My first Experience of DIY

[voodoocharlie]

So let me start out by saying I am very ambitious and cheap. So looking at everything I decided Paying for premade juices was more expensive I could just order my own NIC Base, VG, PG, and Some flavorings and make my own juice. So I got everything in the mail yesterday right after I couldn't wait to make my own juice. I used eJuice Recipe Calculator to assist me in knocking the 36mg nic base down to the 6mg I like.

I'm a huge Recese pieces fan so Figured that would be my first try. So I made a small 5ml bottle worth let it sit over night just tested it

100% totally happy with the vape

Thank you to this forum. Thank you to all who posted your own ideas on Youtube.


Just my 2 cents

Thanks

Right On voodoo.

DIY can be Great and it can also be Frustrating at time. Good to hear that you are 1 for 1 so far.

Hope you wrote the Recipe down.

Damn, I wanna try diy, just afraid I won't be able to replicate my fav vendor flavors.

For the non-DIYers out there. If you have some patience and don't mind learning. DIY is awesome. Imagine paying pennies to vape. Imagine never running out of juice. I bought some 100mg, 1 quart of PG and 1 quart of VG (on amazon), about 20 flavors from WL and by my calculations, I'm good until maybe May before I need to re-order anything.

To be Honest. You Probably won't be able to Replicate you Fav Vendors e-Liquids right off the bat. But that doesn't mean that you won't come up with some Very Good Flavors that are Very Vapable.

Also, having DIY Flavors on hand is nice when you recieve a Retail e-Liquid that needs Tweaking.

Yea I wrote the reciepe down Using a made excell spreadsheet labeled by flavor So glad i did will be replicating it over and over again

Good for you, voodoo. Just don't be discouraged when that first real BUST comes along.. and it will!

I've had some crashing busts with Banana, Banana Cream and Butterscotch!

Congrats, Voodoocharlie! Isn't it fun?

You don't have to replicate your favorite vendor flavors. You can still DIY and order your favorites if you want to. Do both! You can find new flavors and tweak them until they're perfect for you though; that's part of the fun. Eventually you may find that you make things yourself that you like so much that you no longer feel the need to order your favorite vendor flavors, but it you do, that's fine too. It's all good!

I made my first bottle yesterday. It needs to be sweeter, but not too bad. I made honey/pears. I am trying to find out if there is a good sweetener to put in. I didn't use the nicotine, because I was afraid to open the bottle.

Don't br afraid of nicotine.. just be cautious and respect it. Always use rubber gloves and goggles, and always clean the equipment you use well.

I totally understand that feeling, Kremppie! What mg nicotine did you buy?

Although I am a vaping vet, I am very new to DIY. I only feel safe using 36mg nic right now, mostly because WizardsLab states in their description "The 36mg Nicotine solution strength is considered safe for direct application without further dilution."

In my offline life, I love to cook and bake, but my kitchen often looks like a disaster afterward from spills and drips. Because of that, I am just not comfortable yet moving to higher than 36mg nic.
