I pawned all the coffee and tobacco ones off on hubs.
Neighbor wanted me to start mixing for him and I'm not too keen on the idea. Told him that he could have my old juices. Had to add nic to them as he is still at 18mg.

At least:lol:
That's the only reason I'm leery. If it was smokey and plum I'd probably go with 3%



Better make a lot of the smoked plum. You'll like shake and vape, the floral fades. And the smoked plum comes out so you'll need enough to get that far.
Thanks, I'll do a 15ml testet.

    I wouldn't want to take on the job of mixing for someone else.Have enough trouble finding enough time to mix for myself.

    Mix for myself and my cousin and very occasionally my uncle wants a small bottle of something that smells good to him. That's enough for me, especially since Meg and I like different juices and need different bases.

    So right you are. I just lost my taste for lime. but on the other hand I've never found a tart lime flavor. Don't know if I'd like one but maybe.

    I haven't really had a eliquid I considered tart (I have FA pom too). I think I mostly get hints of stuff in vapor.

    I'm 54, yet made a man my age blush... Yay, I still got it! :w00t:


    That's why I've been doing so much research first, so I don't make the same mistakes (or as many) as those before me...
    Yeah ya' do! ;) :D:D:D

    That's just being smart. :thumbs:
    So I was reading on a e liquid DIY blog that he uses Smooth in all his recipes. Thoughts on Smooth flavor as an additive?
    I have used Smooth; and I still keep it on hand. For me, it remains in the category of last resorts. It does tone down harsh sharp notes. But, it also can mute desirable high bright notes that I want to keep in my mix. I would never use Smooth without first trying the recipe without it.

    Instead, I will try tweaking the other flavor components first, and then add Smooth only if nothing else works.

    I had a couple of those (friends of friends). I said I would be happy to show them how to mix their own; but I was not going to mix for them. As far as I know; they are still buying commercial liquid.:rolleyes:

    That's my usual policy. I'd rather teach my hobbies than sell them. I've already ruined art by picking something I love to make a career out of.
    Besides people who ask for knitting for dollars have no idea how long it takes so they won't pay that much, I don't even make gifts. Too much pressure destroys the meditative reason I do it.
    If I had to make eliquid for people I'd be tempted to charge $15/30ml.
     

    Skunk!

    What is it?
    Horchata is a Mexican vanilla cinnamon rice drink. The flavoring (Capella not Flavorah,sorry) is pretty spot on.

    Likewise. And it can turn into a can of worms too easily.

    I'll give some to vaping neighbors now and then, and also perfectly happy to show them and help them, but it's diY, not Ido4U :)
