Making DIY juices

[SirEvelynTremble]

Hi
I started making my own e-juices a few weeks ago, still learning, still buying more flavours.
I use laetrile gloves when working with 72mg nic mix (I onluy use PG)
Flavours: I have bought from Perfumer's Apprentice, FlavourArt UK, T-juice (for their Colonel Custard, which is yummy!)
Also I keep buying 30ml bottles with needle tips for mixing, and I just recently got 10g of Ethyl Maltol crystals which made (with PG, v.cheap) ~170ml of sweetener.
I calculate percentages on a calculator on my phone, not an online affair just because I enjoy doing math lol. At the moment I use 20% flavour and on about 13mg nicotine.

My All Day vape is sweet cherry+peachy custard, which is curing nicely (I use the term curing as that is what you do to: tobacco;tea;vanilla beans;salami), not steeping which is what you do to a teabag in hot water or a rosemary twig in olive oil. Nicotine oxidises flavourings which changes the colour - seems like curing to me

Anyway, this is my first thread. AMA

curing aging... definately not steeping unless one is using real tobacco in the extract

Wow that's really helpful Susan-S ! Thanks a lot.

My DIY so far

Welcome SirEvelyn

I've been DIYing for about 6 months now. I "borrow" recipes from others, and am thrilled with the results.

Cheers!!!

Me and a buddy of mine have been thinking about diy juice

 

[Mac Reezy]

Hey! I just wanted to say, for an addition resource check out reddit.com/r/diyejuice for some recipes or questions you might have. I don't make juice personally, but I've seen a lot of cool recipes over there!

 

[vwjti18t]

I bought some good flavors from myfreedomsmoke.com tfa brand pretty good stuff

 

[Rat2chat2]

Check out the Gourmet and the Super Concentrated flavorings at Vaping Zone. I have been using them for a good while and have been very pleased with the results. Cost a tiny bit more but since you use 1-3% (or less) in a juice, I think it is even more economical. Just my 3¢ (inflation). Have fun with all the DIY.

You will have a great time creating your own flavors for you and your friends. There are a bunch of good juice calculators out there that make things easier. Not just the math but for making notes and remembering and repeating recipes.

One thing I have done to make mixing a lot easier and more accurate is to switch to a weight based system. It is just so much cleaner and more precise. I wish some one had turned me on to it when I began so I didn't waste so much money on syringes and other lab wear. Check out this thread for more information. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/492182-mixing-weight-you.html
