Question Regarding Flavor Amounts

[Bobee]

Not sure if this is a stupid question or not, but I am curious to those who are DIYing as to how much flavor you normally order/keep on hand at a time, and how long these flavor amounts are lasting you. So I guess a good piece of info to include if you respond would also be some insight on your vaping habits.

Thanks

um....most of us diyers have more flavors than we will ever use....take me for example, i have over 275.......and i wont stop till i have every one out there!

Wow, you have a lot of flavors Ninfrek.

I have about 36 flavors. I have about 3 oz of caramel and ethyl malto since I like those in almost all my creations

I lost count of the amount of flavorings I had on hand two years ago. I think I go through about 60ml a week vaping, but it's hard to keep track with all the little bottles of experiments that I occasionally pickup and start vaping on. (Like this bottle I have marked as Absinthe-1 that I just found while looking for nail clippers that now seems to be really great. I know I have the notes on the recipe, but I have no idea how much I made back then or how much is left because all my notes are in percentages.)

How long the stuff last is unknown to me. I imagine that it can turn, but I'm don't know if turning is like sour milk or like disappearing notes in the taste.

What size bottles mostly, and have you ever ran out of one, and how long did it last? Sorry lol. I'm on the verge of diving in to making my own and I want all of my bases covered. I'm I very heavy RY4 vaper. So that's definitely where my DIY dreams lie. I just don't want to under shoot materials, but I am possibly underestimating the longevity of materials when DIYing. In any case, thanks for your response.

I've scoured your blog Hoosier, thanks for the response!

What size bottles of flavoring? Anywhere from 4ml to 250ml and everything in between. Start small, you don't want 4 oz. of stuff you don't end up using much of.

Nicotine solution? If I have less than a liter, I''m worried as I go through about 120ml each time I mix.

PG & VG? I only get those in gallons.

4ml are exactly the sizes I was looking at, quite a few flavors have caught my attention on TPA. As I said though I just don't want to under shoot, but I guess that's just me trying to overprepare lol
