Success!!! Finally!

[oddballzwife]

I have finally figured out at least 3 vapes that I like. I tried several flavors and found out I like my flavors strong. Everything I had been making with recipes tasted very muted to me. So I upped the %'s to the top of the recommendations (a few over) and now everything I make tastes great to me. Guess I am a flavor hog! Plus, I am always sucking on mints. Love them. So I thought if I made a minty vape it might hit that spot I had been missing. So I made Menthol Ice and WOW! It was exactly what I needed. Then to go further I made Andes Mint (one of my favorite candies) and now I don't know which I like better
Now I have to admit something, I have been smoking analogs ever since I started DIY because nothing was hitting the spot. I am now proud to say I haven't smoked all day even though I have some, and I have no desire to smoke one either Just goes to show everyone is right when they say one of the most important factors in quitting is finding a good juice. Now I quess it is time to reset my counter

And please, no one say I shouldn't use higher percents. Taste IS subjective and if it is working for me that is all that matters. If it is too high, I guess I will learn the hard way. Just like everything else in my life LOL

Sounds like you're doing everything right oddballzwife!

How true.... you are the best judge as to what tastes good to you and no one else. Go for what tastes right to you and yes, someday you may change, but until that time, enjoy what you are making. Congratulations on success!!

Congrats oddballzwife. I did the same in terms of sticking with analogs till I found something satisfying. In terms of percentages, use what works for you. One healthy day and many more to come =)

awesome congrats !!!!!!!!! very true about the right juice. I and many others Im sure struggled until the right juice came along. who really cares about what percent you didnt smoke !!!!!! if you like high percentages I have some recipes for you lol. but its like that. I have some I crank up ridiculously and some that are very low. everything is different

That is fantastic and now there is really no excuse for not having continued success. I love your avatar. Happy vaping.

So glad you had success! I was so glad to find a great recipe here that has become my ADV. (a version of tc1's RWHY4) I've made a few good flavors, but I haven't made another one that I would call an ADV.

I am glad for you. Good show!

high-5 to you! Now you have some you really like, and you can experiment with new ones as you find the time. Way to go!

Thats the best thing about DIY..you can make it exactly like you want it. I have found that in my carto tanks I like a much lower percentage then I do in my protanks.

Glad you found what works for you! That's all that matters.

Thank you everyone, everyone is so kind and helpful here. It is so nice having 3 that I am really enjoying. I am going to have to reset my counter again though, my uncle passed last night so I have smoked 3 today. Still nothing compared to what I used to smoke. Maybe I should wait to reset until I get through a few days at least.

I am so sorry for your loss. Don't worry about the counter or the few you smoke. It's not the few you smoke, it's all the ones you didn't that count. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences for your loss. I wouldn't worry to much while you are stressed about having a couple cigarettes. Like Ld3441 said, you can think of the ones you did not smoke. Get through your trying time and then buckle back down.... least that is what I would do.
