Random DIY mixing and More

[DavidOck]

I found myself with similar circumstances and did the same things. I upped my nic, lowered my VG, and switched to single coil MTL devices. My e-liquid consumption dropped from 15-20mL/day, to less than 3mL. Congestion, phlegm, and heavy-chest feeling, all went away.

I still get my nicotine fix, and don't feel like I am on any sort of vape-diet (I still vape as much as I want). But, I no longer have a rig glued to my hand, and I feel much better. I also am going through my DIY supplies much more slowly.

Similar for me. Although I never did go after clouds, always been a tootler. But probably closer to 3 - 5 mls a day. With 12 mods going, hard to be sure, but I'll go several days before any tank (KFL2L or Skyline, both about 4 ml capacity, single coil) needs a refill.

Speaking of extracts,I got mine today Thank you much

Again, I mix those at 10%, and recommend 2 to 4 weeks steep time.

I got out another sft. VT sour lemon. I figured I’d do another lemon so I wouldn’t have to rewick.

Good idea.

I hope to remember to try an sft tomorrow. I have 5 more to mix but not sure when that's going to happen. I'm finally keeping busy here and finding there isn't time for everything in one day.

I have a box. Literally. Smaller flavor bottles are grouped on ziplock bags (Van & Choc, Fruits, Bakery, Additives, etc) while the larger bottles stand up in the bottom. Except for three flavors of huge bottles that you could hide a ProVari behind.
Then there are two bigger boxes for Tobacco Extracting materials....

I started with that, baggies by vendor/flavor so I could grab them. I now have 3 nail polish boxes plus a box of misc and I haven't finished getting organized. I have a 4th box waiting to be pulled into service (soon because I have a lot doubled up). I need to reorganize. sigh.

I found a little 3 flavor mix to try the pepper out on. This is from SuperFrog on ELR

Peppered Melon
FA Black Pepper .4%
FLV Cantaloupe 1.5%
FLV Wild Melon 1%

With luck I will mix that before Friday

Hope you like it. I like Black Pepper (ice cream). I'm interested in trying it with melons as I like that in RL. Cantaloupe Carpaccio with lime juice, tarragon, salt and pepper is a favorite that we've brought to summer parties. I don't have Wild Melon.. yet.. LOL

What a wonderful idea! Is this basically what you do?

I had no chance at all of coming up with my own Black Pepper recipe. I wrote down the recipe for Black Pepper Ice Cream and then I went in search of on ELR. I had almost given up when I found that neat 3 flavor Peppered Melon recipe.I'll get it mixed before Friday.

@FranC maybe you know how they do chili lime mango...maybe a pepper lime mango instead?

Got my BCF order yesterday and mixed the cherry limeade for my brother. Is it normal for it to be pretty cloudy? Is it just because it's high VG (70%) and the VG is super thick?

Vaping lime is very iffy for me.

This should help you with the cloudiness. It's usually easy to prevent it. I've used a lot of the info in Bill's Blog and his old posts in threads on ECF.

interesting read but I had this happen so far only once and it was the apple pie flavoring i was trying to make (one shot I think ya'll called it) and for some reason it got really cloudy....there's no vg in it, it's just flavorings mixed together......

Thanks! I usually do do that order, guess I'll just have to try mixing it better, like an actual stir maybe instead of just trying to shake it to get it to mix since the VG is SO THICK.

You could thin the vg to your liking. Some like to add 5% or up 20% DW. Buy you could go slow and see what thickness you prefer. It will NOT change the taste or the mix in any way to do this.



eta I do a 50pg/50vg mix and I have to stir it in order for it to mix properly or else you will have a separation.

Maybe alcohol in one or more of the flavors?? IDK

Is that just with certain flavors? I mixed 50/50 for a long time and never had a separation problem. BTW,what do you use to stir your mixes?

I don't remember which one it was but I had a citrus flavor I used get cloudy in a mix. It was only at first and after shaking more it cleared up.
