Mixing Eliquid

[chickennoodles]

Hey anyone here knows where to get PG base and flavorings here in Malaysia.

Would love to know what you use as flavoring. Read through the forum and found that flavorings used cant be bought locally so Im looking for alternatives. Thanks in advance.

PG & VG(no nicotine) I purchased from my local bakery supplier in PG(Sim Company SDN BHD @ Carnarvon Street and all my essenses i use from lime to durian..just avoid any essenses in oil base(usually nuts)..download eJuice Me Up - e-Juice e-Liquid Recipe Calculator and follow instruction to make whatever recipes(click on file & U can see lots of recipes after U dl) ..only some not a bakery ingredient and has to source from elsewhere..maybe "little india" for tandoori flavor or biriani..hahaha..i am happy to concoct my own..i like lemon mix with peppermint,coffee & vanilla,tutti fruitti,grape 70PG-30VG ratio @ 12-18mg nicotine in my mixtures..will 1 day try durian flavor..good luck if U do try DIY,just make sure U mix small amount 1st like 3ml ..i even throw all my "leftovers" smell funky but still vapable..hahah..regards mafig

Durian? Does that kinda make your whole house smell wierd? Haha. Would love to give durian a try in an e-cig one of these days, but I'm afraid I will have to use an atomizer that I'm planning to throw away...coz I doubt I will be able to get rid of the taste and smell once I've used it with durian..

i have tried....just 2 to 3 puffs of durian flavour at 1st flr will smell till grd flr.
it's a flavour which can't be vape in-house or car. LOL!

It's more "powerful" then Virginia Cigar USA.

mafig.. thanks for the help but can you recommend some brands for flavours that are reliable? all these online sources are suggesting brands like lorannoils. anything similar to that sort of quality? cant wait to brew up some eliquid. vaping on all these premixed eliquid is killing me... inconsistent flavours.

 

[chickennoodles]

not to mention.. bloody expensive as well compared to mixing i presume

Cap Bintang maybe?

lorannoil and all the other flavor specialists can mixes diff % of primary flavors into their own special fragrant like in perfume and name to match the mixture..but strictly i like the source rather than artificial flavors as U can tell without knowing what U R vaping..i can distinguish all the flavors i vape..i like pineapple,coffee,grape and lychee very much...and now i try and mix diff flavors 2-3 types,not more than 15% in total..70/30VG & 12-18mg strength in nicotine..so do try and be adventurous..and never bore with the flavors i DIY..way to go happy vaping..regards mafig ps durian flavor i have not yet vape..but will since i like durian hahaha

Mafig, once again great info there but my concerns are that maybe this locally made flavourings just aren't 'safe'? doesnt feel right. haha i can see from your pic that you use different brands. mind naming some of them so i dont have to go through all the trouble or experimenting with what wont work. cheers buddy

goto any tesco store...look at the baking section..u will find all halal ingredient for flavors..just dont select any flavor in oil base..i buy most of my flavor at a specialist bakery supplier & some from tesco too..the specialist bakery supplier have PG & VG(zero nicotine only) in 500 ml bottle for sale for around $8rm and lots more flavor to choose from unlike tesco limited..anything edible as far i am concern should be ok to vape on..only oil base cannot mix well in e-liquid so i avoid ok? so try to explore the DIY in liquid..so much fun doing it..regards mafig

The flavours that are used by a lot of the e-liquid manufacturers or custom makers typically come from either Lorann or Perfumer's Apprentice (Create your own perfume with The Perfumer's Apprentice) ...or some other reputable source. A good flavour base will make or break your mix. Some vapers find that the Lorann flavours tend to have a bit of a chemically taste, and I can actually speak from experience that this is true, as I've tried a few of them. Perfumer's apprentice flavours are much more expensive, but they tend to better.

Some PG or VG base also have a slight chemical taste to it that can be frustrating. Finding a nice PG or VG to mix with is one of your first priorities too, one which tastes clean and pure. You may also want to try out PEG400, as some vapers find that a 50/50 mix of PEG400/VG tends to give good vapour, but maximizes the flavour and throat hit too.

In the end, it's a matter of trial and error. Patience is needed, and a long period of investment to find the right mix and materials. If you persist, the rewards are good, as you get good taste, at a reasonable cost.

Another thing you may want to keep in mind these days, is that if you are using nic juice, some nic juice makers and sources have been exposed lately in other countries to either have less nic in the juice than claimed....or even more dangerous......much much more nic in it. There was one case highlighted her in ECF that a nicotine base that was claimed to be 100mg, was actually 272mg. THAT IS STUFF THAT CAN KILL SOMEBODY !!!! Even touching a 272mg juice can make you very very sick. Some nic bases were tested to show less than half of the claimed nic content on the label.

THIS IS NOT TO SCARE EVERYONE FROM MIXING YOUR OWN E-LIQUID...It's just to educate, and to make sure that you purchase your materials from reliable sources...and you do it safely....and end up with an e-liquid that will taste good and is safe for consumption. Mixing my own juice is something I can't do well, but I do admire the people who persist and manage to come up with some that they like.
