Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

What did you end up mixing the Island Mango with? Or have you just done a SFT?

I like the sft so I did a cheesecake. Island mango, VT passion fruit and mango, and Starfruit for the fruits.

Thank you ALL for your help. Given me a lot to go on.
@Skeebo , I won't be doing any mixing. Just some pg/vg and one flavoring, to make it easy on myself. But thank you for the great sounding recipe.

I am headed out for the evening to enjoy some family time in the family room. Wish you all a good evening and look forward to more BSing. If Frannie is here a lot, I know I can count on some laughs, too.

I like that recipe. I don't currently have either pudding, but want to get, or the VT Banana Custard, but I could get that. I have all the rest.

@Skeebo has a couple really good banana recipes. I'm not sure if they are in @Zazie's blog. They should be if they're not.

Did I mention they're really good?


ETA: NVM, Skeebo already posted, I'm slightly behind.

Glad to make you laugh

If there was someone in my area that wanted it, I would happily let them have it. I might post it in the classifieds. That is a good suggestion.

You could ship it as a pesticide. UPS and FedEx rates are cheaper than USPS, although you would have to declare it a hazmat.

Why not get tobacco? Try Seedman 506 as a starter for tobacco DIY:
Tobacco Flavorings for Home Grown Tobacco

Note that their site is specifically "don't ask us about using our flavorings for vaping". They actually sell flavorings that are used to flavor tobacco [emoji3] That said, their 506 ia great base flavoring,

(I used Seedman back when I first started DIY, was never tempted to try any other tobacco flavors.)

Along with the various Seedman tobacco flavors (that aren't going anywhere - they aren't marketed for the vaping market), some tobacco absolute, used at TINY amounts (a couple drops per 30ml) adds a bit of bite to a tobacco eliquid. I see it available here:
Tobacco Absolute 100% Liquid Concentrate

That stuff is very thick and hard to work with. I bought a 50/50 mix at Mfs after getting the straight absolute like that. I tried diluting it with pg and it always separated.

For straight TA, pg is no good. Dilute it with high proof alcohol, then shake before using in case there's been any separation.

One bottle of the premix has lasted me forever. I still have a bottle of the straight TA somewhere.

Has anyone had an issue with nic from River? Reports on another form are saying recent orders are bad. I'm checking mine now (I've got a bad habit of not always checking).

There have been issues but they were a little while back.

My cheesecake Zenith is starting to get a bit clogged. It’s not that bad right now so I won’t change the coil til my Mango Cheesecake has a few days.

My nic was from August 2020. Here is a photo of River Supply

and the replacement nic they sent.

I'm so glad I bought a few liters from Heartland.

I've often noticed dessert flavors get more interesting with more heat / higher wattage, while fruit notes come out more in a cooler vape.
I have an Aromamizer Plus V2 I'm running between 88 and 98 watts right now, low end works better for fruits flavors, high end for desserts.

Brave. I run a Mizer too but only at about 65

Hi guys,

I have a question about DIY juice inventory management. Ever since I started vaping the aim has always been to try and vape what I have. Being a fairly compulsive spender on vape gear and juice I am always over-stocked but the mentality has always been to vape what I can, throw out what gets old but always give juices a chance. In other words, I’ve adopted the common real world function of not being wasteful. After all, we pay good money for commercial juice.

However, DIY changes the entire equation. In the last month I’ve purchased about 70-80 concentrates and have started to make recipes and solo blends. My inventory of juice has exploded and that’s only after 2 sessions of juice mixing. There are so many recipes and solo blends I still want to make. There is no way I can vape through all the juices I am making along with what’s left of commercial juices.

The question I want to ask is how do you all manage the ever increasing inventory of juices you have made? Do you throw out the ones that aren’t enjoyable? When do you make the decision to purge a juice? Do you give them away to friends? Do you just horde them for years and hope you get to them one day?

how does ejuice inventory management affect your production of new recipes? If you have such a vast inventory of juice do you restrict how many new recipes you make or just take a break from DIY?

I mix for 3 people. Myself, my daughter and her dad. What I mix, they vape, no questions asked. They aren't picky. Neither of them like to buy commercial juice. I sell it to them for cheap, usually180mls of different things for $20. Covers my costs. I do not like to mix so getting me into it is sometimes a chore. Seems like when I start, I like it and can do it for days and end up with several bottles of 250mls. When I get to more than 8 of those (the amount of large bottles I have), I quit for awhile. Sometimes getting started again takes a long time. If this happens they have to buy commercial juice.
So I think the answer to your question would be, yes I quit when the amount becomes larger than I can dispense.
If I did not have this outlet for it, I would just be mixing 60ml bottles

I agree. Even in the same tank (at the same wattage) the first draws taste more of fruit then as it warms up, I get more bakery/creamy notes.

That's where I plan to buy. Thank you SO much! Do you know what the Ssa stands for?

I had the weirdest thing happen. I’ve been using a Kanger mini sub with a .5 coil. The coil is well over a month old and still vaping great. I picked it up and took a vape. When I went to take another vape I got nothing. Looked at my PV which said atomizer short. So weird. I’ve never had that happen before.

I had the opposite problem (same tank/coil) It had set (unused for a couple weeks) Suddenly leaked all over the place. Did you mean the drop-in coil or RBA you built?

.5 drop in.

I tried my apple butterscotch custard v6 last night. I am definitely going to a larger bottle on the next mix. I was worried about the apple flavoring being to strong, however, it wasn't.

Which apple?

Hey, I like a good banana liquid. Got any to share? Mine are not really noteworthy.
I've been using RF SC's Banana most, lately.
You have me craving a banana cream pie now.

His banana moon pie is delish
