I have all of my ingredients and tools now it is time to mix!

I read a lot right here and watched videos. I have been mixing my own unflavored juice and am now stepping it up. I bought a lot of different fruit flavors, sweetener, lemon-lime, and mint. I am trying to stay away from the diketones as much as possible and I enjoy the fruit juices I have tried. I have a beaker, two syringes, blunt tip needles, 15ml and 30ml bottles, and of course by premixed base nicotine.

My first attempt will be a simple cherry juice from the recipes I have read here. I am going to start with a 10ml batch from a recipe and adjust it to my taste as I go. The ejuice calculator is waiting so off I go.

Thank you in advance for providing all of the great information! This should be interesting.

I posted this in the general eliquid forum on accident. So I tasted my juice after mixing and I thought it was pretty good. Woke up this morning and it tasted burnt on the same atty/watts. I mean five hours later and I can still taste it. Brushed the teeth, mouthwash, coffee, heavy menthol vape, and it is still there! Ughhh!

How much flavoring did you add, Did you add sweetener if so how much? Did you try lowering the voltage on your VV?

Maybe post the recipe you used and we may be able to tell you what went wrong. It shouldn't have changed so drastically in 5 hours.

Please be sure to include brand of flavoring the percentage used and base information.

yes DIY is funny stuff flavours seem to have a mind and a will of their own. I finally have found a one flavour mix that I like LA Apple at 18 % in 50/50 mix at 10 watts in my nautilaus mini I am not sure it is an adv though I have some TPA sour and some French vanilla TPA and some TPA milk chocolate and some blueberry extra TPA any thoughts on what might mix with the Apple or do I just try one at a time

I used 5% LA Washington Cherry which I just read has sweet almond oil in it. I am guessing that is it.

No sweetener and I did lower my wattage.

I have vaped the base by itself and it is good.

I used a 70vg/30vg base at 9mg nic. That is it. Just the base and the cherry.

I will try the Apple tonight Caro. I like apple by itself.
