Super Easy DIY Method

[jxc0175]

It was mentioned that nicotine is thick so it takes to long to fill a syringe. Is this true in nicotine with a PG base? I would think the PG would make the liquid thinner. The reason why I ask is I am getting ready to start making my own juice and I think a syringe would make it even easier to do.

I have no problem using a syringe with PG based nicotine. It's only a problem with VG or with high VG juices.



ETA: Though, personally, most of my measuring is done in graduated cylinders (10 and 25ml). I mostly use syringes only for the flavoring and for filling cartos and tanks.

Thanks, that's what I figured from everything I have read.

Thanks Darkhood for this excellent and simple method. Always hesitate in DIY, but now definitely worth a try.

Yea well I enjoy flinging e-juice all over my house, it's soothing and my cat likes the smell. I keep having to remind myself ppl take things so literally here...as if I'm dumping gallons of nic juice all over my boots and have no clue what I'm doing...my point was - if you don't want you don't have to be so meticulous when mixing juice this way - it's actually more fun to just mix it up and see what you get, most of the time it'll be pretty good if you have any common sense at all and don't feel like something like cucumber, grape and peanut butter would be a tasty combination... Personally I don't take any notes cuz if I make something I really like I can always mix it again by smell, color and taste. You know when it's right and being analytical and meticulous about it takes all the fun out of it, for me at least.

Gosh golly... That sounds even more inviting to give it a whirl! Well at least sometime I'll be able to give it a try. First I have to play catch up on some hardwares first to see what is just right for me and then "EXPERIMENT"! just a little!

FYI, it's against ECF rules to post referral codes in the forum. It doesn't stop people from PMing you for it, if they are so inclined.

Nazis...

ECF rules blow me (away).

Thanks Darkhood and thanks everyone for the tips on flavorings. I'm on the hunt for a good, realistic, juicy peach flavoring! Any thoughts?

Lol thx, will do. Hopefully I'll have it by the end of the week. Btw my last order from them was perfect, had a problem w/ leaking last time and the base had a strong nic smell plus the hypno mist was off, this time everything was double wrapped lol (had to blast em for that) and my hypno mist is back to its former glory. FA cocoa is ridiculous, tastes like hot chocolate and the cookie is amazing, like liquid chips ahoy it's obscene. Bread crust is wack...idk what possessed me to try it...inhaling vaporized bread crust sound like a good idea to anyone?

TFA peach is pretty good but like most fruits i find that it is alot better with a little sweetener and maybe some tart.

Yes. It's quite odd.... I thought it was gonna be like fresh baked rye bread crust or something but no, it's more like herb crust w/ garlic lol, it's wack I tell you. NOT recommended.

The OP didn't post a recipe so I will use the only one posted in this thread for my example.

...
15ml bottle with 12ml of Premixed 24mg Nic 50/50

50 drops of BM Watermelon
15 drops of LA strawberry
10 drops of TFA sweetener
4 drops of TFA sweet tarts
4 drops TFA bubblegum
4 drops TFA cotton candy
4 drops of TFA white cake

.

Bottom line, If you feel the urge to pull into the gas station to grab a pack of smokes, it might be the reduced nic ( - 7mg ) and if your throat hurts, it might be the increased PG( + 13% ). I used the premixed approach and found that I was not getting what I needed after adding flavors so I went back to using ml's (nic,pg,vg ) using the calculator. You might also note that the total amount exceeds the 15ml bottle. Thats because not all "drops" are equal. Depends on pressure applied to the dropper, size of the dropper and whether or not you lost count of the drops (accuracy ) ejuicemeup assumes 20 drops per ml, which is the defacto standard, but, each liquid has their own drop counts. Additionally, you might want to recreate a "perfect" mix again!

Btw cherry my evod hits better than the protank w/ stock heads but I just put an evod head in it and it hits perfect now - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion/397237-protank-airy-draw-fix.html

This is probably self-defeating but I thought I'd post my fav flavors anyway, ppl seem to want recommendations. Like I said FA is the only company I buy from anymore so these are all FA flavors, basically in descending order:

Hypnotic Mist
Oba Oba
Menthol Arctic (I mix this w/ almost everything, gives a nice clean menthol kick)
Watermelon (w/ lots of menthol ice)
Cookie
Black Cherry (w/ lots of menthol ice)
Vanilla Tahiti
Royal Tobacco (not big on tobacco flavors but this one's awesome, always sold out tho)
Cocoa
Caramel
Peppermint
Hazelnut
Oakwood (mixer - goes well w/ almost anything)
Zen Garden (same ^)
Liquid Amber (this is a weird one - tastes like vaping a pinecone...use it sparingly and it's rly good)
Maxx Tobacco

Stay away from: Bread crust
And anything from Hangsen imo.

I've been wanting to try the zen garden what does it taste like?
