Ordered m first stuff!!!

[xena222]

I am waiting for my DIY juice to come from Wizard Think I have the way I will mix it up - a little worried about one of my cats getting into it - I think I am going to clean out a shelf in my buffet and store it there.....have two flavors of menthol ready to go too...I got the 48mg VG, and a bottle of PG to mix it up - I ordered some syringes too - I am a little worried about getting the amounts right

What have I gotten myself into this time?? LOL!!!

Ha ha... I'm right there with you. Just ordered supplies this weekend and now I am playing the waiting game. So many look to be good solo so I will start with those to get my feet wet. Good luck.....

Get a good calculator which will make figuring out amounts very easy. I recommend the ejuicemeup calc.

ejuice Me Up - Best ejuice Calculator

and some recommended reading

Read my blogs before getting started

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

then read hoosier's blogs.

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

Thanks so much for the links! A lot of info...but I am definitely motivated - if I keep buying eliquids, LOL, I will have to vape instead of eat
I have the ejuice calculator - it was so much easier to use than the other ones for me!! I have a tray to use for mixing to catch any spills, and I ordered syringes to measure I am going to start with a 10ml bottle....I am still not sure about adding flavor, I have the premixed juice to try things first, and I think I added too much - I like a LOT of menthol, maybe 15-20% will work?? Or is that way too high? I have the 48mg juice coming and I am going to mix it down to 24 for now. Then I am going to try to make a small bottle with lower nicotine and see if I can do it...I was a very heavy smoker, and have been vaping non stop so far

Start @ 10% max on almost anything but if you pop the cap and the flavor hits you in the face start at 5% LOL The smell is a give away for the power of the flavor generally speaking. That is what i have been seeing

You might want to start a lot lower on that menthol... like 1-2%.

Good idea to keep it stored in a pet safe area. I put my cat in his carrier while I'm mixing to avoid any sudden mishaps.

Im one of the few that like light flavor...one of reasons I went to DIY. I do everything at 10 percent where I used to get it premixed they did it at 15 percent or higher.

I have been bored the last few days though and looked in my steeping box and I have like 400 ml of juice on standby! Time to ease up! LOL

I agree on starting the menthol at 1 -2%. It's easier to add more then try to dilute it and most menthol's are very potent.

To much DYI juice seems to be a common theme around here. I have like 200ml worth of 10ml bottles of stuff I hardly ever touch except for a change of pace vape then that vape winds up sitting in a clearo for like a month.

I just started and I can already totally see how you guys got there. It is so easy to end up where you guys are! I already have stuff that is a month old and I haven't gotten at it yet cuz I just keep buying more flavors and mixing more.

EJuice Hoarders!

Common problem! I have around 500ml mixed myself, mostly in 15ml bottles. I have all recipes in a file, notes on each one, and now I have a problem... I keep forgetting which ones have become my favorites!! I like so many of them and constantly rotate flavors!

Welcome to your new obsession!

And, get ready for your surprise in your Wizard Labs package....

 

[xena222]

Ohhh I am going to the post office today - LOL! Did someone say SURPRISE? My favorite word!! I already have 3 bottles of things that I've bought - so now I can make more? I am going to start low on the flavor - I kept feeling like I couldn't smell it enough?

I am soooo going to be a liquid hoarder.....
