So far so good :D Newbie DIYer

[Unkempt]

Bought all my DIY stuff, still waiting for some more flavors to come in. I screwed up my shipping address so it all got sent back to the shipper and im waiting for it all to be shipped back . But so far i made a blueberry cheesecake flavor and a strawberry menthol and just a straight tobacco menthol/peppermint (Currently messing with a double dark choco and butterscotch mix, up in the air about them two being together but im just having fun mixing and testing hehe). The flavors on the menthol were a bit strong but it was still vapeable heh. Just wanted to stop by and say hi to all the DIYers once the rest of my flavors come in i shall be trying all the great recipes on these forums, my brother is a big DnD coffee drinker so i was thinking of even trying a extraction for DnD coffee flavor he likes to try to turn him onto PV's heh. Any1 have some good info for the extraction, i read the PG bath ones but is there any dealing with PGA? maybe if i put PGA in with the PG for the extraction? Also does caffeine get extracted from the coffee? Would be nice to vape some caffeine with my morning coffee vape haha. Thanks guys n gals!

Hi Unkempt and welcome to the wonderful world of DIY! You're off to a good start. Just remember to keep having fun and don't let a bad batch discourage you. I can't help you out with extractions but I'm sure one of our more seasoned vets will stop by soon and give you some good advise. There are some great people hanging out here. Be sure to check out the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/252238-vinegar.html thread. The tips in that thread have helped me more than anything. Amazing what a few drops of vinegar and/or lemon juice will do to a bland batch of juice. Hang in there and keep us posted on your progress and of course those "eureka" moments you may encounter.

Being a mint/menthol "enthusiast", just wondering what you used to make yours. I've yet to make anything really good!!

Welcome and good luck to you-- its a roller coaster ride figuring it all out and what will work best for you. If the mint is too potent -- I've heard Koolada is a a nice flavor to get a cool but not overbearing sensation.

I will take a look at the recipe when I get home for u maestro, it was a bit strong for me and I haven't adjusted everything yet because I'm still waiting on my other flavors to get here
