If its good I will take care of my friends :)

You seem to know a thing or two about mixing, would you care to share a few of the finer points with a rookie? I have tried a bunch of different times and am not really having any good success, the purchased juice always tastes way better than my concoctions.

Are you mixing with MBV flavorings? What is your PG/VG ratio? Do you usually get extra flavor shots? Are you mixing single flavors, or a combination of flavors? We need some details please, even if Uno answers :)

Oh, agreed, it's not the same... but it's got the same good writing, and Captain Jack, Owen and Tosh crack me up.

I like the early days, but towards the end the tone changed. It'll be some people's cup of tea, but not mine.


Speakin' of Vanilla...

Mixed up my first test batch from the extraction :)

Wonderful! Can't wait to hear how it vapes!


Still on a Madagascar Vanilla kick tonight...

Basically I use to scour the internet for recipes, the recipe thread has bunches of them. After a while you get a feel for percentages and can whip something up off the top of your head. Just takes practice ;)

Agreed re: the tone change, I didn't care for that either. There are a bunch of boring meta writerly/budgetary/BBC bureaucracy reasons for the tone shift (it's all in RTD's book), which doesn't make the latter seasons good, but it did go some way toward easing my irritation at the sense that Russell just wasn't writing like *Russell* for a little while there. He got his swing back a little in the US season (still don't agree with the decision to move the show there, but the Beeb had decided they were done due to self-same budget/bureaucracy issues, so c'est la vie), and his newest show is quite good once again, though it's a shame he couldn't just continue with SJA... but there can be no Sarah Jane Adventures without the wonderful Elizabeth Sladen, so moving to something else was the only reasonable option he had.

I also await this Unomas vanilla verdict with bated breath. :)

Well I got the rest of my flavorings in and made me up a few little 5 ml test samples.

Peanut Butter/Banana/Sweet Cream
Blueberry/Sweet Cream
Grape/Sour

The first I did 12 drops of the PB and 5 each of the banana and sweet cream. With the blueberry I did 12 drops blueberry and 6 drops cream and the sour grapes I did 12 grape and 5 sour.

I didn't add no nic to them though til I decide I like the flavors.

I also tried to recreate some that I had did on the Create Your Own juice. I think I might have gotten close to it. I know I like all the flavors so I whooped up a 30 ml bottle of them with nic.

I hope it works out :thumb: Let us know how you did.

While I'm trying to nail down percentages, I still only mix 10ml batches 'cause I'm chicken that I've messed it up :)

My first attempt at DIY was the other day with MBV flavors. I just mixed into my 6ml reo bottle cause I was just messing around and I'll have to be more precise in the future. 50/50 with 9 drops of blood orange and 5 drops of Bavarian cream. 2 drops of sweetener. Not bad but pretty light on the flavoring. I'm vaping mostly zero nic lately so I can play a bit easier without worrying about nic amounts.
