Your worst DIY experience or funny one in vaping.

My worst so far was when I wanted to add vanilla to my tobacco flavor. I added extract just a bit but I added it into the 3.5ml tank and it was not, as Alton Brown would say "good vapes". I did do a little better on cinnamon but it was still to strong. Did good on Menthol but I only use that soothing my sinus. I now have done my proper homework and have a juice calculater and the stuff on order to do it properly. Lucky for me I was a bit of a chemist making my own shave oils and water purification for camping so I had most of the stuff. Including a ton of the fancy soft eyedroppers.
I'm getting better about not spilling.

Not just with juice experiences.

My worst juice ever was the first tobacco juice I made with a tobacco absolute base mixed with pure grain alcohol, pg and some hazelnut flavoring. It was about 3 years ago. I was using an 801 automatic. Dripped a few drops on my atty. I'll never forget it. I threw my e-cig down on the desk and just stared at it like it was poison. After I "recovered", I picked up the e-cig, took the atty off and threw it away. I didn't take another vape for about 2 hours. I just couldn't believe something could taste that bad. I still DIY but no tobacco flavors for me!

I like menthol with the fruity ones added to it. But I would like to branch off
to some others, but the worst flavor I made was putting orange in with menthol.
EWWWW. Don't try that, trust me.

I was thinking of some hazelnut and maybe some cappuccino flavors..hmmm.....

OH yea. I have some cappuccino ready mix coming in. Hazelnut Yum. Nutella and cappuccino???

Mixing a test batch of red hots at 20%. I can't describe how bad it was. Another non mix trick I pulled, topping off a one third full vivi nova with the wrong flavor that was sitting nearby. Took a few hits and thought, my God what is this ----?

 

[Cookster]

Wintergreen @ 20% flavoring...GAHHHHHH

 

[MorpheusPA]

Mint pomegranate chocolate. It sounded good in my head, pomegranate with a chocolate note and a faint bit of mint.

Just don't try that one at home. Trust me.

Did that too sorry to say. First two drags..hey, I got it. After that, no mas.

I have a blue cheese and bacon mix steeping. It smells so strong that I have it triple bagged and away from my other juices. This has potential to be awful, and I cannot bring myself to try it yet. The smell is overwhelming.....

Will give an update if I actually work up enough nerve to try it.

Now that ^ is really Brave!
It's exactly how I treat our Real blue cheese, never occurred me a flavour would behave as badly.
Please, please, please you must tell us what it's like, I love to laugh

2 years ago I made crab juice vomit. This brings back nightmares. I love fish and Old Bay Seasoning. I took a 1/2tsp of OBS and wrapped it in cheese cloth after I got as much salt out of it as I could. I steeped it in PG nic for a couple days...boy it smelled good. I had tuna flavoring on the way. When it finally arrived, I took my OBS mix, dripped in a few drops of tuna...still smelled heavenly...gave it a light hot water bath (I couldn't wait to vape this stuff), got my atty ready...and took a drag. First one, the flavor hadn't hit me yet. Took another one, and BAM, it was like vaping crab juice vomit. Oh my gawd, I couldn't get the stench or taste out of me for hours. I thought I was going to have to snort sand followed by carpet freshener to remove the left behind stench particles that was trapped in my nasal/throat passages. NEVER AGAIN will I mix fishy flavors with anything. On the other hand, the old bay seasoning wasn't too bad if you could get past the "feels like I just ate a flame thrower on high power" feeling.

Now 2 years later, I have better sense...or so I think I do.

Positively Hysterical, I got the giggles and haven't stopped. Never have I come across more Optimists than on ECF.

Oddly enough my worst so far was an attempt at a caramel cheesecake. Still have not pin pointed where or what went so very very wrong but it ended up tasting like what I suspect rotten toe jam might taste like *shudder*.

 

[Skyway]

The worst time was when some nic juice popped up and hit me the eye. The one freaking time I do not use glasses

Another time when when I was pushing some VG through a syringe and something happened(because it was so thick, I was pressing really hard) and the whole thing, bottle and all, just went flying, needless to say juice was everywhere, lol.

 

[BakuPeg]

I mixed TPA Carmel Cappichino 20%.

I read much later the usual mix is 1 drop per 10ml.

My husband poured it down the drain and to this day the drain smells like it.

Can't do fish. LOL Otherwise my cat would be taking my PV and hiding it. LOL Thankfully we survive this stuff. I have a kit on order to DIY the correct way. I am hard headed. I am one of those that follows this. If in doubt read the instructions when all else fails follow them. LOL I finally did some homework.

asked my brother to pick me up some VG from Walgreens, he had no clue what it was so I told him to just ask a pharmacist, they in turn gave him laxative suppositories made with liquid glycerin, I can't bring myself to throw it away, was too much of a coward to return it, have to keep it hidden to hide potential awkward situation
