Taking the plunge....

[jbnuke]

Ok vape mail on the way.... i took the plunge after realized i go through 20-30 mil of juice a day and that makes my vape habit more expensive than my smoking habit was... i buy juice at me local b&m for around 20 for a 60 ml bottle. But i could make that same bottle for just a couple bucks. So now on the way.... 1l of 100mg nic base, bought some vg at wally world and bought the sample pack of flavorings from NicVape. So lots of vapemail coming.... and im like a little kid waiting for christmas to come.
oh and disclaimer: I worked as a labtech for years in nuclear power, so I know how to calculate percentages and concentrations to get the end result I want.

Sorry I can't provide you any links with regards to NicVape flavorings. However, there are many additives and flavor combinations that will enhance a mix. A little research goes a long way in perfecting your blends.

Things like creams, custards, caramels, marshmallow and graham cracker are very common components in a lot of recipes. These are good to have on hand, especially if you start to get confident and want more complexity in your flavors.

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. Below is the information I often give to members new to DIY.

• Dannyv45's blogs will give insight into all aspects of DYI, from steeping to what supplies to have on hand to a basic walk through mixing your first E-juice. => dannyv45 - Blogs
• Hoosier's blogs concentrate on fine tuning your mix and give insight on additives. =>Hoosier - Blogs
• For a juice mixing calculator consider using eJuiceMeUp
• If you are interested in mixing by weight (vs volume) here are a couple of great videos

Thanks for the links. Im sure ill be trying some crazy combos just for grins and giggles. I do that alot when i cook anyways and they usually come out very good. Now to see if that translates to my mixing skills (or lack thereof)

You're going to be happy for sure. I'm way more happy with diy juice than I ever was with premixed. I think it tastes better to me. I've had a couple duds that were still vapable, but most are delicious!

Welp first attempt... interesting... so i decided simple... 60 mil size, 1.8 ml of 10%nicotine, 6 ml green apple, rest vg, not bad, not great, almost overpowering warm apple flavor,... so after vaping a few ml, dropped in a ml of menthol, and omg... that changed the whole flavor profile... love it.
