Okay, I have officially made my first batch of juice, which turned out surprisingly well. Bloggish, but here's what I did -
Mixed up 300ml of 9mg 80/20 unflavored juice - One Stop DIY shop gifted me a big dropper and a couple of pipettes which was appreciated.
60ml36 48mg PG
180ml 0 mg PG
60ml 0mg VG
mixed, then drew some out into a 5ml bottle. Thanks to CVS for giving me a 10ml oral syringe
Added 2% Flavour Art RY4 extract, dripped and found it a little too weak Added another drop of RY4, which perked things right up so I stuck 1ml in a CE2 carto and vaped that - tasted pretty good but wicked a little slow so I added 20ml vodka to the batch, which thinned it out a bit. I probably could have used another 15-20ml vodka and I can squirt the stuff into a CE2 fairly easily, but it's still a bit thicker than a straight PG juice.
Passed it on to the spousal unit, who approved but said it tasted a little too much like a cigar. Added 2% caramel, dripped, then did the CE2 thing but caramel was a little weak. Decided to draw up a new batch and add a little vanilla.
The vanilla was a Really Bad Idea. Tasted a lot like burnt butter so I pitched that batch, upped the caramel to 4%, dripped, passed it on to the spousal unit and then loaded up an EMDCC.
The spousal unit approved of the mix and *disapproved* of me tweaking it any more, so I shot 9ml of Flavour Art RY4 and 12ml of LoriAnn caramel into the 300ml unflavored batch, mixed and bottled it.
Taste is good, vapor production is good, and the thing is head and shoulders above the DK-TAB I was vaping earlier today.
At the end of the day after testing and pitching about three 5ml batches I ended up with 300ml of a pretty nice 9mg juice. It's a tiny bit thicker than what I was using before, but it wicks pretty well and ain't a bad vape at all for a first effort.
I'm rather pleased with my first mad scientist effort
edit: Fixed brain cramp in recipe above.
