Vaping my first DIY!

[toddrhodes]

As is the customary response from anyone who's popped their DIY cherry... I should have tried this a long time ago. I picked up some funnels, a scale, bottles, and flavorings over the weekend and it all arrived today. I have some virgin VG and PG, and some premixed 25/75 pg/vg 6 mg nic juice, 150ml's of it. I vape at 3mg so I have made a base in a widemouth mason jar that works out to be 40/60 pg/vg, 3mg. I made this vanilla cream base:

And used it at a 10% ratio for about 10 ml to test. It is fantastic. I want a little more cinnamon in it but that's the easy part now. I've got one more I'm going to make tonight, then when my butterscotch arrives I'll try the Deadly Sin clone out on ELR. The next one is RY4 Bean, basically an RY4 with an extra vanilla kick. Hoping it tastes as good as the first. Can you tell I like vanilla and cinnamon yet? Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful threads and posts in this area. It inspired me to give it a shot and this stuff is honestly not as difficult as it seems, especially with resources like e-liquid-recipes to help out. Cheers all!

Good job. Now you will get hooked, and soon will have more flavorings than you know what to do with.

Congrats on your first mix.

Congratulations. In my opinion, there is no going back, unless you lose your eyesight or something. DIY is a fun learning experience that also happens to save a lot of money, and you can make juices that you will like better than most store-bought. Depending how adventurous you get, you may end up making some you don't like, but with the cost savings it is not a big deal.

Based on the flavors I like, they all tend to be pretty simple too. I'm sure they won't all be winners but at least this way I can put together a 10ml "attempt" and if it bombs? Not much lost, really. I'm glad I found some advice here to not go crazy buying syringes and pipettes and graduated cylinders and such. The only thing that requires significant volume is the nic base and my standard food scale set to grams will get it to within a fraction of a percent every time. I learned quickly in baking bread and pizza dough - measure by weight and don't look back.
