cigs combined.

Oh boy, another avenue to be compulsive about!! I appreciate the warnings, but I am already obsessed. I think I had a dream last night about my next mixture.
I used 1.2 ml RTS white peach in 9 mls of my base. Base was 127.5 ml PG, 67.5 ml VG, 30 ml of 100mg/ml (PG) from Wizard.

I have just completed my first batch of juice... Best juice I have ever had.

Do you realize how many of us are typing while green with envy?

At least you have a DIY fav flav while experimenting with others!!!

that is the answer to my question. Beginners luck. ( I am still laughing, with not at.) I just happened to hit it right with the white peach from RTS. I am going to give them all the credit. Tomorrow will be the real test, I have to make more, I will have gone through 10ml in less than 48 hours.
