I don't think DIY juice is that hard to make. There's a lot of recipes on these forums and other forums. I just don't want my place to look like a chem factory. I also don't want to store Nicotine or any other DIY juice products in the fridge and have someone mistakenly think it's drinkable, i.e. the kids.

Alot of people overcomplicate it. Or they are so intimidated at the concept of it, that they think it takes a chemistry lab.
I use 2 syringes and repurposed juice bottles. Then the basic Pg/vg/nic/flavorings.

I was curious about that Carnage eliquid and while googling it saw a link for a diy clone recipe for it. :facepalm:[emoji23]
If it's the same clone recipe a local B&M of mine uses, it tastes nothing like the real deal. The clone recipe has a very faint taste of the Red Vine Candy but you have to work to taste it. Carnage is in your face spot on.

The same local B&M also cloned Looper which tastes NOTHING like the real thing. I don't even understand how they think it does.

Now, there are some clones at this same B&M that do taste spot on to the real thing or at least I can't tell a difference. Halo Tribeca comes to mind.

I really think its hit or miss when it comes to cloning eLiquid. Some juices are just to complex especially when the creator uses custom extracts and different aging techniques. Like with anything that's cloned, you have your good ones and you have your bad ones. Then you just have your meh ones.

Even if only small qty. ... I think everyone should at least try DIY ... if not just to be self sufficient in case of disaster.

kinda nice to have an eLiquid backup plan.
Now that's reason enough to get me into DIY. Maybe I should start stocking away a few things. What's the shelf life on Nic, PG, VG and Flavorings?

it's like beer.. i love brewing beer, but that love involves ton of sanitation rules that i have follow. realized that there are good beers out there that i can have without washing ton of stuff.

DIY is something i think about, but so far, i have found all the liquids i like from the internet vendors. later when i have more time, i might give DIY a try.. but it will be a long time until i'll go down that road.

Lots of unnecessary anger in here. Some people don't want to DIY liquid, some people do. Some people don't drip, some do. Some like mods, some don't. I think the OP is referring to specifics, like 'does anyone know of a vendor with X flavor in V strength at Y/Z PG/VG?' and the first reply is 'you should DIY'. It's sort of becoming a constant thing. Or in specific vendor threads, someone will ask about a flavor they sell, and someone will usually chime in with a 'I have a better DIY recipe for that'.

It's just not what is being asked. That's all...if someone wants to study up and/or suddenly learn to DIY, they should know where to look by now. It's quite the subforum.

Nicotine, stored in glass in the freezer, upwards of 4 yrs -- maybe a good deal longer. Pg/VG and flavorings, virtually indefinitely, if stored in "cool dark" places -- the bottom of my kitchen cabinet is where I keep my PG and VG, and the flavorings on one of those double-tiered roundabout things in the top cabinets.

Someone said something about "no high concentrations of nic, just nice vapable 12mg" -- but you save a lot of money, buying nic in 100mg/ml concentration and just using what you need to reach your desired level. If you buy it at the level you want to vape, you're paying top dollar for PG or VG instead of nicotine -- there are much cheaper ways to buy PG and VG!

Don't be so butthurt. You ask you suggestions, that's what people give you. I would love to do diy but my uncle (I live with him) isn't too crazy about me vaping and what not. Diy is like cooking or brewing. Some people aren't into it but it's probably worth it and I'm sure with time I could make better juice than I buy online.

Try the other juice in this as well. It's called Looper. Both juices are absolutely amazing. Neither one of these can be DIY'd........lol

Wow. Where do you think these juices come from? You think gods make these juices? Haha they don't. People just like me and you make these liquids. You people gotta have more faith in yourself. Smh at humanity.

Gods? Nope. People who's full time job is thinking of and creating new flavors. Yes!

I suppose you think you can cook just as good as Bobby Flay? /rollseyes

Tell you what...If you can clone Looper, I will pay you 40 cents per ML and buy 200ml from you.

Didn't start off as a full time job though buddy. I love food, I've been cooking for as long as I remember. I'm not a trained chef but I'm a great cook. I love beer, I brew beer. Not a brewmaster but I'm darn good it. Have faith in yourself man.
Lol good comparison with Bobby Flay but DIY isn't as hard as cooking. It's really about having a good palate when you're testing.
I'll take you up on that offer!
