Super excited!!

[talon4x4]

According to my USPS tracking numbers all my DIY stuff from ecigexpress and One shop DIY should be delivered tomorrow. Spent $100 on everything but I have enough to make around 30 bottles of juice. Its kind of expensive to get started but now that I have all the equipment things should be much cheaper next time. I spent hours picking out flavors, mixing containers, bottles, nic juice, pg, vg, and researching in between. Can't wait to get started tomorrow.

Anyone have any sites with good recipes?! I will be using all TFA flavors.

Good luck to you and welcome to the forums. Bought my stuff from there too. It's sitting at the house waiting for me to come home but it'll be a while before I get home from my current assignment. Can't wait to start vaping my own goods.

Yes there is the DIY section here DIY E-Liquid

And there is a specific TFA thread in there that you may find is helpful http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread.html

DIY is a lot of fun and, sometimes, very exasperating. Read the stickies there too, a lot of excellent information. Hoosier has some excellent blogs that are well worth reading here E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

Most of all, be careful, have patience and have fun!

Thanks for the info! I even got the wife excited about this. She can't wait to start mixing it up with me.

My big package from ecigexpress never showed up. They shipped it on the 21st and it should have been here today but according to USPS its still in Washington. Someday I'll learn to stop choosing the post office. I always seem to have some sort of trouble with them. All my TFA flavors from One Shop DIY showed up though. They even threw some extras in there for me. What a great company!

Aw, I'm so sorry about the frustration btw, in case you ordered the 100% nicotine juice, please, please be very careful about handling it and storing it, esp if you have children. It's serious poison. Our kids are convinced the basement is haunted, and never go there. That's where I've hidden it.

Same thing happened to me from a different vendor. I ordered a couple of quarts of PG and VG and is stopped moving at the sorting location. I have visions of the package exploding at the USPS sort center and requiring a hazmat team or something like that.

Read as much as you can about mixing this stuff. I don't do the fruit candy flavors yet but I have learned (the hard way) is to use the low end of the percentage numbers on the recopies. If it says 5% I start with half of that especially with tobacco flavors. My taste buds are coming back to life after 30 years of "ashtray mouth" and are very sensitive to every flavor. I have leaned that what you think is going to be your base flavor (i.e. tobacco, chocolate, coffee) can be over run with the slightest amount of enhance flavors cream, vanilla, sweetener and especially anything with meant flavor or menthol.

This is a blast and I am hooked now...

Good luck and have fun Oh and search about Ultrasonic cleaners it cuts weeks off of steep time...
