Vaper Stylz DIY start

[militiascene]

So, I just ordered a nice bit of DIY supplies to begin testing some new flavor combos for a possible new collection of ejuice. Started off with:
125 mL of 100 mg PG Nicotine base
250 mL PG
250 mL VG
15 mL TFA sweetener
12 drams of different LorAnn flavor extracts
Nicotine test kit from eLiquidTest [dot] com
Syringes, etc..
I will post updates when I get everything in and start up. I'll also post weekly aging updates on the juice!

did you research any recipes....you will also need to stock-up on some base flavors (you'll be using alot of in your mixes) depending on what type of juice your gonna make (like sweet cream, custards, vanilla ect...also some Ethyl Malto and some Acetyl Pyrazine, Tart & Sour always come in handy.

 

[militiascene]

Its funny because the acetyl pyrazine smells like corn chips.
Definitely need to look into having some ethyl maltol for some of my citrus flavorings(which I'm waiting to start until later).
Right now I'm starting with some different fruit and mint combos. Also gonna mess with some pistachio a little bit which I may bum some acetyl pyrazine from a buddy for that. Don't plan on doing any custard/baked goods flavors, at least for now. Definitely gonna keep a stock of vanilla on hand though.

what percentage of flavor are you gonna start with?

 

[militiascene]

It depends on the flavor. I'll probably start most mixes at 10-20% then work upwards because I am doing my samples in 10mL bottles. Less waste that way.

 

[militiascene]

That way I can also see what is nice as a subtle taste and what needs to just be outright and up front.

 

[sando7]

i did the same thing but found out that the 10 to 20% percentage was to low for me, your taste might be different...try one of the recipes i sent ya to tell the difference...loranns is pretty strong might be ok at lower %

 

[militiascene]

Yeah LorAnns is supposed to be a super strength extract and is used in a lot of homemade candies. Plus, they have so many different flavors to choose from. My cart first showed over $30 with 22 flavors so I had to take some off for the moment. Too many to try at once anyway.

 

[sando7]

make 2 10ml bottles at 20%...make 2 at 35% before you jump all the way in....then you can judge which way to go....

or 1 @ 10 or 15%....... try 3 diff % first

before you know it you'll have a big box full of flavors, it takes me 30 min or so to sort mine when i'm looking for a certain flavor
