Woohoo! My first DIY is complete

[tunafish]

First off, thanks to all on this forum who helped with the math and questions i had, Im sure there will be more to come.

So i made 6 sample flavors all with the equal amounts.

I used 10ml bottles with..

3ml of 60mg nicotine VG
5ml of PG
1ml of VG
1ml of flavor

Resulting in 60pg/40vg 18mg nic

Now I will let it steep for 24 hours or so and then taste the flavors. I suppose if the flavor is weak after 48 hours i could just and a little more.

I didnt take any pics while I was mixing because yall had me nervous handling the nicotine, so I was concentrating lol. I laid out some paper towel, got my syringes out with a hot cup of water to toss the used syringes in when finished using, set up all my flavors/pg n vg/nic/new dropper bottles, and got down to business. I first added the nicotine to all bottles and then tossed the syringe in the water, moved on to add ing the pg, then the vg, and finally the flavor. I wiped up any drips around the bottles (maybe one drip total) and capped everything up. I gave them all a shake and labeled them with tape & a sharpie. Now i set them up in the closet for the steep. With any luck and hoping I did evrythng right, I should be enjoying my very own DIY juice tomorrow evening, until then im stuck suckin on the last of my tutti frutti. Did i mention tutti frutti is HORRIBLE!?!

Heres a couple pics of the finished product.

CONGRATS!!! Hope that they vape as awesome as they look!

 

[nickgonzo]

What brand of flavoring you are using?

 

[glassmanoak]

Looks Great! Good Luck! I remember the first time I did DIY with fond memories.

Congratulations Well done so happy you worked this all out.

 

[recidivus]

Awesome, congrats on your first batch! Though I'm a bit OCD and would have arranged them a bit differently...lol.

Hope they all work out, keep us posted.

Congrats! Now you did it... you are going to get hooked

Not thats its a bad thing. but a few flavors only go so far then you'll be in search for the holy grail.

But you'll insist on DIY

 

[Caridwen]

Congrats!

Of course we're going to need recipes if they turn out good!

Congratulatioins and welcome to the DIY frenzy

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Awesome feeling, isn't it?

I'm almost at the point I need to do batch #2. Since I really liked my 45/55 PG/VG mix and nic level is good I think I may pre-mix this weekend and order more flavors. I'll do the nic high enough to compensate for flavors and be ready

Not hijacking, but my first batch (3*5mL) is done. 2 are single falvours, one is more adventurous and uses a whoppin' 2. And now the wait

Welcome to the "stuck with horrible tasting e-juice while waiting for something good" club!

When I first got my new Ego-T almost 2 weeks ago, I had also ordered like 6 concentrated flavors, and 2 pre-mixed e-juices, so I guessed I'd be set and good to go for a while! Nope........

It was all from Totally Wicked, and their raspberry concentrate flavor was/is awful. Aside from that, all the gold label flavors and the pre-mixed e-liquids(2) were all tobacco flavored with either menthol or currant, etc. The tobacco flavoring in them all had an awful top note flavor to them that made them un-vape-able. I set them all aside on a dark shelf to steep.

So I was stuck with zero good flavors til I could order more from the internet, which would take a few days to arrive. So I actually just made an unflavored e-liquid from nicotine concentrate and diluent to 11mg/ml. To make matters worse, TW sent me all VG diluent, and all PG nicotine, so when I mixed it I had a 90% VG to 10% PG ratio in my unflavored 11mg/ml e-liquid. Thats left me with lots of vapor, but almost no throat hit.

But it worked for 3 days til I got in my next round of e-liquids.

But the silver lining was that the awful flavor in the TW tobacco flavored concentrates and e-liquids steeped for 10 days, and then the awful top note flavor completely disappeared. So I just made a new blend of flavors and e-liquids to come up with a good menthol tobacco flavored juice, and I just posted it today on the DIY e-liquids forum, because it came out great!

I came here first: Capella single flavors are expensive but almost noob proof. I hated TFA/Loranns in comparison. For your second DIY

Can vape most right away, rest get stronger as you wait.

Single flavors are totally noob-proof: coconut, raspberry, brownie (go low! %), cake batter rocks!... If your flavors don't turn out great or you want some you're 100% sure will be solid. Try some easy Capella's singles next time...

Grats on the DIY!

Make sure you get some easy solid singles you like in place BEFORE you make recipes. Sadly, I made 14 recipes and I thought they all sucked. All. Or, as people posted above, you can get stranded with a pack of crap you don't like at once. Capella's is nice to have around cause you can toss in the drops and vape immediately--no steeping required. You toss in that TFA perfumey caramel and vape it then you will gag...

Congrats and just a little tip. Use a sharpy, the fine tipped one, and label them. Then take a small piece of scotch tape and tape over the label you wrote. Otherwise the first bit of juice will wipe off the writing. I have something like 50 bottles of juice around that I have no idea what is in them. In fact I went though yesterday and tossed out at least twenty.

Have fun and I hope they all turn out great for you.
