I'm new to vaping. Switched from analogs to a Halo G6 31 days ago and haven't looked back. Being the type of person that can never leave good enough alone, whether it be my car, my computer, or, in this case, my juice, the idea of DIY intrigued me. I kept hearing about Dawn and how great her company is, so Sunday I finally placed an order for a DIY kit and a bunch of flavors. Well by Monday evening it was out the door, which was more than I expected because I know how busy Mondays are for most of us. The post office says it will be here Wednesday. I can't wait to open that box!

Order late Sunday. From Vegas to Central FL by Wed! That's great service.
Will report back after I get a chance to play.

Thank you Dawn! -Rob

LOL
Cologne!
Not exactly what I was thinking about when placing my order, but there ought be something in this box that will work.

Okay,
Got my order this morning.
I had ordered a lot of flavors to play with. Had upgrades to larger sizes on some of my favs! How does she know? Lots of free goodies too. Was like Christmas! I really don't think they could have crammed another single thing into the box.

Everything was carefully packaged so no problems with breakage or damage. The kit was exactly as advertised as were the extras I ordered. There was a printout of basic mixing instructions as well as safety information. I'm pretty sure even without all the studying I've done on the forums that I could safely make something vapable. Also, even though I ordered some extra bottles and stuff, the kit does have everything you really need.

So, first step was to get on my gloves and goggles and cut the 60mg Nic juice to 30 mg. I've worked my way down to 12mg and will be trying 6mg this week. Don't need to have 60mg sitting around the house. The resulting 60 ml of 30mg nic. was poured into the pretty blue Halo bottles that I had saved.

Just a stray thought. I measured out the nic first then poured it into the bottles, then the PG, so that the PG would pick up most of the nic in the cylinder to avoid sending a drop or two down the drain when I washed my stuff.

So far I've made 6ml of a pina colada flavor with extra coconut. It's okay but I'm gonna tweak it a bit before I share the recipe.

This is gonna be fun & right now, I'm a very happy camper.

Thanks Dawn & DIYflavorshack!
Awesome service!

PS...there was also a handwritten thankyou note on the packing slip.

I'm having trouble making anything spectacular. I guess we all go through that. I mixed mango (one stop DIY, Dawn only has it in a 6 pack of other flavors), tropical punch, and strawberry and it was a nice fruity mix but I was going for a smoothie. any suggestions on tweaking to smoothie status?

Thinking maybe sugar cream. Also, if you got strawberries & cream that might help, but I haven't tried that flavor yet. I've got the same thing with the Pina Colada. Just a little too much tang. Next time will add more coconut and maybe a little sugar cream. Made up some of the Irish Cream flavor last night. Was a little dull so added 8 drops of sugar cream flavor and 1 drop of Ethyl Malto. Rounded it right out. Tastebuds a bit flat today due to sinuses. Major weather change last night. Fall finally arrives in Florida!

SWEET HOME ALABAMA
I too am having problems with my sinuses. Bad cold, so NOTHING is tasting very good to me. Everything is flat. I know this too shall pass, but what do I do in the mean time? Is there anything I could try to vape that might stand out at a time like this? I keep thinking if I grab something menthol it might help, only one problem, I have nothing made with menthol in it. Get this... I was a menthol smoker. I have been trying to stay away from stuff that taste like analogs. Hate them things. :facepalm:

Also....
Thanks for the tips on adding sweet cream to a few that need tweaking. I have a few I wanted to taste like milkshake and ice cream but don't know what to add to get that.
I love DIY Flavor Shack.:p Dawn is a great supplier. And she is good to her regulars. Actually all her customers are important to her. You GOOOOOO Dawn :vapor:

Hmm I don't have any sugar cream, but I do have pound cake, bavarian cream, ethyl malto, and some vanilla bean ice cream.. not sure..
