New to the game of diy juice

Well i juat wanted to see how it goes befor i went full force. And understand it. So i thougjt if i just played with it little at first to see how comfortable i was with it. And also if i do a 50/50 and then add flavours then that will put more pg?

Yes if the flavours are PG based. I go with 50/50 for my base and nic. and just add the flavours... I'm not that much of a "purist" .. for me it works just fine. (and so for my wife and daughter that also vape) No complaints from anyone.

I have the eleaf istick 30 w. I know its old. And not hip. Lol.

Hey, it's a fine mod, my wife had one, I used it, we gave it to someone to get them to vape and stop smoking. It's more the tank.

My reasoning for mods are fairly simple: comfy in hand, battery life, decent options for temp. control, and ability to change the battery. I'll never buy a sealed mod again, as once the battery dies out, the mod is a paper weight. I love my TC100W because of all these things and only need to vape at 35-50W, and use temp. control.

Tank wise, my main go-to is a Melo 2, which is part of a the only huge cross compatible coil family from different manufacturers, and I've been rebuilding them, which is easy enough...(made a picture guide on here if you're curious)

After reading what every one was saying thats kinda the way i was going to go. So after i get this batch fixed and all i will start on 50 50 and add my nicotine.
So if do a 50 50 base and get a 75mg nicotine that would be a good way to go?

Yup.. it's all about trying anything you'd like... just use a calculator to get the nicotine level correctly with whatever you use for base, that's the most important thing. Just be sure of the nic level from where you get it from, put that into the calculator and how much you're making and it'll tell you the amount to add.

That way all you have to do it Add Flavoring. Yes... the Nicotine mg/ml will be Slightly reduced. And Yes... the PG|VG Ratio will change Slightly. But chances are Very Likely that you will be Unable to Taste the Difference.

Just adding Flavoring/Sweeteners is the Easiest way to do DIY.

That's the way I do it, @rlisa. Sometimes I mix in a flavor or two to the base, sometimes I just vape the base by itself. The base has 24mg nicotine, with some flavoring added it is 20 to 22mg. I notice no difference. As zoiDman pointed out, you probably won't. The 'noticability amount' is different person to person though.

All of you have been so helpful to me and would like to say thank you so much for all the info. Its going to help me along the way i sure of it. Overwhelming right now but my brain is taking it all in. And i know i will catch on to this and again thank all of you for your input. Still a little confused on the 50 50 or the 60 40 or the 70 30 but i will get it. Small batches untill i figure out how i like it best and and how it all burns.
