Today is the big day!!!!

[Ablonz]

I finally got up to making my first DIY purchase. Today I made the big order. 51 different flavors along with 250 ml 36 nic @ 75/25 PG/VG and a separate 250 ml bottle of PG and VG each. I had 20 flavors already made 3 ADVs with them but never had enough nic base, pg and vg to go hog wild on. My guy at the local b&m store just gave me his empty glass 15 - 30 ml bottles and 10 - 15 ml bottles to start out with. Now the fun will begin!!!!! Along with more major reading sessions of recipes to try and more to come up with on my own.

Awesome, welcome to the mad scientist realm. Insert creepy laugh here!

Be patient.

Take notes.

Have fun.

Take more notes.

Take a break when it gets frustrating.

Take even more notes!

Okay, I admit that these are things I have to tell myself. hahaha

Congratulation and I look forward to reading about your successes.

Oh and do keep good notes.

Here is a site that I found helpful in regards to pairing flavors.

Just thought I'd throw that in as a welcome to DIY.

Awesome. Thank you for the link as I will refer to it when mixing. Oh how the possibilities will be endless.

Neat. I've been DIY-ing juice for about a year now, but due to major time constraints, I have only been making single-flavor juices.

Here in the next year or so, I'll have a little more free time, and hope to create some more complex flavors.
