Mad Scientists! That's what y'all are, right?

[shanagan]

I just realized why this whole thing is so appealing to me. I've always had a bit of the mad scientist to my personality - starting with mixing horrific combinations of stuff found in my mom's kitchen (coffee ground pancakes, anyone?) and making younger kids in the neighborhood eat/drink them.

Then, I was a bartender 'nuff said.

NOW, gadget-y inhaler-y thing to which I can add my own flavors?

Awwwwesome.

Bahahaha! It's so funny that you say this. I have recently (in the last 2 months) started DIY and every time I start mixing juices, my BF calls me a "chemist" lol..

Sh, that's worse than being a chef! Or... a roadfooder. Hmm, what about an e-juice chef???

Just dont hook your passthru up to the lightning rod or you might not be ALIVE.

 

[shanagan]

I swear, I'm having to sit on my hands, figuratively, not to order all the DIY stuff I can get my hands on!

 

[piratecaptainbob]

for those experienced DIYers out there, is it really fun and rewarding to make your own juice? i thought about trying it but not sure.

 

[Ast_Isis]

I love DIY and started experimenting about a month after I started vaping.

IMO, it is worth doing. Not only in the long run do I save money, but I have the ability to control exactly what goes into my liquid. Not to mention it is just fun creating your own flavors.

 

[VPDownunder]

It's great fun and very rewarding, being able to make strengths and flavors exactly how you like them is great and my friends always love trying anything new I come up with

Just don't serve them "on the rocks."

I've just recently started the Mad Scientist schtik myself and having a blast with it. After analogs for so long and the who knows how many nasty chems they put in those, it's VERY refreshing to know exactly what I'm putting in the juices

I'm having a blast mixing my own stuff. How many crazy combo's can you put together that turn out to taste great! And the ones that don't taste great... got any friends you wanna prank? >=)

I made the most god-awful elixir I dubbed "merlot". When I tell you that it was bad, I mean it would have scared cats off a gut wagon. Because it's not a real expensive thing done in small batches, I don't mind failing. It's a good opportunity to laugh at myself.

Funny you should say that. *points to signature*

I love DIY. And if there's going to be one thing that shatters my fantasy of saving money with e-cigs, it's not going to be the fancy mods, or the cool accessories. It's going to be needing every flavor, every mixer, every piece of DIY chemistry, in all of existence.

I'm holding back for now. We'll see how long it lasts.

Is it worth it?

Depends on your personality.
If you find it impossible to make the same dish the same way twice, you might be a DIY mixer.
Do you wonder why the person who made your food didn't use X, you might be a DIY mixer.
Does producing something unvapable get you down, you might not be a DIY mixer.
Does producing something unvapable make you want to go back and start again, then you might be a DIY mixer.


It's a hobby. It's control over exactly what you inhale. It's experimenting. It's producing juice that is only good for cleaning drains. It's about producing juice that makes you say "wow" before you finish inhaling.

I think it is fun, but I'm a Hoosier...

I am a professional mad scientist.
I get tired of it sometimes...

I've found my people. Gadget-y, a little outside the mainstream, tinkerers & chefs... It's all good.

I used to be a pita as a kid, whenever I got something I used to take it apart to see how it worked lol.

Neat, does it work with fruit juice or do you have to carbonate the water and then add flavoring so it doesn't damage the device?

@ shanagan, click my signature link if you haven't been there yet.

You carbonate the water first, then add whatever you want. I like the flavoring syrups they sell. Lorann's or similar flavoring can be added, and whatever sweetener you like. Make it a little fizzy, or hella fizzy. If you like plain old sparking water, it's great. Great for mixing drinks, and making tempura batter. It makes a very loud TOOOT noise for a second after each blast of CO2, so it's also fun for the kiddies.
