First the man changed the way I vape with his wonderful devices, and now he give me his DIY advice otherwise known as the "flavoring tip of the millennium"

I am currently experimenting with his "ob proof" techniques. Ill let you know how it goes. Here is a copy of his post.............



Zens DIY flavoring tip of the millennium...

Mix up a batch of unflavored base in your Nic level... A bunch of it... 4-8 oz or more...

Unflavored... Got it?

Ok, now we get out a 10ml bottle and fill it half way up with the unflavored base you just made...

Forget about math... Seriously... You fail because you count... Lol

Put in a drop each of the flavors ya want to add...

One drop...

Not some percentage. One drop.

Start simple... An easy unblended flavor is best to start with.

Ok... Here comes the next part...

Vape it...

Is the flavor too strong? Add more base if it is.

Is it too weak? Add one more drop of flavor.

Most people fail at DIY because they add too much flavor. It gets nasty.

I find that making a base is best, then flavor the base.

And don't overdo the flavor.

Once you know that you put something like 2 drops of flavor into 5ml of base... Then it's easy to say that 4drops goes into 10ml... It's kinda like math, but I'd rather think of it as something else... Oh who am I kidding... It's math... But it's not percentages...

Now go mix some juice and enjoy it.

1 or2 drops might be enough flavoring for 5 ml bottle ? Really?
I am new to all this so might try that....but most recipes I have seen here call for sooooo much more.....how is that possible that small amount will work? like I said I am new to all this DIY.....haven't tried any YET!!!!!!! But am anxious to start.

This is exactly the way I mix also. I also vape the unflavored regularly .. it acts as a palette cleanser and helps me stay "grounded" so to speak. Unflavored is pretty good on it's own and a carto will last forever. Since I am used to unflavored, it only takes a tiny bit of flavor to make a good flavored mix. When I first started out I was trying to use percentages and of course thought that more flavor meant more flavor.. it got to where I started dreading mixing anything because it was so complicated. Now I feel that less is really more and I've settled in to a good routine that I no longer dread. It's good to be in a good place :D

Probably not. But this way you try it and if it is not enough, add another drop. If still not enough.

Keep doing it till it works.
