Jumped into DIY head first !

[10Pups]

I bought a pile of stuff from ecigexpress and started mixing.
All in 70vg/30pg premixed e-juice 6gm nic.
I got 10 bottles and had a couple empties so I started mixing single flavors in 10ml batches at percentages I got from reviews on each flavor. So far this is working out well for me.

These are all mix and vape trials.
I mixed the fruits first :

Raspberry Signature TFA 10 drops per 10ml Despite the reviews I thought this was .............................................................................great ! Hope it plays well with others.

Pomegranate Flavour Art 12 drops per 10ml may need more ?

Dragon Fruit Cappella's 20 drops per 30ml 10 more ? Made error here in my first ..................................................................................................attempt is why so much.

In all the coffee reviews I read at ecigexpress most were negative and not much advice on percentages. I went in sort of blind and just started with uneducated guesses based on the fact that I should use these flavors sparingly :<0)

Coffee flavors :
Tiramisu Flavour Art .5ml per 20ml I love this stuff as it is so far. Will play with .............................................................................percentages and see what steeping .............................................................................brings. It can only get better.

Cappuccino Inawera 15 drops per 10ml Some taste coming but nothing strong.

Espresso Capella 12 drops per 10ml Needs more but has some flavor at 12.

These have only steeped for a day but can't resist tasting them. This is where the patience comes in ? I will edit in notes as I change things as long as the site lets me. Not sure about editing here at ECF and how long you can after original post time.

Desserts :

Creme Brulee North West 12 drops per 10ml I got flavor but maybe more ?

Creme Brulee Inawera 12 drops per 10ml

Van. Custard Capella's 20 drops per 10ml Yummy flavor still faint.

Custard Flavour Art 12 drops per 10ml

Tres Leche Flavor West 10 drops per 10ml Yummy still faint.

I have these other flavors and plan to use them as additives to make my own recipes :
Condensed Milk Flavour Art
DX Bravarian Cream Signature
DX Caramel Signature
Honey flavor Signature
Chocolate (clear) Signature
French Vanilla Signature
Cocoa Flavour Art
Cream North West

I tried to keep this simple aside from the amount of flavors I started with. Kid in a candy store syndrome took over there. I only hope others new to mixing can find something useful from this thread. I have learned a lot here already from you fine folks at ECF and just wanna share my experiences.
I am open to recipe suggestions and any other advice. I will say if the ingredients aren't on my list I won't be trying anything suggested soon though :<0)
Sorry about the spacing. I will perfect it somehow .

Sounds like your off to a great start. Keep at it.

Yep, great start... Have fun!

Right now I am wondering about 2 things.
1. Are my taste buds numb ? I use my old off the shelf juice and it seems to be the same.
2. Are these flavors going to get stronger with time or change. The change I figure will be hard to describe other than it will get better but maybe the stronger part could be described in percentages. Like yes the Coffee will get stronger by about 50% in a week.

I will try to notice these things on my own and make notes. Fighting the impatience now :<0)

Sorry, can;t help you with the % but I can tell you that Dragon Fruit plays very nice when added to any fruit flavor.
And that creams, vanilla's and chocolate will take a while to steep to goodness.

The fruits I am liking just the way they are as far as taste goes although adding creams sounds delicious. 1 of the reasons I started mixing my own is because all the over the counter juice I see is 2 or 3 fruits mixed. And while that is all fine and nice I am looking for a more simple approach to fruit. I don't go to the fridge and grab a pomegranate and piece of watermelon. Just mt line of thinking ! The deserts are more appealing to me and hoping to make some ice cream and custard flavors with what I got. An example would be Tres Leches, Raspberry,and Cream.
Same with the coffees. I like Star Bucks but if I can cut out that venti a day habit with vaping I will be a double winner. Less sugar/calories no smoke. Then I will be perfect. Well okay I am not rich , yet :<0)

I hope it wasn't a 50 Gallon drum you dove in head first................

I am holding off on the 55 gallon drums until I perfect the Doritos flavored juice. Currently dialing in the guacamole and salsa flavors. My Valentines special won't be approved in time this year. Something about regulating the ...... additive. My lawyers are on it though so we will see :<0)
