New to DIY - any suggestions?

Hi folks!

So i just received my order from TPA and BoxElder, and here is what I got:

TPA:

tobacco Flavor-15ml
Double Chocolate (Dark) Flavor-15ml
M-Type Premium tobacco Blend-15ml
tobacco Extract-4ml
DK Tobacco Base Flavor-1 oz

BoxElder:

500 ML 36 Mg/Ml Blend - Vegetable Glycerine
60 ML Flavor - Chocolate
60 ML Flavor - Creme De Menthe
60 ML Flavor - Butterscotch
60 ML Flavor - Peach
60 ML Flavor - Mint Chocolate

My idea is to make 1000ml of 18mg base (50%VG 50%PG), so that I can just add the flavourings to smaller bottles.

Any recipes you guys use with this flavourings? I heard that about 8% DK-TAB and a micro drop of TE is a good start for a good tobacco flavor, what about the rest?

WISH ME LUCK GUYS!

Thank you!!!

and help you. One thing though since you are new to this and am not sure if you are aware of this or not but all flavorings have pg in them unless otherwise stated so be sure to take that into consideration when mixing your juice.

Is it a bad idea to make a 18mg base? I only thought about doing that after reading that sometimes nicotine doesn't fully mix with VG, so I was going to shake the hell out of it after adding 500ml PG just to make sure it was fully mixed.

I handle my nicotine as little as possible since oxygen is what degrades it. (But I also stick with 100mg so I can do the mg/ml in my head as a double check to the calculator.)

I premix my PG&VG, but have never thought about premixing my nicotine because my recipes vary from 5% to 35% flavoring and even a difference of 2mg/ml has an impact on my vaping satisfaction. (If I started with an 18mg base, the higher flavoring juices would be closer to 12mg and I would never be able to stop sucking on the PV long enough to type.)

After a couple mixes, I found that all of BoxElder's flavours are AWESOME! I have Double Dark Chocolate from TPA, and this chocolate smells so much better than TPA's! Mint Chocolate is sooooo good!!!

I didn't do the 18mg base, I just left as it is and I am mixing in separate bottles.

I think that 8% is still too much for DK-TAB, this is really strong stuff. Might try 5% or less next time.
