Opinions-Do alot of you make your own Juice?

[dearme]

Usually 10%. If it's a new fruit I haven't mixed yet, I still do 10%, figuring I can change it later just by adding drops of unflavored or more fruit.....but 10% is usually spot on for me. I also never test the flavor before vaping it.

I guess that should have said.........roughly 10% total flavor. I don't like really strong flavors.

Thanks! Do you add sweetner? I'm trying to figure out why my juice is kinda crappy. It's good nic base, TPA flavoring. It's gotta be me.

hmmmm 10% ... might be why some of my fruit flavour is not as flavorful as I would like....to much = less flavour? right? I have been using 15-20% so might be I am overdoing it a wee bit...thanks

 

[swedishfish]

The first time I used 15% and gagged myself. Yes, for some weird reason too much flavor seems to cancel the flavor out.

 

[dearme]

I don't use any sweetener except for the honey.

Too much flavor can really ruin the juice.

Too much flavor never improves things. It just adds a weird chemical taste. If you don't like the flavor you made, try adding some unflavored. If you still don't like it, add a bit of a different fruit.

If you haven't before, try Pear, all by itself. I didn't think I would like just pear, I mean what kind of a flavor is pear??? Sounds pretty dull, but it's actually very good all by itself. I think it my absolute favorite flavor.

 

[swedishfish]

Maybe I'll try it. I've tried strawberry, peach, pinapple and melon. Maybe I should forget about trying to duplicate the flavor from VB and try a different fruit.

Oh! I like you!

Very accurate. The whole more-means-less-or-worse is generally discounted. (Sometimes as ramblings of a crazy Hoosier...)

And pear is an amazing flavor.

 

[dearme]

Ooooh, mixed all together it sounds like a pina colada.....Wonder what a little champagne would do for it??? LOL

 

[Kami]

I will drop it to 10% and see what we see....thank you dear, swedish and Hoosier.

 

[dearme]

Thank you, Hoosier, Kind Sir. I will take that as a very high compliment from the maestro.....LOL

 

[dearme]

You're welcome, Kami. I thought maybe ya'll would just think I was weird......LOL

 

[mahv]

I DIY. There are many reasons:
1) I can't buy nic containing liquid in my country legally
2) the taste- I love stronger tastes than our "black market" juices are
3) I'd love to know what is in my juice
4) maybe some day it will cheaper also after I have tested all of these wonderful flavorings and recipes-LOL
5) it is fun

 

[Hoosier]

compliment from the maestro.....LOL

I don't think I remember being called that before.

Off to search the meaning of "maestro"...

Oh, well, thank you for that title. I am humbled. (I thought it was a music thing, but I can only play the radio and make frogs lovesick when I sing.)

Hoosier, I saw that one of the new juice vendors was offering a pear cucumber flavor. They said it was one of their most popular. I looked at TPA, but they don't have cucumber in a DIY flavor. I really would like to try the pear/cucumber. Have you seen cucumber anywhere?

 

[dearme]

Making juices sing is even better......LOL

 

[Hoosier]

No, I have not.

Some Bitter Wizard in pear might come close? Maybe a hint of Koolada?

Sorry, thinking off the top of my head. Cucumbers have that bitter/barely sweet thing going for them with a grass/corn background. Love a good cucumber and they always make me think of gyros for some odd reason.

Good thing I have too many experiments going on right now, or this idea would have me filling a few dozen bottles with experiments for cucumber/pear.

Im into DIY but i dont take it to the extreems like some.. I just buy 100% PG 24mg nic and TFA flavorings and drip X drops into X ml and vape that.. Taste good to me and saves a ton of $$

 

[sidetrack]

Been into DIY for about a year now and I vape 1.5ml per day which costs me $2.95 per month in eliquid, and that figure is high since I based it on 20% FlavourArt flavors. In that year I have been able to go zero nic easily by reducing the nic slowly. I have about 10-15 recipes I like and keep on hand so I have lots of variety AND I never run out! I like the idea of not being dependent on anyone else unless absolutely necessary.
DIY is certainly not cheap in the beginning and it will take some time to zero out the initial cost but in the long run it's well worth it to me.

 

[dearme]

Please let me know if you see any cucumber anywhere......Thanks.
