So you can cook (even a little)? ... you can make ejuice!
It's just like seasoning a dish: the base is your main course and the flavors are your seasonings.
First order a few flavors that interest you - maybe some you think may go together - but the later is not a necessity.
If you like sweet flavors - order some - such as: Lorann's: bubblegum (the best bubblegum out there) - cotton candy or marshmallow - Capella's sweet cream - or a flavorless sweetener. Add these to your recipes at the end - if you'd like (many combinations do Not need sweetening).
Order a base - PG, VG or a mix - these guys are good: E-Liquid Bases - E-Liquid(E-Juice) Made in USA
Order a higher mg than you want to end up with - for example: if you want to end up with around 8mg per ml - order at Least 10mg or - if you like your juice flavorful - at least 12mg per ml.
Order some of these unicorn bottles: 30ml Unicorn Bottle - and mark the cylinder part of the bottle into 8ths with a sharpie. Order some extras for experimentation.
When your flavors come: first smell them. If they smell like an old, wet gym shoe: toss them in the trash and chalk it up to experience - as they probably won't taste any better.
If they smell good - touch a clean finger to the rim of the bottle (or the tip) - get a tiny bit of the flavor on it and touch it to your tongue - as this will tell you how strong it is and if You think it will taste good.
Drink a sip of water or milk (or something) in between each flavor.
If you like them - you are all ready to use them!
Fill your marked bottle half way with your base (premixed - all pg, all vg or your own custom mix) - then add flavoring.
If your flavor tastes really strong: start with a few drops and work your way up to about 1/4 or Less than halfway to the next line - testing in between additions.
If your flavor is weaker - or if you like strong flavors - then start at about 1/4 of the way to the next line - and gradually increase the flavor almost all the way to the next line (almost to the 5/8ths point) - testing the flavor each time before adding more.
Put a clean thumb over the top of the bottle and shake really well. Make sure the color of the juice is uniform throughout.
Take a clean tank with a new coil, and take a pipette (the one ml size of these are good for this: Disposable Pipette) - put less than a half tank in - and try the juice (to avoid burning the wick you may want to draw in a few times first - without the battery turned on).
If it is too strong: take the tank off - pour the juice back into the bottle and add a bit more base (depending on how strong it is).
If it is too weak - pour the tank juice back into the bottle and add a bit more flavoring.
When it is almost perfect: stop right there - and do not add that last thing - unless it is a flavored or unflavored sweetener - the reason being your juice will taste a bit different in a day or two (or even an hour or two).
Put the nozzle back onto the bottle by taking your thumbnail and putting it on the rim of the bottle - then push the tip down to your thumbnail.
Check to be sure this left a gap of less than a millimeter - it will make the tip easier to get off when the time comes.
The cap will still go on that way and the tip will stay on as well.
Keep your tank about 1/2 full and vape your new juice for a day or two - shaking the bottle well before each use.
When you vape - pay attention to the flavor - there are three parts: the flavor when you draw in, the flavor when you exhale - and the aftertaste.
The easiest part to accent is the aftertaste.
Say you are vaping a violet juice (don't order TFA's violet - it is useless - but FlavourArt has two Great types of violet - regular and parma style, and Bickford and Best have decent violet flavoring) and you feel the aftertaste tastes like banana - order some (unless you have it on hand).
If you are making rose ejuice - maybe the aftertaste would be accented by black cherry and / or sweet cherry - whatever you feel would enhance your base flavor is the one to try.
When you have the flavor you are going to use as an accent: taste it to see if you like it and so you know how strong it is - and if you like it - add a small amount (less than a drop if it is a strong flavor - one of these will help you - size 1cc or 3cc: Syringe with Blunt Tip Needle), shake the bottle with a clean thumb over the top and try some (filling halfway into an empty tank with your pipette).
Be advised that a very strong flavor (such as hazelnut - TFA has the best one) will overwrite your main flavor - and you will have to divide your juice into two or more bottles - add base and your main flavor all over again to compensate.
Don't worry though - unlike cooking - where you can't just add more of the main course - if you over season your juice just add more base (this is why we only filled the bottle half full).
A small amount of flavor will accent the aftertaste only, a medium amount will accent the exhale and the aftertaste, and a larger amount (but less than you added of your main flavor) will accent the draw, exhale and the aftertaste.
If you added a small amount - and it accented the aftertaste and you really like it - you may want to add a bit more to accent the exhale too - or still more to accent the whole vape (this is what I did with semisweet violet / banana).
If you feel it is needed - add any sweet flavor or flavorless sweetener last - as you can better tell what sweet flavor will accent the mix - and how much you need - when your juice is almost done.
If it is a tie between two different sweeteners - say cotton candy and bubblegum: take two bottles and put just enough juice into them to cover the wick on your tank - take your syringe and add a fraction of a drop of one sweet flavor in the first bottle - and a different sweet flavor in the other.
You can taste them in the tank you are using - but you may want to run the wick under hot water and blot dry in between.
The juice in the "winning bottle" can be poured back into the "main bottle" - and the desired sweet flavor can be added with your syringe.
You can keep the "loser" aside and vape it separately.
If you find a flavor you love - it helps to have different companies versions of the flavor - as each will taste a bit different - giving you a fuller, richer version of the flavor than you would have with one company alone (unless you find one company that has an absolutely fabulous version of the flavor - which is usually not the case).
If you are the type that likes to have a recipe - write things down as you go along - if you have marked the bottles - it is very easy to see how much of each thing you are adding.
You can make any flavor combination you can imagine - as a day or two of careful reflection on the taste of your juice Before adding Each ingredient - and cautious adding of flavoring usually add up to a great ejuice.
It takes a little while the first time (mostly the waiting for the flavors to "develop and mature" between each additional flavor) - but once you have the perfect recipe - you will be mixing your custom ejuice like a pro - and because it was made to your specific tastes - it will be perfect for you - and others may like it too (have been mixing for three people for 10 years - no recipes - and no complaints - yet :^).
No more hunting for hours for recipes that don't taste that good - no more calculators - no more dud juices!
You can make juices like rose / bubblegum with black cherry / sweet cherry undertones - or cantaloupe / yam / sweet cream - which has an aftertaste of hazelnut - but be Super Careful if you add any hazelnut to the mix - as one drop flavors about 60ml of juice (it is good without the hazelnut anyway).
This is just the way I have been mixing for years - others may have their own opinions - to which they are entitled.
Hope this gives you the confidence to start creating your own perfect ejuice!
