What flavors are you mixing? Where did you get your nic base? More information please.
I've had one do that - I think it was NN's coffee cream - eventually cleared up as I kept shaking it. I figured it was because it's a VG flavor so it took longer / more shaking to get it to mix in good.
I've had this happen. I think some of it might be related to your flavor bases. If a flavoring is oil-based (and not PG or alcohol-based) it's probably because it's not blending well into the PG/VG. I've had "tank cracker" flavors (lemon, especially) be super cloudy. Recommendations I've seen is to mix the flavorings together first, then add the PG and finally the VG. Getting the flavors disbursed in PG before adding the VG seems to help
is it milky after gentle mixing or milky after shaking?
my thick vg liquid looks cloudy at first when I start shaking but that is just due to bubbles developing in the vg because of the shaking; eventually clears up with more shaking.
This has happened to one of my diy liquids and seems to go away after steeping for awhile. Don't know why exactly but think it has to do with liquids bonding. Do you do any sort of heat bath or crockpot steep?
I agree with Cullin Kin, we need more info. Details, it's all about the details
I sure did do a steel hot bath.After post the juce is still milky, shake every day and store in a dark cool.It's been 3 day now, I put some on finger and it taste good, tryed some in tank, not good at all.I made apple cinnamon, and cinnamon roll. the nic. 100%pg. my target is 3mg. I do a 50/50 mix.All vg, pg and nic, flavors came from my freedome vapes. I have tryed to mix flavors at 20 %I agree with Cullin Kin, we need more info. Details, it's all about the details
I did do a hot steel bath last night , need to ck. it day. any tips.
Thanks to all who has replied. Any help is greafull. I checked the juice today after last night, and still is cloudy. I'll let it it sit for a a day or two with out shaking and see what going on. At far asa I know I don't have any oil base flavors.
So I think your situation is all the liquids (mic base and flavorings) are perfectly clear and now the juice is milky, correct? How milky? Can you still see through it, is it just a bit cloudy or is is completely white and you can't see through it at all?
Did you mix multiple flavorings at 20% total or just one flavoring into the juice at 20%? I've never needed to go as high as 20% with a single flavoring to get a good result and my multiple flavoring juices don't go that high in total either. If you put too much flavoring into a juice the flavor tends to go off and not taste like what it's supposed to be when vaped. I've tried asting a drop on my tongue a few times and that didn't help me at all.
When I get a new flavoring I trial it at say 5% by itself in 3-5 ml of no-nic PG/VG base and see how it vapes. I have experienced a few flavorings that were too strong at 5%, but not many. I then increase the flavoring by 1-2% at a time by adding drops to the mix. I use eJuice Me Up, a juice mixing calculator to help me calculate how much to add. Once I have the flavoring the way I want it I add nic base and vape it until it's gone. I sometimes find after a few days I don't like it anymore and I need to adjust the mix.
Working with multiple flavorings can be quite tricky and usually takes a lot more experimentation.
There is a DIY E-Liquid sub-forum here that has a lot of information on all this.
thanks ryeden, it was 25 % total. with two flavors. one was at 20% & other at 5%.after 5 days it was still milky and vape like ..... I dump it and starting over. That makes sence not to go over 20%. I like sweet stuff[ cinnamon roll ] is my go to juice at the vape store. I found it hard to use this site. It was still milky in the amber bottel and the dripper looked some what clear. I would like to use just one flavor that would be great. Thank for all the tips. pdog88.
There are different schools of thought on percentages. I mix most of my juices at around 30% flavoring and most of them are vapeable immediately after vaping. No steep required. Of course, it depends on what flavors you're using and who makes them. I stick with TFA flavors. There is a really good thread for them in the DIY section. It wouldn't help you much with the flavor concentrates that you're currently using, but if you want to really get into DIY maybe you should give this thread a read: The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread
Yep, they really do have some quality concentrates. It's all I use now... after trying and failing with a lot of the other flavorings out there. Not to mention that you can order directly from TFA and with a wholesale acct., you can order 16oz bottles of flavor for surprisingly cheap.
For my business we order 4oz bottles for ~$7 bucks using our vendor account. Its amazing.
Okay, my trade secret is this. I mix all my juice in plastic bottles. Put several in a 1gal paint can and put that in a paint shaker for a few hrs. That keeps it from happening to me.
