I will revisit this also, I was thinking that you mix all those in the percentages in one single bottle and then you mix 40% of the original bottle as one solid flavor. So
Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Almond oil 20.0%
Coconut 7.1%
Graham Cracker 7.1%
Vinegar 5.8%
Makes 100% in one bottle then let steep so they all meld well, Then you take the mix that is all flavors combined and add to the vg/pg/nic at 40% so
40% flavor
20%pg
20%vg
20%nic
and thats the final product....or am I wrong and need to make separate flavors of each then mix together?

This is wrong. But your last sentence is right about mixing separate. Please read my post #1779

And be careful with making DIY. If you are unsure with what your doing then don't do it...or ask questions on the forum before trying ....especially when it comes to handling nicotine.

Your statement about just adding 20% nic kinda scares me a little.

Use a ejuice calculator for adding nicotine.

I am so glad i saw this... i have all the flavors for #7 and gorilla juice due to arrive on monday. When i read the recipe i read it as combine the flavors into a single bottle at 40% 20% 20% etc. Then use that mixture at 15% to final base...

Looking back at the recipe it now makes sense.

Glad i didnt waste a bunch off ingredients

Look at post #411 of this thread.

It says 15% flavor to base. Steep times are subjective. I did my final mix and sampled it right away...but I couldn't taste anything. Probably because my previous ejuice flavor was strong. I know the juice will get better with steeping. And if I feel that the flavors aren't strong enough...then I will try 20% flavor to base...and if its too strong ...Next will be 17% flavor to base. DIY is all about adjusting flavors to your liking.

If you had Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Almond oil 20.0%
Coconut 7.1%
Graham Cracker 7.1%
Vinegar 5.8%
In a bottle you would add it to a base at 15% off total flavoring.If you want to go per ML it would be...
Black and Mile Plus 6%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 3%
Almond oil 3%
Coconut 1.065%
Graham Cracker 1.065%
Vinegar .87% per the post on page 42

You even confused me aalwani.

Here is the recipe I am making:
Boba's Clone #7
Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Almond oil 20.0%
Coconut 7.1%
Graham Cracker 7.1%
Vinegar 5.8%


But before making that.
Add each individual ingredient flavor to a separate bottle. At 15% flavor to base.

So 15% Black and Mild flavor to VG/PG (depends on what you want your VG/PG ratio to be) in a separate bottle.
And 15% Cinnamon Danish Swirl flavor to separate bottle, with VG/PG and so on with all the flavors used.
Do the same 15% with all other flavors in separate bottles. This is where an Ejuice Calculator is good to have.

Once you have all flavors in separate bottles each mixed at 15%, then you can mix the recipe to the percentages the way it says.

Such as...40% Black and Mild...but not straight 40% Black and Mild Flavoring. Just 40% of what you mixed before at 15% flavoring from the separate bottle.

This is as clear cut as I can explain it. And if you don't understand...I can't help you.


Makes Perfect sense! Thanks!

Now, this thread as being going on since the dark ages (which is amazing, keep it up!) Perhaps it might be time for a proper video on the above? Anyone comfortable with the process to do such a thing? I think it would provide a nice reference point on the process to date! Of course, someone perhaps who has done reviews and such!

Of course, Slowhand, we would like your input on this?

I think you miss understood my 20% if my nic. is 36% in 100% vg then adding it at 20% would cut it down a lot lower than 36%.
just so everyone feels a little safer about me....
nic. base=1.6ml
pg=0ml
vg=3.33ml
water/alcohol=1.0ml
flavoring=4.0ml
is that about right as a recipe?

That would be 40% flavoring, sounds quite high to me.

Cheers,
Steve

Edit Reading through the thread, the recipe looks like it's 15% flavor. I personally rarely, if ever go over 20% flavor no matter what recipe I'm making.

I'd love to see a video cause quite frankly I'm still confused on this process :unsure:

Not sure how your ensuring your chosen nic level doing it this way?

If you all your individual solutions are at the same nic level say 12mg/ml, your final recipe will be 12 mg/ml. In my opinion it is easier.

Yes. For me that is the easier method. Since the final solutions mixed together makes 100% of the Recipe.

Boba's Clone #7
Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Almond oil 20.0%
Coconut 7.1%
Graham Cracker 7.1%
Vinegar 5.8%

So here is the easy method using the recipe above.
All flavors are at 15%.
To make 100 mls of juice at a 12mg nicotine strength.
For this example we will use 100mg Nicotine Base.
Note: If you have a different nicotine strength, then you will want to re-calculate using an Ejuice calculator.

-Also Note that Nicotine and Flavors can come as VG/PG or both. And that needs to be considered when mixing. As the VG/PG that come in the nicotine and flavors will be part of the mix to make it what you want. If you want 50/50 VG/PG final mix, or 30/70 final mix, then you will need an Ejuice calculator that allows for you to specify whether your nicotine and flavors are suspended in VG and/or PG to allow recipe adjustments.

-But for this recipe example I am keeping it simple and not specifying on the nicotine or flavors being suspended in VG or PG.
Each flavor is mixed individually into separate containers.
Sorry...no video.

-Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Make 40 milliliters of Black and Mile Plus @ 15% flavoring, and 12mg nicotine.
-Nicotine: 4.8 mls
-B+M Plus: 6 mls
-VG/PG: 29.2 mls

Add to one container.
All flavors are in separate containers at this point.

Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Make 20 mls of Cinnamon Danish Swirl at 15% flavoring, and 12mg nicotine.
-Nicotine: 2.4 mls
-Cinnamon Danish Swirl: 3 mls
-VG/PG: 14.6 mls

Almond oil 20.0%
Make 20 mls of Almond Oil at 15% flavoring, and 12mg nicotine. (Notice the trend of making the same amount as the percentage yet?)
-Nicotine: 2.4 mls
-Almond Oil: 3 mls
-VG/PG: 14.6 mls

This is where it gets hard since the next mix is 7.1 mls and calls for small percentages in .001 increments, so I included drops as well.
-Note that 20 drops counts as 1 ml in this recipe example.

Coconut 7.1%
Make 7.1 mls of Coconut at 15% flavoring, and 12mg nicotine.
-Nicotine: 0.852 ml or 17.04 drops (I would do 17 drops)
-Cocunut: 1.065 ml or 21.3 drops (21 or 22 drops)
-VG/PG: 5.183 ml or 103.66 drops (maybe just round up to 5.2 mls. Unless you really want to count 103-104 drops)

Graham Cracker 7.1%
Make 7.1 mls of Graham Cracker at 15% flavoring, and 12mg nicotine.
-Nicotine: 0.852 ml or 17.04 drops (I would do 17 drops)
-Graham Cracker: 1.065 ml or 21.3 drops (21 or 22 drops)
-VG/PG: 5.183 ml or 103.66 drops (maybe just round up to 5.2 mls. Unless you really want to count 104 drops again)

Vinegar 5.8%
-Nicotine: 0.696 ml or 13.92 drops (I would do .07 mls or 14 drops)
-Vinegar: 0.87 ml or 17.4 drops (.09 mls or 17 drops...maybe 18 drops)
-VG/PG: 4.234 ml or 84.68 drops (Maybe just 4.2 mls...Sigh. Life is what you make of it)

Now let all the flavors steep for as long as you like in individual bottle, and later simply mix all the bottles together in a bigger bottle/container that will fit 100mls and you have made Boba's Clone #7!

Additional Notes: When it comes to .01 increments, it doesn't have to be exact. Simply round up or down to your liking. It's your DIY recipe, so make it how you like it. Just as long as it stays within the general guidelines of the recipe. Such as 17.04 drops of nicotine, I would just round down to 17 drops. And with the coconut/graham cracker flavoring that calls for 21.3 drops, maybe 21 drops for less flavor, or 22 drops for little more. When it comes to rounding up or down in drops though, it almost doesn't matter, when the final mix is 100mls. I say 'almost' since we are talking about nicotine and flavoring here.

Did I say at the beginning that this was the easy way of making this recipe? OOPS!:)

This is how I would do it, however I make all my individual bottles at 100 mls, this way i have extra for later on or if i want to play a little with the percentages. Of course the B&M will finish first since it accounts for 40%. And using this method also it is easier for me to use a graduated flask and a pipette. i fill 40 ml of B&M and then 20ml of Cinnamon Danish on top for a 60 ml of an intermediate juice. maybe i will pour some on the side and experiment. You have everything PG/VG flavors at 15% and nicotine ready at that point, and everytime you add a new eliquid from another bottle on top you will have a new juice as well.

You are right about making bigger batches of each flavor aalwani.

The recipe I provided is just a way to make the juice without wasting of having juice left over.

But it would be easier to make bigger batches and then add them. That way you don't have to get into micro amounts of adding things.

For instance, for the flavors that are 7.1 and 5.8...it would be easier to make 10 mls of each flavor and then if if you were make say...100 mls of the recipe. You could just add 7.1 and 5.8 of those flavors out of the 10 mls you made.

The way I understand this clone recipe is to make a flavor, and to make this flavor you use

Black and Mile Plus 40.0%
Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0%
Almond oil 20.0%
Coconut 7.1%
Graham Cracker 7.1%
Vinegar 5.8%

You make whatever amount you want, for instance 10ml. Then you use it to mix with your nicotine base, as you do with any other flavor. 10%, 15%, 20%...whatever suits your taste.

Sorry, i don't get the long way to it.

Yeah. That's how I did it when I first started. And it didn't turn out that good. Nowhere near tasting close to BB. But hey...to each their own. DIY is a learning process. If you want to do it that way, then its fine. You will waste flavor IMO and the black & mild plus at 40% will be overpowering. But make it how you think it should be. Its your DIY. Its way better at 15% of each flavor and then added @ the given percentage. And it taste closer to BB the way I explained a few posts back.
