Noob questions

[Ninjakelso]

I received some blueberry ice e-liquid from a relative, and the menthol is way too strong; the blueberry is more of an afterthought. Is there any thing I can do to make the blueberry more prominent?
Also, is there any place to buy atomizer heads and tanks cheaply? Thanks.

You could mix it with a straight blueberry that you like to cut the menthol but honestly it is easierr to just put it away maybe as your tastes change you will come back to it. Finding your adv can somtimes be challenging but worth the pursuit.

Without knowing the exact brand of Blueberry flavoring used you will likely make the juice worse by trying to add more Blueberry. Best bet as suggested above is to just set it aside and try other juices. If your absolutely intent on making the blueberry work right now, try adding in a totally different flavor juice like vanilla or waffle.

If it was freshly made, you need to steep it. The menthol's will always be very strong if the liquid has been freshly made, so I would let is sit for a week and try it again.

Thanks all. I'm just gonna shelf it for a bit. Another question, what's the consensus on DIY liquid? I'm on a tight budget and I'm trying to keep costs down.

Well DIY will create a higher initial cost for you, but once you get your recipes down it'll pay itself off over time.

Check out my YT channel for quick breakdowns on juice. I created it to prevent people from buying bad juice. * If you decide to buy

And a lot of us use Fasttech.com for cheap parts.

Most on here would agree that if you're starting out in vaping, you should just stay with pre-made stuff for now. Also there's a DIY juice section in ECF, you'll have to go there if you want to DIY it.

DIY is a great way to save money. Read up on the stickeys in DIY E-Liquid...and ask questions there if in doubt.

I DIY and keep it very simple, I make single flavor mixes of eliquid and if I want something more complex....just mix a little of this of that in your tank. You can switch up flavors easily and if it doesn't work, you only lose a tankful of eliquid....

Thanks all. I think I may have found my ADV. I mixed Carolina blend from revolution with ecto's American tobacco in equal parts and it's amazing. Another quick question which is better clearos with a top atty or ones with a bottom?

Now you did it !!! Top coil vs. Bottom coil is a long running debate and everyone has their favorites.

I like top coils, and have used them successfully for years, other will swear by bottom coil. Try a couple of each and see which you like. The rejects go into your stash box for emergencies.....

Thanks for all of your help everyone.

And you didn't even include the carto fans (shhh) in the debaters. I'm a bottom single coil fan myself. The try some of each is by far the best advice. You don't even need to put the rejects aside for emergencies. They work fine for juices you only want a little of occasionally, or for trying new ones, once you know how the differences affect the flavor.
