Quickie!

[Moonbeat]

Quickie question that is! Why? What were you thinking?

Ok so, I just got in my flavor free 36mg PG juice and my PG.
I'm dying to try it out with one of the flavors I have on hand.
I have English Toffee and Butter Rum from LorAnn.
I think toffee to start. Can anyone suggest a quick but small mix I can use? I know I need to learn amounts for myself and I will, but for now I'd appreciate a "gimmie".

Also one other question...is there a difference between glycerine and PG. Obviously glycerine is thicker but that's about all I can see off hand.


Thanks tons for help, in advance!

To start I always use a mixing cup from the 7 day plastic pill box, believe it or not. I can mix small quantities in them to get the mix right and mix a full batch based on my recipe. I would start with drops, like 5 VG, 5 PG, 2 Vodka and 1 of the flavors you want. If it is to overpowering just add 5 more of PG and VG and 2 of the vodka.

Make sure you write down what you are adding so you can go back over your notes. The difference between VG and PG is, VG is thicker sweeter, gives more vapor, enhances flavor, and better for people that are sensitive to PG. I use the vodka over distilled water since the voka I use is 50% alcohol 50% water, it helps thin the VG which is thicker it also gives you a better throat hit.

Get a couple childrens syringes and use one for VG and one for PG. Then get a couple ear droppers for the flavors so you can control the amout you use.

Flavor is always driven by what the person likes, it is easier to add to a weak mix them to dilute a strong mix.

Hope this helps

It does, thank you very much I think I'll go experiment. Suggestions to keep notes is something I should of thought of right off and didn't. I apreeciate that suggestion too.

how strong of nic do you want to end up...........don't forget to add the nic

I have also tested flavors with out using PG and VG and just use plain water to get the taste I want in small amounts so I do not waste my VG and PG. Like yesterday I mixed .5 watermellon : 1 tropical punch : 1 key-lime : 1 Cherry : and .5 cheese cake. It tasted just like the original bubblicious bubble gum. I then mixed a small batch in my base PG/VG and it vaped just the same.

Remember this is water base flavors, you can make a drink out of it with water in a shot glass and see if you like the flavors before commiting to using your PG and VG.
Experiment come up with some cool flavors!

Happily - Actually I tried out a 0 nic mix there happily. Sun helped me out some on that too on another thread here. I'm going to hold out on making a juice with nic in it until I get my other flavors delivered from fairies finest. I ordered banana (yum), cinnamon, caramel and cafe de cream (like kahluah supposedly) so we'll see!

Scuba - awesome suggestion on making a drink first! I can see the possibilities are going to be endless in this realm and I look so forward to all of this.

LOL I have been having a ball I have 27 different flavors and the possibilities are endless!
My Favorites so far are my cherry cheese cake and my dajarum clove mixes! I have only had two mixes I had to dump, luckely they were the test water mixes.
Enjoy

I used to smoke dajarum cloves back in my air force days. We'd do it in the morning to kick start ourselves. At the time I wasn't a regular smoker yet so it definately kicked my ..... lol

Yeah, my first four flavors will be nothing compared to what I'm bound to collect. <grin>

If that cafe de cream really does taste like kahlauh (I know I'm spelling that wrong), I'm going to do my utter best to develop a mudslide recipe!

Just got my flavorings and bottles today. Decided to start with banana. It's super nice! I love love love the flavor. It's a little bit like the bananas in runts candy! My mix worked too so I had better go write it down! lol

I am glad everything is working out for you!

I just picked up 5 more flavors, so I am now up to 31 flavors! Hey I am Baskin Robbins LOL
Did you get Bannana or Bannana Creme?
Dan

 

[Moonbeat]

Nuh uh...you have to have 32 flavors for that one! lol

I got banana but I do have a cream flavor. Hrmm...mixing them would no doubt be great.

Right now I'm sold on the creme de cafe. Why drink Kahlua when I can vape it?
Nevermind...that one answers itself...but still awesome!

You've been getting a lot of great advice and tips from Scubabatdan. Are you clear that the VG to which he refers is Vegetable Glycol, i.e., the "glycerine" you asked about?

Are you using VG? It's required for those with alergy to PG. But a lot of the rest of us use it as well, mixing VG (for vapor) and PG (for throat hit).

BTW, how did you like the Butter Rum? So far, it's my favorite of the non-tobacco flavors. [Although this Chocolate Hazelnut I'm vaping as I type this is very nice.]

And I'm trying out adding Wilton's clear Butter flavor to some other LorAnn flavors. I wasn't that crazy about LorAnn's Pecan, so... And, yes, I do prefer Butter Pecan (I think it could use some vanilla though, which I don't have on hand at the moment).

 

[Moonbeat]

Yep...Scubabatdan is da man. Wow I've been hanging out with my sons too much. Did I just say that? lol Anyway, yes I think I'm pretty clear on the vg/glycerine/pg stuff now.

Right now I'm mostly using PG, but I'm going to soon experiment with a glycerine/flavor zero nic mix. I chain vape at my pc and don't want so much nicotine. I figure if I get "urges" I can throw in a drop of nic juice here and there. The glycerine does make a great vapor tho.

I like the butter rum but it's standing in the shadow of creme de cafe from faeries finest right now. That one is made to taste like Kahlua, which I adore. So that's pretty much my favorite right now. I like the milder tasting flavors from faeries better then Lorann's stuff right now.
