Hehe that's funny, I've been mixing for a while now and just ordered my first DIY box mod kitI believe you 110%, I've never mixed a drop off juice, I build mods, I just see how bad the government wants to put the screws to us so I'm thing to get all the info I can amd give mixing a shot. Years ago I wanted to start but steeping is the past that really turned me away from it. ... I figured I would just end up with a bottle of everything I had all mixed together into puddle scum.
So I follow that heat application is the same as another ingredient so my thought is to aim at ingredients and recipes that are mix and vape or maybe that do turn out well if heat\mix steeped. .. I keep thinking, everyone pretty much uses the same flavors, so a list of flavorings that are good right off the bat would be way cool ? What are your thoughts on that?
I hope everyone knows that I am really excited about mixing my own juice, I'm not trying to sell it or anything, just not pay for it. I'm really just looking for info and opinions , and I really appreciate hearing everyone's.
Ok since you genuinely look like you want to learn I'll try my best to help out. Steeping should be the last thing that scares you, as I posted above, steeping is negated by nothing more than simple planning. I don't even worry about "this eliquid is fruit so it needs to steep 1 week, this liquid is tobacco so it needs to steep 2 weeks etc". Simply, I just make sure I have enough juice for at least the next two weeks. E.g. if I see I have around 2 weeks of e-juice supply left, I sit down to make a mix. If in any extreme case I've forgotten, gotten lazy, didn't have the time or whatever nonsensical reason, I just mix a liquid that I know tastes good without that much steeping.
DIYorDIE is a great guy who has amazing tutorials on YouTube that will guide you to really start learning how to mix. He's the one who helped me really start to understand mixing, because I was stuck in a bit of a loop before that. If you want to see if "you're going to get excited" his videos are the thing for you. DIY_Ejuice on Reddit is also a community with great sources of information.
Give time to your mixes to steep, use a scale, use low percentage recipes that you understand. 10% Flavour A, 10% Flavour B, 5% Sweetener may taste good, but is not really a good recipe.
