New to DIY

[dkeller717]

I'm new to DIY and have done a lot of research on the topic and checked out some good calculators online. Here is a picture of my first batch of Apple Pie. I made 15ml. The picture was taken after I had already used some. The apple pie flavoring is by LorAnn. In this 15ml batch I mixed it at 22%

So does it taste good? Was it easy for you to make? Tell us a bit about your first DYI experience and welcome to the forums and the world of DYI.

Congratulations on your first mix.

Yes, it tastes very good. I first started out making a 3ml sample with 0nic, 50VG/50PG, and 20% flavoring. That was good but I thought it could be a little stronger. I then make the 15ml batch with 22% favoring. Here is the screenshot of the recipe from the ejuicemeup calculator.



I got the Master Artisan Kit from onstopdiyshop.com A friend referred me to this site. I'm looking forward to try other flavors and recipes. I want to try an apple-cranberry next.

Humm, the picture above is hard to see, but if you click on it it gets bigger. I'll have to work on that in the future.

Good going and remember flavors may improve or change as time goes by. Some times they mellow with more time and some times they get stronger with time. 20 - 22% for loranne flavorings is not unusual but remember that using other flavor manufactures may require you to use less flavoring being that they may be more concentrated so always do your homework and start with the minimum recommended amount of flavoring.

Congratulations - it's GREAT that you like your first recipe!

ECF shrinks photos when you upload them directly. The only way to post a full size picture is to first load it to a free 3rd party host (like IMGUR or Photobucket) and then post here using "link to image"...

You will love it...its so much cheaper! I find in my Kayfuns that I only need about 10 percent flavoring so a bottle of flavoring last me a very long time.
