quick DIY question

[cardiackid]

Am about to spend my last dollars on some flavours & 3ml just sounds like so little...am I not better to get 4oz bottles?
Or...just how far will a 3ml go when flavouring 10 ml 30ml etc?
Thanks...& please hurry...my few $'s are burning a hole

I'm not much help on that yet cardiac. I just bought a bunch of 3ml flavors, even though they're not the best deal.
My reasoning was not being sure of what I would like. This way I have the variety I need to try a lot of recipes. Once that's figured out I'll reorder bigger quantities of my favs.
I took the same approach to getting flavors as I did to trying juice.
Just my

They are small ones, but if you're just getting started it's probably the best way until you know what flavors you like. I pick up TPA in 30ml bottles now from GP, (LF also has them) for the flavors I use on a regular basis, hth

3ml in 30ml is 10% the base of most mixing is 10% so judge off of that, most jooses are mixed 10-15% flavoring, if you are going 100%vg you need 30% flavoring

 

[encee_rz]

3ml of flavoring in 30ml(27ml, to make a total of 30ml with flavoring) is 10% flavoring. Depending on how strong you want your mix, it may be too little.

Though if you're just starting out trying DIY I'd recommend just making 5ml mixes to test out flavors. Probably not with nic juice either, so you're not wasting the expensive stuff, so get a bottle of VG and PG too.

I recommend playing around with an ejuice calculator, there's a couple floating around here. I personally use E-juice Me Up.

Most flavorings I use 1.25ml for a 30ml bottle but I prefer lightly flavored liquid and very infrequently go over 10% flavor. Capellas flavorings from Netrition.com are priced very attractively and shipping is half price compared to canadian vendors but you'll have to wait a bit longer for delivery.

 

[MadValleyVapingMama]

I think I read somewhere that the flavors don't last as long as the base, not sure if that's just when they're mixed, or if they just have a shorter shelf life You may want to take that into consideration before ordering a big amount.

thanks 4 quickies! Just certain vendors only have 4oz..but there are 2 flavs that are a definate - just don't wanna spread shipping charges on too many places - thanks again

10% flavoring is a good place to start. Some mix strong tobacco extracts at 2%, some mix regular flavors at 20%. Start with little tiny batches to see. At 10%, that would flavor about 30 ml of juice. There are several good spreadsheets and standalone programs to calculate, get some and play with them. Don't trust using drops, until you have measured how much they really are.

Start small, because a big bottle of flavoring that you end up not liking is not very economical at all!

 

[MadValleyVapingMama]

Not sure where your ordering from, I found Happy Vapers to have a big selection. They have both 3ml & 13ml if that's any help

 

[CPT.SPALDING]

I have found that i am using about 1.5ml of fruit flavoring in a 10ml mix of 50/50.
The 3ml bottles dont go very far.
Capella's blueberry really hits the spot!

In my opinion Ecigexpress is the best one stop vendor for flavours--prices are great--they sell Perfumers Apprentice(they call it Signature),Capella,Flavor Art ,Lorrans and others--always get orders out the same day .

While 3ml of flavoring is not very much ( on average I get about 3-5ml mixes out of it ), I would never purchase 4 oz of flavoring unless I know FOR SURE that I like the flavor.... in spite of the cost, the one + plus I have for 3ml size flavorings is that it allows me to sample more flavors before committing to a larger size bottle.

Once you have a established what flavors you like, then I say absolutely buy in larger sizes whenever possible.

If you are looking for flavoring in Canada the only place to go is ezvape.ca IMO

I'm a bit unsure of the "generic" flavors on that sight. I do intend on emailing about them though, before I order more flavors. I like the different sizes available and the bottle selections. I'm still waiting for them to get all there stock in too.

 

[Bdbodger]

I order from the flavour apprentice in 1oz ( 30ml ) bottles accept for my favourite ones then 4oz is ususally enough although I did order 16oz of the peanut butter . I hope I end up using it all but if not I am sure I will use most of it . Maybe I'll make a batch of cookies up and use some of it that way

encee_rz--- Below is what I ordered from Ecigexpress on Dec 23--210 ml of flavours for $63.54 shipped--you must of missed the USPS First-Class Mail International Parcel option(I just checked and it's there). I love Happy Vaper and if it was even close price wise to order from them I would in a flash. If you look at the order and wonder why no Capella--they were out of stock at the time--now fully stocked at $5.99 for 13ml bottle.

Yeah typically from 5-7% for me so usualy carry bout 40 ml at the worst, which is typically about a month of vaping for me.

If your after wikid tobacco flavors check out inawera flavours, polish gold they are XD .

 

[shack22]

Chime--Where do you get "inawera flavours" ?
