What are you currently working on?

I have some 60mg nic base and some extra bottles coming from WL... they seriously can NOT get here fast enough... I have no spare bottles and all I want to do is make like 60ml (at least!) of this last batch... I keep tasting it and it grows on me more and more! I just don't want to start filling up my Ithaka because I don't want to run out and have to switch juices and coils again before going back to this blend.
I need a good name for this one because I think I will be vaping it for a while!

Subver, I didn't see your last post! Did you get all the percentages worked out to mix it from scratch? Have you tried Scubadatdan's spreadsheet?

And I think it's awesome you've gotten a DIY Success!!! Here's to many more in the future!

I think I have it down, but still measuring in drops.. I still need to convert that to actual ml's and percents! I'm just waiting to get my bottles in the mail so I can actually make more! All my bottles are filled with flavors!

I've heard of Scuba's spreadsheet, but where/what is it?

Thanks FinallyQuit!

There's a link to it in the sticky's at the top of the forum. It's downloadable and it's loaded with goodies. Don't worry, there's an instruction sheet in there too.

Cool I'll have a look!

So I just mixed up a fresh 10ml batch of my delicious juice I made. This time I used straight flavor and what I think to be accurate measurements. Still using drops but now I have down percentages and final ml down, so I should be able to dial in to exact ml's.
anyway.. It definitely smells much different! I'm hoping it just needs to steep, my first batch I used pre-steeped flavors in nic base.. So I think the juice was pretty much steeped when it was all mixed.
I'm just hoping I can replicate this juice again! Luckily I did write down every detail so there's no reason I can't! There are 3 tobacco flavors in it so I'm assuming it just needs to steep a while.

I think I'm working on going crazy. I'm having a painful newbie learning experience!

Here's one I am working on at the moment...

Butter Pecan Cake
CA Cake Batter - 4.5%
FW Butter Pecan - 3.0%
HS Vanilla - 2.5%
FA Vienna Cream - 1.5%
CA Vanilla Custard - 1.5%
CA Marshmallow - 1.0%
Ethyl Maltol - 1.0%
TFA Caramel Original - 1.0%

This is my third rendition so far.... Awesome after 10 to 14 day steep

Currently steeping 30 sample flavors and subscribing to this thread. Still a babe in newbie land.

Just a quick update: It's been about 4 days since I made my second batch of my delicious juice. It's starting to smell better. I think what I was smelling was the overpowering vinegary smell (probably that with the other flavors) - but it's starting to dissipate. Phew! Hopefully it's perfect, because I just got 60mg nic base from Wizard Labs and I plan on making a big batch of this stuff for an everyday vape.
My other batches are lower than 18mg (my target) because when I first started I stupidly bought 18mg nic thinking the flavors would only be a few drops.. not 20% of my final juice!

I need to start working on something new now, though.. maybe I will keep tweaking this flavor as well.

So glad I got into DIY..

Tried my Creamy Tiramisu. It's been about 10 days since I made it.

Tastes like sour milk at certain voltages. No bueno.

Oooh bummer.. I've got a Tiramisu from TFA - I haven't tried it yet though!

Is that the FA Tiramisu?

 

[FinallyQuit]

It's the Bavarian Cream. This has happened before but I apparently blocked it out!

I'll have to check my spreadsheet at home, I think it is FA.

I have that steeping, I was hoping for a better review!

 

[FinallyQuit]

Mine's only been steeping about 11 days. It's great at really low voltage, but turn it up, tastes yech.

I think I'll let mine sit on the shelf for a little longer.

I still really need to order some magnetic stirring rods so I can use them with my magnetic stirring hotplate to steep faster! I wish I just had unlimited money to spend! Don't we all, though?

 

[michaelsil1]

It's time to experiment FA Tiramisu and FA Catalan Cream. 8-o

For small batches I use drops as well. I took a teaspoon and propped it into a small cup so it would stay level. Then I counted the number of drops it took for me to fill it. There are 5 mls in a teaspoon. I divided that number by 5 to get drops per ml. I consistently came up with 40, but it will depend on which dropper you use. I was using one of the glass droppers that fit the 8ml glass viles from wizard labs. Then I can convert my drops to percentages.. For example 2 drops per 5 ml equals 1%.

According to eJuice Me UP calculator one drop per 5 ml is 1%.
