New to DIY and need some advice

[TrackDay]

So I was considering DIY since I'm sick of forking out huge dollars for juice. I noticed when considering purchasing a clone juice mix that it doesn't list the amount it makes. I'm looking to make 100mL at a time and was wondering how do I work out the appropriate concentrate percentages?

On your clone example it shows the concentrate percentages. I think what you wish to know is the amount of concentrate to mix to make a 100ml batch.

The easiest way is to use an e-juice calculator. I suggest ejuicemeup (It's Free)

..and other areas.

Thanks for the reply. Here's the ejuicemeup results::



Is 20% too much flavouring? Last time I made a mix it was 10% flavouring and it was decent.

While 20% is on the high side, it primarily depends on the flavors used and your taste.

I don't know what the ejuicmeup result was supposed to represent, but it seems you are progressing in the correct direction.

Here's a hint, when you are experimenting only make 10 ml at a time. When starting out everything is an experiment. If the result is not to your liking you are not stuck with 100 ml of crap. Also, consider mixing by weight. It's more accurate than drops and there is less washing of syringes etc. Check out this thread: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/guide-to-mixing-by-weight.22891/ All the good calculators will give results in grams.

I'd check around on prices. That "kit", 5 flavorings at 10ml each, for $21 seems a bit high to me. Granted, I have no idea what things sell for where you are.

I've looked at a few sites in Australia selling concentrates and they're pretty competitive with their prices. I'll do some more digging to see if I can find anything cheap though.

I think I'll cut it down to 10% and go from there. I think 20% would be a bit too much for me.

Also, is it safe to presume that each flavouring has a 100% PG base?

yes for the most part - there are some flavor companies that specialize in VG based flavors, which is cool for people that want or need 100 vg mixes.

I do not suggest picking an arbitrary % number. Ten % could be way too high or low. A better method would be to follow a known, popular recipe and after sampling, adjust ingredients to your taste.
