When you say you mix juices, do you literally just pour them together into an empty bottle without the hassle of getting base nicotine and base VG, etc?
Yeah by DIY baby step 0.5 I literally mean you take one or more juices that are pre made from a vendor and I mix them into a tank. Most of everything I buy is 50 pg 50 vg. I got some nic left at 24 mg/ml and some at 18 mg/ml. If you were to mix those equally you would get 50/50 pg/vg ratio with a 21 mg per ml concentration. Getting different concentrations really isn't my goal but I use that to step down gradually.
They way I use it most often is say I bought a 30ml of Marlboro light formula. I don't really like it and don't want to vape that on it's own. So I mix it with something I do like. For starters put half of X and half of Y into a 2 ml tank. Fill the tank like normal but just use two juices. Just turn it upside down a few times to get them flowing together and then vape.
I'm not a big menthol fan but I bought a grasshopper juice that is basically a mint / menthol type flavor. I'll fill a quarter of a tank with it and fill the rest up with with vanilla, caramel, tobacco, watermelon, red bull, coffe, mocha, etc flavor. It adds a minty/menthol flavor to anything. I guess my point is you may find flavors/vendors that you like...but don't be afraid to spice things up a notch and mix something else in.
Back to food...I really should eat something by now...but say you get a bowl of soup that you really like. Some people like to add some pepper, some people like to add some salt, some people may like to add some onion or garlic powder. By DIY baby step 0.5 your just adding something you like to make it suit your taste needs...your not creating the soup from scratch. Sorry best way I can explain it.
FYI True DIY is buying the nic, pg, vg, flavors and mixing them yourself. DIY babystep 0.5 is taking premade juices from vendors and mixing them to your liking. I generally don't mix bottles I usually just do a tank at a time. I.E don't mix half of one juice and half of another in a 30 ml bottle...you may not like it. I just put 25-50% of one flavor into a tank and 25-50% of another flavor into the same tank.
25% Caramel, 25% Vanallia, 25% tobacco, 25% coffee/mocha is something I do quite often. All 4 of the juices are from vendors and made at 50/50 pg/vg ratio at some X nic level. I just mix all 4 of them as it tastes good to me. Also some of the tobacco flavors I thought I would like but now have found that I don't I'll mix them half with watermelon, redbulll, grasshopper, etc to make them "tolerable".
It's not really DIY per se but it's mixing of premade liquids. View it as mixing 7-up and pineapple for a punch that you serve. Your not making the 7-up or the pineapple juice individually you are just mixing them to make a punch. Sorry best way I can describe by what I mean by DIY baby step 0.5
