I don't know if its the ERA or vaping the VVG at 4.2v, but I'm going through juice like crazy. Been averaging about 10mls per day since I got these two. If I were still buying commercial joose that could be close to $5 a day or more. Now that I'm making my own I'm happy to say it less than a buck a day. Gotta love it!
Thank God for DIY

I was expecting to go through more juice with the Chalice but its actually dropped off some. I down to about 4ml per day.
I just started to do DIY and halved my nic from 24, I guess that´s why I´m chain vaping these days... 12 mg doesn't give me much TH though, I miss that.
Been going through more juice too- anyone have a good DIY for Flue Cured? Seriously!
I'm mixing up 60ml/week of my trusty standby and about 30ml/week of variation flavors. It would be wicked expensive if I was relying on store bought. There wouldn't be any money left for new mods.
Tell me about it... I need to start doing some DIY badly. We spend roughly $80 a Month on Juice, and probably another $20-30 on Cartos/Atties.
Yup, finally confident enough to make up 90ml batches of my two go-to juices. 180mls of joose, gonna have to see how long that last me. I think part of my problem is that I have so much joose on hand, and its easy enough to mix up, I don't feel that need to use it sparingly.
Starting on our DYI this weekend.
I have found that on the first week or so on the Challis I went through more juice. Heavy vapor means its using more juice IMO.
But that is the pay off for the best vape I have ever had
Going to start trying to flavor my nic juice using natural tobacco leave. I have been working out the details over the past few weeks. Got some sample tobacco leave in this evening in the mail. From there I will ad flavoring to my liking to the base Tabasco juice if needed or desired.
This is where I was pointed to get the loos leave Tabacco. Whole Tobacco Leaves by the Pound, Buy Tobacco Leaf, Bulk Tobacco, Fronto Leaf, Cigar Wrappers, Binders, and Fillers
Rambling Sorry

Can't help ya there Dave, my only attempt at a tobacco juice rendered the atty to the trash bin and the drip tip still wonky after soaking in vodka
Been sticking with the fruit flavors so far but I'm only 10 days into the fun.
I've also found I like the flavor of plain nic as long as its 100% VG ...... if I add any PG to it the flavor changes for the worst. So maybe that means I like the flavor of VG, not the nic itself. Either way I have a grand loaded with 15mg all VG plain nic and I've been picking it up more than I thought I would. I might even load the VV with the chalice with it and see if it could be my all day vape .... how simple and cheap would that be ??
My two faves I would love to get close to are LiquidXpress Taboo and AVe Hype. If anyone has a recipe to get me close to those I would be grateful.
So far the only dual flavor fruit I've really liked is strawberry lemonade.
Just some strawberry, lemon, and some sweetener. Really enjoying that one in a 2 ohm shorty carto.
Looking forward to hearing your results on this.

Tobacco vapes aren't so easy to DIY, in my opinion. Here's one that I sort of like. I have a bottle steeping. I want to see if it changes significantly after a couple of weeks.
My blend is 70/30 pg-vg, but I'll try a higher vg blend in the future to see how it turns out.
I also tried this recipe with a Latakia base and it was horrible.
- 5% Desert Ship
- 8% Irish Cream
- 8% Caramel
- 4% Cinnamon
- 4% Ethyl Maltol (dissolved in PG)
- 1% Absinthe

Tim, I strayed away from the fruits several months ago, but remember thinking TPA's Cantaloupe would have been a great start for a Hype DIY.Can't help ya there Dave, my only attempt at a tobacco juice rendered the atty to the trash bin and the drip tip still wonky after soaking in vodka

Although all of the flavoring companies out there offer products that have appealing names of scents and flavors that we're mostly familiar with and therefore have preconceived expectations of what they should taste like the simple fact is no company has a line of product that exactly matches every flavor, and some don't even come close.
The most offensive flavorings are those that have an overpowering perfumy or chemical taste which, if over flavored, can render the juice completely unvapable.
For those just venturing into the world of DIY one of the flavoring companies that one might want to start learning with is Capella. Their flavor drops tend to be the most forgiving for the novice with many of them being excellent as standalone flavors and once a bit of experienced is obtained very easy to transition into multiple flavor recipes.
The one thing the novice should not overlook is the importance of allowing a newly made juice to steep, (sit for a period of time with occasional shaking to help blend the molecules. The length of time for steeping varies greatly from a few days to a week or so for fruit and desert based juices to a month or longer for tobacco flavored juices.
A particular juice that is barely vapable the day it is mixed can transform into vaping nirvana with proper steeping.

I never liked tobacco vapes so I can't help much in that department.
I have read in this thread that alot of folks seem to like these super concentrated flavors, and I get the feeling that most of the tobacco flavors are pretty good on their own. They have many different flavors including HFC, and the thread seems to mention black 'n mild quite often. They are alcohol based flavors so should be good for someone that wants to stay away from PG.

Just a disclaimer... I tried a few of the non-tobacco flavors, mainly mints and menthols. One was OK, most I did not care for, but thats me, and I didn't try the tobaccos.

I bought some of those to try: Black and MIld, Desert Ship and Peach and I really liked them! B&M rocks! I mixed some of it with a little Gorilla Juice I still had in my Reo and it tastes like a milkshake... I think those Super Concentrated Flavors are pretty good, I have a few more on my wishlist.
Thanks for the heads up on the super concentrate- I just bought some and some nic juice in VG...we'll see how that goes!! If it all goes well, we're talking about a sustantial savings!! You can use a coupon code ECF10 as well to get %6 off on orders that are over $30.
I'm not really a tobacco flavor user but I just discovered TPA RY4 Asian this stuff is really good I may have to buy a new PV for it
