total DIY liquid noob, need tips

Vibration speeds the steeping process.
Some use a ultrasonic cleaner.
My ry4 turns gold brown in 2 weeks keeping it in the big truck with the diesel shaking it 24/7.
I mix small batches 3-5 ml. 50/50 pg vg no nic. If it tastes bad not much $ down the drain. The good ones go 30-100 ml bottles.
On fruit flavors I'm getting better results from lorann than tfa, for my tastes.
Using walmart vg and wizzard pg and nic base.

Glad to see that i am not the only one that messes up the first batch. Mine tasted great right away then 2 days later tasted horrible! I thought the wife slipped some more flavoring in it or something. that was as well around 15% flavor i cut it down to 5% flavor hope it turns out better. I do love saving money making my own juice though

I read that before. But i was not sure about mixing the flavors.. I should have clarified that in my first question.

It gives percentages.

You have enough posts to post questions in the DIY sub where more mixers will see such a question.

Maybe pop over there and clarify your question?

for all the newcomers wanting to start DIY take it slow i started 1yr ago one way to save money on start up is save your old juice bottles rinse them out then soak them over nite with thoes denture tablets ( efferdent etc ) you will find even the most stinky juices will disappear and you know and i know its easy to have 30+ bottles lying around , buy your vg/pg in bulk $54.49 1 gl each http://www.essentialdepot.com/servlet/the-Propylene-Glycol/Categories
same with nic but find whats in your budget i tend to get all pg base nic and my calculator takes that into account
now for the biggie flavors ....its just like the sea of juice vendors you will find over time you cannot buy all your flavs at one store im sorry
but if you are into fruit flavs i have found the most bang for my buck is vaping zones super concentrate flavors most use 2-3% so on a 30ml bottle of super con. ($16) i can make 300-450 ml's but starting out start with the 10ml bottles at $5.99 they run coupon codes for 10-20% quite often i also like alot of capellas but you may be using 10-15% so less bottles of juice will be made also hangsens is pretty good they seem to be slightly stronger than capellas or tpa but when getting your feet wet if you can swing it 15-30 small flavors will give you a small window of " i like blueberry from vendor A more than vendor B"

great advice - thank you

I found that I had to use the Loranns with other blends. For example my pg/vg/unflavored nicotine/ry4/loranns cherry
