New to DIY Liquid a few questions

[gimmieshelter31]

For anyone that chooses to use the ejuicemeup calculator,be advised that at the top, there are a few useful tools. Before using, it is beneficial to click the "Website" tab and drop down to "How To". How To takes you to a webpage explaining each block on the calculator.

Also, under the "Tools" tab, three useful tools available are : Nic Combine - This helps to determine the resulting nic strengths of up to three different liquids of known nic strength and volume. The "Flavor Percentage" tool tells you how to convert recipes you may find that use the flavorings totaling 100%. Finally, "PV Tuning" is an ohms law calculator where you fill in two known values, such as device voltage and resistance, and the calculator figure the wattage (power) and amp draw.

Yeah that ejuice me up is good but I don't see where it shows what % is pg and vg%. When I am done mixing
It just tells me what to put in I bought 50pg and 50vg. Nic juice so it will probably make it more confusing

On ejuicemeup, in the bottom half of the section titled "Resulting Recipe", the two boxes for PG and VG to the left is where you input your desired pg/vg ratio and the calculator will factor the amount of each ingredient to achieve your desired ratio.

The best advice I can give for vendors is Wizard Labs for your Nic, EssentialDepot for your PG/VG (A gallon of each shipped is 48.06) and E-Cig Express for Flavour Art Flavorings. I purely use FA and just remember less is more! This cannot really be stressed enough, 1-2.5% FA is amazing (and you use so little the 10ml bottles last a long while). I would stay away from sweeteners as they tend to mute the flavor, I use 50/50 PG/VG mix the VG adds the sweetness I need. A quick tip that a friend recently told me is to pick up some contact lens cases from your local Dollar Shop or Walmart. Use them to quickly mix up just tiny bits of liquid (without nicotine) to test out flavors (make 1-2mL in each and if they come out crappy, dump em' without much loss) much better than mixing up 30mL of Sweaty Man Bum. If you haven't already pick up an Atomizer (Rebuildables such as the Phoenix are incredibly cheap) to test your flavors out on. You won't get a cleaner better flavor than with a good Atty!

Hope all this helps

So you just drop the juice on the atomizer and vape it off? Then you drop the next juice? You don't have to clean it?

I bought flavors from wizardlabs cause they were 1.49 each. I want to try FA as well in the next month or two. Do they have good fruit flavors?

 

[gimmieshelter31]

You don't have to clean the atomizer after each change. I personally "vape through". Of course if you want to test your diy flavors you should at least blow the atomizer out and vape a little plain pg or vg and blow it out again before trying a new flavor.

BTW, I have found Liberty Flights to have the best price on Flavourart but if I cannot get everything I want from there due to stock issues I go to ecigexpress. For me where I buy flavorings depends greatly on everything else in my order.

I'm going to try some Hangsen tobacco flavorings from either ecigexpress or VZ next.
