Hi All.
I recently had another thread in which I was venting how disappointed I was with my DIY mixing results. You were all so kind to provide feedback and help, I thought I would share my good news - I finally had a resounding success!
I took pieces from what each of you suggested and tried to learn from it and then refined the way I was mixing.
I am sharing the recipe I made up in order to have you comment and make suggestions on where it could be improved. Plus I would like to provide my thoughts on where I think I was missing the boat so it might help others.
My preference is for a fruity vape. Good Life Vapor is my absolute favorite and so my ultimate goal was to mix something that was just as clean and crisp as Jeremy and Good Life would do. As much as I love Twilight Zone I knew that would be a push for me so I tried to duplicate Naked 100's Maui Sun.

I don't think it was so much the recipe as it was how I treated the ingredients and the process of mixing. I have refined my process. Now I mix just the flavors and then I'll shake those up together. I add the PG and shake again. Finally add the VG and shake. Then I cap and steep for at least 15 minutes. When all of that is done and I'm ready to vape, I add the Nic.When I first tried in my dripper I thought hmmm. Then I tried in my tank and thought Well! Now I'm on my second 30ML and I think I need to mix up 1000MLs. lol
In my previous mixes, harshness on the exhale was killing me. I wasn't sure if it was my bases or something else so I went out and bought new nic and PG. I have proven that the PG wasn't my issue. And it may also not have been my nic either but I definitely see a problem in the packaging due to sizes. I bought a 250ml bottle of nic and the bottle was almost rectangular. The 100ml bottle I just brought is the standard cylindrical shape. I'm wondering if the cylinder doesn't lend itself to better to shake up the contents more thoroughly then the other bottle.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Thank you all for the help in getting me over the curve.
