Super Easy DIY Method

[FogHawg]

Hey, somebody wanna try my new recipe & tell me what you think? All FlavorEX stuff. 3ml of nic base + 1 drop banana + 2 drops creme + 1 drop walnut. Simple, but tastes pretty good to me for a 1st try...wish I could add 1 drop of graham cracker tho. I need more flavors!!

Thank you Darkhood! Because of this thread I've ventured into DIY & my first simple little 3ml experiment turned out really good! I doubt I'll be buying any more 'boutique' juices from now on. BTW, I found out that unflavored premixed nic base is pretty decent all by itself too.

You're welcome, that's what I like to hear.. More feedback like this pls, stickin it to the vendors makes me happy

 

[sgenn99]

thanks for that-i've got almost everything ready to start my diy adventure... everything except for time, that is. lol
i really like tobacco type flavors, and i want to stay away from the fruity/candy stuff. does anybody have any suggestions for recipes? i want to keep it simple at first, maybe make a good ry4 or dk tab type juice for myself... there's just so much to know before getting started, and i'm a bit intimidated.

my fav is FA royal which is actually in stock right now at ecx. shade is pretty good too.

That's kinda mean, Bro... I get where you're coming from, but the vendors actually help our community in a lot of ways. For one, they help bring more vapers into the hobby by offering them their first taste of vapor vs smoke. I agree that a lot of stuff is overpriced, but as volume of sales and customers grows, prices might eventually come down.... Competition usually has a way of influencing that. I'd have never made it without my favorite vendor when I first decided to switch to vaping.

Best of luck DIYing.... I wish everyone success when venturing into mixing... Just felt I needed to defend the vendors a little on this.

Just got my first diy order last night and mixed up a bunch of tobacco bases, and a few other things. I dripped a few for grins and giggles, and they already taste pretty good. Steeping as we speak. Yea.

What tobacco bases did you find to be good right away? What tobacco flavors were you buying that weren't DIY.

I ask, because the tobacco flavors for DIY that I bought, I haven't been thrilled with.

I used to buy Dekang desert ship.

The super concentrates are great with this method. Only a few drops so your nic level isn't effected as much.

I bought them all at ecigexpress

The ones that were pretty tasty were
10 ml 50/50 18 mg
15 drops of signature label tobacco

10 ml. 50/50 18 mg
15 drops flavor art Tuscan reserve
3 drops off vanilla

5 ml 50/50. 18 mg
9 drops signature label tobacco
5 drops flavor art nut mix
4 drops caramel
2 drops caramel

10 ml 50/50 18 mg
12 drops of signature label double RY4

They tasted pretty good. I'm sure they will taste better in a week, but not bad out of the gate
I did soak them all in some hot water for about an hour. Don't know if it helped.
I also bought some DK 2, dark vapure, and black mile. They are not ready for prime time yet.
Cheers.

New fav concoction: hypno mist + oba oba + ylang ylang + royal + honey + menthol ice

Nice semi-sweet, exotic, vanilla flavored pipe-y tobacco - rly smooth, highly recommended.

 

[cherrycakes]

do u ever make like one simple flavor?

I made cinnamon churro today.
pretty good, not the same as the vendor juice but good.
gonna let it steep a while

 

[darkhood]

Yea like I said I vape mostly hypno mist and oba oba, both by themselves plus watermelon w/ menthol ice. I prefer simple 1 or 2 flavor juices but for fun make lil 5ml bottles of 5-8 flavor juices - 90% of the time they're good enough to finish the bottle - some even turn out good enough to make more of but yea mostly I prefer the simple 1-3 flavor mixes. The one I just listed came about organically, I had royal mixed w/ oba oba, hypno mist and menthol ice and another bottle of royal, honey and ylang ylang and thought they'd go well together, threw em in a 15ml bottle together and it turned out to be perfectly balanced.

 

[darkhood]

Just mixed a 60ml bottle, turned out even better...rly good stuff, maybe ma new "all-day vape".

 

[cherrycakes]

you give me flavor envy

 

[darkhood]

well i offered to send u a sample and u turned me down for some reason so...that's that i guess.

If you want this turned into a chat thread, I can move it to off topic.

 

[darkhood]

Update: Ecx *might* be watering down flavors, my last order was weak and I just got a pm from someone else w/ the same problem. I have to use 4-6 drops per 1ml now instead of 1-2. Probably due to the influx of new customers from this thread lol. Plus they never gave me my code so yea, your best bet might be to google flavour art condensed and unflavored nicotine base. There's some other links in this thread too if u read through.

I would never turn you down!

Also have u tried any flavors from flavor west?
their churro is good and looking at their horchata as well

Send me some vato! I keed.

Just to reiterate the super concentrates from VZ are choice. Good thing about the SC's are when you use this diy method you don't mess up the nic level too much.
