My Feet are Wet

[jadedanomaly]

Hello EFC! I am Jade and I found this site this afternoon in a search for some DIY recipes from the Google box and immediately fell in love with reading all the information. I am in Tucson, AZ where we are blessed with weather from Satan himself. Got into vaping about 8 months ago and was prior to that not really a smoker; the clouds hypnotized me. I started building coils about 3 months ago and now have decided to get my feet wet with some DIY juice after hours of research. I have a quirky sense of humor, and will do anything to get a smile out of you...maybe a snicker and a laugh if I am pushing my luck. Anyway, that is me and HELLO!!

Oh @Susan~S, I was going to go to sleep until you sent this, time to geek out on the reading!! Thank you so much!!!

Hello and Welcome Jade.

Oh there will be plenty of reading ahead for you.

 

[dcfluegel]

howdy! and welcome!

you are in the right place

I think you will find the DIY mixing adventure both intriguing and rewarding - from a cost perspective, you just can't beat it - and the sheer enjoyment of sharing something you enjoy with your friends is just part of paying it forward

and with some of the new gear/ tanks on the market, I think I would go broke if I wasn't mixing my own juice, lol!

another forum member, @Sir2fyablyNutz , has put together an awesome resource list - copied/ pasted below - again, welcome - and happy mixing!

Welcome to the forums! smiles are not allowed, and definitely not quirky senses of humors! For just the thought, I condemn you with 50 lashes of overcooked Ramen noodles..... shrimp flavor! You'll regret the day you mentioned this humor thing.

Seriously, welcome to the forums.. feel free to ask any questions. I haven't done DIY yet, but I am pseudo DIY... I buy a Guava base, and mix with all sorts of flavors.

 

[Ou2mame]

Welcome! I haven't dabbled in making my own juice, I'm just lazy lol.. But one day I'll get around to it. I just don't want to learn anything haha

Oh!! I think you just gave me the name of my first two home brews...50 Lashes and NealBJr (this one is shrimp flavored), thanks!! My friends and family will rue the day you gave me these ideas!! Thank you, very much

Fog'em for me! Just don't try making a shrimp flavor.... I've heard of Bacon flavored Ejuice.. and I've heard it was something pretty nasty.

Just because one can do something,
Does not mean one should!
What's next? Burnt rubber and tar?
OK. I know that's a stretch, but some folks actually like those smells.
I mean. ... Some people choose to eat snail (no judgements) but I couldn't.
The missus asked if I could do pickle flavor?
(No. No I could NOT!)

 

[Bunnykiller]

I did make a Wasabenero juice just because.... one serious throat hit..

Hi and Welome!

Sorry, it's been done grasshopper.

Shrimp, Grilled Pre-Mixed 3ml Sample

They also have a condensed flavor version if you want to try it with your DIY.

Pickle is made by many vendors. Dill Pickle - eLiquid Flavor - ECBlend

Well as I am exploring the the world of DIY I am not so lofty to think my first batches of my own creation are going to be amazing successes...so burnt rubber might not be far off for my first flavors lol...at one point I was pretty good a burnt cotton when drinking and dripping (read: too inebriated to drop)

I don't even want to think about pickle flavored juice...

Whew. I thought I was actually going to have good follow through with my statement...@NealBJr should be relieved to know no shrimp will be harmed or named after him. Haha!

Follow the link to Freedom Smoke USA, they have been around a long time and have many frightening interesting flavors.

No need to follow the link. With 5 stores in my home town where they started, I can just walk in and try all the interesting I can handle and get free popcorn lol

 

[K_Tech]

Welcome, hello, and have fun!

I just meant for you to browse the scary interesting flavors. I can't believe you wouldn't want a peek at a vendor's products when they offer flavors like this: Cheese Parmesan Pre-Mixed
