So I am gonna try to make my own juice. Here is what I got:

60 mL of 60mg nic juice (25% vg)
125mL PG
8x 10mL bottles (figured if I wanted to make smaller batches I just won't fill all the way)
.25oz Menthol Crystals
Dropper
Lorann
-English Toffee 3.7mL
-Watermelon 3.7mL
-Peanut Butter 3.7mL
Perfumers Apprentice
-Waffle 6mL
-Maple 6mL
-Cotton Candy 6mL
-tobacco blend (PG) 12mL
-Menthol Liquid 12mL
Tobacco Absolute 1mL
2x 1mL pipette
2x 3mL pipette


Still need to get ahold of some PGA



Did I miss anything besides other flavorings?

Not gonna mess with syringes I'll figure something else out.

thanks

Here's a must read guide for anyone starting DIY. The DIY forum is also a great place for asking questions and getting recommendations.

It looks like you have all you really need to DIY. Your measuring equipment is all I see you're missing. Have fun!!

don't the pipettes measure? I watched a video and that is how the measuring was done.

Might want to get you some Ethyl maltol it adds a bit of sweetness to flavors.

Pipettes aren't very accurate and a bit difficult to use. You can use a syringe without the needle or buy a refilling tool from someone like GoodProphets. Cotton Candy is EM diluted in PG.

Plastic pipettes are not usually well marked, so they are usually used to dispense drops.

You can mix by drops, but each liquid will have a different amount contained in each drop. Thick liquids will have a higher volume drop than thin liquids. To figure out how much of each liquid is in a drop you'll need a graduated cylinder and a calculator (or good division skills on paper).

Not to say that mixing cannot be done with unknown drop size alone, but it can make things more difficult than it needs to be.

Ok so i guess I'll add some syringes. I feel like a drug addict with syringes laying around lol

Just to refresh my high school chemistry course 1cc = 1 mL correct?

 

[GoodDog]

correct...

Ok so added some syringes, and some ethyl maltol. Still gotta find some PGA, but I have a friend going to OHIO this weekend - not sure if they sell it there or not, but gonna try.

Clicked submit. Now the waiting game. (The waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippo's!!!)

Any idea on shipping times for Myfreedomsmokes.com or Onestopdiyshop.com?

Can't wait to get in the lab

You should be able to get PG at Walgreens, maybe CVS will have it too, although I had to ask the pharmacist and they had it the next day. I think it was about $20 for 1 pint.

OneStop is real fast, usually same day ordered/out, but since it's a fed. holiday...
Since you are close (I think they're in Minnesota) you should get it 2 days after shipping, I would think.

Both MyFreedomsmokes and OnestopDIY ship really fast. Have fun. Oh, and you can get a pint sample (or a gallon) of Superol VG from Procter and Gamble shipped to your door for free. You can find the sample center here. http://www.pgchemicals.com/default.asp?page=samples&region=Americas

PGA = pure grain alcohole ?
in that case you can use a high % vodka if you cant find it
