Hello all,

I am currently using a 510 set up with regular attys and carts. I bought two bottles of juice and found that one of them is acceptable for transistioning from analogs for me.

I ordered this juice:
http://www.ecigexpress.com/e-liquid-e-juice-e-juice-10ml-c-73_76/e-juice-cherry-24mg-10ml-p-54 I think the strength is good, vapor amount is good but the throat hit and flavor are lacking. To me it tastes like cherry chapstick, gross.

I also ordered:
http://www.ecigexpress.com/e-liquid-e-juice-e-liquid-usa-c-73_74/lemon-ice-18mg-10ml-p-965, and the flavor and TH are great, just low vapor (not a deal breaker) and lower nic than I think I need.

The brands of these I can't find. Can't tell if they are PG or VG or a mix or I would try to figure this out on my own. I want to make more own juice for cost savings to replicate the Lemon Ice.

Can any one reccomend a close recipe or give me any guidance? I would have gone right to DIY but I can't post there.

Thanks in advance.

That site allows you to order flavourless basses in PG VG or 50/50 and I am sure if you ask you can get anything in between . You jumped from 24 to 8 that is a bit of a leap maybe you should have started right in the middle at 12 to 16mg/ml to see what you like . DYI maybe a little harder than you think so if you go that route make small batches with an ejuice calculator again be prepared to make some ejuice that tastes like dirty socks :) Trying to save money you will have to order flavourless basses maybe in high strengths and lots of PG or VG to mix it with then flavours on top of that be sure that is really what you want to do before you jump in . Some sites will sell you 36mg/ml flavourless nic juice that you can mix down as a starting point but DIY is like cooking it can be good or bad if you have the right recipes . Also don't make large amounts of any flavour . Tastes change after vaping the same flavour for a while so mix a base you like but flavour small amounts at a time .

Hello Xmit, ecig is a good company. I would give them a call and ask them about the juice you bought...They can tell you what mix it is and if they have the concentrate there. I'm guessing the lemon menthol may be lemon sissley with menthol in it but I can't tell for sure. As for cherry flavor, from what I hear is a hard flavor to make at least so it won't taste like Medicine..Finding the right flavor for you can be a challenge but you'll find something that works for you.

for the lemon ice I would suggest mixing some lemon with peppermint. I don' tknow what they actually use but menthol can taste like vicks but peppermint is a sweet mint. no idea on the cherry though. I could never get it to work for me. you might like strawberry or watermelon though. as far as where to get the flavors I think the best are perfumers apprentice and flavourart.
