Random DIY mixing and More

I don't have enough flavors yet to need an organizer, but it's interesting to see just how deep one can get into this hobby.

I have room in my drawer divider for them now. Most are 10ml bottles.The flavors are in all different odd categories. I'll probably just put them all together for now.

As long as it works for you. I've found that what "should" work, what seems most logical, seldom is the best solution. What actually works takes a little experimentation.

You got that right. At least I have greatly cut down on the search.

Yes indeed,but it's so much fun

I am mixing tomorrow. Got some great ideas from the thread. I want to redo my mint chocolate chip ice cream flavor (one of my favorites) but add a touch more mint.

I kind of think white chocolate and peppermint might be a neat combo and it's one of my favorite flavors.

Will be making testers of some new stuff, too. But yes, tomorrow is mixing day. I will also be upping my PEG400 percentage, so it should be interesting. Thank you Nicotine River for selling that stuff at like $20 a gallon. LOL.

Good luck with the mixing,Anna and the PEG400. My mixing day will be Thursday I think if I don't get to it sooner.

I now have my "odd" stuff in a divider section putting the stuff I'm most likely to use it front. I have lists for all the divider sections. Should cut down on the time searching for flavors.

Oh my. I forgot I have a flavor order coming today.

 

[DancingHeretik]

How many flavors are coming?

 

[FranC]

Eleven of them...................

 

[FranC]

Whoops,and another 5 from another order.

You've got me curious. Do you keep a list of all your flavors so you know what you have?

So a coworker asked me what I did this weekend. He's not a vaper so I had to sort of step him through DIY and what I'm trying to accomplish with it, but he thought it was kinda cool that you can do it. He's a pipe and cigar guy so he compared it to mixing your own pipe tobacco. He did think that a mint chocolate chip ice cream flavor was kind of crazy though.

So I just kind of wonder how you folks who are deep into it as a hobby explain it to people who don't vape.

I don't, except in very basic terms. No details. That's what ECF if for. To talk to people who understand!

Yes. Listed by divider section in the drawer. The 2 cases are also listed.

I don't explain unless someone asks.In that case I explain as simple as possible.

I'm rebottling nicotine, and I have the FA magic additives, plus a refill or two.

The recipe calculator I have gets them entered off the invoices. It uses that to calculate how much a bottle costs. It can also keep an inventory to alert you if you run out, if you click the button when you make it.

I see. I probably wouldn't want to explain it to everyone either. The guy I was talking to though tends to "get" stuff like this so I felt comfortable stepping him through it. He knows I've been vaping to quit smoking and all that.

There are others in the office who I may just as well not mention it to. If they ask what I did over the weekend I'll probably just say I relaxed around the house. That's basically what I did anyway, I just broke it up with some mixing from time to time.

I don't run into that IRL. Online I passed on the suggestion to use food/ecig flavoring in colonoscopy prep and someone came back panicked about that dangerous ecig flavoring so just use food flavoring. I explained to her that they are all food flavorings, the risky ecigs flavorings are from food flavoring companies that won't test for things that shouldn't be inhaled.

@DancingHeretik I'll have you an opinion on the LB White Chocolate Peppermint soon. I plan on mixing tomorrow if all goes well.
