Testing DIY Bases?

[Tom Forde]

You could try heating up your VG/PG base before adding nic & flavoring. I mainly DIY my juice at 80VG:20PG. What I'll do is make the base in a glass vial/bottle, close it off and heat it in a hot bath on the stove so the VG in loosens up, and have the nic and flavors in separate syringes ready to be mixed with the base once it's hot. When it's about 150° (I do not use boiling water), I'll take the bottle out of the pot, wipe the water off, take off the cap and add the nic & flavors and shake. When the juice cools down to room temp it's generally pretty good depending on flavor.
