Thank you! Oooh now the awful waiting game whilst I await all my ingredients! This is the recipe I am planning on trying, non PG. What do you guys think?:

10% distilled water
10% vodka
10 - 20% flavouring (some are stronger than others)
70% glycerine

I have a very tasty looking selection of Lor Ann flavours on their merry way. How exciting!!!

It looks good to me :)

You may need a bit less of VG, as it's quite dense. If you feel it too "sticky" just add a bit more of water or vodka ;)

Mix it well. You'll see that, at the begining, it turns white. When it's totally mixed, it should be transparent again.

And tell us how it works! :)

No, I didn't mean you to change it, I think it's ok as it was... I jus t said that, if you feel it's too dense, then add a bit of water, but you'll see by yourself ;)

Anyway, some people may prefer it more fluid, others less... and it will also depend on the density of the falvoring you use...


One thing about vodka: 10% is good, I like it, but if you put too much, you'll feel that it heats the atomizer a bit more than usual (or I had that feeling), be careful with that ;)

I'd get a dropper, a shot glass, and do a dropper full of glycerin, and a dropper full of rum, whiskey, or other strong drink.

Its really not advanced chemistry. After its mixed take a dropper and examine how thick it is. Too thick, add more liquid, to thin, add more glycerin. When you think you have it right, bottle it. :thumb: Every e-liquid manufacture has a different idea of how think the juice should be.

I've also shaken bottles and examined how fast the micro bubbles rise to the surface. After a minute the bubbles should be almost nonexistent, only the finest micro bubbles remain. If you can count the bubbles, its too thick 8-o

I use a Janty Kissbox classic most of the time and a dse901 mini occasionally. I use cartridges with no problems in the 901 but haven't had much luck with them until today in the Kissbox. However, I tried again today and got one to work very well. Dripping has been most reliable but I've murdered a couple of switches by flooding them. Luckily the new ones aren't affected by liquid.

What ecig do you use?

Kate, it i funny that you said you murdered a switch dripping. i was just topping off a cart today and got a little juice on my hand and then i went for my switch...i stopped and thought...kate likes to drip...maybe that's what happened to her switch? I know that would definitely happen to me. Might happen soon...i find myself wiping off where the cart goes hoping my dripping doesn't kill my switch.

Hi Kimmie. What I did was to flood the atomiser a bit and juice leaked through the connection to the switch. There is a hole on most batteries and switches where they join the atomiser and juice goes in the hole, that wrecks the internals. Janty have sent me some new switches that don't have a hole at the atomiser connection end and they are fine for dripping.

I think you are right to dry that joint occasionally, even if you don't tend to flood your atomiser it can still get wet and that's not going to be good in the switch/battery.
