Living in a box of CelluCotton
I have a combo of lorannes MBV and a couple of flavor art, I have single flavours going well, I like a high vg, 80% or higher if the mix allows! I prefer an. Extra flavour shot, I guess what I'm looking for is, is it better to mix a bunch of single flaves and then, combine or all at once, there is also a good possibility that it's a steep issue, when I was doing most of my DIY I was low on actual juice so I couldn't really wait long enough to get it to shine.
Or maybe some go to recipes for a really nice ADV, I'm just on the search I guess, And was wondering if I was missing something simple.

Flavorings differ wildly in strength, so it's a good idea to make single flavor juices in small batches (say 10-15ml) and use them to test. That's how I started DIY, and now I am confident enough with some of the flavors I like to make much larger batches. The good thing about doing small testers is not only being able to test concentrations, but you can then drip a little of bottle A with a little of bottle B to see how well they work together. Doing a two flavor juice is fun, and a good step up into more complex recipes. DIY is as much experimentation as any other part of vaping, even moreso in ways because we all have our own likes and dislikes. And with a high VG recipe, you pretty much have to let it steep for a few days to a week to really see what's happening. Most of my DIY takes at least a week to take off, and by a month is usually just about perfect.

Good luck with the DIY, it's very rewarding and the best juice I've had so far has been my own. Google some DIY recipes, too, will give you an idea what ratios work for people. Might even find an ADV that way. :vapor:

I always thought it was odd MBV had no pre-mixed cheesecake combinations, but I guess with the mix your own option it isn't necessary. I just buy a big bottle of cheesecake and experiment.

Right now am enjoying Dark Chocolate Wild Cherry Cheesecake.

Just ordered an Innokin VTR to reward myself for a year off the stinkies.

So I'm going to catch up today. I've got duty (24 hours at a desk watching trouble makers strip and buff floors) so I will read it all. Got 24 hrs on today, then 18 hrs off and then 240 hours on. Not looking forward to the next 13 days. Be lucky to sleep more than 2 hrs a day.
Ok back to page 3974.

Wow. I thought working refinery turnaround hours were harsh..... You got some hardcore hours.

Well, I've done it. I've bought a ultrasonic cleaner with heating. Gotta read up on speed-steeping again..... My 50ml of utterly nuts is taking it's time steeping. And I hate waiting for my fave flavors......[/URL]

another tip you may want to try is breaking up those big bottles into a big "storage bottle" and a smaller "vaping bottle" ... small amounts tend to steep faster. I save all of my sample sized bottles and when I find a "keeper" I order a "biggy" and use it to refill my now empty sample bottle.

I am going to do that. Makes sense.
